TAPS Magazine Writer April Paige Slaughter

April is a long time paranormal enthusiast who began her journey into the unknown at the tender age of eight when her family moved into a home rife with activity. Unsatisfied by vague answers to her questions, April began to study various phenomena and was eventually inspired to pursue a career in the paranormal field. Her mentoring began under the direction of Chris and Nancy Peterson of the Utah Ghost Hunters Society in 2002 and she eventually went on to create and manage her own research team. Along with her investigative partner James Boley, the pair managed one of Utah's first paranormal organizations to research all areas of phenomena including hauntings, cryptozoology, psychical research, UFOs and more. April also joined forces with ‘Alien Dave’ Rosenfeld, Director of the Utah UFO Hunters (UUFOH) and became an active member of his organization. In 2006, April submitted her first article to TAPS Paramagazine (published by The Atlantic Paranormal Society and the SciFi Channel's Ghost Hunters), entitled The Haunting of Lehi Hospital. She was asked to continue writing for the publication as a staff journalist and also became the magazine's Customer Service Manager. April was presented with the opportunity to travel with Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson to represent the magazine at different events, also assisting with TAPS' merchandising and visiting some of the most famous haunts in the country. She moved with her twin daughters from Utah to Rhode Island to work in the magazine office in 2007.
