We investigate paranormal events. Paranormal means any event outside the normal realm of perception. Humans have a very specialized but narrow realm of perception that has evolved over many thousands of years.
Most humans cannot detect the approach of an earthquake, yet animals are quick to seek shelter days or hours before the earthquake occurs. Animals sense an impending storm while humans go on oblivious to the coming natural phenomenon.
Paranormal simply means something outside the normal human perception. Simply because something is paranormal does not mean it does not exist. Recent news story tell about animal who can detect when a person is about to die, drawing close to the person to provide comfort in the end. How do they do it?
We use the latest technology and objective evaluation to find the underlying cause of paranormal events. Some people might call us ghost hunters, we call ourselves shadow chasers. A shadow occurs anytime and object passes in front of an energy emitting substance or object. Not unlike the moon passing between the sun and earth creates an eclipse.
In old times people view an eclipse as a paranormal event, thanks to telescopes and astronomy we are no longer afraid of an eclipse but view it as a natural wonder of our universe. We strive to demystify other events that as of yet seem paranormal to the unaided laymen.
Most paranormal events have a logical and definable source that may not be readily apparent to the casual observer. Perhaps we can help you define the source of such feelings.

Recently while talking to an acquaintance, I mentioned being interested in paranormal investigation. Instantly the other person asked, “Why can’t you let the dead rest in peace?” The comment caught me by surprise but I remained silent. I believe my friend responded from a theological paradigm. Some well-meaning people erroneously view paranormal investigation as new-age occult ritual or activity veiled in the guise of science. A mind-set that some paranormal investigators will eventually encounter and might benefit by preparing for the question, “Why can’t you let the dead rest in peace?”
World cultures and theologies have differing views about communicating with the spirit of the dead. Judeo-Christian theology condemns the practice of spiritualism, mediums, occult, and psychics (Leviticus 20:27; Deuteronomy 18:10-13). Conversely both Zen and Tibetan Buddhism subscribe to the Bardo Thodol (Book of the Dead) which contains instructions the lamas chant to the dying or dead. These instructions are designed guide the spirit as it navigates an otherworldly maze for almost fifty days. A maze of tunnels filled with light and darkness, terrors and delights. A wrong turn or inappropriate response, the Bardo Thodol cautions, may trap the spirit in turmoil thereby preventing either the spirit’s reincarnation or enlightenment. Likewise in the Hindu faith, an eleven-day ritual called shraddha helps ensure the safe journey of the spirit during its passage to Yama's realm. Many people of Asian background cling to the idea of ancestor worship, where the living ask the departed for guidance and help.
Sometimes there may exist conflict between what people say in public and what they believe in private. Most western cultures practice the ritualistic ceremony of burying and erecting a monument to their dead. Up until the late 1920’s it was commonplace for families to picnic and play in the local cemetery along side the gravestones. Today such behavior would be shunned as an occult practice. Even today in the 21st Century people still place fresh flowers at the headstone of a departed loved one. Humans seem to possess an innate need for connection to the otherworldly. In the deep recess of our being some people do not believe that existence ends at the demise of our corporeal body. To ignore the signals or signs of an existence that resides along side our own, out of fear because the answer might make us reevaluate our paradigm only amplifies that fear. The universe did not come apart at the atomic level because of the discovery that the Earth was not at the center of the universe. Scientific exploration of the unknown leads to understanding. If I take a picture and in the photograph appears a redbird, does this mean that I somehow compelled the redbird to have its picture taken?
To assume something exists without benefit of evidence is the stuff of legends and folklore. If legends and folklore is your thing, then go for it, but this is not paranormal investigation, and here lies my argument’s proposition for the importance of paranormal investigation. Paranormal investigators do not disturb the dead or try to prove the existence of life after death. A paranormal investigator uses technology to investigate, document, and analyze events that appear paranormal. Just as Copernicus used his telescope and documents to show the earth orbiting around the sun, paranormal investigators use tools and documentation to expose those things that seem paranormal and then allow the evidence speak for itself.
“Why can’t you let the dead rest in peace?” We do not disturb the dead, we collect evidence on unexplained events as it presents itself to us.
Have you ever seen a ghost? Maybe you once saw a light in the sky? Do you know where Bigfoot lives? Feel free to post your stories of the supernatural here.
