Ghosts, spirits, haunts, paranormal, supernatural, sci fi, the bizarre and unexplainable...that sort of thing! You know, the stuff that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up...but you're not really sure why.
Music
RIP Kevin Duckworth of the Trailblazers. The video clip below is for you. Died at age 44 on the Oregon Coast.
I enjoy watching American Idol. I was known as the "queen choir geek" in high school, performing in a sixteen member mixed vocal ensemble and an all female group as well.
I love ALL kinds of music. Seriously, if I can sing along I probably love it. Below is just a small sample of some songs I enjoy. I prefer to listen to it full blast. LOL.
Movies
Ghost Adventures, the RAW documentary, is pretty phenomenal. I would recommend it to everyone...skeptics especially! It really makes you stop and think, and they host awesome live events. Plus, they are really nice guys. Don't mess with my boys, or I will rough you up, m'kay? LOL. My team A1 and I always represent big love for GAC. You down with G A C? Yeah you know me! I also love movies like What Dreams May Come and What Lies Beneath. White Noise and White Noise 2, anything with vampires, the classics like The Goonies and Pee Wee's Big Adventure, and the movies like Labyrinth and Dark Crystal.
Television
Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, Fringe, Dead Famous, Supernatural, Moonlight, Paranormal State, Americas Next Top Model, American Idol, Mindfreak, X Files, Charmed, Alias, Extreme Makeover Home Edition, Life, House, CSI Las Vegas, Smurfs, David Blaine, Bones, Angel, and YES- I admit I like Ghost Whisperer. Here's my big confession...I totally miss the series' Tour of Duty, Firefly, and High Mountain Rangers. LOL.
Books
The Psychic in You is a great read. Also love anything by John Edward. And, I enjoy Eldon Thompson as well as Michael Laimo. Both really awesome guys. You can find both of these gentlemen in my friends. If you want to read a book on just about anything paranormal in Nevada, stop by Janice Oberding's page. She is also in my top friends. One of the neatest and nicest ladies on the planet. You'll love the books, trust me.
Heroes
Until recently, I had said I was hero-less. I think everybody who is plugging away at this crazy thing we call life is a hero in many ways. And I try to remember that one person's hero is somebody else's weirdo. But today, I realized that the true unsung heroes are the men and women of this country's military who are putting their lives on the line every day and night for the freedom and safety my family enjoys. Much respect to the armed forces. Anybody who puts themselves out there selflessly to benefit someone else, expecting nothing in return- those people are my heroes.

The PIT (Paranormal Interest Team) is a group of individuals who have an interest in the paranormal. Some are investigators affiliated with other teams, some are individuals with an open mind and a curiosity about things that can't always be explained. A1 Paranormal Interest Team is an offshoot of this bigger group. There are only five members of A1- myself, Stacy, Mike, Kelly, and Deb. My name is Tara. I started the PIT. Some people call me "T". GAC calls me "Little G". I have a three year old daughter. I work for the state of Oregon as a case manager and domestic violence point person, and I am currently doing some member services stuff for Ghost Adventures. I have a degree in Psychology specializing in grief counseling. I operate a small photography studio, and I volunteer for a variety of organizations including the American Cancer Society; Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep bereavement photography; the American Child Photographers Charity Guild, and an Oregon wolf sanctuary. I work with the police department's DVRT (domestic violence response team). And, I am fascinated and intrigued by the paranormal. I would like to network with other people who share that interest. Skeptics are welcome here, as long as they come with their minds open. The rule here is respect. Everyone's opinions are welcomed as long as they are shared respectfully.
A bit about my sign...LOL. Scorpios are known for their intense and powerful natures. They are willful, proud, and calm with an electrifying undercurrent of seething intensity. Purposeful and animated with force, they project a magnetic personality. Scorpio does nothing in half measures. An all or nothing attitude permeates their entire life. When fixed on something or someone, the scorpio perseveres. Scorpio never settles. Life is meant to be lived to the fullest or not at all. Scorpio will rarely be found in the center of activity, but will always know just what is going on of concern to him. Their tenacity and willpower are enviable, their depth of character and passionate conviction admirable, but it is their deep sensitivity that makes them the best and most loyal friend. This same quality makes them the most treacherous of enemies. When they harness their abundant energy constructively, their self-confidence tempered with shrewdness, and their ambition coupled with generosity toward others, they excel at whatever they undertake. Scorpios are demanding of others, but never ask someone to do what they would not do themselves. They can be fanatically focused and work till they drop.
