PCH Paranormal

Appeal to Authority:

“Our intentions are to deliver our clients the truth without filter.”
The author is trying to tell you that they will give you the straight truth. They don’t say that they’ll give it to you with any explanation whatsoever.
Accent:

“We enter all locations with skeptical minds to try and answer or disprove a claim of a ghost or haunting before we EVER state that it could be something paranormal.”
I this quote, the word “EVER” is being emphasized to make sure they never think of there being anything paranormal in the first place.
Hasty Generalization:

“Members of this team have all had their own personal experiences with the paranormal. From childhood to recent encounters, we all have had things happen to us whether it was physically, verbally, or emotionally that we could not explain.”
In this quote, it talks about the members of this team having their own paranormal experiences but with no evidence. By this, I mean no actual stories of their experiences have been told.
