Episode 105 - Founder of Soul Sisters Paranormal, Kristy Sumner

In 2014, Dr. Kristy Sumner coupled her passion for travel, history and the paranormal to form Soul Sisters Paranormal, an all-female team, made up of Sumner, her two sisters and two friends. As a team of 5 investigators, Soul Sisters Paranormal traveled to some of the most historic, and haunted locations in the U.S.  This was to determine for themselves if spirit activity does exist, and to highlight the rich history of each location. The team has traveled and investigated numerous locations, to include:  the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum (WV), The Lizzie Borden House (MA), the Villisca Ax Murder House (IA), the St. Augustine Lighthouse (FL), Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary (TN) and many others. In 2020, Soul Sisters Paranormal moved to a two-investigator format, with Kristy and her twin sister, Dr. Jenny Sumner, conducting the paranormal investigations. As a two-person team, they've investigated the Attala County Jail (MS), the Old Southern Funeral Home (MS), the Grand Old Lady Hotel (NC), the Hamilton County Jail (FL) and the USS North Carolina (NC).  In 2021, Kristy and her friend, Miranda Young, co-founded a company named “History, Highways, and Haunts, LLC” which is operated out of the historic and haunted Historic Scott County Jail in Huntsville, TN. Prior to forming Soul Sister Paranormal, Kristy, who holds a PhD in Public Affairs with an emphasis on Criminal Justice, was a senior director for a Registered Traveler company focused on biometric clearances for the traveling public, she was a senior consultant for a biometric credentialing company, and she was college professor at Metro State College of Denver and the University of Central Florida. Jenny, who also holds a PhD in Public Affairs, is currently a director at the University of Central Florida. It's always a great time chatting with Kristy about the paranormal and her experiences. I'm thankful she stopped by A Juicy Pear Podcast, and look forward to her coming on the show again.
