Psychics, Sensitives, Mediums, Etc.

   On this page, we want to express our views on psychic methods of ghost hunting for those of you who believe and stand behind these methods. It's a touchy and controversial subject, and some of what is said throughout the page might bother some of you who possess these abilities. Hopefully, by the time you get done reading this page, you'll be able to understand, and possibly even respect our stance on this.

Science Vs. Spirituality
   Scientists are sick of people with spiritual beliefs forcing their 'religion' on the scientific community without any solid and  documented proof of anything.

   They're absolutely right. Nobody should ever force their own spiritual beliefs on anyone for any reason.

   People with strong spiritual beliefs think scientists are stupid for not seeing that paranormal studies are spiritual in their nature and removing that aspect can be counterproductive. Furthermore they feel like scientists don't respect their beliefs.

   They're absolutely right. Scientists often refuse to see anything beyond the data that they have right in front of them and have little patience for anything speculative that cannot be tested.

   Which view is right, and which one is wrong? Neither & both, and both & neither.
I mean what do you think is better, automobiles or toilet paper?

   The bottom line is that both aspects are valid to the communities that they represent. Unfortunately, each faction can rarely even work together let alone agree.

   It's time to stop trying. Choose a side, stick with it, respect and leave the other side alone.

Another thought on Psychics, Mediums, & Sensitives...
   I'm going to try to explain this as best as possible so there is no misunderstanding on the matter. First off, let me be completely clear. We have absolutely NOTHING against anyone who possesses these abilities, or anything against the abilities themselves for that matter. Unfortunately, there exists a problem within the paranormal community regarding the issue. Sensitive or not, you'd be blind not to recognize it.

    If you're reading this, you're obviously interested in this stuff. You may have gone to other sites and read other things, like their message boards, for example. Go onto one of these forums, and ask the question, "Who here is a sensitive?"  Watch how many people respond claiming that they have psychic abilities or call themselves 'sensitive'.  Based on reading other peoples claims, at least 90% of paranormal enthusiasts are psychic or sensitive. There MUST be something in the water.

   No.

   I truly believe that EVERY human being has the ability to develop their own psychic abilities, but my personal beliefs are irrelevant. The truth is, there are way too many people making ridiculous clams to take any of it seriously. I'm saddened by that because I'm certain that there ARE people out there who are the real deal. YOU may be one of them. How do we know? How do we know that you're not one of the liars? That's the problem. Those of you reading this that ARE the real deal should be demanding the same 'proof' as the skeptics.

Our Policy
   Are you a psychic, sensitive, or a medium?

   To put it bluntly, we don't care one way or another.

   In a nutshell, our investigations consist of researching the location, and interviewing witnesses to gather information. We visit the location to gather our own data. After that, we analyze the collected data, and deliver our conclusion. Nowhere in that small description does it say anything about psychic readings, or how we 'feel' about the investigation. That type of information just doesn't apply to our work.

   Look at it this way. Spiritual abilities are paranormal in nature
. How can you prove the existence of the paranormal while using the paranormal as a tool? It's like robbing Peter to pay Peter. It doesn't make any sense.

   Regardless of psychic/sensitive abilities, we want good, analytical investigators.
We accept new members based ONLY on their ability to work within our scientific parameters. If you can 'set your spiritual beliefs to the side', and do the work we're trying to do, then by all means, join us.
 
   Although our investigations are, and will ALWAYS be scientific in nature, over time it's possible that the team may notice a pattern in the work that you do. Maybe the team will
naturally grow to trust your instincts on things. Who knows?

After The Investigation
   Here's where things can get tricky. We came, we saw, we investigated, we analyzed. We found too many unexplainable things.
Based on our scientific data and experiences, we believe the location to be haunted.

   Now what? What can modern science do for a family who can't sleep at night because the voices are too loud, or their bed is shaking?

   Unfortunately nothing. Most scientific organizations will simply tell the client, "Yup...You're haunted. Good luck." After that they walk away, and move on to the next one. We cannot in good conscience do that. So, we swallow our scientific pride.

   At the time when we deem a place haunted using our facts, it's up to the client to decide what the next course of action should be. If they decide that they want the place blessed, we will put away our gadgets and make it happen. If we have nobody at the time to do a cleansing according to their personal spiritual beliefs, then we'll do everything in our power to help them find somebody. If it's going to make us call an organization on the other side of the state to get them the spiritual help that they need, then so be it. We will do what needs to be done.

   So, if you're reading this, and you DO possesses a little psychic twinkle. Joining us doesn't necessarily mean that your abilities will go to waste. It just means that you have to be able to use analytical scientific methods first.
