I’m in my 40s and I live in northern Wisconsin, a place where long stretches of forest, quiet back roads, and dark night skies make it easy to believe there’s more out there than what we’re told. My interest in the paranormal isn’t new—it’s something that’s been with me for as long as I can remember.
Over the years, I’ve had a few experiences of my own, including encounters with what I believe were ghosts and something far stranger—beings not of this world. Those moments didn’t scare me away from the unknown; they pulled me deeper into it, fueling a lifelong curiosity about what exists beyond our understanding.
Growing up, the stories never stopped at my own experiences. I heard accounts passed down through my family—my grandparents’ encounters with Bigfoot in the woods, and my aunt’s terrifying experiences involving ghosts and what she described as demonic beings. These weren’t campfire stories meant to entertain; they were told seriously, with the kind of detail that sticks with you.
Those stories, combined with my own experiences, shaped the way I see the world. They taught me to question, to listen, and to keep an open mind. That’s what led me to create The Echo Files—a place to explore paranormal encounters, strange phenomena, cryptids, UFOs, and the stories that refuse to fade away.
I don’t claim to have all the answers. I’m here to investigate, document, and share. Because sometimes the echoes of the unknown are too loud to ignore.
