Jim Smith

As co-founder of PSF Jim’s interest in the paranormal began after having his own experience that he attributed to his late Grandmother who liked to play tricks even after her passing.  As a paranormal investigator he enjoys unraveling the history and linking the past to the present of the locations he investigates. When he’s not out at a location or working full-time you will find him hunting down his second favorite pastime, Trains. Unless of course it is Halloween and he’s decorating his home or spending time with his family.

Donna Smith

Donna, Jim’s wife, grew up in a very old farmhouse where Her bedroom had an attic door in it, so you can imagine the uneasy sounds that was heard at all hours of the night with no explanation. Although, Donna didn’t want anything to do with ghosts or spirits, Jim had changed her mind by watching ghost hunting shows on TV. Then it became a challenge to find scientific evidence behind paranormal experiences as opposed to “ghost stories.” She is a graduate of Kutztown University and works full-time as a retail manager. Her loves are her husband and son, meeting her favorite authors,  quilting and crafting.

Nolan Fry

Co-founding member, Nolan has always been curious about all things strange, from UFOs and Bigfoot, to ghosts. What made him look further into the paranormal was after his grandfather passed, Nolan would smell cigarette smoke in his house even though no one in the house smoked. However, his grandfather did. A week later, a psychic had told Nolan’s wife that his grandfather wanted to tell him that he was in a happy place. Nolan enjoys playing baseball and was a pitcher for the Allentown Ambassadors. His loves are his wife and daughter, hunting, fishing, pyrotechnics displays  and spending time with family and friends.
