We love to collect evidence, but we are just as much about the experience, historic preservation and community.
We often incorporate the use of actors and actresses to act out scenes at haunted locations that might generate energy and encourage a response.
We network with some of the most experienced paranormal investigators in the world. We are always trying to educated ourselves on the newest methods and theories.
Cryptozoology is something new for us, however we are excited to branch out into new directions.
