Phantoms and Monsters

Rick Fisher has had an interest in the paranormal since an early age when he saw what he believes to have been a ghost. Since then Rick has spent much of his life in search of answers into the unknown. Rick’s journey has taken him to interesting places and has given him the opportunity to meet interesting people. In1997 he founded the Pennsylvania Ghost Hunters Society which is now the Paranormal Society of Pennsylvania and investigates reported hauntings, strange creatures, UFO’s, mysterious places, and unexplained phenomena. An innovator in modern ghost hunting techniques he was the first ghost hunter to use a digital camera, digital recorder, motion sensors and surveillance cameras when conducting investigations of reported haunted places. His techniques are used by many paranormal groups. He teaches classes on Paranormal Investigating at a local community college and has conducted hundreds of investigations and appeared on such programs as the Travel Channel’s “Ghostly Gettysburg” and “Supernatural Destinations” as well as local TV and numerous newspapers, books, magazines and radio programs.
