PARANORMAL TASK FORCE
PARANORMAL
TASK
FORCE™
"Your
One
Stop
Paranormal
Resource
Center"
Paranormal
Task
Force
are
a
professional
team
of
experienced
paranormal
investigators
and
researchers.
We
combine
a
unique
blend
of
humanistic
values,
and
scientific
techniques
which
result
in
a
well
formulated,
balanced
tactical
approach
to
paranormal
investigations
and
research.
Along
with
our
adherence
to
a
strict
set
of
protocols
and
standards,
our
methods
result
in
superior
client
satisfaction,
collection
of
quality
evidence
beneficial
to
the
overall
progression
of
the
paranormal
field
and
in
some
cases
bring
full
closure
for
the
client.
PARANORMAL
TASK
FORCE™
serves
its
clients
in
three
ways:
1.
PTF
fully
addresses
all
of
the
client's
needs
and
concerns,
while
respecting
their
privacy
and
beliefs.
2.
PTF
supports
the
advancement
of
the
paranormal
field
through
the
collection
of
evidence,
and
data
for
further
study.
3.PTF
fully
respects
the
unknown
realms
we
are
dealing
with,
along
with
the
potential
dangers
involved.
Through
consultation
and
other
methods,
we
have
found
that
proper
investigative
techniques,
combined
with
the
proper
analysis
can
result
in
a
mutual
and
peaceful
co-existence
between
the
human
client(s)
and
their
paranormal
inhabitant(s).
When
this
is
not
achievable,
we
consult
the
client
about
the
wide
range
of
possible
solutions
to
meet
their
needs.
The
client
is
the
one
who
makes
the
ultimate
decision
concerning
which
solution
is
best
for
them.
Paranormal
Task
Force
staff
will
never
abandon
our
clients,
and
vows
to
stay
with
them
until
resolution
to
the
issue
is
achieved.
At
Paranormal
Task
Force
we
also
realize
that
every
paranormal
situation
is
unique
and
no
two
are
exactly
alike.
As
such;
our
full
analysis,
versatile
techniques
and
abundant
resources
can
adapt
to
and
assist
with
the
complexity
of
any
situation.
Many
times
a
full
investigation
is
not
necessary.
In
many
cases
interviews,
research
and
analysis
can
provide
you
with
an
explainable
cause
or
simple
solution
to
your
predicament.
All
of
our
investigations
are
done
at
no
cost
to
you.
Most
importantly,
we
understand
your
fears
and
needs,
because
most
of
our
staff
has
experienced
or
lived
through
such
a
haunting
themselves.
We
know
what
you
are
experiencing
and
the
effects
it
may
be
having
upon
you
and
your
family.
We
care
about
you,
and
the
potential
psychological
and
physical
dangers
that
you,
and
your
family
may
be
subjected
to.
Most
of
all,
we
respect
your
privacy
and
wishes.

Administrator
MPR
Divison
Greg
Myers
has
had
personal
paranormal
encounters
since
being
a
teen
and
has
years
of
paranormal
investigative
experience.
He
is
well
versed
with
haunting
classifications,
paranormal
investigative
techniques
and
leadership
through
example.
Greg
has
served
as
a
technician
and
supervisor
while
serving
in
the
military
and
has
further
enhanced
his
education
and
abilities
with
legal
issues
while
serving
over
ten
years
in
the
legal
field.
With
his
background
of
legal
issues,
lobbying
experience
and
issue
avocation,
he
hopes
to
apply
these
skills
to
the
enactment
and
strengthening

house"
and
"psychological
impact"
disclosure
laws
for
prospective
property
owners,

vital
to

is
one
that
shares
the
philosophy
that
paranormal
investigations
can
come
with
many
unknown
dangers
which
are
not
properly
addressed
by
most
of
the
paranormal
research
field.
This
and
other
important
issues
are
overlooked
and
need
further
avocation
to
current
and
future
researchers
and
investigators
within
this
field.
Greg
adheres
to
a
Humanistic
Approach
to
investigations
developed
by
Missouri

LaChance
which
always
places
the
client
first
above
everything

2. The Atlantic Paranormal
Society (TAPS)
The
Atlantic
Paranormal
Society
(TAPS)
-
Taps
promises
to
bring
professionalism,
personality,
and
confidentiality
to
each
case
they
investigate.
The
Atlantic
Paranormal
Society
(TAPS)
is
an
organization
based
in
Warwick,
Rhode
Island,
USA
that
investigates
paranormal
activity.
It
was
founded
in
1990
by
Jason
Hawes
and
Grant
Wilson.
In
2004
the
organization
itself
became
the
subject
of
a
weekly
reality
television
series
for
the
Sci-Fi
Channel
titled
Ghost
Hunters.
Hawes
began
TAPS
in
1990;
originally
it
was
called
Rhode
Island
Paranormal
Society.
According
to
former
TAPS
member
Donna
LaCroix,
the
team
initially
began
meeting
"every
Sunday
in
a
coffee
shop."
After
RIPS
began
investigating
cases
throughout
the
New
England
area,
RIPS
was
renamed
"The
Atlantic
Paranormal
Society".
Wilson
joined
the
effort
about
two
years
later
Ghost
Hunters
is
a
reality
television
series
featuring
Jason
Hawes
and
Grant
Wilson,
who
work
a
day
job
as
Roto-Rooter
plumbers
and
investigate
places
that
are
reported
to
be
haunted.
The
show
debuted
in
October
2004
on
the
American
Sci-Fi
Channel.
It
should
not
be
confused
with
the
original
1996
Inca
Productions
show
Ghosthunters
produced
for
the
Discovery
Channel.
The
format
was
sold
to
the
US
to
become
Ghost
Hunters.
The
only
remaining
link
between
the
two
shows
is
presenter
Ian
Cashmore
who
anchored
the
UK/Europe
show.
Cashmore
piloted
the
U.S.
show,
but
chose
not
to
remain
part
of
the
US
venture
after
he
filmed
the
promos.
TAPS
sends
a
group
of
3
to
6
members
to
perform
an
8-12
hour
investigation
employing
a
number
of
infrared
and
digital
video
cameras,
thermal
camera
devices,
EMF
(electromagnetic
field)
Detectors,
digital
thermometers
and
other
equipment
throughout
the
site
in
question.
While
at
a
site,
the
members
of
the
team
often
find
common
explanations
for
the
claims
of
the
occupants.
In
conclusion
the
team
will
report
on
its
findings,
and
express
their
opinion
that
a
site
is
"haunted"
or
"not
haunted".
They
distinguish
themselves
from
other
Paranormal
groups
by
going
into
a
case
by
claiming
they
wish
to
disprove
a
haunting.
TAPS
does
not
charge
their
clients
for
the
investigations
or
consulting.

The
San
Francisco
Ghost
Society
The
San
Francisco
Ghost
Society
was
founded
by
Tommy
Netzband
as
a
small
all
volunteer
organization,
devoted
to
the
research
and
investigation
of
the
city
and
county
of
San
Francisco's
ghosts
and
paranormal
occurrences.
We
conduct
FREE,
professional
and
discreet
investigations
of
locations
where
there
have
been
reports
of
paranormal
activity
or
unexplained
occurrences.
Our
approach
is
one
of
flexible
skepticism;
we
seek
to
remain
unconvinced
by
the
end
of
the
investigation,
as
opposed
to
embracing
every
speck
of
dust
caught
on
camera
as
proof
positive
of
a
haunting.
To
this
end
we
conduct
extensive
research
about
a
prospective
site,
to
understand
its
history,
architecture,
infrastructure
and
location.
We
utilize
a
broad
spectrum
of
equipment
and
technology
to
record
and
analyze
the
course
of
the
investigation.
Our
team
members
are
all
responsible,
knowledgeable
and
professional
individuals
from
the
San
Francisco
area,
who
contribute
their
diverse
interests,
talents
and
time
to
each
investigation.

and

locations
since
he
was
a
child.
While
he
has
dabbled
in
the
field
since
1989
when
he
had
his
second
unexplained
encounter
with
the
paranormal,
he
began
his
most
serious
research
in
1998.
His
Paranomal
Community
iamhaunted.com
is
a
considered
by
many
to
be
one
the
best
interactive
groups
on

In

Alan

Rupnick

Alan
spent
a
lot
of
his
time
researching
and
talking
with
others
online.
Though
he
believed
the
Internet
was
a
great
wealth
of
information
he
felt
that
it
was
too
spread
out
and
a
lot
of
work
was
required
to
find
new
and
relevant
information.
Keeping
in
touch
with
others
in
the
field
also
proved
to
be
a
time
consuming
problem.
Because
of
the
sites
prestigious
members
this
is
considered
by
many
in
the
field
as
the
largest
collective
of
paranomal
info
and
research
groups
and
indivivuals
on
one
site.
Alan
has
always
had
a
love
for
computers
and
the
Internet.
He
had
educated
himself
in
the
art
of
web
development
and
loved
building
web
sites.
He
decided
he
would
put
his
skills
to
use
to
create
a
place
where
all
who
loved
the
paranormal
could
gather,
share
information
and
stay
in
touch.
On
November
15,
2006
he
launched
IAmHaunted.com,
a
paranormal
community
that
was
like
no
other.
It
was
an
idea
that
was
long
over
due
and
the
site
is
growing
in
leaps
and
bounds.
It
is
without
a
doubt
one
of
the
most
visited
paranormal
sites
on
the
Internet
today.
Research
Alan
continues
his
research
today.
Currently
he
is
conducting
experiments
on
the
Ouija
Board
and
EVP.
He
is
also
researching
cold
spots,
electromagnetic
fields,
battery
drain
and
other
phenomenon
that
takes
place
in
a
haunted
location.
He
believes
that
the
current
explanations
don’t
have
any
scientific
foundation
and
are
just
generic
answers
given
when
people
are
cornered
with
a
tough
question
and
don’t
have
a
legitimate
answer.

and
maintaining
the
confidentiality
of
our

at
all
times.

research
and

Our
interest
in
ghost

began
as
a

due
