They were both so intrigued byply suggestive thought or mass hysteria? We needed to find the answers for ourselves.That is how our mission Hunt the Truth was born.In 2014 we combined our organizations name and our mission statement together to simplify who we are and what we do. We are now called WPI Hunts the Truth.

They are out in the field at least 4x a month.ABOUT JAY BACHOCHINJay has been interested in the paranormal since he was old enough to hold an interest. Jay was raised on Creature Features back in the early 70's. He just loved "anything" that was supernatural. It wasn't until 1979 when he witnessed something paranormalfirst hand and saw the most amazing display of a well lit flying object above their house in Lindenhurst, IL. What did his brother, sister and my mom see that night? They couldall say it was a UFO, but until this day they still can't explain what we saw. However, itwas fascinating to watch these lights move in the night sky over a total of :20 minutes.Throughout Jay’s life he has experienced many different types of paranormal activity. Not all ghostly experiences but 'odd' to say the least. He’s experienced a 5 second black-out when he was 8 years old. The black-out didn't only happen to Jay at thattime, but also the friend he was with at the time. This 5 second black-out was the most bizzare thing he can recall from childhood. How can 2 people share the same blackout?Jay has witnessed many different unidentified flying objects near his hometown and his current residence over the years.During some of his investigating, he has experienced what some people would call a ghost. Not sure if it was a deceased person's spirit running through his body, or if there is something natural that we don't comprehend. Whatever it was charged him with staticelectricity, and made every hair on his body stand as tall as the Redwood National Forest yet was as cold as ice.Jay believes that we are not alone in our universe. Another race of alien beings? A greater force beyond comprehension? Worm-holes? Time scapes? Parallel universes?To arrange interviews, please contact the participants directly:Jay Bachochin, founder of WPI Hunts the Truth. To learn more about Jay visit his website http://wpihuntsthetruth.com/About the Paranormal MD Mary Marshall: Mary helped develop one of the first Paranormal Studies Program in the country that is taught at an institution for higher education at Harper College in Palatine, Illinois where she teaches paranormal studies classes.

In more recent years, other fields of science and technology have gained her attention as well. “Science and technology, and metaphysics and spirituality, are very connected; they complement one another.
