Three SPIRITeam members presented topics of interest to a group of 30 paranormal researchers from Southwest and Central Florida on Saturday, August 4, 2007.

Doug Kelley presented, "Investigating and Researching with an Open Mind," which discussed the impact of belief on paranormal investigations. Doug offered his own conclusions that spirits are just like us, with feelings, pain, and joy. He also discussed why some people seem to be harassed by spirits, but others are not. He drew a connection between aggressive people and aggressive spirits and how being self-possessed prevents a person from being possessed by anyone else, be it human or otherwise.

Chris Quattlebaum presented "Capturing Orbs?" He discussed the difference in pictures taken with various camera types as well as with a polarized filter in an effort to minimize dust and vapor orbs. He showed several pictures of tests with water and dust to show how orbs can look and why true orbs are rare.

Grant Rubendunst presented "Near Death Experiences," which discussed the nature of NDEs as well as some historical accounts. His presentation included artwork from history depicting the commonly reported tunnel of light. Grant concluded his presentation by discussing the current research being done.

The SPIRITeam covers most of Florida, USA, and  has Certified Chapters and Partners in several locations in the United States.

SPIRITeam Founder, Doug Kelley, and Assistant Director Grant Rubendunst have been guests on Paranormal Radio with Captain Jack on WPRT Radio. Please visit their website for show schedules.
