Just by being out there... TAPS gave each member of our group that something that we needed to start such an endeavor as ghost hunting. So props to Jason & Grant and the rest of the TAPS crew for the inspiration and for being role models for us as well as other scientifically based investigations groups out there
SPI is a paranormal investigations group located in Arizona. Our primary focus is haunting based paranormal activity - that is, we are ghost hunters!
We are a science based organization leaning toward skeptical, however we are, most of us, believers after a fashion. As a group, we believe that there is something to investigate. Basically that is as far as the group is willing to or able to believe. Some members of our organization have personal experiences with ghosts or spirits which heightens the belief that something is out there, some members of our group have no personal experiences to speak of which they cannot rationalize into a normal occurrance. But whether or not one believes there are ghosts, there are enough people who report such things as to justify the need for investigation and experimentation into the paranormal. As Mulder says "The Truth is Out There" We simply seek to find it.
Our team has no official psychics. When we investigate, we utilize the standard tools of the trade: Cameras, EMF Meters, Temperature Measuring devices, audio recorders. We record through avid note taking experiences which cannot be captured on film or audio to accompany any evidence which has been captured on audio or film
We all have day jobs, ghost hunting certainly doesn't pay the bills. But we do what a lot of people wish they could. We swallow a certain amount of fear and wander into the unknown in search of.... whatever we find.

Who I'd like to meet:
We would love to meet others with a similar interest. Additionally, we are always looking for places to investigate! We enjoy investigating public haunts (pardon the pun) as well as private residences. Our work is completely confidential unless we have express written permission to share.
