Brad Hudson

Shaman

Hello! My name is Brad Little Frog and I am a Shamanic Practitioner. My compassionate helping spirits and I perform spiritual healing on people and animals, both locally and long distance. You don't have to be sitting next to me for my work to be effective. In fact, most of my work is remote work- I have clients all over the world. I work in non-ordinary reality with my helping spirits so we travel to your spirit no matter your location.

Shamanism, among other things, is an ancient spiritual healing technique used for tens of thousands of years by our ancestors around the globe. Essentially shamanic healing is the spiritual healing of a physical manifestation. Every physical or emotional problem has a spiritual component, and this spiritual aspect must be healed for complete physical healing to occur.

Every tribe or village had one or more shamans whose role was to provide for the wellness and safety of the tribe. The shaman was the intermediary between the spirit world and the physical world, and he kept the two worlds in balance. Part doctor, part medium, part meteorologist, part pharmacist, part diviner, the shaman performed many essential tasks for his tribe. While some of this information has been lost over the past few millenia, shamanic practitioners like myself keep the knowledge alive for everyone's benefit.

Rob Gutro

Pet Psychic, Paranormal Investigator and Author

In addition to being an author, I'm a scientist and I'm a member of Inspired Ghost Tracking paranormal group where I am a medium on the team. I've become known as a Pet Medium, although I connect with people and pets My books teach others how to recognize signs from people and pets who have passed. (Once you read them you won't need to pay a medium). I write books about my experiences and explain the paranormal in terms of energy.

I write these books to bring understanding and healing to people.

I have made the distinction between a Ghost and Spirit and why it's Important to know, and how they all use energies (physical and emotional) to convey messages. On investigations I sketch out what ghosts look like. I teach people how to protect themselves, why ghosts stay, what ghosts can do, what spirits can do, when spirits of our loved one visit us and all the signs to look for. I explain why ghosts are stuck in one place. I've run into ghosts in many places, including vacations.

One of my big focuses is on PETS. I had a dog that was tragically killed as a puppy and who became the world's best canine communicator. He opened the door for other dogs and cats to give messages for others that I've proven over and over. I give fundraising lectures at animal rescues, and do pet readings.

I've had this gift since I was a teenager, when my grandfather appeared to me 6 months after he passed.

Brandon Alvis

Paranormal Investigator, Filmmaker and TV Personality

Brandon Alvis has always had interests and questions about the paranormal after tragically losing two brothers, one to cancer and the other to suicide. Starting with a few friends using standard tools and procedures, he realized the many mistakes "commonly found" when investigating the paranormal. This motivated him to propagate a team specializing in many fields and to develop new methods not only reliable but convincing, introducing the "scientific approach" and naming this team: "American Paranormal Research Association" aka A.P.R.A. This new approach along with his leadership and entrepreneurial skills has propelled Brandon to become the paranormal technician of the “Ghost Hunters” team.

Brandon has investigated over 200 public and private locations with APRA, many of which bear historical significance. Investigations have included mental hospitals, prisons, well-known murder sites, cemeteries, and private homes, as well as more famous sites like Alcatraz Island, Preston Castle, and the South Pittsburgh Hospital. As a natural skeptic, Brandon researches every location meticulously before he begins collecting evidence in an effort to make the study of the paranormal as credible as possible.
