Scott Christiansen
Scott Christiansen is very blessed to receive a National Congressional Leadership Award. With receipt of this award, he was also appointed to the Business Advisory Council of South Dakota & was named Honorary Chairman. This is an incredible honor. Very few people are hand selected by the United Stated Congress to receive this award. (When they presented Scott with this prestigious award, they also presented him with an actual Gavel used in Congress). As the US Congress does not recognize very many psychics, this speaks highly of Scott’s abilities and his integrity. In addition, the members of the Congressional Committee were so impressed with Scott’s track record and “down to Earth” business sense, that they also appointed him to the Business Advisory Council on the State level. To make their decision even more impressive, they then named Scott as Honorary Chairman of this Council. These combined honors , bestowed by the US Congress, highlight Scott’s leadership abilities as recognized on a national level.

No training required and anyone can go out and get themselves in trouble. There is no age limit set. Police will not arrest you for investigating if you are underage. Parents will not ground minors for doing the same. This has created an epidemic of people going out to ghost hunt and finding themselves in danger. No one warned them this was possible. No one explained the signs of danger before they found themselves in trouble. Even then, they weren’t sure what was going on. And it was too late by then......

Brian Leffler has been a paranormal investigator for many years now. Before that, he would have laughed at anyone telling him ghosts are real. Then, out of nowhere he moved into a house that provided him with a multitude of paranormal experiences that eventually cracked the hardened shell that is hard-nosed skepticism. He began to study the paranormal and became a paranormal investigator. Now Brian is an author, being published on the Internet, in Fate Magazine and his own book called "Ghosts: Minnesota's Other Natural Resource." He has done radio also and loves to conduct interviews with his peers in the paranormal field. Brian is also a public speaker and is a member of the Robbie Thomas Team and he hopes that you will be watching for the Robbie Thomas Tour to come to your location so that he will have a chance to meet his listeners. What he is most proud of are the advances that he has contributed to in the field of paranormal research such as finding proof that not all orbs are dirt but in fact, a small percentage of them are actually spirit related!
