Our Team of Volunteers
Jennifer Batchelder
Psychic Medium
I have been experiencing the paranormal since I was about three years old. Now, with the encouragement of family and friends, I'm using these gifts to assist those in need of help with the paranormal.
​
As a former award-winning, high-performing Pharmaceutical Representative, I begin each client situation with a clinical bend, combining research and data with my own intuition.
​
Bonded and insured as a former educator in the Maine public schools, and for past employment in the financial sector, I work to build trust with each client, strengthened with every correct "hit" (proven intuitions).
I have deep respect for spirit and find joy in helping those who seek understanding, enlightenment and resolve around their paranormal encounters.

Equipment Director
I've been investigating spirits for over a decade. Originally I was a skeptic, using my video and audio production knowledge to try and explain how 'evidence' was created or even faked. Then one of my longtime friends lost his father and began experiencing phenomena that he couldn't explain. He eventually wrote a book about his contact with his Dad's sprit and we began doing some tests. I started noticing things that I could not explain; lights being manipulated on demand; unexplained noises and eventually a full on poltergeist experience with some objects being aggressively moved by no seen force.
Since then I've invested in a number of pieces of paranormal sensing equipment and have investigated close to a dozen sites, amassing some very interesting and unexplainable evidence and I have developed a sensitivity to paranormal presence. I am experienced with Mel Meters, the SB-7 Spirit Box, the Ovilus III, REM Pods, digital audio recorders (for gathering EVPs) and night vision video cameras. I seek out communicating with the deceased and avoid seeking out demonic or evil entities. I treat spirits with respect and curiosity and never provoke.
I'm look forward to any opportunities to investigate and to work with Lilac City Paranormal.

Aside from many decades in the technology, education and wedding industries, I've enjoyed many opportunities to explore creative passions and a strong spiritual side. I've have always felt deeply connected to nature with a sense of curiosity and awe around the energy of all things. I have believed from a very young age in the concept of the spirit energy that continues on when a soul passes from earth; and have experienced countless unexplainable moments of "coincidental" thoughts, feelings and events to believe any other way.
My personal paranormal experiences have ranged from hearing midnight historical conversations with no one else present, to the apparition of a soul I knew nothing of until the next day, and visions during end-of-life reiki "seeing" details I could not have known, but later discovered were real people, places and events.
​If everything in life could be explained with logic, there would be no inventions, no questions, no curiosity for what lies beyond. But, there is always the hope for more...
Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow.”

The paranormal is not something that I would ever say I’ve been overly curious about. Far too many times in life the vail of normal and explainable occurrences happens. It has been those type of happenings that have been far more than flute chance that I’ve lived with. With the frequency of happenings in cycles lead me to the field of technology where the US Army blessed me with a near engineering level degree, an AS in Computer Information Science, BS in Business and finally a Masters in Cybersecurity. The use of technology has been a focus to try and explain and disprove that which on the surface can’t be explained that occurs so frequently at times. Yet when science and tech fail to prove or disprove in many of the cases you must consider what is left as the possibility, paranormal is real. Over the past 40 plus years I’ve had the opportunity of exploring here in the US and across the Atlantic while stationed in Germany. At times I have had the intense gut feeling to go to a location for unknown reasons to explore and discover what can be found. Many of those exploration lead to some neat and sometimes scary discoveries. Far too many tales of the unexplainable have been cataloged in my memory and it is time to use those for better means than quaint tales told by a campfire. Being part of LCP is just the next step in exploring and helping others to understand and live with that they cannot logically fit into the normal scope our reality.

Social Media Assistant ~ Investigator
Growing up in a small Maine town my whole Life, I met Jenn during my high school varsity theater days, A lover of the arts, I was also part of the chorus. My love for the paranormal stems from my younger years watching a multitude of related television shows with my older brother and twin sister. This is the first paranormal group I've had the chance to be involved with and I'm extremely excited to lend aid to those who need it. As an empath, I place myself in the shoes of the people I am helping to better understand their feelings and needs. Having had both sentimental and frightening personal experiences with the paranormal also helps feed into my desire to help; whether it be helping someone pass on or aiding a family in peril.
Amanda Edwards
Merchandising Specialist ~ Investigator
I have been interested in the paranormal for as long as I can remember. I am so fascinated by the energy that remains when one passes.
​
I have a very strong intuition & can read people/spirits easily.
​
My most profound investigations to date have been an overnight at The Conjuring House (very friendly, eager-to-please spirits there!) & a trip to the Edith Wharton House (which is filled with lots of spirits).
I am looking forward to many more investigations.
I’m also in the beginning stages of studying to become a Death Doula. It would be an incredible honor to help people cross over with dignity & joy.

I was fortunate to grow up in a household where the concept of the paranormal was not ridiculed or denounced. Both of our parents had either experienced the paranormal firsthand, or knew family members that had experiences. Consequently, my sister and I grew up with the sense that the paranormal was likely a reality. However, from my years working as an administrative professional, I also realized that proof and verification are necessary to validate a theory. My sister and I received that validation on the battlefield at Gettysburg in 2001. It was there that we had conducted our first evp session. When we received replies to our inquiries, it was incredibly exciting to finally prove what we had believed since we were children. Spirits do walk among us.”
