Paranormal of Watertown

Dan Davis

One of the co-founders of Paranormal of Watertown, Dan always had an interest in the paranormal. From watching popular shows growing up, to experiencing it first hand in his own home. He did some paranormal investigating in his home as a young man with basic equipment and knowledge of the field. Taking those experiences and what he has learned over the years, Dan has helped organize this amazing team of investigators who share his passion for answers.

Derek Shoemaker

One of the co-founders of the group, Derek's fascination with the paranormal started at a young age. Watching shows such as Unsolved Mysteries and Beyond Belief, he quickly became a believer in things unknown. Later on as an adult, shows such as Ghost Adventures, peaked his interest even more, especially when it came to the investigations at creepy locations. Due to a tragic accident in 2018, Derek, Dan and Amanda attempted to reach a loved one who had passed on using investigation techniques that Dan had prior experience with. Derek became quickly obsessed with conducting paranormal investigations. Derek now carries out evidence review, video production, and manages our TikTok and Instagram accounts.

When Dan and Derek, formed the group she thought it was a perfect opportunity to expand her paranormal knowledge and experiences. She has had some terrifying experiences that have made her cry and some amazing ones with this group.
