Gary S. Hawkins

     Gary S. Hawkins is a professional paranormal investigator who has been involved with "ghost hunting" since 1994. 

During those years he has also taken thousands of people on haunted

history tours of Alton, Illinois, while affiliated with Antoinette’s Haunted History Tours in Alton Illinois,

(Alton’s FIRST and BEST ghost tours).  He has a Doctor of Philosophy degree in religion

and possesses a  unique psychic ability. 

      In Early 1994, Gary Hawkins went on his first "official" paranormal investigation, that was when he discovered the unique

ability that he has, that ability was to be able to catch a spirit or ghost with his bare hands and keep it immobilized, They

stay immobile until he lets them go.  "As long as I have my hands on a spirit, it can not move".  Since that time, he has

"caught" countless ghosts and most of the time those around him are able to feel and sense them also. 

          As somewhat of a scientific explanation as to how Gary Hawkins is able to "catch" a spirit with his bare hands, "spirits are energy,

and somehow I am able use my sixth sense, specifically in the area of touch, to adjust my electrical energy in such a way

that it acts like a magnet when I place my hand on them, and they can not move until I let go or change my energy again

so that they can relocate".  To this date, he has not encountered, or heard of anyone else who could do this.

He conducts classes and lectures on ghost hunting and has also appeared on television, radio and most recently a

documentary on ghosts and ghost hunting produced by KHQA TV in Quincy, Illinois.

Gary Hawkins has recently shot a pilot for a new television series,
