IN A TIME OF PLAGUE

In light of California Governor Gavin Newsom's "shelter in place" orders, and in consideration of the guidelines set forth by the CDC to combat the spread of COVID-19, all requests for on-premises investigations will be put on hold until otherwise deemed safe to resume normal daily operations. Additionally, PPI's 2020 "Science and The Beyond" presentations scheduled at local public libraries and learning institutions in the month of October have been postponed. We are currently considering a "distance education" version of our presentations to offer instead, details of which will be made available in the coming months. In the meantime, please remember to responsibly socially distance yourself, wear your mask in public, and safeguard your health and the well-being of others. We wish all of you the very, very best. Remember to vote early by mail!

AVP: Audible Voice Phenomena are anomalous voices and sounds that are heard in real time by investigators and captured on the recorded media. The vast majority of AVP are noises--bangs, taps, gasps and moans--but rare AVP have included audible "spirit voices" as well.

Big, Scary Mess

In "Big, Scary Mess: Clutter and Its Connection To Paranormal Phenomena," we take a nonjudgmental look at the role of clutter in the claims of the paranormal, addressing the really messy business of sorting out a haunted psyche from a haunted house. It's a delicate problem, and not always just a simple matter of impugning someone's housekeeping skills.
