A Breakdown Of Our Investigation Process

  • The first thing we do when at a place of interest is to get a tour of the area by the client. This is when we see the areas that have the most activity as well as listen to the personal experiences that people may have had at any particular time.
  • After the initial tour we would then discuss where the perfect spots for our IR(infrared) cameras would be and set-up.
  • We then break up into groups of 3 or 4, depending on the size of the building or grounds. Each group then goes to a designated area, such as a particular floor in a house, to collect evidence. Typically we have 30 minutes to an hour at each designated area in which we do a rotation. A usual investigation last between 2 to 3 hours.
  • Upon collecting possible evidence, we then gather and pack up all the equipment that we had set up at the beginning of the investigation. This then concludes the physical investigation.
  • We then individually review any digital voice recordings, digital photography, and video that we had captured throughout the physical investigation. At this time we extract anything of interest, a possible EVP(electronic voice phenomenon), a unique photo, or even a personal experience to share with the rest of the group.
  • Upon our personal review, we then hold an evidence review where we share our findings with one another. This is when we as a group, consider whether a recording is an actual EVP. We also examine photos that we feel could be something paranormal. The evidence then gets gathered together to form our reveal.
  • Two to three weeks after our physical investigation we meet back with the client and reveal any evidence that was captured.
