Client Testimonials

I truly don’t know where me and my family would be today if it wasn’t for the pure dedication of Shawn and his team! Almost 3 years ago now I found Shawn through a mutual friend and to say he was a lifesaver is an understatement. The apartment I had been living in with my 2 kids and my best friend was not the dream come true I thought it was going to be. About year after moving in there my son who is special needs and was pretty much non verbal at the time started to choke himself and say dead while pointing to the ceiling. My freezer door would fly open and food would be thrown across the room, my best friend was picked up and thrown across the room, half stars were carved into my door, banging on doors would happen all hours of the night, my once happy 6 year old daughter was now suicidal bc of the dreams she was having, toys would move on their own, lights would go crazy. I could go on and on about all the scary crazy things that happened! Before I found Shawn we had tried a couple other people and they only made it worse. I ended up packing my family up on day leaving all my stuff there and going to a motel for 2 weeks while I looked for another place to live. If only that was the end of it all... When we moved into our new house we had found Shawn and Bonnie shortly after and thank god we did! Things only got worse at that house. My daughters' dreams started again, we were being locked in rooms as doors slammed behind us leaving no other option but to climb out the window. Things were being thrown almost daily and that’s when Shawn brought it the cameras. After a couple of months something finally happened in the kitchen where one of the cameras were. I learned I have an attachment of a man who hurt me when I was just a child and he likes to invite nasty spirits in to hurt me and my family. There were no limits on how far Shawn has been willing to go to help me and my children and I will forever be great full for meeting him! I am now in a completely different house in a different town and while we have pick-ups of activity here and there we are almost back to our normal lives again! Well as normal as you can be with a son who can see, hear and talk to spirits and a best friend who through this journey has learned she is a medium as well. Without Shawn and his team, I don’t know where we would be today and I am truly blessed and thankful for them!

If it was not for Shawn and his team, my family and i would not have our sanity. Life got so rough that we were honestly thinking about uprooting everything and moving to get away from the fear of our own home. We worked countless hours to make our house a home to only have our lives destroyed by the things that inhabited it with us.

At first, the experiences were able to be brushed off as, electrical issues, the wind, etc. but after having my son, there was no doubt that something else was living with us. The unknown, constant fear and physical pain is what truly scared us.

Night after night, the baby would wake up screaming as if someone was hurting him, I would feel someone breathing down my neck, the TV and fire alarms would turn on and off, the radios would speak in a voice i have never heard, someone would constantly run around the house, and i would hear voices say, "kill me." With all of these experiences, it made it hard to sleep at night wondering who was in the closet staring at me. The presence became heavy not only at night, but the broad day light as well. It did not care the time of the day, or who was in the house. Our family refused to come to our home to visit us. I then started to feel the physical effects of whatever was living in my home. My back hurt, i had constant head aches as well. What was my very young son feeling that he could not share? It was time to make a change, it was time to get my home, my family and my sanity back.

At this point, it was time to seek help, professional help. Shawn was referred to us by a friend. His professionalism and genuine concern was unheard off. He insured us that we were not crazy. That what we were experiencing was real and that he could help. When he came to our home, we asked 1,000 questions about not only what he was doing, but what was going on. Every question was answered. He was never frustrated with our countless questions and stories. We finally felt heard. To watch him work and tell the story of our home was truly magical. We were even included in on the experience of crossing over the spirit that needed help in our home.

The end result of Shawn helping us was the return of our life. We finally had our home back, and our sanity. Not everything was able to be crossed over, but he has insured us that the spirits that remain are safe. The knowledge that he also shared helped us better understand. If we ever felt uncomfortable, the invite to call back is always open. Knowing that you are not a burden when needing help with something that is not a "normal" issue, is the best feeling. We can now sleep at night knowing that we are safe. If you are experiencing a similar situation, i highly recommend Shawn and his team!!! They take professionalism, concern and compassion to a whole new level.

I contacted Shawn and his team after the activity in our home had reached a level that left us petrified. Our 3-year-old was scared of her closet and was seeing hands reaching for her. We were also hearing footsteps, seeing shadows and I was being touched. Shawn did not hesitate and came out immediately to investigate. During our first meeting, a plan was made after a thorough walkthrough of our home. Before the date we had set for an investigation, my husband had to leave on business and all things went haywire. I called Shawn and he immediately came over to my home. He left blessed metals and was able to remove the entity from my home that day. Since then, everything has been peaceful, calm, and quiet. We have had no activity at all. The air in our home feels lighter and our daughter no longer fears her closet. I cannot thank him enough for the peace of mind and relief he has given our family.

Not long ago my family and I had a problem with a nasty spirit that we were having a hard time getting to leave , shawn was able to get rid of him rather quickly we are forever grateful thank you so much

Spirit walkers is legit they have come into our home and removed several spirits for 3 years Shawn has been coming out and removing them there were several spirits when we moved in our house is now spirit free thank you Shawn your services were well needed thank you for protecting my family i am a true believer in what you do and how you do it

Shawn was very professional from the start...setting up the appointment, confirming everything, and the whole process. When he was setting up his equipment he explained everything he was using....what it was, what it was used for, how it worked, and what it would do. I was just expecting some Paranormal people to come do their thing, see what they could find & then be done with it. Shawn & Bonnie are also mediums (which was something I was hoping for) and the things they came up with and were in tune with were unbelievable....things nobody else would know. They even made me feel like I was a part of it. I didn't tell them anything about this house or the people who passed in it & they were spot on with so many things.

I'm not gonna get into too much detail about everything because this would turn into a book. (If you want me to later I will). But one of the first things that happened I'm still amazed by is that when Shawn & Bonnie showed up we had to wait for my cousin (Paul) who had the key to the house to get there to let us in. Shawn asked if they could walk around the house until then so they could start getting feel for things. So we walked around to the back. Shawn goes up on the back porch & looks into the kitchen window & says there is a very strong presence in that room. He tries to open the back door & I said it's locked, that's why we have to wait for Paul to get here...to let us in. Shawn said whoever is in the kitchen is telling him it's unlocked & to come in. Then we go to the front of the house still waiting for Paul to come. I told Shawn we could bring the equipment & set it on the porch until Paul gets here. Well as Shawn is bringing the stuff up on the porch he goes towards the door & I told him again it's locked & we can't get in. He says again...whoever is in the house told me it's unlocked. Shawn goes to open the door & with no force at all the door fricken opens right up! Now this is a pad lock that has been put on the door, not a regular lock that's built into the door. I looked & the pad lock was still locked & connected. I still can't figure this one out but they definitely wanted us there. I think they needed to communicate with me as much as I did with them.
