In late 2003, on the heels of two aspiring
careers in both the music/video entertainment
and electronics R&D industries, Michael Baker’
s interests took a mysterious twist when be
began to research historical and popular
accounts of paranormal activity, an interest
spawned from his own personal, and
unexplainable experiences as child growing up
in Arlington, Massachusetts. By 2005, having
developed a successful wedding and commercial
videography business, (Digital 3 Media),
Michael developed the urge to utilize the
video medium in a more creative and less
commercial way, that would also be separate
from his already growing business.
By 2006 Michael co-founded New Gravity Media
a privately funded independent film company
and began writing; directing and producing
the full length feature film "14 Degrees - A
Paranormal Documentary". Since its release in
October 2007, 14 Degrees has sold
successfully in every state in the U.S as
well as 16 countries around the world and has
won the 2008 Aegis Video production award.
The two years of extensive research that went
into preparing for this film took Michael
over 6000 miles across the northeastern
United States to document and participate in
dozens of paranormal investigations as well
as interview and learn from some of the most
popular and respected names in the paranormal
field such as (John Zaffis, Steve Gonsalves,
and Keith Johnson).
Over recent years, Michael’s expertise and
involvement in the paranormal field has
flourished. He has worked with, instructed
and consulted for dozens of paranormal teams
and investigators across the U.S. and has
become a nationally recognized authority on
paranormal technology, evidence analysis and
scientific investigation techniques.
Since 2006 Michael has been a member in good
standing of the Boston Paranormal
Investigators Team, he is founder of The New
England Center for Paranormal Research and
honorary member of Para- Boston
Investigators, New York Ghost Hunting Team,
as well as The Association for the Scientific
Study of Anomalous Phenomena.
