" 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." Mike organizes the New York/Tri State Teams as well as Case manages and
sets up cases up North.
Founder of S.E.P.I.A ©/Co-Founder ICE/Lead Investigator/Co-Host SEPIA RVP Radio
I was born in Vernal, UT, But (basically) raised in Northeast P.A. My interest in the paranormal goes back as
far as I can remember. I don't believe I was even in Kindergarten when i first began begging my parents to
watch horror movies. By 3rd grade I was reading Stephen King. I don't know if it was the early exposure to
scary stories or my sensitivity that created the intense fear I felt but I was petrified of "Ghosts" until my
early/mid teens. (Although I still watched every paranormal based movie and read every book I could get my
hands on!) By about 14, I was going to cemeteries and abandoned buildings to "challenge" my fear. When I
moved to NC, I began to do more research on the Paranormal. From there, I started researching history on
many local places, worked with another group, and eventually started my own group (SEPIA) with my
husband. The paranormal is a passion for me; I believe it always will be. Other than the paranormal, I am also
a Psychology Buff, love to ride horses, animals, my family, music, friends, and history.
Pennsylvania Consultant/Case Manager and "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. Ashley assist in organizing the
Pennsylvania Team as well as researching cases in the North East of the US in conjunction with Mike Perkins out of
the New York Office.

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

Investigator and Equipment Development and ICE Member
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 coffins. 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 and
Parapsychology And more Questions then answers.

Investigator In Training
My name is Shey DeLaire. I am originally from Scottsdale, Arizona, but moved here to North Carolina
when I was 4. I have lived in Garner, Carolina Beach, and Wilmington. I am 18 years old and graduated
from Laney high school. I work 2 jobs, I'm a cashier at Lowes Foods and i nanny for 3 kids. I am French
and Puerto Rican. I currently live in Wilmington with my mom and little brother. I have always been
interested in anything paranormal. I have never experienced anything abnormal as a child. I have a
strong passion for anything historic and anything with a history. I have toured probably every historic
site in Wilmington- the Battleship, Poplar Grove, Bellamy Mansion. As a senior, our class was required
to do a graduation project, and for my topic i chose paranormal activity, of course. I have always been
a huge fan of all the shows like Ghost Hunters, GHI and all that. I had the honor of working with Jess
and Eric of SEPIA, and they helped me so much with my project. I was more than ecstatic when they
asked me to be a part of SEPIA. I have done 3 investigations while doing my project and now can't
wait to be a part of many more!

Investigator In Training and Research Specialist
My name is Adriel Ray and I am a dual major in Mechanical Engineering and Physics at the
University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I loved to tinker with electronics and computers since I was
a young boy and that passion has found its way into my adult life as well. I am also training as a
Mixed Martial Artist. I have taken classes in computer programming and physics and earned my
Associate in Science degree in May 2010. I was more of a skeptic about the paranormal and
constantly used to criticize it constantly until I moved to Uncasville, CT for 3 years. We moved into an
old Victorian home on a hill right next to a river and one of the major highways in town. My parents
experienced a whole list of things including noises being heard and things being moved. These
occurrences made me curious about the paranormal and I have been ever since. I approach the
paranormal with more of a skeptical point of view because you have to be able to weed out what
could be natural and what could be paranormal. I joined SEPIA because I wish to gain as much
knowledge and experience with the paranormal as I can and SEPIA stood out in my mind as the
best group to help me toward my goal. I am also interested in I.C.E as well because Crypto zoology
has been an interest of mine as well.

SEPIA'S Brother Group (International Cryptozoology Establishment) ICE
I.C.E.- International Cryptozoology Establishment was founded to research and investigate hidden
animals better known as Cryptids. Cryptid (from the Greek "κρύπτω" meaning "hide") is a term
which is used in cryptozoology to refer to a creature whose existence has been suggested but
lacks scientific support. Such entities include chupacabras, Bigfoot, Yeti, and the Loch Ness
Monster. The term was coined by John E. Wall in a 1983 letter to the International Society of
Cryptozoology newsletter. Evidence for the existence of cryptids is typically limited to anecdotal
evidence or other forms of evidence insufficient to withstand normal scientific scrutiny by the
general zoological community. I.C.E.- Is a Team comprised of operates that are dedicated to the
seeking out or obtaining evidence of Cryptids. We will use a vast range of equipment from Trap
Cameras, DVRs, Night Vision, Recorders, and much much more to gather as much evidence
and proof about Cryptids through out the world as possible. We hope to one day contribute as
much as possible to the scientific community as we can and uncover new species and those that
have thought to of been lost. I.C.E.- is currently represented by Ideal Event Management.

John Zaffis has over thirty years of experience studying and
investigating the paranormal. He has had the opportunity to work for
and with his aunt and uncle, Ed and Lorraine Warren. This sent John
beyond looking for ghosts and hauntings and into studying demonology
under the Warrens. This led into John's involvement with cases of
possession and exorcism and working with prominent exorcists in this
field. Roman Catholic priests, monks, Buddhists, rabbis and
ministers. John has assisted and worked with well-known exorcists
Bishop Robert McKenna, Malachi Martin and the Rev Jun.
His research has taken him throughout the United States, Canada,
England and Scotland covering several thousands of cases. Through
hands on investigating with other investigators and clergy, he has
obtained a great deal of knowledge and understanding of the
paranormal and is considered one of the foremost authorities in the
field today.
Ghosts and poltergeists where among some of his first-hand
paranormal experiences, as well as the demonic and diabolical. He
has also worked extensively with both spiritualists and psychics
concerning how their knowledge is used for channeling, reincarnation
(past-life regression), or the calling of the spirits for
information, and how they use meditation to acquire the information
which they are seeking. Because of his personal experiences with
hauntings, ESP, near death experiences and other paranormal
activities, he is firm in his conviction that such phenomena exist.

Investigator in Training / Psychic Intuitive / ICE Team Member
My name is Tiffany-Renae. Ever since childhood, I've had a keen eye on the paranormal
side. Growing up in a southern-baptist community, it wasn't accepted. However, I couldn't
stop my communication with spirits. It was something that I used to not like so much,
considering how most people are skeptics, and I was misjudged. Looking at where I am at
now, I am thankful that I kept choosing to listen. It feels amazing to assist people who
reached out for help. Through the years, I have broadened my horizons through paranormal
investigations, readings, crystals, etc. The spirit realm is there; we just have to be willing to
be patient, still, and listen. Tiffany-Renae's hobbies are crafting, painting, writing, as well as
poetry and reading wide range of literature
