Who are we?
We are a group of experienced paranormal
investigators based in Fountain Inn, South Carolina who have been
investigating and documenting reports of ghosts, hauntings and
paranormal activity individually since 1987. Our investigation team is
comprised of people from all over the state of SC. We are mature,
serious minded individuals with years of experience in the field of
paranormal research.
We hope you enjoy visiting our website and
will return regularly as we add new information. We also invite you to
participate in our discussions about ghost hunting and paranormal
phenomena at our
Discussion Board. It's easy to register and become a member, and it's free!
What do we do?
We investigate and document reports of ghosts,
hauntings and paranormal activity in South Carolina using scientific
methods and electronic equipment to rule out natural causes for
reported phenomena. Our mission is twofold: Collect verifiable
scientifically based evidence of the survival of the human personality
after death while helping people understand and cope with possible
paranormal activity in their homes or businesses before and after an
investigation. We use the most up-to-date video, audio and surveillance
equipment to document our investigations, and we constantly exchange
ideas and information with other nationally recognized paranormal
investigation teams in a continuing effort to improve our investigation
techniques and remain at the forefront of paranormal research.
Where do we investigate?
We offer our investigation services in South
Carolina only. We offer our services free of charge to anyone in this
area who is in need of a scientifically oriented paranormal
investigation conducted by reputable, experienced researchers who
always keep the homeowner's or business owner's concerns and best
interests in mind.
Do we charge for our services?
We do NOT charge for our investigation
services. An overwhelming majority of reputable paranormal
investigation teams across the country believe that it is highly
unethical for any person or persons to charge for a paranormal
investigation or to request a fee to supposedly "banish" or "exorcise"
alleged "ghosts" or "spirits" or "dispose" of an alleged "haunting". We
wholeheartedly agree. If you are experiencing possible paranormal
activity in your home or business, we recommend that you avoid
contacting anyone who claims to be able to terminate alleged paranormal
activity in return for a monetary fee.
How do we fund our research?
All of our equipment, travel and website
expenses are privately funded by our individual team members. To help
offset our costs, we do sell SCPRAI merchandise in our online shop.
And in the near future we hope to offer DVD documentaries of select
investigations. Public donations to help fund our research are welcomed
and appreciated.
Do we post investigation results on our website?
We always post the results of our public
location investigations (cemeteries, Civil War battlefields, hotels,
bed & breakfasts, etc.) on our website for public scrutiny. We
believe it's important for the general public to have access to this
information so people can judge the validity of our research methods
and results while also learning from our experiences. Beware of
"paranormal investigators" who do not publicly publish the results of
their "investigations".
We will only post the results
of a private residence investigation on our website with the property
owner's permission. Names, location, etc. of a private residence
investigation may be omitted or changed at the property owner's request.
Do we accept submissions?
If you have an unusual photo, audio recording,
video recording or personal experience which might be paranormal in
nature and would like to share it with others who are interested in
paranormal phenomena, we can evaluate your evidence for possible
posting on our website.
Contact
us if you'd like us to consider your digital submissions (digital
photos, digitally scanned photos, digital audio files, digital video

paranormal experiences for possible posting on our website.
