About me: SSPRS: Who We Are
SSPRS: Who We Are
SSPRS stands for Southern States Paranormal Research Society. We are a not-for profit scientific research team dedicated to the pursuit and collection of evidence of survival phenomena, based in Northeast Tennessee. Our area of coverage is the entire eastern seaboard in the southern states regions.
We are, simply stated, a group of people brought together by our common bonds of curiosity, knowledge, integrity, honesty and a brush with something that we cannot explain at some point in our lives, leaving us with a yearning to understand the world around us.
Our goals are simple. We aim to provide proof for the continuation of the human soul after physical bodily death, and to obtain and study objective scientific evidence that supports this phenomenon.
It is in this light of knowledge seeking and understanding, that we investigate claims of hauntings and claims of the paranormal, and to help people find a measure of closure and understand what is happening to them. This is the SSPRS. This is who we are.
Founded in 2003, SSPRS has served the Tennessee state area for more than six years and is a proud member of the Infinity Paranormal Network and a proud TAPS Family Member.

More about Infinity: A Paranormal Network.
In 1992, the Infinity Paranormal Network founder had an encounter with a demonically possessed individual. Since that experience, her interest in the paranormal became very stimulated. She began using library resources and interviewing others who have also experienced paranormal activity to further her research for better understanding and to quench her thirst for personal knowledge.
In 1998, she used this acquired knowledge as a foundation to form a local research group known as Ghostridaz Paranormal Research Team. This research group remained intact and active until the summer of 2004 with the loss of only one member. With the addition of six more members in June, 2004 our founder decided it was time for some changes. New members. New equipment. New beginning.
July, 2004. INFINITY Paranormal Investigations was created. Consisting of twelve active members, this team took on a new view with paranormal investigations. Each were given a specific function to perform within the group. Trainings and field investigations began to intensify the credibility of this group. Respect was being built among team members as wellas the paranormal community.
December, 2004. INFINITY Paranormal Investigations changed its title to INFINITY Paranormal Investigations Network. The coverage area for IPIN was restricted to local counties in West Virginia and surrounding states. (Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky) The team decided it was time to expand to other areas. By attempting consolidation with Northern Appalachia Paranormal Society based in Cambridge, Ohio under the agreements to act as an expansion of INFINITY, NAPS became known as INFINITY's Northern Operations. With this consolidation, INFINITY was now also able to offer services to those located in Northern West Virginia, Eastern and South-Eastern Ohio, and Western Pennsylvania.
February, 2005. With using the resources available in an online IRC chat, INFINITY Paranormal Investigations begins a new journey by founding a program designed to bring together groups across the states and around the globe by designing and providing an online community, accessible 24 hours a day.
Being assisted in this journey by twelve other paranormal teams, such as C.O.P.S., C.G.P.I., and more. The task became a universal effort by those involved and now were able to provide an online forum filled with information for users seeking knowledge. This became known as the Para-Investigators Online Paranormal Assistance Program.
September, 2005. INFINITY PIN with affiliates from the P.O.P.A.P. program and fellow divisions of INFINITY designed a new project targeted to help newer groups just venturing into the field to find mentorship and advice from more seasoned paranormal teams.
Being based on a 'big brother/big sister' type program, INFINITY is currently attempting to make this project a success by finding senior groups willing to lend a hand, and knowledge to some new guys. This project is known as N.O.P.A.P. - Navigators Online Para-Apprentice Project.
