Authors and photographers of several books on New England ghosts, legends, and folklore, Thomas D'Agostino and Arlene Nicholson have done over 1000 investigations and bring to the world of the paranormal a vast array of knowledge and experience. Thomas is skilled in EVP work as well as analyzing situations and sites while using a more scientific approach along with a vast knowledge of history and folklore. Arlene is a professional photographer who, along with standard modern equipment, is also gifted at using dowsing rods, pendulum, and Tarot cards to communicate with the other side.
The use of Tarot cards opens a link of communication which helps to find more information on the spirits or energy. In this way, questions become more in tune with the personality and situation as opposed to ramdon inquiries. Countless investigators ask the energy or spirits to manipulate modern equipment. What if you are speaking to a Revolutionary War ghost who has no clue of such modern gadgets? All people through history are familiar with the cards, a simple timeless form of communication with a mystical link to the other side. While many investigators are only now going back to less equipment and simpler means of investigating, Arlene and Tom have been using this method since the start with amazingly accurate results.
Both Thomas and Arlene use their keen intuition and feelings while investigating, much like the old school investigators would have. This blend of scientific and esoterical approaches leaves no stone unturned in finding both, paranormal or rational explanations to occurrences.
Other core member and co-organizer, Kevin Fay has traveled the world seeking the paranormal. Kevin is well seasoned and well knowledged in the field of the paranormal. His experience and expertise in the field is a valuable addition to P.U.R.S. in any aspect regarding paranormal investigations and occurrences.
Ryan Chojnowski presently lives in his hometown of Pittsfield, Ma. Having a demonic experience at a very young age, Ryan had become very interested in what he had seen and wanted answers. Living in the heart of the Berkshires, Ryan has investigated some of the most haunted places in the area. Places such as Hoosac Tunnel, Eastover Resort, and October Mountain Cemetery. His enthusiasm and intellect are an asset to P.U.R.S.
P.U.R.S. also welcomes Rich and Ally Allarie to the organization. Both have proven to be very thorough in their investigative work and are an asset to the team.
