Deborah Collard who is Cherokee by blood, enjoys reaching back into the past to connect her with the spiritual world. The way she celebrates this passion is through her studies of the paranormal. Deborah considers herself an 'oldie' in this venue, knowing that 30 years ago the only tools she used to investigate with were her flashlight and whomever she could drag along with her to see if she could find answers to the many questions that wandered through her mind. As technology progressed so did she and many years later has a very solid team of paranormal investigators. The Team is NAPS - Northeastern Alabama Paranormal Society based out of Guntersville, Alabama. NAPS was officially formed in 2003. Deborah teaches workshops, does lectures and panels on the paranormal. It is important to her that ghost hunters know just what they are doing and the proper way to do it.
Deborah has three published books to her credit. These books are:
"Haunted Southern Nights® Vol. 1, Ghost Hunting the Basics"
"Haunted Southern Nights® Vol. 2, The Haunted Backyard"
"Haunted Southern Nights®, Vol. 3, History and Haunting of the Mentone Area"

Shawn Sellers is the founder and director of Southern Paranormal Researchers, a group of researchers of paranormal phenomena, that currently resides in Montgomery, AL. He was raised rather unconventionally by his grandmother who started to teach him about the
spirit world at a young age. His grandmother was well-known locally for her abilities and she passed on her knowledge to him. In addition to his grandmother's influence, he was also brought up in the world of
Freemasonry. His grandfather and uncles were all active Masons in the community and helped to usher him into the work. He progressively went through DeMolay, Blue Lodge, York Rite, and finally was part of a Hillbilly unit at the local Shrine at 21. He is also the proud father of two boys. Along with some members of his team, he also handles cases in which people have been affected by dark entities and the cleansings thereof. He professes a deep faith in God and a unique knowledge of the spirit that allow him to handle cases usually only reserved for clergy. In addition to the things of a darker nature, Shawn can speak on topics ranging from modern UFO philosophy to tracking Bigfoot. He, along with members of SPR, generally do on their Blog Talk Radio Show that is on every Thursday night from 8:00 p.m. CST to 10:00 pm CST.
