Meet the Cobra Paranormal Team
|
Keith Ottersberg – Lead Investigator/Tech
I've experienced paranormal activity since I was six years old. The first encounter I had tramatized me, and throughout my life the paranormal activity surrounding me has had a negative impact on several of my relationships. As I got older, the activity began to intensify, and I needed to find answers; the why's, the how's, etc. Because of my need for answers, I had our home investigated twice by two different teams. During that time, others began to contact me for help. I arranged several investigations for one of those teams, and in exchange was allowed to investigate with them and learn. That particular team split into two. I was aked to join one of those teams. Eventually, I decided to form my own team, and Cobra Paranormal was born. I recieved help from some very special people and we were able to end the oppression of paranormal activity in my own life. It is because of this that I feel compelled to help others do the same. It was also through this process that I discovered abilites which I never understood before and some I didn’t know I had. I'm now drawn to help others understand their experiences and learn how to handle them before problems are escalated, and relationships and families are divided. |

Michelle Dyer - Case manager/investigator
My interest in the paranormal started at a very young age, I remember my grandmother telling me stories and sharing her experiences with me. When I was 10 years old I stayed overnight with her and she was afraid to sleep alone and so I shared the bed with her and I remember waking up in the middle of the night and feeling someone sit down at the end of the bed, I knew this didn’t make sense to my young mind as I didn’t see anything, I only felt it; my grandmother also woke up and asked if I had felt something sit on the bed to which I replied yes, she told me to stay there that she was going to the bathroom and left me in the room with whatever had decided to join us, my curiosity was piqued. Fast forward to when I was 15, I lost a dear friend of mine on my birthday to a suicide; I woke up before I had known of his passing to seeing him at the end of the bed, in my heart I already had known but I wanted answers and my search began anew. I had started my quest out on my own and spent endless weekends as your typical “ghost hunter” in graveyards trying to communicate and hone the abilities I had. As the years came and went a few things were very apparent to me the first being that I had a spirit guide who helped cradle me through the worst of times, him and I remain an intact team to this day; the other thing was that I could minimally communicate with spirits, in my opinion they only revealed themselves to me if I was deeply connected to them, I can feel their emotions, the final thing is that I also have dreams and they are often of people and events that I couldn’t possibly know about. I keep a journal and often have numerous déjà vu moments as I watch the scenes from my dreams unfold before me. I am an extreme empath and can feel most changes in my surrounding areas and my guide and I work in tandem to communicate with the spirits of the departed. I continually search for answers to bring peace to not only those in our afterlife but those folks who are still here with us. Helping people understand the paranormal world is certainly a passion of mine and I positively enjoy when the spirits share their stories with us! |

Tara Carloss (Para Tara) - Investigator
Had my first paranormal experience at the age of 8. This is when I first learned I was seeing things others were not able to and I figured out I could also hear and speak to spirits. This was not something I told anyone and I suppressed it till the age of 16 when the same spirit had come back to speak to me. Then again suppressed my gifts till the age of 22 when the same spirit came back once again but had also brought along another spirit with them. This is when I started to learn more about my gifts. I was able to see and speak to the deceased when I opened myself up. I could also see past visions and experiences of people. I could also see the future views of people. I knew my gifts were very strong, but it wasn’t until I learned I could control my environment and the environment of people around me. I never have used my gifts to make money or seek fame and fortune. They are my gifts and I choose when I use them and when I do I look at it as a blessing to others. My gifts are most used when I am investigating the paranormal, its one of my old school methods I use to achieve results. My passion for the paranormal has always run deep, but another thing I love is looking into the history of places I go to. I have been investigating the paranormal as an independent investigator since 1998. I have worked with many paranormal groups in the past and have joined along side other teams. Teams I am currently working along side are, SERT { spirit encounter research team}, EPI {Extreme Paranormal Investigations}, Darkness Falls Paranormal. Within these groups I do a lot of work dealing with darker and more demonic cases, in which I do use my gifts along with more modern methods of today's equipment. When I am not out investigating and researching the paranormal I am a full time hairstylist, a full time student, and I am a retired police officer. I am a divorced mother of two beautiful children and three grandchildren, and my mother of 77 years I take care of as well. I am a huge sports fan so I also enjoy going to hockey games, watching college football, and I really enjoy going to Nascar races twice a year. I am very excited to be apart of Cobra and with closely with everyone involved.. |
