Peta (Peet) Banks - Owner
Peet has always been a little different. She remembers being told by her parents how she used to scare them as a child, with her ability to know when the phone was going to ring and who it would be, and when a visitor was going to spontaneously drop in.
As a teenager and adult she was always fascinated with the paranormal, and finally decided to take the plunge and explore this world. Peet is naturally logical, which can sometimes be interpreted as skeptical - not that there's anything wrong with a bit of skepticism in this industry!
By day Peet is a policy officer/event manager for the NSW Government and a Justice of the Peace. She lives in 'the shire' with her partner, dog and cat.
Peet is the Event Organiser of the Australian Paranormal and Spiritual Expo. This yearly Expo is very popular, and is normally held around September/October of each year.

Glen Johnson - Core Team Technical Manager
Glen has always been the odd one in any situation, but this uniqueness has driven him through his early teen years and into his late twenties, developing a passion for Australian cryptozoology and the unknown along the way.
Over the last few years of exploring the paranormal, Glen has stuck to the motto “less is more”, focusing more on audio and digital anomalies, both pushing and questioning the limits of conventional methods.
Behind the tattoos Glen is a big softy, who is very much hands-on and isn’t afraid to share his knowledge with the paranormal industry, as well as being open to new ideas and theories.
Glen is the owner of Stand Alone Paranormal Products - a company which specialises in modified Infrared Video Cameras at very, very reasonable prices.
We are absolutely delighted to have Glen join our team as the tech manager – audio visual. Having worked with him many times over the past 12 months, we know how hard working, passionate and reliable he is. We very much look forward to continuing our journey with Glen at our backs.

Suzanne Eades - Core Team Paranormal Investigator
All her life, Suzanne has been fascinated by all things metaphysical and new-age, which has led her to obtain certificates in a range of topics from Dragonology and Lycanthropy to Numerology and Herbology.
Suzanne is a practising Pagan and has been on the administration boards of two successful web-site forums. She has regularly used Oiuja boards and Rune stones in communications and has just recently completed a Parapsychology Certificate Course.
In Suzanne's words:
"I love the dark the best and have no limitations on pushing myself into the unknown. I have had interest with the paranormal going as far back as I can remember but the first experience of being able to clairaudient was at an old church in my late teens. Since then I have added many experiences to my sheet ranging from voices and sensations to full apparitions. I have only just recently started delving into the paranormal investigation side of it and started it off with an overnight investigation with the wonderful APPI on the 27th March, 2013. I am an Engineer Draftsperson by trade but I am currently studying Mental Health, to which I hope to enter the youth/alcohol and drug sector."
Suzanne has a beautiful daughter who lives in the inner city, and she and her husband live in the Picton area.

Darrin Langbien - Core Team Paranormal Investigator/Photographer
Daz is one of those people who never has a camera out of his hand. If you see a photo on our website or Facebook page, you can pretty much guarantee that he took it.
Daz joined APPI on a ghost tour in January 2013, and so impressed Peet with his willingness to learn, assistance with anything we needed and rugged good looks (lol), that we just had to have him on the team!
Daz is our Paranormal Investigator slash photographer. He has an amazing sense of humour, and goes out of his way to involve himself in the group experiments - volunteering (or being volunteered for) many a task.
Daz lives in Penrith with his wife and love delving deeply into the science of the paranormal...

Lynda Watson - Core Team Paranormal Investigator
Lynda started in APPI by joining our tours. She came along to several tours and we began to get to know her.
Living in Canberra, it always came as a pleasant surprise to the team when she would show up. It showed her commitment to paranormal research, and her passion for ghost tours.
Lynda initially joined the team as a volunteer, and would come along when able to assist in our tours. Eventually her commitment and passion gave her the opportunity to become a full core team member, and it is very likely that you will see her on any upcoming tours that are held by APPI.
Lynda works in education and has a 19 year old son who laughs at her 'spooky stuff'.
