Ted " Wolfe " Van Son Jr
Founder/ President / Host on Paratalkradio.com / Author
Ted has been investigating the paranormal since 1987. It started when he was a teen and it continues to this day. Somethings that sets Ted apart from most other paranormal investigators, is his ability to work hand in hand with his clients centering on the empathy he feels for each and every one. Sometimes they become like family. His unique, down to earth, no non-sense attitude quickly shows his separation of the norm. Ted has a skeptical belief in the paranormal as a whole. He also has a hard time believing in the whole " Inter-dimensional, science-fiction " most teams quickly claim as fact. The claims of possession , orbs, demons, and extreme supernatural comments or theories he believes is fear from those that don't understand the true field or its television creation for ratings. In his years of being an investigator Ted has never found himself face to face with something so evil or demonic. He also has never encountered the feeling of being possessed or being attacked.
Ted has appeared on Destination America & TRVL Channel Television episodes of Paranormal Survivor and recently Ghost Nation premiering on Oct 11th on TRVL. He has also been a guest on Coast to Coast with George Noory. He is regularly giving educational seminars & lectures about being a Paranormal Investigator and the art of ghost hunting, he also organizes the successful Rochester Winter Parafest in the Rochester, New York Area, as well as the Non-Profit Genesee Valley Paranormal Investigators. Ted also Hosts "ParaTalkRadio" on Paratalkradio.com, Heard on ; Facebook Live, Youtube, Tune-In, IHeart Radio, Itunes, Google Play, Spotify and more. Monday Nights at 8pm EST 7pm CST.
Initially beginning with George Turner and the Crossroadsradionetwork in 2016, ParaNormal Talk has grown up to become Paratalkradio.com's biggest radio program - now a product of the Genesee Valley Paranormal Investigators. In addition to G.V.P.I, he has been a public figure: as the front man and lead singer of the very successful East Coast touring band from Rochester New York, 'Double Cross'. Ted feels right at home on a stage in front of audiences up to 74,000 and organized the CDCTT Music Tour that spanned Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and the Southern-tier. He worked in promotions for many years with TC Productions.
Ted is a fan of many movie genres: Among his favorites are horror, action, Science Fiction, Vampire and Werewolf/Lycan films. He is a follower of the Pagan Way of Life, The Religion and Science. Ted remains somewhat of a skeptic though his "Gift" of knowing and his abilities direct him more towards being a believer. Ted is also a member of Squatchdetective.com , the Official Contact for Big Foot sightings in the Rochester & Western/Central New York.
Ted is available for most events including Television Appearances,Para-cons, Para-festivals, Book signings and Lectures and more. Since the early 1990's Ted has consulted many individuals and teams in New York State. He believes through education the distance of finding the truth is one step closer. Everyone in the field has something to offer one another, reach out and join others in the field to gain steps toward the truth.

Edna MClean Investigator in training
Edna joined the Genesee Valley Investigators team in the summer of 2018 after she was invited to be a guest investigator for an evening. She resides with her husband, two sons and future daughter-in-law. She also enjoys bowling, cross-stitching, natural light photography, cemetery hopping and someday hopes to learn FX makeup techniques for Halloween (her favorite holiday!) Edna also enjoys crafting, baking and dreaming up evil schemes with her sister-in-law and fellow GVPI investigator, Nichole. Edna has quite the collection of rocks, crystals and sea shells. She is learning how to use her crystals for healing purposes, protection and positive energy. She is currently learning how to read Tarot and is interested in scrying and developing her natural psychic abilities in the near future. Edna isn’t really sure what drew her to have an interest in the paranormal. She has always been drawn to things that are mystical, dark, mysterious and “out of the ordinary.” She is intrigued by things that other people find odd, weird, strange or even scary. Curiosity drives her to research and investigate the stories, myths, legends and folklore that have been told throughout generations. Edna hopes that her photography and paranormal studies throughout the years will help contribute to the team. She hopes to keep learning about the paranormal, different investigating techniques, evidence review and equipment usage to become a better, and productive member of the Genesee Valley Paranormal Investigator team. |
Nichole Farrell Investigator in training
Nichole is a home manager who enjoys spending time in the heart and soul of her home; the kitchen. You can find her cooking for her family or baking sweet treats for special occasions. She also can create her own recipes on a whim. She has two children. Nichole became interested in the paranormal at a very young age when she saw a UFO across the street from her home. From that point on, she was fascinated by the paranormal. She started reading science fiction magazines, books about ghost hauntings, and folklore. Since her early twenties Nichole started experiencing “ghostly happenings “ such as hearing strange noises, and disembodied voices, smelling odd odors, witnessing objects move on their own, rapid temperature changes, and occasionally see apparitions. These experiences have sparked her interest in the paranormal even further. Nichole joined Genesee Valley Paranormal Investigators to develop her investigation skills further, and be part of a paranormal team that has a little dash of “out of the ordinary”, a tablespoon of “weirdness”. A quarter cup of “craziness “, a half cup of “bad-ass”, and a whole cup of “awesomeness “. |
Joshua Janiszeski
Investigator in Training
I'm 23 years old (24 October 7th). I have always been into the paranormal since I was young. My first experience happened when I was about 8 years old hearing footsteps above my brother and I around 2 in the morning. I have watched a remote fly across my room about 10 feet at around 3 in the morning. My family has always had encounters in their houses in the Buffalo area. I have been to Rolling Hills a couple times and a few different cemeteries to explore. I'm into metal music and being around people that are a positive role model in my life.

David Hladis & Kirsten Hladis " Pioneer Spirits"
Freelance Investigators
With over 15 years in the paranormal field I find it's like a treasure hunt. "You won't find anything if you're not looking ".
|
A keen interest in local history, combined with a
handful of paranormal experiences in my life took me in this direction. I have a love of all things old, and great respect and admiration for those Pioneer Spirits who came before us. |
