Setting Up An Investigation

What to Expect

      Well, if we show up at your door, you’ll see bags filled with cameras, video and audio recorders, motion sensors and various other devices for measuring atmospheric changes. What you won’t see are candles, charms or psychics putting on a show. We’re not into any alternative religions or hocus-pocus stuff. We’re there to determine if the activity is of paranormal origin or if it has a natural explanation.

      Before the investigation begins, two of our members will conduct an interview with the owners and any witnesses. They will document the activity that has been experienced and any historical information at this time. The rest of the team will be taking readings throughout the building, to establish a “normal” base pattern. When this is done, the team will get down to business. They’ll set up sensors and video, take photos and do recording sessions to try to capture the voices of the spirits.

      After all the information collected has been analyzed and discussed, we will determine if there is a need for further research. If there is, we’ll search local libraries, historical societies and government offices to gather as much historical information as possible to find who or what is causing the activity. Our results will be posted on our website while a full detailed report, along with photos and audio clips, will be presented to the owners. If we obtain positive results, we’ll ask to come back for follow-up investigations in an attempt to duplicate our findings.

       The most important thing you may be interested in is that our services are FREE. The only instance in which we would ask for compensation is if your site is a considerable distance from us. Don't worry, compensation to us is pizza and a place to snooze for a few hours (if we need to stay overnight).

Privacy

      One of the biggest concerns many of our clients have is privacy. We want to assure you that this is also a big concern for us as well. We consider it a privilege to be allowed to investigate your home or business, so we take great care to honor your requests. If you request to keep your name, the name and location of your home or business secret, we’ll be happy to accommodate you. We’ll also keep faces hidden and will keep any photos off the website that would give away the location. The names can be changed and the locations can be generalized (i.e. house in New Jersey). The bottom line is, we’ll tell the story but not where it took place.

      All of the information we collect is for our research. Stories are posted, but things like phone numbers, addresses and such are never given out. If someone wants to contact you, they’ll need to go through us. We’ll pass along any messages or simply turn them away- at your request. We want to have the opportunity to come back and follow up on any finding we may get, so we will do whatever it takes to keep you satisfied.

Contact Information

       Below you'll find the names of our contact people. If you're interested in having us investigate your location, please feel free to e-mail us. We can address any concerns you may have and answer any additional questions you may have. We'll set a date for a preliminary investigation, which means that 2 or 3 of us will come out to meet you and go over some information. It's a "getting to know each other" meeting. We can also survey the area at this time to determine any problems we may encounter.

      We hope to hear from you soon!
