TCP is a small group of paranormal
investigators based out of S.W. Missouri. We also investigate areas
of southwest Missouri, southeast Kansas, northeast Oklahoma, and
northwest Arkansas. TCP was formed February 2007.
Our
Investigations
Tri County Paranormal Research Society
conducts professional paranormal investigations. Our investigations are
focused around the science of the paranormal. We actively seek
historical locations and highlight the significance of the past.
However, we do conduct investigations of privately owned residences in
need of assistance. We use a variety of equipment during our
investigations to both prove and disprove accounts of paranormal
activities. We collect authentic evidence and will use the latest
methods to break down collected evidence and analyze it carefully
before presenting it to the general public.
TCP
does not charge a fee for investigations.
We do not use seances, Ouji boards or
mediums. We accommodate
reasonable
requests and/or requirements of the property owner. The length of our
investigation is entirely up to the site owner, we generally require a
minimum of 5 hours to conduct an investigation. A list of equipment
that will be utilized can be provided if requested. We understand and
fully respect that we will be on private property at all times and all
due consideration will be given so that no damage will occur to any
part of the property during our investigation. We also provide signed
releases as protection from any liability for accident or injury to
investigators and equipment. Any information in reference to the
investigators attending the investigation will be provided prior to the
investigation upon request. After the investigation has taken place we
will examine the collected data and see if we have captured any
unexplainable phenomena, after this process contact will be made
with our findings and will be reviewed as need or if requested.
We find our investigations by word
of mouth, the Internet, scouting, research and by people contacting
us.
Who are we
We are continually educating
ourselves in the paranormal (Spirits/Ghosts/Hauntings) and how and why
they exist, and will share with others our beliefs, concepts and
understandings, based on information we've gathered from our
investigations and research, and other groups within the paranormal
community. We are everyday people with jobs and families, ghost
hunting is our passion.
Privacy and Publication
We understand there is a
right to privacy; any information we collect will be confidential
unless permission has been granted by signing a Release of Information
and Evidence Form. All information and evidence collected will be
provided to the site owner. If released for publication it will be
copyrighted as findings of the Tri County Paranormal Research Society.
Our authorized publications are presented on our website. We create a
video featuring the history of the site, paranormal accounts, overview
of the investigation, any evidence collected and our conclusion. The
videos are also accessible on YouTube. Evidence is also individually
presented on the website.
