Katherine became interested in the paranormal after hearing many ghost stories that her grandmother told her when she was very young. These ghost stories stayed with Katherine for many years. As she grew older she became interested in finding out whether the afterlife really existed. She decided that the best way to find out whether the paranormal really existed was to separate belief from reality and see what came out of it.

Katherine decided to study for and gained her degree in Parapsychology, which she did in her native Canada. These studies allowed her have a more open-minded scepticism about the paranormal. It also taught her how to decide what could be considered paranormal and what could be natural occurrences.

She became a member of the team after corresponding with Arron. After finding out about some of the work he was doing, she offered her services and has been vital member of the team since. She is often the calmest head in some of the more chaotic times the team has endured.
