Bagg grew up in North York and has a daughter and a son. Bagg began researching haunting in 1988, when he was 23, which is also the year that he claims to have had his first encounter with a spirit.[1][3] The encounter occurred after he and his wife moved into a supposedly haunted apartment.[4] Bagg claimed to have heard voices calling his name and footsteps in the next room when no one else was in the house.[2][5] A quick investigation found that an elderly woman had died of a stroke in the apartment's kitchen.[2] Bagg stated that this haunting was "like a wake-up call" and began his investigations into other hauntings soon afterwards.[1] Two years after he began his investigations, he founded the Haunt Club, a Peterborough group who investigate hauntings.[6]
Between 1988 and 2008 Bagg claims to have investigated over 100 "valid" hauntings which includes two Toronto-area schools. Bagg doesn't charge for his investigations and since 2006 also runs workshops teaching other people how to conduct their own paranormal investigations.[1][2][3] Bagg states that the purpose of his investigations is to document evidence and then assist spirits with 'moving on'.[1]
Bagg has stated that his goal is to "put Peterborough on the map as the ghost capital of the world".[2]
