MISSION
Our mission is to apply academic rigor to the study of paranormal phenomena.
​
In my research, I've found that traditional science often dismisses the unexplained, not because it's false, but because it can't be explained through conventional, controlled experiments. This is where my approach diverges. I define paranormal phenomena as those observable events that are currently beyond the rational explanation of established scientific theories and methods.
​
Whether it's a ghostly photograph, an unexplainable sound, or a mysterious light in the sky, I use a framework rooted in communication theory, historical research, and critical thinking to investigate the world's most enduring mysteries. Our goal is not just to find ghosts but to find answers.
A SCIENTIFIC APPROACH
"With all things being equal, the simplest explanation tends to be the right one." ~ William of Ockham
Method
Our research primarily focuses on unexplained phenomena, including paranormal sightings, hauntings, and demonology. We also consider investigating folklore, UAP (UFO), and other unexplained occurrences on a case-by-case basis.
Modern paranormal investigation technology helps provide insights into specific cases and studies. We frequently apply theoretical communication foundations, which often form the basis of our investigations. Our approach draws from Robert Craig's seven traditions of communication, with particular emphasis on cybernetic, socio-psychological, semiotic, and phenomenological perspectives.
We approach each case with empathy and respect for our clients' beliefs. While some phenomena may have logical explanations or be debunked, we treat every case and client with the utmost respect and attention to detail. Client confidentiality is paramount; we only share case findings with others when explicitly authorized by the client.
