OUR INVESTIGATIONS

         
There are a few Phases and techniques we use in conducting our Investigations.
 
*Research Phase--In this portion of the investigation, we try and conduct interviews with the people associated with area. They may range from the people who have encountered anomolies first hand, to people that may know the history of area and have a story to tell about it.  With this information we try and gather information, as experiences they've had, names, and dates, that will give us a background of what we may or may not encounter.
 
   Another resource we use are the local historical societies.  They're a valuable source of documented histories of the area, and what I've found pretty accurate.  There may be a small fee for doing this but  it is well worth it.

   The county recorders' office is another source of information. They can provide names of previous owners of area, date a building was erected. among other information. Here also, there is a small fee if you want the information copied.

 

   The Internet is also one of the tools we will use.  We use this such as in geneology searches to cross referencing information previously acquired. There generally is a lot of information out on the web

 

 

 

PUBLIC INVESTIGATIONS

 

     Public Areas of investigations are for us very educational.  We generally get to learn the history of the area.  Most public areas also have some sort of historical significance attached to it.  The downside of doing an investigation in a public area are somewhat the same as a cemetery investigation.  There are sometimes time constraints, and as always respect others using the area, and any laws that are enforced for the area.  You may be able though administrators of the area to set aside a scheduled investigation time.

                                                                            *NOTE*

 

We as a team, feel that disturbing or vandalizing any site we are on, is not only wrong but a violation of the law. I stress the point, that vandalizing sites such as cemetery headstones ect..only helps in erasing a portion of history and records of the past.  We try and do our part by not littering,cleaning up our and others trash, ect when circumstances allow us to do so.

          For those that are into exploring such sites, please try and leave things as you had found them.

Historical Societies sometimes need volunteers in help restoring such places. If you are interested in volunteering, contact your local Historical Society.  Thank you
