Dan Smith(CXXVII)

After experiencing an intense haunting in his suburban Detroit home in 1995, Dan set out to find the truth about what his family experienced. As Director of H.O.P.E. Initiative, he runs a small research laboratory dedicated to spiritual studies in Cincinnati, Ohio. Always striving to deliver a better understanding of afterlife research to the public, Dan is part of a small group of researchers worldwide conducting controlled scientific research studies into the so-called "paranormal." (This is NOT as exciting as it sounds - like most science it is mostly failure.)

Being deeply involved with the study of Electronic Voice Projections, he has developed several systems for spirit communication with others at his laboratory. Dan also works as an advisor to researchers on how to properly conduct scientific studies. In addition to inventing and testing new equipment, he is passionate about finding and preserving the history of afterlife research.

Dan lives in Cincinnati, Ohio with his wife Becca, dog Tesla, and cat Schrodinger.
