Starting in 2009, The Ghosthunter Dan Norvell Project went by the name Small Town Paranormal; however, due to a trademark/copyright battle, the name of team was changed in 2012. Lead by Dan Norvell and Larry Eissler, the GDNP team investigates the paranormal all throughout northern Illinois, but focuses more on Winnebago, Ogle, and Dekalb counties. With state-of-the-art equipment, the GDNP team has investigated many well known, and little know, locations, such as: Manteno Insane Asylum (Morgan Cottage), Veterans Memorial Hall, Tinker Swiss Cottage, Conover Square, The Egyptian Theatre, The Roadhouse, The Command Post Restaurant and Museum, The Black Hawk War battle sites, and many more.
