THE OZARKS PARANORMAL SOCIETY

I am Dave Harkins, founder and Director of The Ozarks Paranormal Society (T.O.P.S). I have been active in paranormal research for all of my adult life. I have had many different paranormal experiences since childhood and have been actively seeking answers since my early teens. My Grandmother who was a Registered Cherokee Indian was very active in different spiritualist churches in our area, so I was exposed to many occult practices from a very early age. By the age of eight she was teaching me how to read the Tarot and how to do Psychometry. Anything to do with Metaphysics was very fascinating to me which really disturbed my parents to say the least. I soon began ready anything to do with the occult that I could get my hands on including works by Aleister Crowley, Madam Blavatsky, Hans Holtzer and Anton LeVey to mention just a few.

In 1980, some friends and myself started a Metaphysical Occult bookstore in Fresno California, which is still in business today. Through association with the store I encountered many people who were touched by paranormal events in their lives who felt that they had nowhere else to turn. Looking back now there were no paranormal TV programs and the church would have seen them as being crazy it now makes sense to me why they sought us out for help. Through my interest in the occult and the paranormal as well as meeting these people it was only natural for me to investigate many of their claims. So my journey into paranormal investigation began. Since moving to Missouri in 1985 I have investigated many paranormal places and happenings in and around the Ozarks. Several years back I met others in the area that had the same interests in the paranormal as myself. So, in 1997 we started a group called Ozark Mountains Ghost Hunters which was around for many years, but with many of the group moving away I was back to the solo thing for several years. In 2006 after meeting more folks in the area with a strong lure to the paranormal field The Ozarks Paranormal Society (T.O.P.S) was founded.

We have investigated dozens of places over the years, mostly private residences and businesses as well as many more and lesser known historical locations. At the present we are very focused on investigating American Civil War locations here in Missouri and Arkansas and Mississippi.

Most recently we were asked back in August by management of the 1886 Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs Arkansas to come in and preform an official overnight investigation of the property including the infamous morgue in the basement of the hotel where TAPS caught the apparition of the soldier in front of the locker with the number two on it. We had a very interesting investigation of the property to say the least and have lots of evidence to back up many of our experiences at the location. We are planning another investigation of the hotel to focus on some of the areas that we found to be more active.

Back in August of 2011 we were the first team of paranormal researchers to be allowed into Wilson’s Creek Nation Battlefield near Springfield Missouri for an overnight investigation of the battlefield including full access to the Ray House which was used during the battle as a field hospital by both the Union and the Confederate Armies. We were accompanied by an armed ranger who was nice enough to take us into parts of the park that are off limits to the general public.

In October of 2011 we were once again granted access to Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield for an overnighter, but this time we were accompanied by a production team from the Travel Channel to film for their upcoming show “Legends Of The Ozarks” Which aired January 21^st 2012 and is still being shown regularly on the Travel Channel, most recently as last Friday.

Next month myself and fellow T.O.P.S Team Member, Author Bud Steed and I will be travelling to Mississippi to take part in the Delta Paranormal Project’s fundraiser for MS and St. Jude’s sponsored by SPARS and Truth Seekers Paranormal. Bud will be speaking about his two books and some of the other speakers include Patrick Burns, Marley Harbuck Gibson and Keith Age. We will be participating in investigations of different local locations.

Practical Paranormal Presents: Core Phenomena Research 9-9-12

Join me and my 2nd guest CORE PHENOMENA RESEARCH on September 9th 2012 ZTALKRADIO.COM from 10-11 EST.

ZTALKRADIO SUNDAY NIGHTS 9-11 EST

Core Phenomena Research 
from left to right, Liza, Josh, Lani, Bri, Margi, and John

We are a paranormal and supernatural research team located in eastern Pennsylvania, but not limited to that region. Our mission is to assist the owners of private residences and businesses, when requested. Research and data collection are accomplished with modern technological methods. We will present any and all findings to the client in a timely manner. We do not promise to "get rid" of anything, we only attempt to prove that something is present. Utilizing our diverse talents within the team, we then try to assist in attacking the problem at hand. We have done this successfully for 2 decades now operating within different teams across the state and independently. EVERYTHING IS DONE IN A CONFIDENTIAL MANNER.

By conducting our research, we are also trying to prove that we are more than just our "bodies", and that consciousness does transcend death. We understand what it feels like to deal with such things as we've been on the receiving end.

We perform many open public para-tainment venues, especially during the haunting season of August 1st to November 1st, but our main goal is assistance of people and families that need help due to issues beyond their scope of understanding. This is why we like to say that CPR is the "paranormal research team with a heart."

Our members are as diverse as our methods, and all come from different backgrounds. One of the things that set us apart are the combination of science and spirituality. Mainstream science doesn't see this as a necessity, though realistically you can't divorce the two and still come up with complete results. Science is a part of what we label "spirituality", and spirituality has a base in what we call "science." It's all one and the same.

Our name is a bit strange, but is an acronym. C.O.R.E. stands for Coalition Offering Research Ethics". With us, what you see is what you get. No data manipulation and no sensationalism. If we, as researchers, don't push forth the idea of realism within something that's already viewed as a pseudo-science, we'll never start to be taken seriously by mainstream science!

CPR is currently in the process of filming a DVD to be released in 2013 of the research of Skytop Lodge in Canadensis, PA. Skytop is notoriously haunted, and CPR is doing Hallowe'en weekend tours there during Skytop's Spoo-tacular for the 4th year in a row. We are proud to be affiliated with such a lodge and all it's grandeur and beauty! The theme for the DVD was custom-created for us by the incredible gypsy-punk band "This Way to the Egress" online at http://www.thiswaytotheegress.com

John - Case Manager and on-field team leader. Brought up Christian, but a converted wiccan/pagan. Just coming to terms and starting to understand his gift of clairaudience and how it is able to be utilized on cases. John, with the assistance of the team, is currently compiling a book tentatively titled "Haunts of Eastern PA".

Liza - Videographer, historical researcher, founding member, and documentarian. Brought up agnostic, but converted to shamanic wiccan. Liza, alongside of John, have been researching the paranormal together for over 20 years in one aspect or another. They also put out a bi-weekly wiccan faith podcast called "What's With Witches Podcast" available on iTunes and hosted on Podomatic.

Josh - CPR's audio recording and review specialist. Brought up Jewish but now is simply self-termed "open-minded". Josh is also a musician, which gives him the edge with his audio knowledge and program association for his assumed team assignment.

Margi - New age specialist, (works and assists in running a shop in the Poconos called "Planet Earth Gallery", which is a new age shop.) Margi was brough up jewish, but is now open-minded, not unlike her son Josh. Being our beloved team senior, Margi was a child of the 1960's and a flower child.

Brianna - Brought up catholic, and having been through haunting issues of her own, Bri is our team empath. She has had previous experience with another research team as their official "blogger", and has been researching the paranormal for most of her life having such an intimate association to it.

Lani - Lani was brought up protestant, but is open-minded to all we do within the team. Lani works mostly with the IR cam, and review. He and Bri are a couple, and have been through issues in their own home that give them insight to helping others with situations of the same nature.
