About ALEP

We are At Lights End Paranormal! - Our group was founded in January 2008, originating from a shared respect and curiosity about the field of paranormal research. Currently, we have two members and have just started opening up to new members. However, our experience is extensive. Between us we have over 10+ years of training and stories to tell. Our equipment ranges from the basic voice recorder to IR and Full Spectrum Cameras. We take pride in our dedication to helping others uncover the truth. Thank you for visiting us! 

Established in 2008

At Lights End Paranormal was founded in 2008 under the alternate name Joliet Ghost Hunters Society. The moniker was too similar to another local group at the time, and so the change was made. Originally, ALEP was founded by James Kuriger. As time went on, members came and went as the group evolved, one of whom was Sarah Johnson. We have done many investigations in partnership with other groups, as well as established trust among property owners that allowed us the ability to train our team through mock investigations. In 2010,. ALEP stepped away from the paranormal research field in pursuit of other interests. However, the passion for the work never left its original founder. And in 2021, we are building back up one block at a time. 

Our Mission

Our fundamental mission is threefold - Education, Respect for History, and Peace of Mind. Experiencing paranormal activity can be intimidating and confusing. Approaching such reports in a wholly scientific and logical way can help to shed light on a new perspective - and make sense of something unbelievable. We are here to help.                                                            

Our Team

Sarah Johnson 
Researcher/Co-Lead Investigator 

For over 20 years, I have fostered a strong personal interest in the science behind paranormal activity. Since I was young, I have experienced unexplainable phenomena and have wanted to better understand such occurrences. Through At Lights End, I have had the opportunity to learn and share my knowledge with a wide variety of people. 

James Kuriger
Lead Investigator/Founder

Several years ago when I was in high school, I had a memorable and frightening paranormal experience. This event piqued my interest in the field of study, and I never looked back. I began searching for a group to join and learn from. For a period of time, I was a member of an Illinois research group before I branched off and created my own to not only continue to grow, but also to educate others through my knowledge and experiences.
