AMOK Podcast
Presentation - Hidden -
Dangers of Paranormal Investigating From A Personal
Perspective.
A paranormal survivor
shining a light on the darker aspect of ghost hunting.
Monsters can walk among us.
In 2006 Adrian and his wife,
Tina, formed River Valley Paranormal Research &
Investigations (RVPRI) in Ft. Smith, Arkansas after
experiencing paranormal activity in two of their homes.
As a lifelong non-believer in anything described as
"paranormal', Adrian was convinced that he was wrong when he
experienced an undeniable paranormal encounter in 1999.
With a firm Biblical perspective on the world, and a
foundation rooted in common sense, Adrian has made it his
mission to help those who have no one else to turn to.
As someone who did not receive any support from his own
church when he was in crisis, he knows the importance of
offering a spiritual perspective on paranormal experiences
for those who place their faith in God. Adrian and
Tina specialize in home investigations, and since they've
started done over 400 investigations in which they have
helped hundreds of families through dark times, even when faced
with personal risk. They and their RVPRI team have
been featured on Ghost Adventures when the show
investigated Fort Chaffee Arkansas. Adrian and Tina
were also seen in the movies Soul Catcher and
The Unseen, produced and directed for SyFy by the Booth
Brothers and one of their encounters has been features in
"Seekers," directed by Alan Lowe. They have also been
