Kristen has been freaking us out lately with her newfound psychic medium abilities. She has done academic paranormal research since 2013, aided in séance studies, and commercial, residential, and private paranormal investigations. Aside from her academic paranormal research, she has a background in behavioral healthcare and brings a level of medical expertise to each investigation. Kristen also excels at gathering stories for haunted history tours. You should almost definitely ask her what happened while gathering information in downtown Jeffersonville, Indiana for Kentuckiana Historical Haunted Tours.

The Story of Boo812

Each of us have been involved in the paranormal in some capacity since the early 00s! Somehow, some stars aligned and we all crossed paths in Southern Indiana through an academic paranormal research group. Katie Jo, Kristen, and Courtney have been doing paranormal research and odd experiments since 2015 together. Kristen and Katie Jo have been researching together since 2013.

We have experienced many things beyond our understanding and skepticisms. Many members of the community have expressed a want to try out paranormal investigations or stick a toe in the waters of liminality without being alone, joining an expensive group of strangers, or simply wanting to be in a safe space to express the odd things that have happened to them.

Each of us bring unique strengths to the field. We continue to do private residence, commercial, and public investigations. Ghost Hunting 101s will resume in September. Katie Jo tells local haunted history stories on TikTok and Instagram, and Courtney has an amazing live stream about parapsychology and historical accounts of paranormal occurrences. In 2021, we decided to leave the group we were formerly with to bring more woo to you! We started Boo812 together in 2022, and have since been hosting Ghost Hunting 101 courses at Raven's Roost Boutique in New Albany, and are now assisting in two TV series, New Blood TV and Inhuman Beings.
