The Team
Christie established the Paranormal Moms Society, aka PMS, with seven other women in Northlake, Illinois. The moms founded the group in 2007. All members have full-time jobs and families that they balance with their hobby of investigating the paranormal, which tends to be an all-night ordeal. They also spend weekends studying and analyzing hours and hours of footage, audio files, and EVP recordings.

All of this work and interest has led these women to become life-long friends while giving them a sense of purpose. Anytime they deal with a case that involves children or animals, they push it to the top of the pile. Christie Carpenter-Chaidez says, “It’s the mom in us.”
