Who We Are

Charity Bahr

Co-Founder, Investigator and Researcher

Always hailing from the Midwest, Charity had s shorter trip than Michelle to get to South Dakota (approximately 16 hours of drive time) Starting a very young age of reading Stephen King, Hans Holzer and every book she could get her hands on about ghosts, cryptids and the paranormal – Charity knew there was something different about what she wanted to do with her life.

Sometimes “reality” intervenes and ties you down to the conservative world – and following your heart in your hobbies just moves to the wayside. Fortunately, a series of events brought her to South Dakota and in that move – her whole world changed.

When Ghost Hunters first aired on tv – that was a moment that hit home. “Holy moly you can actually DO THIS for REAL???” Seeing the amount of time and energy different groups she followed put into researching and understanding each and every investigation was an inspiration. The love of history and knowing the why and how of each place began to be her “niche”

Meeting Michelle was a catalyst moment that sparked the real interest in maybe making a “paranormal group” a real thing. Finding another person with her deep-seeded love for the paranormal, history and trying to understand the universe opened up a new world of thought.

Charity has some abilities that have opened up since doing investigations, including being  Clairsentient and a bit of Claircognizance. But she leaves the heavy-duty psychic mediumship to Michelle.

Michelle Coley

Co-Founder, Investigator and Psychic Medium

Originally from the East coast – Michelle had a pretty diverse and wild ride to getting here to South Dakota! When she finally arrived, the click happened and she realized that something she had been interested in her whole life could be an actual reality.

As a child, Michelle knew she had very empathic ability but then things started happening that went beyond that. One day out with her Mother visiting a family members gravesite, she heard a message. She started trying very hard to not walk over the actual gravesites. When her Mother asked why?

“The people told me they don’t like it”  That was a turning point in her young life, but at the time she tried very hard to push those gifts aside. Like Charity, at that time in that area – things like that weren’t as widely accepted. But she still was a horror nerd and loved all things paranormal.

Fast forward to the opportunity she received to take a job in South Dakota. Pretty far cry from the warm weather and beautiful seas of the Caribbean where she was currently living. But something told her to come. To uproot her family and make the big change. That change led to meeting Charity and the rest is history.

Michelle has been able to fine-tune her abilities and be able to become the piece of GWP that can better sense, talk and see beyond this world.
