We are proud to announce that on her many investigations, Tara Normal will be using bags and gear created by Anomalie Paranormal. Anomalie was created by Brian Stephenson and Kristyn Gartland.
From the company’s Myspace:
Anomalie is dedicated to the unknown. We are professional investigators and we know the paranormal is not a hobby but a lifestyle! When you chose an Anomalie bag, you are choosing a bag designed by professionals. When you are searching for the unknown Anomalie has your back! Anomalie, anything but normal.
Brian Stephenson and Kristyn Gartland met while she was teaching her Paranormal 101 class in Rhode Island. Both had ideas that would change their relationship forever. Brian is about be the proud father of a beautiful baby girl. He has a long back ground in marketing. Kristyn has a back ground in law enforcement and for the last 5 years has been a regular on the Sci-Fi original series Ghost Hunters. She is also a proud parent of a soon to be 13 year old, god help her! Both were tired of carrying a ton of equipment in pockets, shirts and just plain unsafe bags. And so began Anomalie Bags!!!! Not just partners, but friends!!

We here at TaraNormal.com are lucky enough to have our first paranormal investigator interview with Kristyn Gartland, Ghost Hunters cast member and TAPS Case Manager. Kristyn is extremely well respected in the field of paranormal investigation and she teaches the highly regarded Paranormal 101 classes. She also has a hell of a throwing arm as I have seen her pelt a moving target with a cookie from several yards away. Kristyn and TAPS member Brian Stephenson created Anomalie to help investigators make carrying their equipment easier and far more effectively. Their first Anomalie event takes place on August 1st at the U.S. Hotel in Hollidaysburg, PA and I spoke to Kristyn about this event and more!

Q: As every reader of Tara Normal knows, I’m a big fan of the Anomalie brand. In each investigation, Tara wears and uses Anomalie gear. I know you and Brian have been working hard for the release of the first line of bags. When do you expect them to be on sale?

Kristyn: Hopefully we will put them on sale this week or next. We are taking pre-orders and shipping them right to you.

Q: How did you guys come up with the idea for creating Anomalie?

Kristyn: We were fed up with carrying all the equipment and shoving stuff in our socks!

Q: Your 1st Anomalie event is this weekend at the US Hotel in Pennsylvania. What inspired you to choose the location?

Kristyn: We had heard a ton of stories, we visited it and voila, our first Anomalie event.

Q: It sounds like a really creepy location to investigate but you guys are also holding several informative lectures as well. I know that you teach the Paranormal 101 class for TAPS. What do you think is an important tip for any new investigators starting out in the field?

Kristyn: Don’t do it because it’s on TV, do it because you love it and honestly care about people and helping them. Read, read and read. Come to Paranormal 101 to learn more of course. There is only 1 original Paranormal 101 you know…

You can find out more about Paranormal 101 classes at Kristyn’s website http://www.blackcloudabove.com. It is amazing chance to learn so much about the field.

Anomalie’s website http://www.anomalieparanormal.com/ features all of the information for the August 1st event and guests as well information on the gear!

As you know on every case Tara Normal uses Anomalie brand investigation gear. Anomalie’s website has been updated with the specs and features of their first bag, the Paratrooper Pack. I’ve been told the bags are close to being released! We’ll keep you updated!
