INVESTIGATIVE PROTOCOL:
If a request or referral is received to investigate an alleged haunting or poltergeist case, the following procedures are followed:
INITIAL INTERVIEW: Usually by phone, designed to elicit basic details and determine if the case warrants investigation (many otherwise valid cases do not lend themselves to investigation, due to the specific phenomena reported or infrequency of manifestations).
ON-SITE INTERVIEW: If an investigation seems warranted and practical, in-depth interviews are scheduled with all witnesses at the scene of the events. These structured interviews will explore the experiences from scientific, psychological and medical points of reference. Interviews are detailed, private, and confidential.
ENVIRONMENTAL SCANS: The next step is to determine the base-line (normal) environmental energy levels (thermal, magnetic, electrical and ionizing radiation) at the location, as a reference point in case anomalous readings are detected later.
HISTORICAL RESEARCH: Inquiries are made as to the history of the target location, surrounding area, local legends & folklore, and experiences of previous occupants.
FIELD INVESTIGATION: Randy, sometimes assisted by a hand-selected team of trained investigators, will set up a high-tech surveillance ( a 'stakeout') of the target location, possibly overnight. Follow-up or ongoing casework may be involved, if the case warrants. While not our primary approach, a psychic may be utilized as one of many investigative tools.
CONCLUSIONS: All recorded evidence is analyzed and evaluated. A written report is provided to the client, discussing the most likely (as well as alternative) explanations. Randy is not a 'ghostbuster' and does not claim to be able to remove a ghost or 'clear' a house, but he can offer advice and referrals to this end if the client desires.
