ANN BENDER

Ann was raised in Michigan on her family's farm. Her first memories are not of horses and flowers, but of the spirits and past events in the family home. Unfortunately, it terrified her parents when she spoke of people, events, and places she had never seen.

She spent her early adulthood using her abilities while working as a paramedic and radiology technologist. When living in Washington, her nearby neighbor was a serial killer. Every time he killed, she dreamed through his victims eyes of his victim's last moments. This drove her to better understand how she could help others and not just sit as a bystander.

In 2003 she moved to California and met her husband, Dave Bender. She became a dowser while working with Dave. For families with delicate questions, the dowsing rods can answer without a word being spoken


DAVID BENDER

Dave was born in Long Island, New York.  At age 8, his family returned to their roots in Montana and the Rocky Boy Indian Tribe.  Under his uncle Dan (a Chippewa-Cree), he was mentored as a medicine man.  He grew up learning his tribe's stories of spirits and how to help others.  After relocating to California he carried on his family's tradition of healing by founding his first paranormal team, API.

Dave enjoys working in the film industry in his spare time.  He writes screenplays and studies gemstones.  He works with children during the day as a Service Coordinator.

He met his wife, Ann, in 2003 and they both enjoy a beautiful daughter.  Dave can not offer his Native American blessing unless asked.  He cannot charge for this service, but can accept supplies as a sign of appreciation.


BRIAN CLUNE

Brian Clune has been an avid paranormal enthusiast for most of his life, but he did not get involved with investigating until his son asked if they could go, “Ghost Hunting.” This brought him to Planet Paranormal, where his life would forever change.

     Investigating became a passion and the more he learned about what was involved, the more he realized that history was the key to effective paranormal discovery. His dedication to learning the past has compelled him to become the Historian for Planet Paranormal.

      Some of Planet Paranormal’s discoveries guided him towards being involved with a number of television shows including My Ghost Story, The Dead Files, Ghost Hunters, and Ghost Adventures. Brian was also the focus of a companion documentary for the film Paranormal Asylum by Meridien Films.

     Brian has appeared on many radio programs as well as giving lectures at top paranormal conventions and has spoken at several colleges both in lecture and teaching capacities. He has also been conducting his own radio show with Peter Haviland called The Full Spectrum Project, where they host every Thursday evening from 8pm to 10pm est.

HEATHER LYNN

At a young age, I had a lot of health issues at one point, which became deadly. As a teenager, I was going through things my peers were not. It was hard to deal with until I met a friend that would listen. Slowly but surely, it manifested into something I'm able to help people with daily. Some of the more memorable one's was a woman who was trying to reach her dead husband. I did not speak the langu, but he was able to show me pictures. I was able to repeat what he was trying to convey. He called her his flower i repeated , his and she started crying. This was how he comforted her. She felt he came for her in her time of need. Another memorable client was not the client but her husband he told me she was missing and wanted me to find her. I gave him all the scenery i could see she was seeing. I have never been to New York, so I could only say what I could see a hospital and a church nearby. He found her and was grateful. The spiritual realm never ceases to amaze me at just how vast it can be. There are many different ways to help others, and that's the nice thing.


BARRY CONRAD

Barry Conrad: film-maker and ghost-hunter extraordinaire. Few men have ventured where he has ventured, and even fewer have come back with any supporting evidence. Mainly known for the TV shows, “California's Most Haunted (2003)”, “Monsters of the UFO (2005),” and, “Valentino's Ghost (2012),” Barry commenced his broadcast career with Nick Clooney (George Clooney's father) in Ohio back in the Seventies. His credits span countless titles as cameraman, director-of-photography, and producer, including several feature documentaries under the banner of his own BARCON VIDEO PRODUCTIONS.

San Pedro Haunting: surely one of his most well-known paranormal cases to date, Barry has also written a book about said haunting, under the title of, “An Unknown Encounter: A True Account Of The San Pedro Haunting.” This popular case focuses on the haunting of Jackie Hernandez, which began during the Summer of 1989, in a peaceful neighbourhood of San Pedro, California. A single mother-of-two, Jackie was a hard-working lady trying to make ends meet; the poltergeist activity was certainly the last thing she needed. It commenced when she first saw a vision of a ghoulish old man, sitting in her children’s bedroom on one of their beds. The paranormal activity that ensued after this was unimaginable, often going beyond mere poltergeist activity and resulting in actual physical harm. On certain occasions, there would be unidentified puss-like liquid oozing from the walls and ceilings; other times, Jackie reported violently vivid dreams, often finding herself being beaten to death in San Pedro Harbor; during one particular incident, an unseen force even held her down to the floor for several minutes, almost smothering her. The oozing liquid, quite amazingly, was captured on camera by Barry Conrad, during his time filming and investigating the household. The team managed to capture samples of the liquid, and had these sent off to a lab for further investigating. The results left them all speechless: according to the lab, the oozing liquid was, in fact, human blood plasma. As for the violent dreams, there’s a whole other story related to that, involving the dead body of a man found in San Pedro Harbor.
