THOMAS LISK
thomas@virginiaparanormal.net
 My interest in the paranormal started at a very
young age after having a few experiences with the
unexplained. My first "investigation" was at the age
of 17 of a house in San Diego. I really don't count
those days as being a true investigator but more
the inspiration for my interest in the paranormal.

I have been on roughly 80+ investigations from
California to Virginia. I have always had a
background in technology and use that in my
investigations. I like to run as much equipment as
possible and keep all gathered evidence in one
place for review. Review to me is one of the most
important areas of an investigation, without
evidence of a haunting you might as well be sitting
at the Haunted Mansion ride in Disneyland since
thats all your doing is having fun.

I have been in many groups which have all made
me stronger and have a clear idea of what I want in
a group. Virginia Paranormal is that clear idea. We
have a great group of people of all experience
levels and beliefs. VP.Net holds evidence review
and training in high regard and participates in many
experiments/events to bring as much understanding
and cohesiveness to the paranormal community.











TERRI VANDERLAAN
terri@virginiaparanormal.net
 Growing up in a haunted house opened me up to
the paranormal at a very young age.  It also gave
me the opportunity to experience many things that
most people will never understand including myself
which is why I now investigate paranormal claims.  

Since I have embarked on this paranormal seeking
journey I have had the opportunity to be included in
a book about such things.  You can find my intro for
the chapter about the Poor House Road Tunnel in
“Ghosthunting Virginia” by Michael Varhola.  

I have also had the privilege of participating in an
EVP study that contained almost 100 EVP captured
by several different paranormal groups from the
Ferry Plantation House (one of Virginia Beach’s
haunted jewels).  I am still awaiting the results from
that study but will pass them along as soon as I get
any updated information.

I guess if I really had to think about it I have been
pursuing the paranormal for as long as I can
remember.   This was not always by choice, but
rather, sometimes, out of necessity. I have often
wondered if we choose to be paranormal
investigators or if for some reason unknown to us
we are chosen. Could it be that some of us are lead
down a path that could only take us to one place?

WAYNE LINCOLN
wyane@virginiaparanormal.net
 I'm Wayne Lincoln and I'm a deputy sheriff with the
City of Norfolk. Just don't let my mom know. She
thinks I'm a piano player in a whore house.
Anyway...I grew up in Beaufort SC, the navy
transplanted me here where I met my wife and got
married 33 years ago. I have two sons. I did 20
years with the Navy, 12 years with VBPD (mostly
while I was in the navy) and have been in my
current position for 15 years. If not ghost hunting
or working I am either riding my motorcycle or
doing something else that is fun.I got into the
paranormal a few years back when I found out they
had groups and have been a part of 4 different
groups. Mike and I have been ghost hunting
partners for a while and have come across some
pretty interesting things
TOM BEAL
tom@virginiaparanormal.net
 Thomas Anthony Beal or Tom to everyone.  I was
born in Clifton Forge, Virginia 36 years ago, but
grew up and lived in Hampton Roads all my life.  
Graduate of First Colonial Highschool, TCC grad
(impressive, I know)and I currently live in Hampton,
VA and I work as a state vehicle inspector on Fort
Eustis.  The paranormal has been a life long
interest of mine.  Although my investigative
experience is limited to a few EVP's, a video or two
and an extremely chilling phonecall mostly
surrounding my oldest niece, whom I was a father
figure to.  As an agnostic, I feel I can be sensitive
to the scientific as well as the spiritual aspects of
the paranormal and afterlife, or just the
unexplained.  I hope to help people in the group,
the clients as well as those on the other side in the
process experience as much as I possibly can by
being part of Virginia Paranormal.

MIKE JOAO
mike@virginiaparanormal.net
 A little about myself, My name is Mike J I've been
in 3 different Paranormal groups past few years
and now dedicated to Virginia Paranormal to
further our understanding of Paranormal
phenomena. I've been in the field for most part of
the last 4 years and have always liked anything
alien or paranormal since a little kid and the 1980s
especially those teen Ouija board days and how
amazed how it really worked without touching that
piece that moved by itself that really drew me in to
the idea that we are not alone, which really enticed
my appetite to further my knowledge to this
science. I'm a serious investigator and believe in a
hard work ethnic and attention to detail, if we get
called upon to investigate a private residence I
always vow to produce the best paranormal
investigating, debunking techniques and use
every piece of knowledge I know into play to find
out answers for a client. We are proud and
professional and that's my commitment and vow to
Virginia paranormal.
INVESTIGATORS







CHAD GAGNON
chad@virginiaparanormal.net
 I'm Chad Gagnon, I ended up in the area through
the Navy as well. ;I currently work as a
Medic/Firefighter for the City of Hampton. Have
been with the city for a cumulative of 7 years with
a 2 year ciesta to Seattle from '05-'07 where I was
raised. ;Besides spending time doing
investigations of the paranormal, I also enjoy
spending time with my 9yo son. Although, I have
tended to stay pretty busy over the past year or
so finishing up school (for right now anyways). I'm
currently going to school again to get my
Paramedic two of the days I'm off of work.
Investigation wise, this is my second group,
currently with another still in it's early stages. ;I
have roughly ten investigations with many EVPs, a
couple photos, several personal experiences to
include the shadow people, and the awesome
feeling I get everytime I hear disembodied voices.








PAM SUINO
pam@virginiaparanormal.net
 My name is Pam. This is only the second
paranormal group I've been a part of, though I've
had a lot of paranormal things happen to me. Not
until I started watching some of the stuff on TV,
did it ever occur to me to go out and look for 'em!!
Needless to say, I have a strong curiosity about
the spirits who opt to remain here, if indeed the do
have an option, and I am very curious as to why
they stay.I am originally from Southern California. I
retired from the Army in 1998, after 24 years;
stayed here in VB because that just happened to
be where I was at retirement... California sure
wasn't calling me back! I am currently going to
Virginia Wesleyan College full-time, with a major in
Communications/Journalism. Good Lord willing
and the crick don't rise, I should graduate (finally)
in May 2010...not too far off, but far enough! I
also play percussion with Symphonicity, The
Symphonic Orchestra of Virginia Beach; that ties
up some of my time too.







AIMEE
aimee@virginiaparanormal.net
 I’ve always been interested in the paranormal, so
joining the group has been extremely gratifying. I
find it thrilling when you can substantiate in reality
what you read and see in media---books and
movies---and that feeling begins with
investigations and continues when you review
material later and discover confirmation of what
you’re looking for. Equally satisfying is to be
surrounded by folks with a similar fascination with
the paranormal, and everyone in this group is
phenomenal. Some miscellaneous background
info about myself----I love to read, write, and
paint. I work full-time and go to school as well. I’ve
lived in the Hampton Roads area for about 16
years, but originate from Florida. Still miss it
(beautiful environment), but Virginia has its charm
as well.







BRITTNEY PAVLUS
britt@virginiaparanormal.net
 Brittiney Pavlus, I grew up in Virginia Beach and
was raised by my Grandmother and my Uncle
Tom, who is also one of the investigators! I
attended Ocean Lakes High School for one year
before moving to North Carolina, where I
completed my high school diploma. I married and
moved to Rhode Island in 2008, where I attended
Cosmetology school and had my first child, Bryce.
We have recently returned to Virginia Beach,
where Tom introduced me to the group! Tom and
I have always been very interested in the
unknown.  Growing up I can recall many "ghostly"
encounters, one of which I was actually pushed!
I've always been somewhat sensitive in detecting
"energy", whither that be a high energy given off
by something electrical, or something paranormal.
I feel my sensitivity to energy will help me to
understand and detect the unknown. I am very
interested in this field and can't wait to bring
people the answers they are searching for!











BRIANA
briana@virginiaparanormal.net
 Hi! My name is Briana. I have been in Virginia
Beach since 2005. I’m originally from Mobile, AL.  
Prior to living in Virginia, I lived in Texas where I
have the majority of my paranormal investigation
experience. I’ve never been with an established
group until Virginia Paranormal; however I have
been on many renegade investigations. I was
raised in a spiritually open household. I lived in a
house for a short time that was active. Since then,
I have always wanted to know if it was the
byproduct of a child’s imagination or something
else.  I specialize in historical research and love
learning about investigation locations. I believe
that an essential part of making contact is being
aware of what energy existed there before. I’m
kind of a thrill seeker and enjoy the fear that
comes naturally with experiencing the unknown.  I
enjoy reviewing evidence and have an extensive
attention span. In the real world, I work for a retail
pharmacy. I just obtained my Associates in
Business and am pursuing other career paths. I’m
a practicing Buddhist and have one young son. I
am also expecting my second child within the next
few months. I also love going to karaoke and
making a fool out of myself.








HEATHER CHIRDON
heather@virginiaparanormal.net
 Hello, I am Heather Chirdon, originally from
western Pennsylvania, an area rich in history and
paranormal.  My interest in the paranormal began
in my college years and has continued into my
adult life.  I moved to Virginia Beach 5 years ago
to live at the beach and escape the snowy
northeast winters. When I am not investigating I
enjoy sports and watching my Pittsburgh Steelers
& Penguins win championships.  It is great to be a
fan of the “City of Champions”.  Also I enjoy
spending time with my multiple pets including a
Labrador retriever, a fox terrier, 2 cats, 1 bearded
dragon, and a python.  What I like to lovingly refer
to as “my own personal petting zoo”.
I joined VirginaiParanormal.net  to further
investigate and expand my knowledge base of the
paranormal in hopes to have a better
understanding and assist others in need.
