Originally from Fresno, California, David Harkins now resides in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. In 1980, David helped launch an occult bookstore in Fresno that is still in operation today. During the early years at the bookstore, folks would come into the shop and share stories of their homes being haunted by things they believed to be of a paranormal nature. With a fascination with all things occult and paranormal, David began investigating these claims of supposed paranormal activity and soon got hooked on the fact that some of these claims may actually be occurring. After moving to the Ozark Mountains in 1985, David began investigating different locations in the Ozarks and eventually encountered others with the same interest in the paranormal. In 2006, after meeting more folks in the area with a strong lure to the paranormal; David founded The Ozarks Paranormal Society (TOPS). Since forming TOPS, David has been featured on radio, print and television. David is also the author of the book "Haunted Graveyards of the Ozarks, "and in the process of publishing two more books in the near future.Dave and members of his team were featured on the Travel Channel program Legends of the Ozarks investigating the activity at Wilson's Creek National Battlefield near Springfield, Missouri.Over the years, David has investigated many places in the United States, as well as Europe and India, and he continues his journey through the paranormal world to this day.
