Senior Investigator: Kari Cousineau
Kari has been interested in the paranormal for as long as she can remember. Her early memories include hearing about a residual ghost in her parent’s former house, her grandfather appearing to her shortly after his death (when she was in the fifth grade) and friends sharing local ghost stories in middle school. When Kari was at St Cloud State University, she was interested in hearing about the alleged campus haunts. She also enjoyed exchanging books with her mom about various haunted locations. Kari has visited many haunted locations, locally as well as out of state, including Seattle's Underground City. Kari met Hawk on the Rochester Haunted Trolley Tour in Mantorville, October 2014, where she learned that Hawk offered Ghost Hunting classes through Rochester Community Ed.
Almost a year later, she had completed Haunted Ireland as well as GH 101 & 201. Kari was very excited to get the invitation to attend a GH301 class at the Mantorville Opera House in January 2016! In March she was invited to participate with the AHPI team in an investigation of the Kasson State Theatre. She has learned a lot from Hawk and former AHPI Investigator, Cindy, during the classes and investigations, which has made her even more interested in the paranormal. Following the Kasson State Theatre investigation, Kari was offered the opportunity to join AHPI as an investigator in training. On June 9, 2016 she added Edinburgh Manor (Scotch Grove, IA) to her list of investigations. She has also investigated the Villisca Ax Murder House, Mrs. B's Bed & Breakfast, the Chatfield VFW, the Mantorville Restoration House and Log House, Lemp Mansion, Farrar School, Prospect Place, The Squirrel Cage Jail, and Malvern Manor. In January 2017 she was offered a full-fledged position on the team with the title of Investigator. In March, 2019 she accepted the position of Senior Investigator. She looks forward to more adventures in ghost hunting!

Investigator in Training: Eva Kathmann
Eva has had an interest in the paranormal since she was a child, growing up in a family who was sensitive to the paranormal. Although some childhood experiences frightened her, she still sought out books, and people’s firsthand experiences. Medicine and science also caught her interest, and Eva discovered a love for research. She obtained a PhD in the BioMedical sciences. Despite being scientifically grounded in her thinking, she had no doubt from her personal experiences, that ghosts exist.
Eva saw Hawk’s GH101 class advertised in a 2018 fall community education email and knew she had to sign up! She took GH201 in May 2021. In June 2021 she attended GH301 at the Mantorville Restoration House and Log House. Her experience there was more than she expected it would be, and she really enjoyed the debunking session that followed the investigation. Eva was invited to investigate a business in Chatfield with the AHPI Team in April 2022. This was an opportunity for her to really observe and learn from Hawk and Kari. She participated in another GH301 class at the Mantorville Opera House in May 2022. When Eva was invited, in June 2022, to join AHPI as an Investigator in Training, she readily accepted. Since then, she had the opportunity to investigate her first "big" location, The Squirrel Cage Jail in Council Bluffs, Iowa in August 2022. She is looking forward to continuing to learn from the AHPI Team.
