About Us

Rob has been interested in the paranormal from a very young age. He was raised in a very small town rich with history including a town square where trials and hanging happened that still stands today. Rob founded Monroe County Paranormal Investigations first and foremost to help people. He was in college when he had his first real paranormal experience, and it lingered with him. He questioned if it was real. Did it really happen? Did he see what he thought he saw? For years he pondered that night – how he could prove or disprove what he had seen. When the opportunity presented itself, he joined an already established group and worked with them for two years. He used his time there to learn and study. He was, after all, about to embark on a journey into a difficult field, and potentially help people who needed and requested it. He considers himself a believer with a healthy dose of skepticism as well. As he says, “I take this very seriously; we deal with people’s homes and families, so we need to have reverence.”

Brian is a case manager and has been with MCPI for over 10 years. While he is skeptical of the paranormal world, he keeps an open mind to many different theories and possibilities, and enjoys using his problem solving skills to find natural explanations and debunking reports of activity. He became interested in the paranormal at a young age and, as a result of the rise of television shows such as Ghost Hunters, he sought out a group in the area to join. Finding MCPI to be the most credible online presence, he reached out. He prides himself on his ability to communicate with clients and has their physical and emotional well-being first and foremost in his mind. 

Stacie is a Case Manager and has been with Monroe County Paranormal Investigations for over 15 years. When not investigating, she is a teacher and a mother of two. 

Melissa first became interested in the paranormal as a young girl, which stemmed from watching paranormal television shows, going on various ghost tours throughout the country, and personal experiences. As an adult, her intrigue grew after getting the opportunity to spend an evening investigating the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, OH, among other local investigations. She first met MCPI at the Rochester Brainery in June of 2017, and officially joined the group a short time later. Melissa is currently a Case Manager for MCPI, and enjoys helping new team members hone their investigative skills.

Adam first became interested in the paranormal when he was 10 years old. As he came into his mid-20’s, his interest in the paranormal field grew, especially the question of what happens to all of us when we pass on? He conducted his own research on the subject for years, which eventually led to him discovering MCPI. He has an affinity for all things technical and will often research and build his own equipment.

Jennifer has been interested in the paranormal since childhood, having numerous personal experiences. Over the years, her interest has only grown and ultimately led to her seeking out others with similar interests. She has now been involved in paranormal investigations for over 15 years at a variety of public and private locations.

My name is Dawn, I am new to this team but not new to the paranormal. From the time I was three I had the ability to see beloved family members who had crossed over as I got older I tried to turn it out now as a adult I have the ability to sense spirts and am working on fully embarrassing the ability. I have visited and been on many tours of many famous haunted locations. I am also a wife and mother to three girls, 2 teenagers and a pre-teen if that’s not scary enough. I look forward to helping families find some closure and understanding the spirt world.

I have been intrigued in the paranormal universe ever since I was 10 years old! I would watch ghost TV shows and see how things were explained and depicted with things that we cannot control in our world.  I always wanted to ghost hunt and capture evidence of things that are unexplainable, I would go out with buddies to ghost hunt certain areas but never had the right equipment/mindset going into it. But now investigating at the Union Tavern with MCPI and being a part of the team for a few months, I get to experience amazing things with equipment that I thought would never happen and have the correct mindset of investigating the paranormal, but also learn about the history of locations and places around NY! 

Some of Michael's earliest memories are of strange, paranormal events occurring to him and the people around him. In turn, those events generated a great number of questions for him to grapple with as he grew up. However, it wasn't until he joined a paranormal group as an adult that he discovered that he wasn't the only person this was happening to. Now, having moved up to Western NY with his family, he joins MCPI in an effort to both explain what was happening to him as well as help others going through similar events. The paranormal world is just as diverse as the world we can see, and much like the world of the living and seen, we can better learn about the other side through understanding and helping those who need it.
