PRESTEN - INVESTIGATOR

Hi, my name is Presten, I have been interested in the paranormal ever since high school. I grew up watching paranormal shows, but I never could watch it by myself. The reason was because I would get these images in my head at night that I could not explain which kept me up at night. Within recent years I was able to accept these images and scenes. I know there are messages there but still trying to master what the information is.

Outside of the paranormal interest I have found myself in love with poems, numbers, and soccer. When I was in high school, I published my first poem and continued to write as I ran across inspiration.

SAM - INVESTIGATOR

Hello! My name is Sam and I am excited and honored to be a member of Fox Valley Ghost Hunters! I have held a deep interest in the paranormal since I had my first experience when I was 12 years old. Since then, I’ve been seeking out answers and learning as much as I can about spirits and other aspects of the paranormal.

I went on my first investigation in Gettysburg, PA in 2021 and have continually looked for more and more opportunities to investigate and experience the paranormal.

In May 2022, I discovered Fox Valley Ghost Hunters and the Sheboygan Asylum and have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to get to know and join the team. Outside of investigating, I’m a special education teacher. I enjoy painting, baking, playing guitar, and spending time with friends and family. I’m very passionate about history and spend lots of time reading and researching about any and all American history topics, especially the Revolutionary War.

BRIANA - INVESTIGATOR

Hello! My name is Briana. The paranormal world has always intrigued me, and I’m very excited to be a part of the team. I am a big believer that there is a life after this one, and have had my own experiences in my life with the paranormal. I knew I wanted to find answers to things that couldn’t be explained. After finding out about the Sheboygan Asylum, I really started getting into investigating and discovering new places.

I love interacting with whoever is residing wherever I visit. I never thought I would be going to these historical places and having such amazing, intelligent experiences. Outside of investigating, I love going to concerts and festivals, playing video games, and spending time with my family

HOPE - INVESTIGATOR

Hey everyone!! I’m Hope and have had paranormal experiences from a very young age. My first experience I remember was a ghostly figure standing in my bedroom doorway, as a child, I was terrified. These continued on into my adult life, but I didn’t really delve deeper until I did a tour with Fox Valley to the Sheboygan Asylum.

I saw Craig was looking for volunteers and I signed up to give tours! Since then, I have investigated many places such as Ashmore Estates and the Berlin Tannery, to name a few. I was offered to become a team member with Fox Valley and proudly accepted!

MELISSA CLEVENGER

Hello, my name is Melissa, and I am Co-Owner of Haunted Midwest Ghost Tours. I am the co-author along with Craig of “Archives of A Ghost Hunter II,” and co-author of our new book coming out in May of 2021. I have been on numerous podcasts throughout the United States and UK, such as The Midnight Society, The Ghost Host with Sophia Temperilli, and Hillbilly Horror Stories, just to name a few. In June of 2020, I appeared on Destination Fear on the Travel Channel featuring the Sheboygan Insane Asylum.

I have had paranormal experiences since I was little, and throughout my entire life. Growing up I always saw and heard spirits and continue to have activity everywhere I live. It is a part of my life and a part of who I
am. I am interested in all things paranormal. I have traveled to countless notorious haunted locations
checking off my bucket list. Delving into the history of the locations that I investigate intrigues me.

Through the years my ability to see ghosts has faded, but my passion to communicate continues. I am honored to be a part of such an amazing team, and I look forward to all of our future investigations.

TIMOTHY - INVESTIGATOR

Hello everyone! My name is Tim.

Even before I started watching all the paranormal shows, I have been intrigued by it! From the feeling of being watched to that sound you can’t explain. This lead me to my first overnights exploration, with my wife and son in 2023 at Randolph County Asylum in Indiana. After catching some clear Evps, I have wanted to do more investigating to try to get answers to what we all seek.

I am very excited for this opportunity with the Fox Valley Ghost Hunters. I look forward to working with my fellow investigators and find to more locations to get more answers and evidence.

KERA - INVESTIGATOR

Hi everyone! I’m Kera. When I was a little girl, I would always see and hear things that weren’t there. Primarily at my Grandma’s house. I felt scared to go into certain rooms there but never knew why. As I grew up, I started to understand the things I was seeing and feeling were paranormal. Ever since then, I have been fascinated by the unexplained. I even dreamt of going to school for Paranormal Studies. That dream did not come true and I ended up in a much different field.

I continued to be interested in all things paranormal and I was even able to tour some haunted locations like Ashmore Estates and Bobby Mackey’s. But it wasn’t until I saw an ad on Facebook for the Sheboygan County Asylum that I was able to truly dive into investigating. After that, I knew I wanted to do more. Having this opportunity to be a part of the FVGH is like a childhood dream come true and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

AJ - INVESTIGATOR

Hello. My name is AJ. After having several paranormal experiences growing up, it drew me into the world of investigating. I had some of my best experiences at the Sheboygan Asylum, and that’s how I was introduced to Fox Valley Ghost Hunters. I can’t wait to travel to exciting new places and make new friends.

Investigating has quickly become my new hobby. I look forward to many more experiences to come. Outside of the paranormal, I like to go see my favorite bands, traveling to new places, and having fun with my family and friends. I’m very grateful to be a part of this team, especially with my partner Briana, and I’m looking forward to the future.

Emma- INVESTIGATOR

Hi, my name is Emma! My interest in the paranormal began in my childhood home, where I had some odd experiences that sparked my curiosity. I quickly became captivated by paranormal shows, diving deeper into the unknown.

In 2023, I took the plunge into investigations, exploring locations like the Sheboygan County Asylum and Indiana State Sanatorium. I’m honored to work alongside the other investigators at Fox Valley Paranormal and can’t wait to uncover more mysteries and evidence in our future explorations!

AMY - INVESTIGATOR

My name is Amy. I have always been interested in the paranormal and began having experiences in college. My first experience had me so scared, I slept hiding under the covers. Over time, my interest grew as more paranormal shows came on TV and my own experiences continued. The past few years, I have been exploring and learning more about the paranormal and investigating.

I was excited when I had the chance to volunteer with tours at the Sheboygan Asylum. That experience and opportunity helped me explore the paranormal and grow as an investigator. I am excited and grateful to continue to learn and help others with their experiences as a team member of Fox Valley Ghost Hunters.
