Over the years we've been fortunate enough to meet and in some cases work with other groups that do amazing things in our field, so we thought we'd give you an opportunity to meet some of them as well...
Dustin Pari and Brian Cano are two of the best there are in the paranormal field and honestly a couple of real nutcakes as well.
These guys may be the best example I've met yet of an idea the GBPA has always tried to follow;
If you're not having fun you're doing it wrong!
We're doing quite afew ParaCons nowadays and the one thing that always enjoy is meeting new folks and seeing old friends that we don't see any where near often enough!
Most recently was the Witch City ParaFest hosted by Ellen MacNeil and Lucky Belcamino, and at the tables right next to ours were Danny Perez and Dan Klaes. great guys and always fun to hang out with. Also below you see a couple of pictures from the Gettysburg Battlefield Bash where Don hooked up with Scott Porter and Stephanie Burke, as well as seeing two old friends and two of the best in our field in Mary Jo Chudley and Chris Sanders.

As you know we've visited the so-called Conjuring House several times now and had some unexplainable experiences there. But it's pretty safe to say that nobody has had the experiences in that house that our good friend Andrea Perron has had... |

You've heard plenty about Kindred Spirits visiting us aboard Salem, but not long ago Don was a guest on Amy Bruni's Haunted Roads podcast and we're expecting Amy and Adam to visit us again soon. Great exposure for the ship but really, really nice people and we had a great time during their visit!

We've been lucky enough to work with some of the biggest names in the YouTube world and a couple of them have become good friends of the gang. You may have heard of Exploring with Josh, he's only got about 4.5 million subscribers, and Josh Yozura has become a good friend of the GBPA. He's visited with us several times now and we always enjoy the craziness he brings with him!
We worked with Kelly Haroules as members of another group years ago and I can actually say we were together for some of my most unsettling paranormal experiences. Now Kelly and her husband Phil McRae have formed their own crew and hooked up with Riseup Paranormal. You can check them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/mcraeparanormal or at their group's website; http://www.mcraeparanormal.com/
Ron Kolek is well known in this area as New England's Van Helsing. We've had the pleasure of working with Ron's group, the New England Ghost Project on a couple of very memorable evenings, one at the Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse and again at the Old Manse in Concord, MA. While he's an instructor in Paranormal CSI at North Essex Community College, he'd be the first to tell you that like everyone else in this arena he's a student as well.
Don De. has been a guest on Ron's radio show, The Ghost Chronicles.

Joe & Linda Dantonio have been friends for years and I've joined their East Ghost Paranormal gang on a couple of mini-hunts. East Ghost is not only seeking the same answers we all are, but can also be counted on whenever a good cause is looking for help, they're very involved in http://www.paranormalforpaws.com/ and numerous others. Drop by https://www.facebook.com/EastGhostParanormal,
give them a "Like" and let Joe & Linda know where you heard about them.

I graduated from Quincy High with Patty Lambert but it was only afew months ago I became aware of our shared interest in the paranormal.
We’ve yet to actually work together but one of these days…

The Paranormal Warriors
Afew years ago while giving ghost tours aboard USS Salem I met Deb Carmone and Cyndi Mattison from the Paranormal Warriors out of Providence. We’ve been fortunate enough to work with Cyndi numerous times since then and are still hopeful about the rest of the Warriors....
You can check them out for yourself on Facebook at; https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/113806758664496/ or on the web at http://paranormalwarriors.wix.com/main
Another good friend of the GBPA is the infamous Ghost Boy of Geneseo, Chris DiCesare. Chris is the author of numerous books on the paranormal, and his own experiences have been well documented, most notably on SyFy Channel's "School Spirits". Cyndi Mattison and Don De. were fortunate enough to be guests at SUNY Geneseo on the 30th anniversary of Chris's experiences there.
The Hurricane and Don met up with Chris recently at Fort Mifflin and it's always a pleasure to see him!
For Halloween this year and beyond a new attraction has come to the USS Salem, and that attraction is Ghost Ship Harbor. A collaboration between Jason Egan (creator of Fright Dome Las Vegas) and Immersive Production’s Matt DiRoberto, Ghost Ship Harbor offers the screams of a haunted house attraction with a taste of the actual paranormal activity at one of New England’s most haunted locations.

Sam Baltrusis is a best selling author of books about the paranormal, and well known resource for those interested in the paranormal history of the greater Boston area.
We were fortunate enough to work with Sam on Ghost Ship Harbor in October of 2016 and have worked together many times since.
Suzanne and Don have been radio and TV guests of Sam's and the GBPA has been a proud sponsor of his MassParacon for the last few years.

Most of those in the paranormal field are familiar with the ladies of Paranormal Xpeditions.
They've branched out a bit as Matt Warner (as in Warner Paranormal) has become part of the mix, but they're still at the top of their game and we're happy to call them friends. You can find them at http://paranormalxpeditions.com/ |
We've met alot of great folks through our paranormal endeavors, but I'm not sure anyone stacks up to Ken DeCosta of RiseUp Paranormal when it comes to running an organization like a pro.
We haven't done alot of work with Ken, although he was good enough to set aside an evening at the Paine House Museum, and has always been there when we were looking for advice.
While they're about investigations, you can always count on Riseup to take part in a charitable event for a good cause.
This is a top notch outfit and I'm really proud to call them friends.

We've been fortunate enough to spend time with Jack Kenna, Ellen MacNeil, Carly Hall and the S.P.I.R.I.T.S. of New England crew several times now and are looking forward to more joint adventures in the not too distant future!
Jack is a well known TV personality and author, and along with the rest of the S.P.I.R.I.T.S. gang is an excellent example of the paranormal field done right. They're serious about their investigations and more importantly their clients, but are crystal clear on why we all got into this stuff in the first place.
