       Paranormal Investigator Kathy Condor, our June speaker, comes to us from Michigan Paranormal Encounters, a group that conducts its investigative activities based on a philosophy of integrity and objectivity in the study of the paranormal. Trained investigators located in Michigan work with clients throughout the Midwest. Investigators in the group bring their own special talents and experiences to every case. Many years of experience and study of the paranormal has provided members with the rich background needed in this field of study. For an advance peek, visit the Michigan Paranormal Encounters website, www.michiganparanormalencounters.com.

      Kathy Condor has been connected to and interested in the paranormal for as long as she can remember. As a Science major in college, she felt there must be a way to study and document paranormal phenomena under controlled conditions. She feels her involvement in paranormal investigation is doing just that. She relies on psychic impressions to lead her in the right direction. She believes in the importance of keeping an open mind while maintaining a healthy skepticism. Kathy has taught many classes about her field of interest and continues to share her knowledge and experience in various speaking engagements.
