Our Staff
Bart Glabman
(Founder / Director / Lead Investigator)
Bart has been a practicing paranormal investigator for over 15 years while experiencing supernatural phenomenon for well over 30 years. He has investigated many well-known locations in his native California from the Whaley House and Hotel Del Coronado in the San Diego area to the Mission in San Juan Capistrano to the RMS Queen Mary in Long Beach along with many haunted Hollywood locations in addition to other places throughout the state of California.
Bart’s approach to research and investigating the paranormal changed forever upon his initial meeting with the late Peter James. Mr. James is arguably the most famous ghost hunter psychic personality in the world. James began researching the paranormal in the late 1970s and or early 1980s. He took a ghost tour aboard the RMS Queen Mary, where he said he encountered many ghosts. He began conducting regular tours aboard the RMS Queen Mary in 1991 and founded what is the Ghosts and Legends Tour.
Peter was also a pioneer in the media area featured on 44 episodes of Fox and the Sci-Fi Channel’s “Sightings” series for eight seasons and he has appeared on numerous other specials, series and syndicated international television shows.
Bart has applied the teachings and practices he learned from Mr. James in his approach towards investigations and paranormal activities. Bart decided to form a paranormal investigation group after relocating from Southern California to the Phenix City, Alabama / Columbus, Georgia area by founding the Bi City Paranormal Research team.

Joe LaMolinare
(Senior Investigator)
Joe was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. His work in the shipping and receiving industries transferred him to the general Atlanta, GA region in 1985 where he and his family decided to stay even after retiring in 2022.
Joe has had a lifelong interest in the paranormal which started at 17 years old. He was involved in a couple of séances that changed his view on the afterlife moving forward.
He also lived in a haunted apartment after getting married which also shaped his views on the supernatural.
Joe officially became a paranormal investigator after retiring from his 40-year career and hasn’t slowed down since.
