The West Virginia Paranormal Society is comprised of highly motivated individuals with backgrounds in a variety of disciplines. We believe that this diversity allows us to examine evidence in a broad, yet objective, manor.

Dave Bieniek Hi everyone, my name is Dave Bieniek. I am the current Director of the West Virginia Paranormal Society. I have been in this position for a little over five years now, and I think I've done some pretty great things for the group. I am engaged to the most wonderful girl in the world, Becky. We live together, with her three beautiful children. We are getting married in April of 2011. When I'm not out looking for life after death, I'm working as an IT Hardware Technician. Additionally, I am a Nationally Registered EMT-Intermediate/99, West Virginia Stated Certified Forensic Investigator, an associate member of the National Association of Medical Examiners, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences.

Mark Blazier Hello my name is Mark Blazier. I am the actual founder of the group, but stepped down in 2005 when I turned over the reigns to Dave. Dave is an excellent investigator and an even better friend. As anyone who personally knows him can attest, he's the real deal. I am a 22 year old guy who is happily married to a beautiful woman. We have three perfect children whom I love with ALL of my heart! There names are Kenneth, Kory and Katie. They are my pride and joy and the reason I get up in the morning! Love you guys... As you guys on here know, I'm a big time hockey fan. I played for a couple years, but had to quit after a head injury. Enjoy the site! Contact: mblazier@wvparanormalsociety.com

Rebecca Bailey My name is Rebecca and Im 18 years old. Im going to college this fall and can really say that Im looking forward to this! I became interested in ghosts and the paranormal after seeing the ghost of my dog (of all things to see). I guess you could say I am on a "quest" to figure out if I really saw what I think I saw I really love the way this group handles their cases. Instead of jumping to the assumption that everything is a ghost/spirit/demon they look at all of the evidence. Very refreshing!! Contact: rbailey@wvparanormalsociety.com
