About the Event

 Big thanks to James Baack for the creation of our cover photo!

 

But though he was a wolf, he retained some traces of his original shape. The grayness of his hair was the same, his face showed the same violence, his eyes gleamed as before, and he presented the same picture of ferocity.

Bucks County Paranormal Investigations

Bucks County Paranormal Investigations lead investigators Eric Mintel and Dominic Sattele joined by Wisconsin Branch BCPI Ellen Collins will speak about their recent investigation of the BBR last October, the evidence they gathered and will show a screening of their video the Beast of Bray Road (Alive and Well). Eric Mintel is a professional jazz musician having performed twice by invitation to the White House for president Bill Clinton in 1998 and President Obama in 2011. He has performed at the Kennedy Center and a special concert at the United Nations. Eric along with High School friend Dominic Sattele, who is a spirit medium, have investigated everything from ghosts to UFO’s to Bigfoot but the Beast of Bray Road investigation was the most frightening case to date. Ellen Collins sponsored their video and is the executive producer as well as a paranormal researcher in her own right having investigated the Beast of Bray Road for years.

Steve Ward

Steve Ward has been fascinated by the unexplained for over half a century following two major events that inspired his interest in the unexplained. Growing up in Michigan, the March 1966 UFO flap occurred virtually in his backyard. The following November a winged humanoid chased two couples down a lonely country road near Point Pleasant, West Virginia. The legend of the Mothman was born. Steve would be chasing the Mothman the rest of his life and gave him his perspective of areas of “high strangeness" or "window areas". Steve has his own podcast on The Paranormal UK Radio Network called The High Strangeness Factor & can be heard as a correspondent on Mack Maloney's Military X-Files on that same network. He has a Facebook Page called The Phantom Menagerie. He also has a chapter on the Mothman in, "Weird Winged Wonders" & in "Mothman & Other Flying Creatures of the Midwest”. He is writing a book which will deal with the underlying parallels & patterns that link different aspects of the paranormal together.

​

Jeff Finup

Jeff Finup is the creator of the popular Instagram account, Badgerland Legends, where he writes about legends, lore, history, oddities, and cryptids from the Badger State.

His interest was piqued at an early age when he discovered the mysterious aspects of his home state. Since then he’s been collecting and curating the strange tales, occurrences, and lore from Wisconsin.


Jeff will present a practical way of finding “the weird” wherever you are.

Paul Harris

Paul is a healthcare worker and former biology/wildlife student of the University of Wisconsin. He is an avid outdoorsman and lover of all that is nature. Paul has explored many places in Wisconsin’s natural areas as well as being an amateur wildlife photographer. He has had a few cryptozoological experiences in the epicenter of “weird” here in south central Wisconsin, specifically Avon Bottoms where Katie Zahn witnessed 3 Dogmen drinking from the Sugar River. Paul has also connected with several people that have had such experiences as well. Paul states that it's an honor to be able to talk about these experiences at this conference and look forward to meeting more others with such experiences

​

Paul Harris will focus on his encounters of dogman from Avon Bottoms.

This interest has led her to the study of various paranormal topics, some of which include cryptids, hauntings, E.T.s and psychic studies. With a degree in anthropology and a professional investigative background, she is drawn toward researching mysteries of ancient civilizations and hidden archaeology. Through her research, she aims to discover not only what occurrences are happening but how and why they happen.
