PIRA's objective

Our objective is to investigate and research claims of paranormal activity. We are a fact-finding, evidence-collecting, common-sense using team trying to understand ghosts and hauntings through equipment and research in the sciences.
We do not use psychics, as this is just as unproven as paranormal activity.

We are not scientists. We are normal, everyday people from various backgrounds who are doing our best to learn what we can about this strange phenomenon.

Our organization takes a very serious look at all evidence. This means ours, yours and that which is displayed on other sites, Television Programs and Documentaries. We believe in promoting the truth, not propaganda.
If you send us evidence to review, we'll give you an honest answer. (This may include answers that you don't want to hear) We are not in the game of telling you want you'd like to hear, we'll tell you what we think...and exactly why we think the way we do. Please, never hesitate to ask or question our ideas. We are human, so we are sometimes wrong.

Orbs or Dust?

Reviews of "Orbs or Dust?"
***********************************************

"It was refreshingly skeptical and shows a level of scientific methodology and critical thinking rare in ghost hunter circles. It should be required reading for anyone interested in ghosts; both novice and veteran ghost hunters will save themselves a lot of time chasing wild geese if they read and understand what you have to say."
Ben Radford, Managing Editor of Skeptical Inquirer

"Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know I just finished your book, Orbs Or Dust?. I am the Larry you refer to in your Introduction. I liked your book a lot and think it should be required reading for all paranormal investigators."
Larry Phelps, Ghosts of Gettysburg Tours

"I've already learned a great deal from your books, so let me thank you and the rest of your team for all the hard work put into compiling the information and making it available to the rest of us."
Ruth Caldwell, California Haunts ( http://www.californiahaunts.org/ )

"After reading your "Orbs or Dust" book, I admit I'm much more skeptical about any photographic anomalies, and certainly won't be including any in my own book as "evidence." I'll stick to those of artistic or historic value, simply to illustrate the stories. That way I won't inadvertently sacrifice my credibility as a writer or historian by photo anomalies that can be easily explained. If it saves me any embarrassment later on, I'll have your book to thank for that."
Don Carter, N.E.P.V.R.G. Historian/Case Researcher

"I highly recommend that you pick up this book. Whether you are a paranormal investigator or you are just interested in the paranormal like I am, this book is invaluable."
Doug Barnum, Contributing Editor of Spectral Review
