About Mike:

Mike has had experiences of the paranormal most of his life. Starting at a very young age of 5 when he saw his first spirit/ghost of a little girl appearing in his bedroom when he lived in Upstate New York.  Mike had other occurrences through his life that happened but nothing like the two he had in 1994 in Melbourne, Florida.

This event became a life changing experience for Mike and put him in the direction to seek out answers about the Afterlife.  From those experiences they fueled his passion to learn more about the paranormal field.

In 2006 Mike joined a Paranormal Investigating Team in Middle Tennessee with his wife Monique. During that time he learned the various ways of investigating and to be able to help others understand what they might be experiencing. Mike has been investigating the Paranormal since 2006 and has worked with various paranormal teams in the Middle Tennessee area. After working with the teams and learning various techniques investigating the Paranormal, Mike started his own team in the spring of 2009 known as Volunteer State Paranormal Research. During those years of paranormal investigating he has investigated throughout the state of Tennessee, Kentucky and parts of Alabama. Some well-known haunted places like Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky, Sloss Furnace, in Birmingham, Alabama, Octagon Hall, Franklin, KY, Rippavilla Plantation, Spring Hill, TN and Many other areas of Middle Tennessee.

He was nominated in 2009 By the International Paranormal Acknowledgement Awards for National Male Paranormal Investigator and best in Spirit Photography. Mike won for Best in Spirit Photography in 2009 by the International Paranormal Acknowledgement Awards. Mike has been a guest on various Paranormal Internet Radio shows, seen on the TV show ” America’s Most Terrifying Places “, on TRAVEL CHANNEL ,TV show “Tennessee Crossroads” on PBS in Tennessee ,that featured the VSPR team investigating the Rippavilla Plantation in Spring Hill, TN, was guest for CAFEMOM.COM magazine, has guest spoke at various events in Middle Tennessee, and has been  published in paranormal magazine   VISIONS  and Un-X NEWS about his paranormal experiences.

Paranormal Spirit Communication Event with:

Mike Sears and Volunteer State Paranormal Research

Have you ever wondered how to communicate with lost loved ones?

Have you ever wondered if they were trying to communicate with you?

Do you feel spirits but not see them?

Do you think it might all just be your imagination?

You are not alone! Many people experience these exact same feelings. Volunteer State Paranormal Research has brought peace of mind to many who experienced unusual activity after a loved one has passed, and also helped validate the abilities of a number of psychics and mediums in the Nashville area.

In this class, we will discuss paranormal spirit communication–the many ways you can communicate with spirits and explain several ways in which they try to communicate with us.

Mike Sears will introduce everyone to how spirit communication is utilized in paranormal research, the equipment used, and share some of the communications that Volunteer State Paranormal Research has encountered during their many investigations in the Middle Tennessee Area.

The class will include an open ITC session (Instrumental Trans-communication) using the Ovilus and Spirit Box to make a connection. We will attempt to connect with loved ones or whomever the audience requests. (We cannot make any guarantees, but have been able to make connections during past events.)

Due to limited seating (25 people), we must ask you to pre-pay at Cosmic Connections to reserve your seat for this event.
