Karen Shillings Founder & Director karen@casprquest.com I'm a single mother of two and an entrepreneur.   My love for photography and a life long interest in the paranormal led me to form one of the first ghost hunting groups in the South, and the first in Arkansas.  CASPR was created to bring together others who had a similar interest in unexplained or ghostly phenomena. After years of searching for just the right team of investigators, I've finally found them!  These women are truly dedicated to this field, and are willing to put in the time, effort and money required to be a true paranormal researcher.  Combining our women's intuition, sensitivity, talents, equipment and passion for paranormal research has been a tremendous success with many outstanding investigations and uncanny experiences as a result.  To read more about my history and ghostly encounters, click HERE.

Cathy May Assistant Director cathy@casprquest.com I work as a product data specialist by day and by night I'm lurking about in dark locations to pursue concrete evidence of the paranormal. I'm married to a wonderful man who is a professor and we have three grown children.  Since my youth I've had a very keen interest in everything to do with the paranormal. I have a open and inquisitive mind going into an investigation and use a little bit of humor during what might be an otherwise tense situation.  Spending copious amounts time researching archives and records, reviewing hours of video, audio and photographs may not be for everyone, but when it is all said and done, every single second is well worth it...this is my passion!! I am thrilled to be part of this professional, all female research team and love networking to gain insight into new and unique ways to collect evidence. I will continue to be dedicated to the scientific research and collection of undeniable evidence that the paranormal does indeed exist!

Valerie Satterfield North Central Regional Director valerie@casprquest.com I'm the president and co-owner of a construction company with my husband. All of my life, anything ' scary' has intrigued me. I guess I have always known that there is more here than meets the eye.  In recent years the unseen world known as paranormal has become somewhat mainstream. With more people 'coming out' with their supernatural experiences, and with modern technology some of these events have been documented. I am fascinated by the solid evidence that now exists on our paranormal investigations. CASPR is a wonderful organization and it has been and will continue to be an amazing experience on my journey into the unknown.

Loria Alven Investigator loria@casprquest.com Working as a Delivery Process Architect for a major data management company and raising 3 children sometimes makes it difficult to attend  investigations, but I do find all things paranormal fascinating.  To be able to combine my interest in that as well as spending time with the ‘women of CASPR’ has led to some of the best adventures of my life! I’ve gained new appreciation and respect for the dedication and devotion the people of this organization put forth in their research. With great anticipation I look forward to my future endeavors with CASPR and the unknown.

Mary Jean Brown Investigator  maryjean@casprquest.com I'm single, 24, and am working currently in an office for a construction company.  My interest in the paranormal has developed greatly over the past few years by watching interesting and informative television programs involving unexplained and ghostly activity in haunted locations. I spent a lot of time learning what I could about ghost hunting on the Internet before deciding to join CASPR and participate in it myself. I've only been on a few investigations as of now, but have already had some thrilling experiences.  This group has taught me so much at our meetings and investigations and I'm very proud to be a part of this organization.   I'm not just a thrill seeker though, I do love the scientific aspect of ghost hunting and documenting unexplained phenomenon.
