The BooBaes
If you've made it here, HECK YEAH! You're doing your due diligence! You'll want to see our paranormal street cred! We are happy to show you what we do, what we've done, and what we're working on now! Also, seriously, go you for checking your source material providers!
​
We hope you do this with everyone in this field that you encounter for your safety and for credibility purposes.
Remember: If someone gets upset because you asked for their credentials, they're putting their ego over your safety. You should always check the backgrounds of people you're investigating with. Especially if you're doing an overnight investigation or other close quarters, in the dark event with strangers or people you have not met. I'd also like to direct you to MyCase to check criminal histories of folks in the state of Indiana. Most states have some sort of public records database to check identities. Please for the sake
