SPI Covers Arizona!

Sonoran Paranormal Investigations, Inc. provides investigative teams covering the entire state of Arizona with three cooperative teams located in Tucson, Phoenix, and the Verde Valley area. Members of SPI come from all areas of Arizona including but not limited to: Sierra Vista, Benson, Tucson, Casa Grande, Chandler, Phoenix, Flagstaff, Queen Creek, Show Low, Glendale, Camp Verde, Mesa, Globe, and Scottsdale.

Truly Scientific

Sonoran Paranormal Investigations, Inc. dedicates itself not only to individual investigations of claims of paranormal activity but is also among the handful of groups worldwide utilizing data obtained during investigations as part of long term studies. SPI believes that only through studying phenomena over long periods will it be possible to eventually craft legitimate theories of haunting phenomena. After each investigation all results from experiments and environmental readings are retained and analyzed whether regarded as "paranormal" or natural. Over time this data analysis will enable SPI to form sound theories and explanations for haunting phenomena as well as show trends influencing paranormal activity or perceptions of paranormal activity. Likewise, such in depth analysis will allow SPI to show existing ideas on paranormal activity, generally handed down as anecdotes, as either valid or invalid based upon true scientific inquiry and stringent analysis.

Unlike many groups in the field, SPI does not adhere to an "investigate and forget" mindset, but rather an investigate, correlate, analyze, and theorize mindset making SPI true members of the scientific community rather than hobbyists.

Charging for Investigations is Unethical!

SPI NEVER charges for a paranormal investigation! We at SPI use our own equipment, our own time, and make our own travel arrangements - this is all at our own expense. We do not accept outside donations. We do not perform cleansings or blessing but can direct clients to respectable spiritual or religious practitioners who may be able to assist them when necessary.

SPI - Arizona's Leading Paranormal Investigators!

Sonoran Paranormal Investigations (SPI) is a paranormal investigation group located in and serving the state of Arizona. We have members from Flagstaff to Tucson and we are able to meet the needs of families and businesses throughout the entire state.

In 2007, we were proud to become TAPS Family Members. You may be aware of TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) and TAPS Family from the Sci-Fi channel series Ghost Hunters.

Becoming involved with the TAPS Family not only ensures that we are doing the right thing - but it keeps us doing the right thing. The TAPS Family affiliation provides SPI and our clientele with access to some of the best and brightest in the field and ensures that we have access to the latest information and knowledge of the latest technology available.

Our unique approach to professional investigation has set SPI apart among investigative groups. We have been called in by homeowners and business owners but also by government agencies including historic sites, local and state government (including police), and the United States Army.

PSYCHICS/MEDIUMS/SENSITIVES

We have had many offers from people with psychic type abilities to assist our team in different ways.  While we appreciate the offers we do not use psychic type skills in any of our capacities.  We do, however, have a few areas on our forums geared toward the psychic topics and welcome you to join us on our forums.

Video Protocol

 

Purpose:

Video is used to capture activity which may be of a paranormal nature during an investigation; to record investigational components or experiments; to capture specific phenomena or cause for purposes of validation.

Materials:

Video Camera; Tapes, DVD, or Hard drive; Batteries or Electrical Power source, additional IR source - IR Extender.

Methods:

  • Video cameras will be stationed in such a way as to capture as much of the location as possible.
  • If enough camera's are available, cams may be utilized to record experiments or other equipment readings.
  • If there are enough cameras available one camera may be utilized as a hand held to be controlled by a single individual throughout the investigation to ensure consistency in the capture, the handheld unit will attempt to capture: In areas where stationary cameras are capturing the entire location; the handheld will focus on the investigation (investigators at work). In areas where stationary cameras are not capturing the entire location; the handheld will attempt cover these un-captured areas.
  • Priority of camera usage> Stationary Cameras to cover entire Location - main priority. Stationary Cameras covering experiments - priority 2. Handheld cameras - as cameras are available.

Controls:

  • Video Cameras which have time date stamp will be synchronized with all other equipment on the investigation.
  • Stationary Cameras will not be altered or moved unless specifically required to capture an uncovered area experiencing paranormal activity. Any change to stationary camera will be documented.
  • Any change of a stationary camera will be noted. Stationary cameras will have an adequate light source and adequate battery and film to cover the entire area it is being used for. The technical Manager will determine the best cameras for each location based on its available light, battery and storage capability.

Data Interpretation:

  • Video data will be reviewed and documented by the owner of the camera unless assigned to another investigator.
  • Documentation will consist of all audio and visual occurrence, natural or possibly supernatural. This will be posted in the Investigators
  • Section of the Sonoran Paranormal Investigations Forums for the purpose of review and comparison by other investigators.
  • All data - whether indicative of paranormal activity or not will be maintained and preserved for not less than one week AFTER the reveal.
  • Data captured on tape, should it reveal suspected paranormal activity, will be transferred to DVD and uploaded for further analysis by the team.
  • After further analysis, if the team deems the question unanswered the data may be provided for outside analysis to TAPS Family and/or IPI for further evaluation and consultation - identifying information related to the source of the data (names of clients, location of investigation) will be withheld from the consultant.
  • After consultative review - if an satisfactory explanation is not achieved - the data will be copied for client and stored for either: publishing, or for future review in our records.
