The Founders Adrian and Tina
 Adrian Founder/ Lead Investigator
TAPS Family Management Central Zone Liaison IPI Arkansas State Representative Always a hardcore skeptic, I found it hard to believe the claims my wife was making when we lived in a house that was haunted. I went so far as to make fun of her for believing in the things she was saying. One night we came across something I could not explain away and I could not deny since my wife, who had seen it as well, described to me what I had just seen. That was in early 2000 and it started me down this strange pathway. We actually moved from that home into a "normal" home that we rented for one year and then bought the home we are living in now, which as luck would have it has activity in it as well. After chasing a shadow around my house to find out that it wasn't a person after all I decided along with my wife to start River Valley Paranormal Research and Investigations. Along about July 2006 we started to plan out the group and started to buy equipment, and in late September started obtaining the members who would become the finest team I could hope for. No longer an unbeliever I am still a skeptic, I do not believe that a place is haunted just because it is scary looking or because someone say's it is. And as a representative in Arkansas for the International Paranormal Investigators (I.P.I.) I bring with me and our team, a wealth of knowledge that spans years and backgrounds. If you have actual paranormal activity in your business or home I will do my best to find the activity and present you with the evidence that we have found. |
 Tina Founder/Lead Investigator
Case Manager
All my life I have been into anything paranormal. Everything from ghost's, U.F.O.s and Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. Laugh if you want, but I feel that there is more out there than what we've seen. I feel that we won't know the truth until we die, so you might as well keep an open mind. I have had a several paranormal experiences in my
life, this has fueled my desire to become an investigator. So after a lot discussion with Adrian, we founded RVPRI. I am not just an investigator I am also the office manager, and scheduling desk operator for RVPRI.
Other than that I love animals, especially horses. I love to travel and see new places, and now that all the kids are grown I am free to do more.
Tina is the best partner anyone could hope for, she not only helps with direction but she spends many hours a day doing all the tedious little things that keep a group together. |
A team is only as good as it's members and we have surrounded ourselves with those who we consider great.
TEAM RVPRI
|
Don Lead Investigator / Tech Manager Hi, I'm Don. I'm one of the team skeptics. I'm always
trying to see the logical side of everything. But since joining the group last
year, I have seen and heard things that throw logic out the window. I'm still a
skeptic, but more open minded, now that I've seen my first apparitions (it was 2
ladies) and heard numerous EVP's and taken a couple of unexplainable photos. I
don't know what the things are that we see and hear, but they are definitely
paranormal. |
Shawn Investigator / Tech team Welder, paintball player, sarcastic, smart a**, blunt and funny, if that's at all possible. Shawn is generally a skeptic by nature, and that is very valuable to keep a team grounded. With outstanding abilities in making things work he is an awesome problem solver, if you can visualize it he can make it happen. In a pinch he can put something together like MacGyver, and if you give him time it will be custom shop quality. Extremely valuable to the team in ability, and much more than that as a friend. |

Jennifer Investigator When I was younger, there would be things that happened in the house I would always get the blame for but I really wasn't the one doing them. The things going on were everything from noises to lights flickering, doors opening and closing, shadows, and temperature. I've never been afraid of what was going on there just a little curious now that I'm an adult I want to know more about the paranormal and help anybody in any way I can. I live in the River Valley area. I attend UAFS. I'm a mother of a 5 year old girl, Kara and 2 year old boy, Muncci. |
 Robbin Monitor Tech/ Investigator / Event Photographer
I was born & raised in California, I moved to the
Sebastian County area in 1979 at the age of 16. I'm a huge sports nut. I cheer
for the Dodgers, Raiders & USC Trojans. I played softball from the age of 8 to
32 and began umpiring at 29 and retired due to a neuromuscular disease at 36. I
started taking action photos as a way to stay close to the ball fields. I am
single and have one "child" (the four legged variety). She's a German
Shepherd/Australian Shepherd |

Auxiliary Investigators |
 Sean (aka Roach) Investigator Everyone calls me Roach because I killed a super huge cockroach that was like the size of my foot at an investigation and it screamed like a little girl when it was dying gloriously in battle. Just in case anyone ever wanted to know, that's why I am called "Roach". But my hobbies include ghost studies, video games anything Star Wars I collect, and spending time with my wife and my 4 year old son (not necessarily in that order). Anyway, I was, as a kid, mostly skeptic of the paranormal, because most things could be explained. A lot of missing things and misplaced items around the household probably come from short-term memory loss, or just plain forgetting where you put it (it happens to the best of us) screams in the woods, well Arkansas has panthers (to those of you who don't know) and those extremely loud smashes and crashes in the woods and you see a larger hairy man like creature....a bear..... and so you get the picture. Well something happened to me and my brother, that we just couldn't explain, so I was a believer after that incident. I would study paranormal psychology, I watched Internet ghost videos picking at those and debunking those videos. It actually became a great interest to me, and of course, still is. Then someone I've known for quite some time, Adrian came along and welcomed me to a wonderful group named River Valley Paranormal Research and Investigations. I've actually always wanted to be on a Paranormal group, but now I'm on the BEST Paranormal group! I enjoy hanging around these guys and they help out in anyway they can. |

Research and Events |
 Beverly Research Lead/Investigator Events
Since I was a small child and had my first paranormal
experience, I have hoped to find others to confide in, who also had
experiences. I have found them in RVPRI. I know there are spirits still with
us for unknown reasons. With RVPRI I will search to find answers and hope to
help others. |
 Dianne Live in Fort Smith. I have 5 great grandkids. I'm excited to be able to be a part of such a great group. I have had an interest in the paranormal for many years; after myself and several family members having had different sort of experiences. I look forward to helping with research, events, and anything else I can. In my spare time, I love to read, work crossword puzzles, bake (esp. desserts). Also love all kinds of music, and going to movies. I love to fish; although haven't been in awhile. Love to watch Ghost Hunter's and some other paranormal groups on tv; and am interested in all types of paranormal experiences. |
