Paranormal Investigators of Southern California

Paranormal Investigators of Southern California

Coexistence (Intention)

The investigators use various presence of various qualities of a ghost to point to the pessence of a ghost.
“We are sitting in the living room with the client and she indicates that she feels very cold.  One of our investigators notices the cold spot also.  While the client is mentioning how cold she's feeling we caught this voice say "It's me".  Evidence that the temperature can be manipulated by a spirit.”
Premises (Facts/Truths)

Website indicates that if multiple “experts” agree on the conclusion of a clip then it is concrete.
“Two investigators analyzed this clip and both agreed that it most likely was saying "Get Out".”

Premise Modifiers (Interpretive Schemes)

Investigators limit the field of interpretation so only one conclusion can be drawn from the situation.
Still in the master bedroom, we are sitting on the bed and asking questions when this whistling is heard in the background.  Cyndee and I are the only two people upstairs,  Everyone else was downstairs at the time.  And no one was whistling.”

Example (Single)

The combination of abnormal EMF readings and the whisper point to the existence of a ghost.
"We are sitting in the formal living room and getting EMF readings on our K2's. They appear to respond to our questions and this EVP and sigh is heard during this event"
