Greg has had personal paranormal encounters since being a teen and has years of paranormal
investigative experience. He is well versed with haunting classifications, paranormal investigative
techniques and leadership through example. Greg has served as a technician and supervisor while
serving in the military and has further enhanced his education and abilities with legal issues while
serving over ten years in the legal field. With his background of legal issues, lobbying experience and
issue advocation, he hopes to apply these skills to the enactment and strengthening of "haunted
house" and "psychological impact" disclosure laws for prospective property owners, tenets and
lessees. Greg also has an extensive background in genealogical research and familiarization with
record research vital to the research of potential haunted properties.

Greg is one that shares the philosophy that paranormal investigations can come with many unknown
dangers which are not properly addressed by most of the paranormal research field. This and other
important issues are overlooked and need further advocation to current and future researchers and
investigators within this field. Greg adheres to a Humanistic Approach to investigations which always
places the client first above everything else.

Greg became part of MISSOURI PARANORMAL RESEARCH™ in August of 2005 serving as a co-
administrator, lead investigator and EVP specialist. While serving with MPR, Greg became an

"inhuman" haunting and possession. This Haunting was featured on the Discovery Channel's "A
Haunting" series as the Season 3 opener.  In October of 2006, Greg co-founded PARANORMAL TASK
FORCE
, a not for profit organization which promotes the awareness of paranormal research and  
historical preservation through a variety of methods.  MISSOURI PARANORMAL RESEARCH™ now
serves as its non-extreme investigative and research division while other divisions will be launched
making Paranormal Task Force™, Inc. a "One Stop" resource for all paranormal needs of clients, the
public and other organizations.

Greg has been a featured guest on various radio stations and as a speaker at paranormal events.  He

Margaret Shelton - Paravoyance Case Manager - Investigator

Email: margaret@paranormaltaskforce.com

Maggie (Margaret) comes to PTF with a wealth of paranormal experiences.  Living in Thailand during
her formative years taught her to sense and see into the spiritual world.  She also has been lucky
enough to have a family that allowed her to nurture her abilities.  Maggie is one of PTF’s Empathic
Sensitives.  Maggie feels that most people have the ability to empathize in a specific situational setting
(such as the death of a loved one or the joy of a new baby). However, she uses her ability to "tune in" on
feeling the emotional status of the living and the departed. Her abilities give her an enormous power to
experience the emotions that others seek to hide.  Maggie is the first one to tell you that she “may not
be getting it right” but will stick to the task at hand to make sure that our clients are safe and have the
answers that they have come to us for.  Even though she has these abilities, she is always looking for
the “reason” something happened.  Sometimes, there is a physical reason it happened.  She is just as
satisfied with that answer as she is with a paranormal answer.  

Maggie resides in Jefferson County, is married, and has two children.  She works in the Educational
field and her field choice is Special Education.  She has many hobbies.  She loves to spend time with
her friends, working in her yard, doing crafts, reading, cooking, traveling, and entertaining.
