honoring the heroes of

skeptical inquiry

Apophenia: A natural psychological tendency in which patterns are discenred in random information, apophenia is the basis for other perceptual phenomena, such as pareidolia, auditory matrixing, confirmation bias, and divination. Critics of EVP frequently rely on apophenia as a catch-all explanation for why listeners identify anomalous voices in the audio medium and see ghosts in the photographic findings. Conscientious paranormal investigators, however, are vigilant self-observers and use skeptical thinking and the peer review process to avoid incidents of apophenia in their findings.

How We Build Your Case

PPI is very proud to be among a growing number of paranormal investigation groups that, like our parent organization, T.A.P.S., responds to claims of paranormal activity by attempting to disprove them.....

An EMF Anomaly

During a recent investigation of a private residence, Pacific Paranormal Investigations (PPI) documented this Electro Magnetic Field (EMF) anomaly on their infrared video cameras. Investigators Timothy Mountain (seated in frame) and Glenn Pitcher (speaking out of frame) were unable to determine the source of this EMF anomaly, and it did not reoccur during the course of the investigation. PPI presents this short video clip as part of our ongoing community outreach and education program.
