Meet the Team
For Barbie, the paranormal isn’t just a curiosity — it’s a calling. Her journey began at six years old, living in a haunted home where the supernatural didn’t happen directly to her but unfolded around her family. That early experience turned her initial skepticism into a lifelong passion for uncovering the truth. Barbie is known for her sharp eye for details and her bird’s-eye perspective that keeps the bigger picture in focus. As the founder and driving force behind NightSong, she’s assembled a team that approaches every case with scientific rigor and critical thinking — always searching for logical explanations, yet ready to embrace the extraordinary when it emerges.
Buffy’s journey into the paranormal began at home, where she felt her family’s presence stretch beyond the physical world. This early, deeply personal connection opened her heart to the mysteries of what lies beyond. Joining NightSong became a natural fit — a place to explore those energies and stories waiting to be heard. Her most powerful experience came during her first investigation, when her father reached out from the other side — an emotional moment that left an indelible mark on her soul. Known for her keen awareness of energies, Buffy brings sensitivity and respect to every encounter.
Chaz’s fascination with the paranormal began in his teens, driven by curiosity and a love for solving mysteries. With a background in financial and criminal investigations, he brings a calm, analytical mindset to every case — methodical, honest, and dedicated to ruling out natural explanations before considering the unknown. While most things have a rational cause, it’s the rare moments that don’t that keep him searching. Now part of NightSong, he looks forward to growing his skills and contributing his steady presence to each investigation.
For Synque, the paranormal is a new frontier, but her curiosity and drive make her feel right at home in the unknown. After attending a NightSong investigation as a guest, she realized the field is far more than eerie stories or late-night thrills. Her creativity and technical strengths in media, design, and problem-solving enhance both fieldwork and behind-the-scenes operations. Motivated and adaptable, she supports NightSong’s mission to pursue truth with integrity.
