Speaker Bios

An "Extreme Psychic" Margie has assisted law enforcement agencies and private detectives since the age of 16, and has been instrumental in locating 28 missing persons, homicide victims and perpetrators. Kay is clairvoyant (sees), clairsentient (feels), and clairaudient (hears). She does remote viewing, dowsing, and meditative trance work, as well as intuitive medical diagnosis with the ability to see inside the human body. She no longer does private readings but will help law enforcement at no charge.

Margie put together a team of psychics to do paranormal investigations and find missing persons. With their combined talents, the team is usually successful in finding out the origin of hauntings or paranormal activity. In most haunting cases Margie can convince the spirits to move on and activity in the location will cease. Kay holds a BA in Business and an MA in Writing. She is co-owner of a contracting company in Independence, Missouri. Margie is the host of QUEST radio show on KCXL 1140 AM (currently on hiatus but scheduled to return soon). Kay is the author of The Ghost Hunter's Field Guide, Haunted Independence and her current project "After -Affects of UFO Encounters." Kay is a national speaker, and is available to do lectures worldwide. Contact Margie at MargieKay06@yahoo.com

Note: Kathleen Marden will be testing Margie's abilities at the conference and we need volunteers for readings.

Kathleen Marden Kathleen was trained as a social worker and educator and holds a B.A. degree from the University of New Hampshire . She participated in graduate studies in education at The University of Cincinnati and U.N.H. During her fifteen years as an educator, she innovated, designed and implemented model educational programs. She also held a supervisory position, coordinating, training and evaluating education staff. Additionally, she taught adult education classes on UFO and abduction history.

She was thirteen in on September 20, 1961, when Betty Hill phoned her nearby home to report that, the previous evening, she and Barney had encountered a flying saucer in New Hampshire ’s White Mountains . A primary witness to the evidence of the UFO encounter and the aftermath, Kathleen has intimate knowledge of the Hill’s biographical histories, personalities, and the never before published historical data pertaining to their sensational story.

After Betty’s death in 2004, Kathy compiled two permanent archival collections for the Milne Special Collection and Archives Department at the UNH Library. The Hills’ civil rights collection is comprised of documents, letters, photographs and newspaper articles pertaining to Betty’s and Barney’s social and political activities. The UFO collection contains all of all the correspondence, articles, and other material from Betty’s extensive files, including new material, Betty’s dress, and the forensic paintings of her captors by NH artist, David Baker. The archive is open to qualified researchers.

Because Kathy was so close to Betty Hill, especially over the last two decades of her life, she was able to review her extensive UFO files and have many long discussions with Betty to clear up puzzling questions pertaining to her UFO encounter. She recorded hours of taped interviews with Betty and the two made several research trips through New Hampshire ’s White Mountains . Additionally, in 1996, Betty released to Kathy the audio tapes of the hypnosis sessions she and Barney participated in with renowned psychiatrist, Dr. Benjamin Simon. With Betty’s approval, she transcribed the tapes and conducted a comparative analysis of the Hills’ individual testimony versus Betty’s infamous dream account of alien abduction. This startling new information, along with the Hills’ historical records, became the foundation for a Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience, co-authored with Stanton T. Friedman. (August, 2007)

For ten years Kathy served on the national MUFON board of directors as the director of field investigator training. In 2003, MUFON publicly recognized Kathy for her outstanding contribution of advancing the scientific study of the UFO phenomenon and demonstrating positive leadership. Her professional paper, The Use and Misuse of Hypnosis in UFO Abduction Investigations was widely distributed throughout the UFO field. She has written articles for The MUFON Journal and the book Best UFO Cases. Additionally, she has appeared numerous radio programs, television news programs, The History Channel and The Discovery Channel and on Canadian TV programs.
