Boni Bates

At an early age, I was introduced to the world of paranormal, by opening my closet door at the young age of 5, and seeing two faces of an elderly couple floating towards the ceiling. I also sensed that I was being watched at times, and I could tell when it was a good feeling, or bad. I learned to cope with this, with a dear aunt, who also had experience with the paranormal.
I taught Space Science in a local high school, assisted by N.A.S.A(National Aeronautics & Space Administration),was an Executive producer for a TV show called "On Call" with the cable company. I also was Executive producer for two live telethons for the victims of a hurricane disaster in California. I also had experience in the editing of certain programs for cable TV as well. I became a Private Detective for several years, and also worked in the evidence department of Old Bridge Police.
I am a certified Paranormal Investigator and certified Ghost Hunter. I have had years of experience in this field, and continue to find evidence of life after death.

Rob Reid

I am the Co-founder of GSGHS and a Lead Investigator along with Boni Bates . This group was not formed overnight. This group was founded by two like individuals with the desire to get out the straight truth about reports of haunting's. I live in Mercer Co. NJ. I am happily married and the father of three great children. I started in the field of Ghost research to find answers to the long asked question, "Is there life after death?". That is what I am seeking, the honest truth. I will do that using my years of experience in this field along with our colleagues in the field. I will use all of the technology available today to seek the answers that everyone is looking for. I will use my twenty years of experience in the electrical field to help me in this endeavor. I will work to insure that all material gathered and presented on this site is accurate and real. The answer will be found with the help of our team of experienced investigators.

Keri Bates

I started ghost hunting when I was at a young age, with my mother. I have seen things paranormal, and became curious. So I investigate, to prove life does exist after death. I don't believe in demanding that a ghost appear by taunting them. I feel that they were once human too, and deserve our respect as if they were still here. And believe it or not, when I ask if I can take their picture, I get more results.
Just remember.....who ya gonna call?

Tim Bozarth

I currently live in Mount Laurel, NJ with my wife, Marisa, and our two daughters. I have investigated paranormal activity for almost a decade now with my wife Marisa in the beginning, and with G.S.G.H.S. for the majority of the later years. I started Ghost Hunting after I had my first personal encounter with an apparition at the Burlington County Prison. Ghost Hunting interests me because I have had my own experiences with the paranormal, however, I am still a bit skeptical. Because of my skepticism, I enjoy collecting my own evidence because I can verify the legitimacy of the evidence and that there has not been any tampering done to it. This is why I joined G.S.G.H.S. in the first place. I saw how evidence was collected and handled by the team, and I knew I could trust their findings.

Marisa Bozarth

The thing that I enjoy most about ghost hunting is the investigation. I enjoy collecting paranormal evidence and proving it to be authentic. Also, I have a love for history, and ghost hunting gets me to many historical places that I would not normally visit.

Wehttam Bates

I have never experienced the paranormal, but I became interested in my wife's investigations, and I came along with her. I must say, there are some interesting investigations that have intrigued me, so I continue to help her find answers to her quest.

Katrina Bates

My name is Katrina ....,Boni Bate's daughter. Most kids
I know don't believe in the paranormal, but I do. It all started when I was about 8 or 9 when I had my friend over, and we were playing hot potato.(There was a window in the wall to see threw) and by accident we threw it thru there (Now at the time my uncle past away a few months ago.)My Mom was in the other room with her friend, my dad was at the gym. We knew my uncles spirit was still with us. Now back to the ball, it was thrown back. When I went to go see who threw it, no one was there.(My uncle was sort of bald and big) Ii saw a shadow that looked like my uncles shadow, then it disappeared. I wasn't scared, I had mixed emotions. I see shadows every know and then, things out of the corner of my eye. That's the reason I became a paranormal investigator.

Dave Goldstein

I am the Technical Director of the group acting as a resource and a contributor to the acquisition of film, video and sound recordings. I have an extensive background in electronics as well so I help coordinate the more complex issues as they arise. By profession I am a manager of a divisional technology company and I currently reside in Southern New Jersey near the shore. My affection for video in the mid 1980’s led me to local television where I first met Boni. Since that time I have freelanced on several television projects in engineering, camera or sound. Always shooting the unusual, I have kept my eyes open looking for weird and offbeat imagery. Boni’s invitation to join the group afforded me an opportunity to contribute and to develop my interests in both the technology of today and the mystery of the unknown. The investigations we perform are a fascinating mix of science and sensitivity, a world where the boundaries are yet to be defined.

Robert Green

My interest in the paranormal started in childhood and grew through a number of personal experiences. Eventually I began looking for a paranormal investigation group hoping to find more answers to my many questions. I was lucky and found GSGHS just as the group was formed and have been with them ever since. My professional career is in technology running an Information Technology Department. In paranormal research my expertise is in technology and the application of technology to investigations with a particular emphasis on the capture and analysis of photo, video, and audio evidence. I have an appreciation and understanding of both scientific and metaphysical approaches to investigations and I enjoy continually expanding my knowledge and refining my techniques. I especially enjoy teaching and discussing all aspects of the investigatory process and all facets of the paranormal and metaphysical fields.

Jeff Long

My first experience happened when I was about 16 years old. My siblings were discussing sightings of a lady in white in our hallway as well as smelling pipe smoke flowing through the house. I never believed them until I experienced it myself one day. After that I wanted to learn more about what it was that I saw. I am starved for knowledge about what is out there after we depart this earth. My goal is to learn as much as possible about the after life and am also considering the study of demonology. After attending a ghost hunt with GSGH, and watched their knowledge and professionalism in action, I knew that they were the group that would help in furthering my knowledge in this field and hopefully experience more paranormal anomalies in the future. It's an honor to be a member of GSGH.

Lisa Long

I have been searching for answers in the paranormal field for 23 years now. I started out investigating old abandoned houses and farms but never thought to bring a recorder with me. However I did bring a camera most of the time.

I had small groups that tagged along with me and they called me, "The ghost hunter in the green Camaro".

It was 23 years ago when I shot a picture of my favorite abandoned farm house and when the film was developed, to my surprise, were four male apparitions posing in the picture through the openings of the front of the house where there was once a front door and southern style windows on each side.

They were all American Indians dressed in Jeans and T-Shirts. I love American Indian’s so you can imagine how important this picture was to me. It was my pride and joy but unfortunately I lost it in the shuffle of growing up and having big time spring and fall intense cleanings of my bedroom and closet, organizing, etc... I am searching for that perfect picture again so I can prove to others there is life after death. It's so wonderful to be a member of GSGH! They are a group of really awesome people.

Ronnie

I'm Ronnie and live in Mount laurel N.J. and I joined Garden State Ghost Hunters Society to help prove that paranormal activity does exist. I have always felt that ghost do exist and are around us all the time. Joining this group also lets me go to Historical places, I am big into history.

Justinn - Investigator in Training

My name is Justinn, and I'm 16 years old. My first paranormal experience was when I was 10 years old. I was in Jamaica on vacation and my family took a tour of a haunted house on the island. While we were walking in the main hallway, there was a big painting of the lady that lived there and haunts the mansion. As I walked past it, I felt someone or something was watching me, and I felt as if the eyes were moving. I then took a picture looking down the steps and when I developed it, there was a white orb in the picture that looked like it was coming up the steps. Since then, I have been interested in ghosts and want to prove they are real. That is what I joined G.S.G.H.S. and want to become a paranormal investigator.

Jeff - Investigator in Training

I got into ghost hunting at a very young age. I was always fascinated by all things paranormal and read up on it with every chance I got. As I grew older, the interest never wavered, so I knew it was something that would continue for the rest of my life. I met the GSGHS through research for a book, and from there, asked to join their group so I could continue going on these investigations, and help them find some proof of older worldly existence. I hope to bring my knowledge of video to the group, to help capture something on film.

Daria D. - Investigator in Training

My name is Daria. I live in Iselin, NJ. I work in Cranbury as a Sales Coordinator for a Housewares company.

I have always been intrigued by the Paranormal, especially after my Dad passed away 7 years ago.

Last summer I experienced a few unexplainable events at my house. My radio would turn on by it self. This happened most often, it used to drive me nuts because I was in bed most of the time and I would have to get up and turn it off.

On two occasions objects moved by themselves, I like to think of all this as my Dad just saying "Hi."
I feel there is so much we don't know about what happens when we pass onto the next world, and I believe we won't find out for sure until it's our turn to see the other side. I'm new to investigating and I look forward to capturing evidence that helps in the effort to prove there is communication between our world and the world beyond.

Kathy - Investigator in Training
