Mike Perkins
"Mike is head of the SEPIA© office based in New York and
the Tri State Area/ Lead Investigator.
Mike grew up in the
Hudson Valley in New York, surrounded by stories of headless
horsemen and white ladies. He developed a healthy curiosity
for the unknown early on. That curiosity combined with his
sense of wonder and generous cynicism make for an excellent
investigator. Later he moved down to North Carolina for some
time and has now moved back to New York. He has taken on
investigations up and down the east coast checking out
renowned locations like the Hudson River Psychiatric Center
and the Battleship North Carolina."
Founder  of S.E.P.I.A ©/Lead Investigator/Co-Host SEPIA RVP Radio What to
say? I was raised in PA & NC, I grew up a happy child who loved animals-
especially horses. I rode for many years(still do). I was also obsessed with
scary movies and ghosts. I could never get enough of scary stories, movies,
tours, "Haunted" houses and anything supernatural. I have always been some
what sensitive to changes in energy around me. I had quite a few paranormal
experiences as a child which I think is partly due to being more sensitive to it.
Honestly, I was petrified of it- because all I had been exposed to was the
"scary" malevolent aspect of ghosts & spirits that are shown in media. It
wasn't until i became an adult that I realized that a haunting isn't necessarily a
bad thing. As an adult I loved to gain as much knowledge about the
paranormal as I could. It wasn't until the show "Ghost Hunters" came on that I
realized that there were actually groups of people that actively researched this
subject all over the united states. Due to work, kids, a husband and a busy
schedule, it took a little bit to find a paranormal group around here that I could
join. I found a group called CCPRG and my husband and I joined. I absolutely
loved it. I thought it might scare me on the first investigation but it was almost
like a drug. I couldn't get enough. Now, my husband and I have decided to give
it a shot at forming our own group in hopes that we can gain as much
research as possible. I hope I get the opportunity to work with as many other
paranormal groups as I can... the more the better! I am married, have 2
beautiful kids, and work as a mail carrier for the post office. I still love to ride
horses (I have a thoroughbred), love to read, I collect crystals/gemstones, love
to do things that scare me, and love to spend time with my kids. Now you
know about me.
Pennsylvania Consultant/Case Manager/ "Glorified
Equipment Cleaner"
Ashley was born and raised in North
East Pennsylvania. She has had quite a few paranormal
experiences in her life, which leaves her extremely reluctant to
purposely investigate a location and be exposed to another
supernatural event. However, having lived her entire life in a
very (reportedly) haunted area of the northeast, she knows a lot
about the area and can assist in bringing us to potential
investigations.
Lead Investigator I'm originally from a  small town in
eastern Ky but lived in Baton Rouge,La before moving
here to Jacksonville.My husband and i have been married
for nearly 11 years and he is a former United States
Marine.We have a beautiful daughter who is now 1 1/2
years old.My younger brother and three pets also reside
with us.I had my first paranormal experience at the age of
7 and then other encounters on and off throughout the
years.At first i was scared but then it became more and
more fascinating to me but i mostly kept it to myself.As i
got a little older i  was taught that ghosts don't exist on the
earth,only demons and evil spirits do.Although i had  
different thoughts about it,i set my feelings aside for a
long time.After moving here i once again had another
experience( and my husband) so i decided that there has
to be more to it than what we realize.Through
investigating,i hope to gain as much knowledge and
understanding as possible so that i may help others.As a
side note,I'm a very laid back.."go with the flow" type
person.I love meeting new people although i tend to be
shy at first till i get to know you. My hobbies are singing
and making crafts by hand and with my sewing machine.I
love entertainment and arts.Im a HUGE movie buff
especially horror and musicals.

We thank you for your patience and Support, please check back as we
will be updating often. Thank you once again. S.E.P.I.A.
Lead Investigator/Co-Host SEPIA RVP From a very
young age, I was able to see in to a world that most do not
get to see.  I am a Sensitive/Empath.  Which means I can
sense, taste, smell, hear, feel, and sometimes see beyond
our plane of existence.  As I have grown, my abilities have
grown stronger. I just wish I would have known all of this
when I was younger.  I grew up being a very skeptical little
girl; even know I had these gifts. I just thought I was a odd
duck. At the age of 28 I went and seen a Medium. I was
trying to get in contact with my Mother whom I lost at the
age of 21 to cancer. From that day on, I was a changed
person. I was guided by this individual to use this girt I was
given to help others.  Therefore, that is what I have set out
to do.  I dove into any books I could to educate myself on
these subjects. I read until my eyes were crossed and my
brain felt like it was going to explode.

Through that journey of educating, I grew an interest in the
Paranormal. I wanted to see for myself how I could use
these gifts and to prove to others that life does exist after
death.  I started on my own going to cemeteries and
abandoned buildings with some friends, from that point on I
was hooked. I researched and found a local group to go out
on Investigations with and that is when I discovered that this
was my passion in life. To see the relief and the look of
happiness on the client’s faces for helping them when they
had no one else to turn to was pure fulfillment for me. I
have been doing the Investigating now for going on 4 years
and will probably never quit doing it. I just do not see myself
doing anything else but helping people in need.

Now, I am currently an Independent Investigator looking to
start up my own group by the end of the year. I am also in
the process of getting my Bachelors Degree in Psychology,
and to looking to pursue a career in Family/Greif and
Substance Abuse Counseling. I would like to put my
knowledge of all of this in to Investigating as well. I believe
that many paranormal events can occur through the
thought process. And, really isn’t a paranormal event
occurring at all.  Within the year, I will also be re-locating to
the Boston Area to join partnership with my dear friend
Robyne in a business. I think the combination of us we can
really educate people on this subject and help many others
who are confused & scared.

Investigator    I am an official comic book and gaming geek,
and yes, I am geekier than you!  I cannot remember a time in
my life where I did not have a fascination with what makes
people tick, or the paranormal.  Some of my likes:  cars, art,
singing, writing, reading, animals, hockey, and I love music
and animals!  I am also a huge tomboy, and as such is a
volunteer firefighter/EMT.  I have done a lot of interesting
and wild things in my short 26 years of life, and I continue to
keep on that path!  "The hero is commonly and simply the

Eric Dionne
SEPIA TEAM WILMINGTON/Investigator In Training -I was
born in Kernersville, NC. As a child I was always fascinated by
the ocean and especially sharks and pirates. At the same time
I was plagued by the terrors of the unseen .  In my early teens
I started scuba diving classes and my desire to learn more was
insatiable. By age 16 I earned my Master scuba diver
certification.  I eventually moved to Wilmington, where I
entered the Marine Tech program at  Cape Fear Community
College. That’s where I met Aaron ( another Sepia of
Wilmington member), who’s apartment, for lack of a better
word, was haunted. I soon after obtained my Coast guard
certified Captains license. It was the next year that Aaron and I
became enthralled with the happenings in his apartment. We
wanted to learn more about what was going on before our
eyes. We conducted small investigations of our own and got
surprising results. We were hooked. We found Sepia through
a friend and set up an investigation. After that there was no
going back. Aaron and I were dead set on becoming
paranormal investigators. SEPIA contacted us soon after and
graciously offered us the oportunit to become part of the team.
And that’s where we are now!!!

Aaron Carver
SEPIA TEAM WILMINGTON/Investigator In Training
My name is Aaron Carver, The paranormal has always
interested me from a very young age. I do have many
stories and experiences but my skeptical mind has shut
most of them down until recently. I lived in an apartment in
Wilmington NC for the last year, This was a very rough
long year. I had a very angry haunting in this apartment
which seemed to attach itself to me. It affected my moods,
sleep, and every day life. My daily life was a wave of
emotions from one extreme to the other, making it hard on
my friends as well as me. Other than scaring the crap out
of me it pretty much wiped away all the skeptic thoughts
now i want to know all i can about everything paranormal.
The anger this caused is gone now that i have moved but
i have not lost the curiosity of investigating.
More about me I am the biggest movie junkie you'll ever
meet. Name it and i have seen it. I am in school at CFCC
working on an associates in fine arts, striving to be an
actor, or anything in the movie or TV business. I also
enjoy good scares and good laughs, to me laughter is the
key to a long happy life.

NC LMBT #6986 Investigator/Reiki Master
My journey into the paranormal started when I was around 5
years old. I was lucky enough to have family that was familiar
with paranormal activities and helped me with understanding
and accepting the unknown. Throughout my teen years I began
developing medium abilities and started receiving messages
from the “other side”. I was skeptical of myself and had no one
to turn to for help. It wasn’t until my grandmother’s passing that I
began to understand a lot more and that it is truly a gift. It wasn’
t long until I realized that my strong intuition made me a natural
healer. I was often taking in injured animals and helping others
through energy healing. I became a Certified Reiki Practitioner
(a form of Japanese energy healing) and a Crystal Therapist.
This led me to an even greater understanding of the energies
among the spiritual and physical worlds. I have continued in my
path of healing through my current profession as a Nationally
Certified, Licensed Massage & Bodywork Therapist. The
knowledge I learned from this proved that thought and intention
can cause change in the body, both physically and mentally.
Energy, whether from an entity or through healing, can cause
change in the physical body and mind because it carries its own
intention. With my background, I hope to assist and educate
clients who need a deeper explanation and understanding of
the energy fields and how they interrelate with paranormal
activities, as well as utilizing my gifts to help on investigations to
provide some answers. I gladly offer my skills as a Reiki
Practitioner to the SEPIA clients that need it. You can check out
my website for further information on my business.

Investigator In Training  My name is David Matthias, I was born
in Lynn,Mass and moved to Jacksonville NC when my Father
enlisted in the Marines when I was 2 years old.Since then we
were stationed up and down the east coast but always ended up
back in Jacksonville.When I was 11 years old I lived in a house in
Jacksonville that had two graves in the back yard at the right
corner of our property. That summer they tore down the woods to
build new houses on the next street over and they took the tomb
stones up and threw them in a dump truck but left the coffens.
The next night I  was in bed and was
woke up with a feeling like someone was in the room with me. I
opened my eyes and about a foot from the ceiling was a white
mist and in the middle of it the face of an old man the look on his
face was one of anger and I threw the covers over my head in
fear. From that day on he would appear at least once a week. I
told my parents  but they did not believe me. I kept it from my
younger brother and sister because I did not want them
to be scared.Years later when I was 19 my brother and I started
talking about when we were younger living down piney green
road and he brought up the house we lived in and how he saw
the face of an old man in his room and that he would never forget
what he looked like. When he described what he looked like it
made me feel like I was 11 years old looking up at him again.
From that day on I have been on the search for answers.My
search has led me to a diploma from Stratford in
Astrology/Parapsychology And more Questions then answers.
