Gary King:In 1997, while ill health caused him to take time out from work as a legal executive, Gary encountered his first Crop Circle. He was so deeply affected by this experience that he has devoted himself to researching the phenomenon ever since. An abiding interest in human consciousness prompted him to study the cultural use of psychedelic plants, and the evidence that such use enables contact with creative intelligences. Already a practicing Martial Artist, Gary pursues the more esoteric, internal styles and philosophies of the art. Returning to University in 2005, Gary studied Language and Communication with a particular emphasis on the science of semiotics. His particular interest is the way we, as humans, strive to derive meaning from signs and symbols. One of the three witnesses to the 07/07/07 East Field event, today Gary is a much sought after tour guide and lecturer.

Join Mark and guest author Beth Brown as they talk about The haunted south in America. Beth has written several books on the subject including Haunted Plantations of Virginia.

Photographs and audio recordings made that day ignited her curiosity about life after death and set the wheels in motion for two decades of research. In 2007, Beth Brown founded the Virginia Society of Paranormal Education and Research (VASPER). The mission of the organization is to aid those interested in beginning their own research of the paranormal by providing training, equipment grants, and other resources. Beth heads the VASPER Investigation Team, a group of experienced field researchers with varying specialties, and has led the team on several studies of National and Virginia landmarks. The VASPER Investigation Team conducted the first official paranormal research experiments at Berkeley Plantation, Monumental Church, the Edgar Allen Poe Museum, and many others. Beth is an author, radio personality, and producer of short documentaries. She has been a speaker at numerous paranormal events and is known for the edgy, “rock and roll” approach she lends to workshops.
