PSI of Oregon - Kira Henderson: Investigator/Youth group Coodinator
Born and raised in California, Kira has had an interest in the paranormal for many years. She considers moving to the Coos Bay area a blessing, making many new friends and joining PSI of Oregon which has enabled her to understand paranormal phenomena.
When not working with PSI of Oregon, Kira is an accomplished Belly Dancer and Karate Instructor. So when she says "I ain't afraid of no ghost" - she means it.
When asked what has been the most reward part of being a PSI of Oregon Team Member, Kira says, "The friends I have made, and the knowledge that has been shared with me by my teammates. Working with PSI has given me a objective view on what is, and what isn't, paranormal, and I feel that I have a better understanding regarding what happens when we leave the physical world."

Karate means “empty hands”, or “Chinese Hands”.
Karate kicked off with the original Okinawa style; later on, the Japanese patented their own styles, which are now appropriately called Japanese styles of Karate. With time, many karate schools all cross the world began naming their Karate after their school’s or master’s name, giving birth to many sub-styles.
Around the late nineteenth century, Gichin Funakoshi, a famous martial arts practitioner from Japan, blended new moves into the “Te” style and displayed his art to the Japanese martial arts masters in early twentieth century. This was the beginning of Karate, as we know it.
Elvis Presley was a black belt in karate. He took up martial arts under the shotokan sensei Jürgen Seydal, while fulfilling his military duties in Germany in 1958. He was awarded his black belt before he returned to the United States, in 1960, by the chito-ryu instructor Hank Slemansky. Elvis’s love of martial arts continued throughout his life. His favourite form of fighting became American Kenpo.
