Hampton Roads Paranormal Research Group is a not for profit group that was formed in October of 1997 by Belinda Swindell and Richard Thomas. Our purpose is to research and document paranormal activity, assist those who are dealing with unexplained phenomena, and to share the knowledge we gain with the public. We achieve this by offering free investigations of homes or businesses where unexplained phenomena is occuring.
We also seek out historical and other sites that are open to the public for the purposes of gaining research experience. We offer free membership into our group to teach others the techniques of gathering and documenting evidence. We realize that in our chosen field of study it is impossible to prove anything as irrefutable evidence of life after death but we have set and maintain high standards for our group. Our investigators study, discuss and review every photograph, audio recording and video recording before it is published on our website or through any other medium.
If you would like further information about our group or if we can assist you in anyway please contact us through the link in the sidebar.
