Probationary: Patrick (Big Trick)

"I want to believe there is something else out there after death, but I have to see it to believe it."

Patrick Sharkey grew up on Long Island. He was always interested in the paranormal and as a kid would go over to the Satan Trails in Mt. Sinai where he would encounter a man usually chasing him off the property. In 2005 he began watching all the new paranormal shows; Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, Paranormal State etc. After seeing theses shows his interest in the paranormal grew and he and his little brother along with some friends would often go to cemetery's and haunted hotels to try and experience something. Although he never had an experience his love for the paranormal grew larger and he wanted to join a group. He applied to LIPRI in December of 2009 and first met with Noah and Thelma in Jan 2010 where he asked questions for 2 hours on the paranormal. He soon became a member of LIPRI and hopes that being in the group brings him closer to his ultimate goal of finding some evidence of the paranormal. Besides the paranormal Patrick is in school at Suffolk County Community College where he is trying to become an addiction therapist. Patrick also trains in Mixed Martial Arts.
