Staff Report
These Curious Times met The New
Reality investigation team last year
while investigating one of the most
haunted houses in Hollywood. Based
in southern California, they specialize
in clearing homes, and investigating
the supernatural. Between the two
Cody and Shawn have over 20 years
of experience in the supernatural and
have investigated over 100 properties.
“Shawn and I have been examining
paranormal cases for about ten years
now and have studied various forms of
investigations,” said co-founder Cody,
“We are both sensitives, but I am more
of an intuitive empath.”
Intuitive empaths are highly
sensitive people that can sense subtle
energies, emotions, and physical
symptoms from others and absorb
that energy into their own bodies.
It is often difficult for empaths to
distinguish someone else’s discomfort
from their own, which makes it a bit
tricky when investigating an alleged
haunted facility.
Shawn has been hosting
meditation groups for some time and
had a family member of Cody’s in one of
his workshops. The group had headed
down to a local lake for a time of inner
reflection and Cody had accompanied
his uncle to the class. “I saw Cody across
the lake and immediately felt drawn to
him. I knew right away that we were
going to work together,” Shawn noted.
After a few meditation groups,
Cody and Shawn decided to join
a meet up group and with their
first investigation at the Pasadena
Playhouse. “There was so much activity
in that place it really blew my mind,
the evidence we picked up was crazy,”
added Cody.
With this said you should know
that when TCTN first met this team,
it was an assumption that they were
biological brothers. According to
Cody,”From the very beginning, we
had a really good synergy. I would say
that we are closer than brothers. We
would go to investigative Meet-Ups
and we were the ones that captured
the spectral energy. It got to the point
that the members would follow us at
haunted sites. If there is such a thing
as destiny, then it is ours to work
together.”
Shawn’s childhood was chaotic
for many reasons. “I didn’t really know
what ‘normal’ was, but I have always
been drawn to the supernatural. I
remember going to the library as a
kid and searching for books on ghosts.
I didn’t know what being a psychic
medium was and couldn’t understand
what I was feeling when I would scour
these books for hours.”
Both men have high profile jobs,
and part of the reason why TCTN is
using their first names. Cody admitted,
“We are very high energy people
anyway, but I honestly believe that we
are like a signal, a beacon of sorts, to
the other side.”
Eventually they want to create
a healing center for people on this
plane and the afterlife. A place to help
those grieving move on. “We try to be
personable with whatever we may be
dealing with. We want to understand a
haunting and why it has occurred. And
no better way to do that than heal the
living and release the dead.”
You can find The New Reality on
social media and be sure to tune into
“The New Reality Paranormal Podcast” on

very successful second season.
