Manage episode 343703440 series 3359434
Nelson Nauss's first exposure to the paranormal came at a very young age in his childhood home, and it forever changed how he viewed the world around him. It wasn't until 2007 that his avid interest saw him join two other paranormal groups to seek answers. In 2016, Nelson met Kelly McConkey, and together they founded The Ghost Guild.
Al Parker has created several Ghost, Legends, and Lore tours and enjoys digging into research.
Kara Leinfelder's interest in the paranormal started at the young age of 3 after a particularly lucid sleep paralysis episode. Her family was deeply entrenched in Southern history. She then spent most of her childhood traipsing around historic sites and homes, often experiencing the sensation that she was not alone.
