F.A.Q.

1. Who are you people?
(05/01/2005)

We are a group of individuals with years of experience in the field, (some of us certified by the Ghost Hunter's Registry - a course that must be taken and passed to achieve certification), and strive to perpetuate the understanding of the sciences associated with parapsychology and the supernatural. Please see our page, "about us" for more of our background information.

2. Technically speaking, what exactly is a "ghost"?
(05/01/2005)

A "ghost" can be several different things, to be honest. It may be a restless or lost spirit of a deceased individual, a strong emotional point in history that somehow records and plays itself back like a VCR tape under proper conditions, a possession of an unclean spirit residing in a general localized area, or Dad left the shed door off the latch last fall while he was putting the lawn ornaments away and it's been banging in the wind against the side of the house all winter.

Seriously, no one really knows one-hundred percent exactly what a "ghost" is. That is why you'll hear us use the term "anomaly". An anomaly is termed as "deviation or departure from the normal or common order, form, or rule." This is more so true when speaking about a curious event happening, because it may be totally explainable. When it's not, then you have an "unexplained anomaly", which could also be a haunting. That's where investigation in the interest of science comes in.

3. When should we contact you?
(05/01/2005)

You may contact us whenever you like. If you're uncomfortable with your anomaly, please don't hesitate to drop us an e-mail. Make sure you do a routine check of your home/business surroundings first to make sure you simply can't explain if what you're hearing could be explainable. (I.E. Banging in the attic due to an unattached shutter.) If you're seeing translucent milky-white children running around your kitchen at midnight, then I'd say it's a safe bet that you've got a haunting.

All kidding aside, again I will state that we want you to feel comfortable with us.

4. What should we do if our house/establishment is deemed haunted?
(05/01/2005)

That's totally up to you. We cannot "get rid of ghosts". We can only determine, with a certain degree of educated accuracy, that your locale may be experiencing unexplained events when all other possibilities are ruled out. In other words, we can diagnose, but we cannot treat.

Depending upon the outcome of any given investigation, depending on your religious beliefs, you may want to have a priest or minister bless your home, a psychic try to help, etc. We can offer sound advice, but again I must stress that we can not dispel a haunting. We are not "witches", "satanists" or "shaman", we are not psychic, (even though Liza is sensitive to certain paranormal events she's not a "psychic" per se), and we are not ordained ministers or priests. We are simply scientific paranormal investigators.

5. How much does your investigation cost?
(05/01/2005)

Flat out? Nothing. Zip. Nada. We are a totally non-profit venture, plain-and-simple. Donations, however, will of course be heartily accepted. All this does, unfortunately, cost us money. Between travel, equipment, etc., it's not an inexpensive endeavor. Just so long as it's understood that no offer of money is required at any point whatsoever. It will never be requested for upon the completion of an investigation. Any offer of a donation will always be totally at your discretion, and never prompted by us.

It should be understood, however, that any pictures, images, video, information, or audio of anomalies captured or collected in the duration of our investigation at your place of ownership is understood to be our intellectual property and may possibly be included on our web site and used to further our research. The data and information will, of course, be presented with relative anonymity using nothing more than generalizations when stating where the anomaly is located with no discerning outside pictures. We know admitting you have a "problem" in your home to your neighbors can be quite embarrassing. We want you to feel comfortable and totally at ease with our efforts. On the other hand, some businesses feel that having an advertised "in-house ghost" will actually draw business. To that end, if you would like your name and address given, we'd be more than happy to do that as well. It's all up to you.

6. How long does a normal investigation take?
(05/01/2005)

This is a tough one considering that paranormal activity is difficult to gauge as to when anomalies may occur. What we would request from you would be to keep a watch as to what time things tend to "heat up" with your disturbance. This will give us, as investigators, a better chance of capturing something on film or audio, and also to be able to see what you have first-hand. If you can do this, fine. If not, it's not an issue. Anomalies usually occur 24/7, but are more prominent at night because things are dark and quiet. That's when it's best to do research, plain-and-simple. So, again, whatever you're comfortable with is fine with us, as long as it fits in our schedule. We've spent many-a-night awake into the wee hours of the morning just waiting to hear or see something. This type of research requires patience!

Usually an investigation can wrap-up within one session depending upon whether we capture something in a media format or not, or figure out what is causing it, (I.E. an explainable circumstance such as "pipes banging in the basement" or the sort). If we don't determine what it is and you'd like us back, fine. If you feel uncomfortable with it and want to call it after the first time we set-up, that's fine. Whatever you're comfortable with.

7. How can we contact you?
(05/01/2005)

Simply click on this link. It will take you right to our "contact us" page.

8. Can you get rid of our anomaly?
(05/01/2005)

Again, I will state what was stated above. No. We can not "get rid" of your anomaly. Please see the answer to
