KEN FYNN, INVESTIGATOR AND CASE MANAGER - FRASER VALLEY
Born and raised in Vancouver, Holly has long had a keen interest in the paranormal. This was sparked by two unmistakable encounters at a young age. There is a never ending curiosity about what connects us with the other side. Holly became an investigator in 2009 and feels fortunate to be able to share this activity with her husband Ken.
Despite her belief in the paranormal, Holly maintains a healthy scepticism during investigations. The evidence must be absolutely unmistakable to be believed as paranormal. While she appreciates the opportunity of investigating historical locations, she finds a particular satisfaction in helping clients who believe they are experiencing activity in their homes or businesses.
HOLLY FYNN, INVESTIGATOR AND CASE MANAGER - FRASER VALLEY
Born and raised in Langley BC, Nikki has always lived in the lower mainland, and now resides in Surrey. Nikki has been interested in the paranormal since she was a little child when an elderly woman would come and sit in her room at night and sing to her, comfort her. As Nikki grew into adolescence, the paranormal activity around her grew in frequency and intensity. At this time, she was also introduced into the metaphysical realm. This is when she found out for sure about her “sensitivities” and telekinesis.
By the time she was a young adult, she had already experienced so much relating to the paranormal, both good and bad. Nikki comes with a resume that includes working with various investigative paranormal teams and brings with her the knowledge learnt with each one. Every place Nikki has lived, she has had ghosts follow her. Things will be moved around, sounds made, unexplainable happenings, being touched and even on occasion she will actually see her visitors.
Despite all of her personal experiences, she faces every moment as a skeptic first. She will never assume that anything happening is paranormal, no matter how weird it may seem. When Nikki isn’t expanding her knowledge of the mysterious and unknown, you can usually find her at a coffee shop or the beach with a coffee and a good book. Her other hobbies include 8-ball, photography, videography, poetry, readying, collectibles and enjoying nature.
Nikki is also very close to her supportive family for who she can’t thank enough for all the love and guidance they have given her throughout the years. When the opportunity came for Nikki to become Co-Founder of Northern Paranormal Investigations, she knew it was the right thing for her to be doing and is happy to be living one of her dreams.

Bev moved to the Vancouver area at a very early age. She has always been aware of her special abilities to see, hear, smell and sense things, which others do not seem to be aware of. Raised in a family where such things, to say the least, were not encouraged, she quickly learned to suppress them. Later in life during times of spiritual turmoil and then again of spiritual learning, such abilities were still deemed, by others, not appropriate. It was not until Bev, Mike and family moved into a house that contained more than just the living, that it forced open the doors for discussion. Bev now enjoys meeting like-minded people and the journey to explore the fullness of her abilities. She considers herself to be a sensitive and with many years in the paranormal field. Bev continues to help both NPI and it's clients understand the unknown.
BEV BURNS, INVESTIGATOR
Mike is a Vancouver born and raised lad with a lifelong passion for things mechanical and electronic. An early fascination with science and science fiction and exploring new environments, led him to become part of a group of the youngest certified scuba divers in Canada. Researching and locating old ghost towns, metal detecting and gold prospecting are just some of the outcomes of his always curious, always learning mind. A sceptic by nature, but definitely not a closed minded one, he favors the more scientific methods of evidence collection. Designing, building or modifying detection equipment allows him to continue the quest for evidence that is, frankly, beyond normal.

NIKKI PETERSON, CO-FOUNDER & CASE MANAGER
Mike was born and raised in “Supernatural” British Columbia, Canada. That’s right, while currently living in the Cloverdale community of Surrey, there aren’t many parts of BC that he hasn’t seen and that hasn’t shaped him into the man he is today. Mike’s interest in the paranormal stems from growing up to the likes of Ghostbusters and Scooby Doo, so it was only natural that he would one day become a paranormal investigator. In addition this fascination of that which can’t not be explained by science, he also has an equally satisfying interest and active hobby in photography. Mike is completely self-taught, aside from one year in high school that he almost failed because he couldn’t develop a roll of film. Mike likes to think outside the box and go by his own set of rules. He also likes to take that same approach to investigating the paranormal, which makes him a great addition to the NPI team. As for the nickname? Well you’ll just have to ask him that story yourself.
