A native of the City of Richmond, Allen grew up in a Victorian era home in the city's downtown. It was there that he had his first brushes with the paranormal. Allen was exposed to the city's history and lore at a very early age. That sparked a lifelong interest in history and the paranormal which ultimately lead him to join CPRI in 2007. In joining CPRI, he was thrilled to find a group that approached the study of the paranormal in such an interesting and professional manner. In addition to working as the Public Affairs Officer for CPRI, Allen also serves as investigator with the Central Virginia regional team. Allen has a Bachelor's of Science degree in Criminal Justice from Virginia Commonwealth University with minor courses of study in sociology and urban planning. He has spent nearly twenty years involved in the public safety field including search and rescue, EMS and law enforcement. Allen has spent the last twelve years serving in law enforcement and currently works as a criminal investigator. His interests include almost anything involving history (especially WWII), collecting and reproducing sci-fi movie props and costumes, traveling, and reading. Allen currently lives in Richmond with his very patient wife, Monica, his young daughter and their canine son, Ned.- www.virginiaghosts.com

Jason Valenti is a resident of Ferndale, WA. He was introduced to the Bigfoot/Sasquatch phenomenon in 1996 one spring morning at 4 a,m. in the Appalachicola National Forest near Tallahassee, Florida. Since that moment he has been driven to find out more about this elusive species. He moved from Largo, FL to Bellingham, WA in 1999. In the 10 years of residency he has discovered some very interesting areas in the Pacific Northwest that he frequents with several other researchers. His research has led him into the same areas that Lloyd Pye has tapped into and he is in the process of writing a book and developing a foundation called Hominoid Research Group for the further studies of Hominoids. - www.sasquatchresearch.net

Rosalind Peterson is California President and Co-Founder of the Agriculture Defense Coalition (ADC). The ADC was formed in 2006, to protect agricultural crop production from uncontrolled experimental weather modification programs, atmospheric heating and testing programs, and ocean and atmospheric experimental geoengineering programs. The ADC works to educate the public in protecting agriculture crop production, crop trees, and cattle ranching from the negative impacts of these programs. The ADC works to educate the public about experimental and unregulated weather modification programs and U.S. Senate and U.S. House Bills that would "modify" or "mitigate" our weather, damage crop production in the United States, disrupt micro-climates, and negatively impact public health. When coupled with geoengineering schemes and experimental atmospheric programs, (and the chemicals used in these programs), the negative impact of these programs, and their unknown synergistic effects, could have profound effects on pollinators, wildlife, agriculture, trees, human health, soils, and our water supplies. Note: NASA research studies show that increasingly persistent jet contrails may turn into man-made clouds (or white haze), that are "…trapping warmth in the atmosphere and exacerbating global warming…" NASA (2005), goes on to state that "…Any change in global cloud cover may contribute to long-term changes in the Earth's climate. Contrails, especially persistent contrails, represent a human-caused increase in the Earth's cloudiness, and are likely to be affecting climate and ultimately our natural resources…" Ms. Peterson was a Keynote Speaker at the 60th Annual DPI/NGO Conference on Climate Change (New York on September 5-7, 2007.) She spoke about agriculture and the negative impacts of geoengineering and persistent jet contrails on tree and plant health, along with other important issues. Since that she has presented her United Nations Power Point Presentation to colleges, universities and interested groups. She has been interviewed on numerous radio and television programs with regard to these programs. In 1995, Rosalind, now retired, became a certified California United State Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency Agriculture Crop Loss Adjustor working in more than ten counties throughout California. Many crop losses throughout the State can be attributed to weather related causes. Between 1989 and 1993 Rosalind worked as an Agricultural Technologist for the Mendocino County Department of Agriculture. After leaving Mendocino County she took a position with the USDA Farm Service Agency as a Program Assistant in Mendocino, Sonoma, and the Salinas County Offices, where she worked until becoming certified as a crop loss adjustor for the USDA, State of California. - www.californiaskywatch.com

Hypnosis is the bypass of the critical factor of the conscious mind combined with the establishment of selective thinking, says the US Government. Hypnosis is a blend of physical relaxation and extreme mental alertness. Yes, I said extreme. Hypnosis is a state of focused concentration. This is why a few minutes of emotional expression in trance is worth hours in an alert state. Humans are so easily distracted, and the Conscious mind is forever making excuses for everything. In hypnosis, the conscious mind is set aside, and excuses are seen for what they are. Hypnosis is guided imagery combined with specific suggestions to effect desired change. Ah, there's that phrase: guided imagery. Many hypnotists dislike the connotation of the H word, hypnosis, so they call themselves practitioners of guided imagery. Be not fooled, they are hypnotists. Guided meditation? Hypnosis. Relaxation techniques? Hypnosis. Hypnosis is the state you enter into every time you watch a favorite tv show, see a film you like, or sit down at the computer intending to only be there for 10 minutes... and suddenly it's two hours later. Hypnosis also happens when humans fall in love, literally entranced. - www.thearizonahypnotist.com

Bishop James Long studied for the Roman Catholic priesthood for more than 6 years. During his years in the seminary, Bishop Long received solid academic and spiritual formation. Through prayer and spiritual advisement, Bishop Long accepted God's call to become an Independent Catholic Priest. He was ordained a Deacon, Priest and was consecrated a Bishop within the Old Catholic Church. Bishop Long has always known that he had a calling to serve in the priesthood. He can remember a burning desire to become a priest when he was just 5 years old, and that desire has never left him. By age of 9, Bishop Long was also called to study demonology and began absorbing anything he could on the subject. While attending the seminary, the Bishop was able to study the subject in more depth, and was mentored by a properly ordained and experienced Exorcist. Bishop Long is the author of a book called, "Through the Eyes of an Exorcist." He's also the founder of The Paranormal Clergy Institute. The institute was specifically created for paranormal groups to find help when dealing with demonic entities. The Bishop has performed over 23 documented exorcisms, and his desire to teach people about demonology continues as his ministry grows. Currently the Bishop serves as the Presiding Archbishop for the United States Old Catholic Church where he teaches demonology classes and hosts a weekly radio show on the Para-X radio network called "The Sacred Division." - www.paranormalclergy.com

Howard Bloom, a Visiting Scholar at New York University, is founder of the International Paleopsychology Project, executive editor of the New Paradigm book series, a founding board member of the Epic of Evolution Society, and a member of the New York Academy of Sciences, the National Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Psychological Society, the Human Behavior and Evolution Society, The European Sociobiological Society, and the Academy of Political Science. He has been featured in every edition of Who's Who in Science and Engineering since the publication's inception. Bloom has taken an unusual approach to the study of mass moods and cultural convolutions. He started out normally enough, building his first Boolean algebra machine at the age of twelve, becoming a dedicated microscopist that same year, codesigning a computer which won a Westinghouse Science Award before he left grade school, and being granted a private brainstorming session with the head of the Graduate Physics Department of The State University of New York, Buffalo, at the age of thirteen. By sixteen he was a lab assistant at the world's largest cancer research center, the Roswell Park Memorial Research Cancer Institute, where he helped plumb the mysteries of the immune system. And before his freshman year of college he designed and executed research in Skinnerian programmed learning at Rutgers University's Graduate School of Education. Then came an act of academic heresy. After graduating magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from New York University, Bloom turned down four graduate fellowships and embarked on a 20-year-long urban anthropology expedition to penetrate what he calls "society's myth-making machinery"--the inner sanctums of politics and the media. During his foray into "the dark underbelly of mass emotion" he edited a magazine which won two National Academy of Poets prizes, founded the leading avant-garde art studio on the East Coast, was featured on the cover of Art Direction Magazine, then gave up listening to Beethoven, Bartok, and Mozart to become editor of a rock magazine. Using correlational studies, focus groups, empirical surveys, ethnographic expeditions into suburban teen subcultures, and other scientific techniques, Bloom more than doubled the publication's sales, and was credited by Rolling Stones' Chet Flippo with having founded a new genre--the heavy metal magazine. Seeking still further ways to infiltrate modernity's mass mind, Bloom formed a public relations firm in the music and film industry and won the confidence of those whose territory he'd invaded. The payoff in knowledge proved invaluable. Bloom worked with Michael Jackson, Prince, John Cougar Mellencamp, Kiss, Queen, Bette Midler, Billy Joel, Joan Jett, Diana Ross, Simon & Garfunkel, The Talking Heads, AC/DC, Billy Idol, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Run D.M.C., Simply Red, and the heads of many a media conglomerate. He was adept at spotting new subcultures, entering them, and helping their members achieve their goals…a skill which gave him an inside role in the rise of rap, disco, and punk rock. The pinnacles of fame provided surprising scientific revelations. "When you're at the center of the sort of attention-storm which hits when you're working with a superstar," Bloom says, "it's as if the laws of physics change. Hormones charge you up in ways you never imagined. Time perception alters. You resolve crisis in minutes, seeing solutions instantly which previously would have taken you weeks. "More important is the impact of a communal ritual like a rock concert. The star onstage is taken over by a self he doesn't know, one that seems to surge through him as if he were a length of empty pipe. The force of this strange passion welds the audience in an almost transcendent bond." Bloom's task was to first experience the exaltation, then to dissect it. "The model for this work," he says, "came from William James, who attempted to feel the ecstatic ex
