Larry Lawson Interviews - CHRISTOPHER GEORGE - Paranormal Forest Ranger

Chris George’s interaction with the paranormal came at a very young age. Living in Leadville, CO, a town of historical significance to the mining industry of the 1800’s, He began seeing “people” at approximately the age of four or five. He came to believe they were spirits existing in the collapsed silver and gold mines near his home.

During this time, he also became aware of strange occurrences in the sky, by what could only be described as UFO activity. At the age of 8-9 he believes he might have had an interaction with an alien being. He has not experienced this type of encounter since, but does remember it vividly.

At the age of eleven, his family relocated to Southern California where he continued to have sightings of UFOs, and encounters with paranormal activity.

He had a fascination Queen Mary, a British Ocean Liner permanently docked in Long Beach where he lived. He was fascinated with the history of the ship, but also intrigued when he heard that the ship was allegedly haunted. Through the years he had the opportunity to wander the ship and become acquainted with locations of the ship not necessarily visited by the basic public. Through these adventures, he became friends with renowned paranormal investigator, Peter James. This friendship influenced his understanding of not only the Queen Mary but of the paranormal world in general

His fascination with the paranormal continued, along with his passion to become a park ranger. He later fulfilled his dream to be a ranger spending the next 40 years in service in different parts of the United States.
