Windy City Paranormal

Vinny, Founder - Investigator

My name is Vinny. I was born and raised in Western Pa. Then moved around a bit till I ended up in Chicago. I've been here for over 10years and love it. I'm a huge Chicago Bears fan; Living for each game day win and being sick over each loss.

I started Windy City Paranormal (WCP for short) with one goal in mind and that is to help people. WCP strives to be upfront and friendly to our clients as well as ourselves and by ourselves that not only means the Team but the paranormal community as well. Our services are FREE and DISCREET.

Having access to state of the art technology he is able to utilize this in the paranormal field to dig deeper into audio and video files to debunk activity or provide hard evidence of paranormal activity.

Ed - Tech team - Investigator

After a series of experiences in 1981, I have spent years not only understanding what happened to me but also trying to help others understand what happens to them in similar situations. I bring 27 years of investigative experience and a strong technical and scientific background.

Greg - Investigator

I am a family man. A carpenter by trade, and live in the suburbs with 2 kids and several pets. As with most of us, my interest in all things paranormal began with the desire to have answered the questions that have puzzled mankind since the beginning of time. Are we alone in the universe? What happens to us when we die? We all love a good story of mythical legends or accounts of ghostly activity. We have made great strides in technology to detect and record paranormal activity. With that, comes better theory on what is paranormal. It's an exciting time to be a part of this field. I want to help people get to the truth, whatever it might be. By investigating and understanding the paranormal in a professional way, we can learn to deal with it in our day to day lives.

Julie - Investigator

Hi everyone!!! My name is Julie! I was born and raised in the Chicagoland area and reside in the far NW suburbs today. I have a B.S. in Business Mngmt with a minor in Psychology from Northeastern IL University. I am an avid "ghost hunter" and ever since I was a little girl, I have always been drawn to the paranormal. I am insurance agent/investigator by trade which overlaps my need for scientific explanations and to try and debunk the unknown. I do believe that every living being has an energy that does not dissipate when someone passes on. Good or malevolent, it must go somewhere! I am on a mission to find out how and where! I have had my own personal experiences with the unknown and feel I am more connected to the spirit world than ever since my heart attack 5 years ago. I am constantly searching for answers and by doing so, hope to further paranormal science into the mainstream and help a lot of wonderful people along the way. Our group is a family and we are dedicated to the service of others and the revelation of the truth!!

Robert - Investigator

Hi, My name is Robert and I was never a believer in the paranormal growing up! My sister has always been "sensative" and I as a child used to tease her about. Well- that was until I had an expierence that changed my life and prompted me to research it more. As the saying goes " you are a sceptic until you have an expierence"! I have always had an analytical mind and needed proof of everything to believe it as fact. If there's any doubt - throw it out!!!!!!! Since I have become a member of WCP I have met other wonderful people that have the same outlook. I have also had the opportunity to become a part of investigations that reinforce my quest for proof of what I formerly had not held any credence! This is a great group of people whom I trust implicitly. I am a licensed Insurance Agent in all lines of insurance and a Communications Broker here in Illinois and numerous other states as well. I own and operate a body piercing studio in the Chicagoland area as a Licensed Body Piercer. I play guitar and have an extensive collection. I enjoy traveling and Negril Jamaica is a regular vacation spot for me, it is beautiful and relaxing. I really love working with people and helping them in any way possible.

Marv - Investigator

Hello, my name is Mario Rios but everyone calls me Marv. I was born and raised in La Salle-Peru Illinois and just recently moved to the Chicagoland area. I am 24 years young and just settling into my career. I'm a huge sports fan and absolutely love the Bears, Cubs, Blackhawks, Bulls, and DePaul basketball. Paranormal has always been an interest to me; I think it comes from my absolute obsession for horror movies! I attend several horror conventions a year and currently have a collection of over 300 horror DVDs. Marv was so quiet on all of our investigation its hard to know if he is there. Mario's stealthiness earned him the nickname Ghost Ninja
