Betty Dupont
Assistant Director
Mother of 3 sons, wife, full-time employed; enjoys family time, cooking, boating, reading, research, exploring and living in the beautiful state of Vermont.
My paranormal journey began as a young woman living in Exeter, NH where the apartment I rented in an old Victorian home turned out to be occupied by more than just myself. The strange events that occurred at this time in my life spurred a lifelong curiosity of the unknown and a quest for the truth. I approach each case in a practical manner but am also compassionate to those who are dealing with circumstances beyond their control and need help. The PI-NE team who I have been fortunate to be a part of is more than a just a group of people looking for similar answers; it has become a second family. To be part of a team that I am proud to be with has made and continues to make my personal journey more rewarding as we continue to work towards a common goal which is ultimately to help our clients in every way possible by scientifically documenting abnormalities.
Jason Engel
Reserve Investigator
Husband, and father of 2 wonderful boys! My interests include: Music, both listening and playing guitar, piano, and singing, hiking, camping, reading, and spirituality. I also am interested in science, especially quantum physics and the relation of both the scientific and spiritual points of view. My interest in the paranormal started at an early age when I had a UFO encounter at age 7. I woke up on Christmas Eve to a ball of light outside my window that was stationary and then flew up towards the sky.
Over the course of my life I have had many paranormal experiences ranging from UFO encounters to spiritual phenomena. My experiences led to a passionate interest in the paranormal field, and many amateur investigations. I am happy to be a member of PI-NE and to be professionally investigating the paranormal with such a great team. My personal approach is a mixture of science and spirituality, as I feel that both are valid when considering the paranormal. While investigating, my approach is as neither a skeptic or "believer" but from a neutral standpoint to ensure that the truth of any experience, whether natural or paranormal, be discovered. My goals as an investigator are to help any clients who are having experiences, as well as to search for the true nature and meaning of the paranormal.

Mike Mannings
Training Coordinator
I have been a resident in Chittenden County area here in Vermont going on 17 years and loving every minute. I was born in and lived in the Western Mass. area for most of my childhood except for four years where I lived in Texas. I was always taking my summer vacations here at my grand parents home and decided to finally move here. I like hiking, bicycling, motorcycle riding, and also I am a RPM (club music) DJ, and I also enjoy writing.
My interests in the paranormal began as an early in my childhood were I lived in homes that did have activity. After had many experiences over the years and doing a lot of research I began investigating at first by myself and then with three people I trusted. I would be contacted by people who knew me and most of the people I have helped over the years have been referred to me by word of mouth. I would say that residential investigations are were I thrive as those are the cases I became involved with early on.
Pam Hogan
Case Manager
I am a mom of 4 fantastic kids who also works full-time in my other career. I’ve spent the past 12 years traveling and living in Ethiopia and Jamaica, as well as numerous areas of our United States.
I grew up in a home with paranormal activity, which included shadows, eerie feelings that you’re being watched, music that could be heard from outside when nobody was home, and apparitions. As a young adult I also had a run in with a shadow person while rooming with a family in California. The feeling of someone standing over my bed was strong enough to wake me from a dead sleep and chase this “person” from my room – flip on the light switch and nobody was there. Both events left me wondering what happened and why were these things happening around me? The need to know more drove me to join this fantastic group so I could find out first hand what other people were experiencing and help them and myself find an answer to how and why these events occur. We may never find out, but for me it’s fascinating to explore from both a scientific and spiritual outlook. While a great deal of activity has a logical answer, there are also many occurrences that have no natural explanation.

Web Administrator/Project Coordinator
Stay at home mother of 2 wonderful boy's, wife; I like to write poetry and taking adventures with my family.
My interest in the paranormal started at the age of 12 at a home I use to live to in. Many things happened to where I could not explain such as voices in the closet of a young girl humming twinkle twinkle little star and door handling giggles when nobody is behind them. After living there for only 6 months we decided to move. Only after we moved did we find out that we weren't the only people to stay and moved due to activity. It was this experience that has always given me the drive to want to know more.
