HOPPS Ghost Hunters

We've had some problems arise recently that I think I should address here on our site, just so people understand our process.

1.  Our investigations are free

2.  The first step is gathering the information (sometimes takes days)

3.  We research the case history, including past tenants of homes, rumors of  actrivty in and near a location, ask questions you must answer about yourself or the people affected,

4.  We ask you questions you must be active in seeking out answers to such as medical,  psychological and emotional history, as well as drug use to include current prescription drugs, non prescription drugs and recreational use of drugs.

5. Once the other possible answers for your problem are ruled out, we will make an appointment to see you at the location for a preliminary check of the area.

6. If we cannot determine other possible causes for activity (such as high EMF, carbon monoxide poisoning, etc.) we will estabish an investigation date.

7.  We require all pets to be removed from the home during an investigation and only the minimum of people can remain in the home.  Usually this is the person affected only, unless they are minors or feel the need for emotional support.  This is not a spectator endeavor.

8.  Investigations results are not immediate, they can take weeks sometimes due to our case load, but if we perceive anything unusual or unsafe during an investigation that case will take priority.

9,. Our recommendations are recommendations only.  If you're not willing to work toward resolving the problem as we suggest, we cannot help you much further. 

I had to put this on here so people understand we're not just jumping in without knowing what we're doing. We follow what we feel is a safe avenue for both us and the client, with methods that are required to ensure that safety.  We certainly don't want to make things worse with our presence.  Sometimes people will not accept that fixing the electrical problem or leaking flue pipe may be the cause of the activity, but simply put, we must try to rule out the obvious first.  I will try to help with simple things like that, (maybe just sealing a pipe correctly) but may require you to call in someone certifted to make a determination as to the severity of the problem.   We may recommend calling in a priest or other religious authority to conduct a blessing of a home.  We can recommend this, perhaps contact one for you, but you must be active helping yourself as well.  To be fair, the problem usually must be resolved by the person who is most affected, we are there to help you do this safely, give you a support structure, and document events to prove or disprove paranormal activity exists.  We are not trying to be famous, rich or have an underlying agenda, we simply want to help and experience the things with you and try to explain the sometimes no-so-obvious.
