After patrolling Bridgeport for 11 years, Police Officer James Myers has found another calling: the spiritual realm.
Break-ins at the downtown complex of the shuttered Savoy Hotel and the Poli Palace/Majestic theaters got him inside the rundown buildings, where he took photos, an old hobby for the 38-year-old father of three.
But these photos were different from other abandoned buildings he's shot.
"Things started to show up on my camera," he said.
Not just anything: orbs, which indicate the presence of spiritual energy. And lots them.
Then a chance meeting in Bridgeport Hospital with famed psychic and Monroe resident Lorraine Warren set him on the path to becoming a paranormal researcher. While working there, he heard Warren, 81, was a patient and approached her. She knew his name before he introduced himself.
As Myers recalled: "She said, 'Jimmy, how are you?'"
Since then, in his spare time, Myers has been assisting Warren and her son-in-law, Tony Spera, with investigations for the A&E network's show "Paranormal State." He helps interview people and collect data with recording equipment.
