Maine Ghost Hunters’ Mission Statement |
Our mission is to assess environments for paranormal activity with a primary approach via a skeptically based method, and a secondary approach via a “sensitive” or psychic method. If paranormal activity is found we will do our best to resolve the situation in a way that is acceptable to those involved, while prioritizing the best interests of our clients at all times. |
Extended Mission Statement |
Who are we? We’re a core group of 3 members with varying degrees of skill and knowledge in our individual chosen areas of primary interest. Technically speaking, we have a solid knowledge base in the hardware and software components used in many (if not all) of our investigation procedures. We have in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of many of the “gadgets” used during investigations along with the ability and knowledge to manipulate them in a manner which best suits individual investigations. As a group, we’ve studied for years regarding matters of the paranormal, either by the written word, casual personal experience, or organized “group” investigations. We’re well versed in the attraction, dangers, and awe of the paranormal and the unknown. The spiritual side of our expertise is something we hold of the utmost importance and are more than willing to address with those clients seeking a deeper understanding, should they consider their home to be “haunted” by the results of our skeptic-based investigation results. What separates our team from other respected paranormal investigation groups in the State of Maine? We offer services that extend the ability to give you our opinion on whether or not your home is haunted. We aren’t simply at your service for a ghost investigation; we’re at your service to help you come to terms with the realities of why you sought our services in the first place. Our goals are to collect data to the best of our ability on your behalf; to offer that data to you in a way you can understand and best handle emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically, and to help you come to an ultimate resolution that suits your needs as an individual, family, or “group” as a whole. We place skeptic-based methods and means ahead of psychic intuition because we know, all too well, that the “logical”, physical facts approach, is very likely how you “live” your everyday life. We engage our services on your behalf with the understanding that if you were psychic you wouldn’t need us to verify whether or not your home, or the environment in question, contains paranormal activity. It’s for this reason we may implore the expertise of team sensitive(s), but almost certainly after a skeptic-based approach has been fully exhausted to the best of our collective ability. Plainly spoken, “the ‘psychic’ validates the skeptic”, which leaves little room for clients, peer groups, and the “profession” as a whole, to question the validity of our findings. The evidence we present to you will almost certainly withstand the tests of time, fads of future ghost hunting procedures, peer review, and paranormal skepticism alike. If we can meet all of these standards for you, to the best of our collective ability, then we can consider our involvement in your paranormal experience to be “a job well done”. |
Goals of Maine Ghost Hunters |
- To bring evidence and education of paranormal activity, or the lack thereof, to our clients to the best of our collective ability by the following criteria:
- To approach each investigation environment with a primary/initial focus on the skeptic approach toward evidence collection.
- To approach each investigation environment “through the eyes of the client” as a means to gain a perspective as close to the client’s day-to-day living experiences as possible.
- If we should experience paranormal activity while conducting ourselves in this manner, it will bring us closer to the client’s perspective on what is happening to them or around them.
- Imploring the specialties of a psychic as a means to validate our collected data/evidence or any “paranormal” occurrences experienced by our team members during investigation.
- Psychics may be involved with our investigations, but their abilities are more likely to be sought to help us understand those incidents/occurrences that fell outside of the “normal” range of expected happenings during the skeptic approach portion of our investigation.
- Our group will do our best to provide each client with a detailed copy of evidence collected that is pertinent to the aspect of “paranormal”.
- Collected data may come in various standard forms including, but not limited to; Audio recordings, video recordings, photography, and psychic intervention/communication.
- Our group exists to assist people who are seeking help with determining whether or not they have paranormal activity in their homes (or other environments they otherwise spend a great deal of time in).
- We do not discriminate based on ability to donate or otherwise fund our investigation at the request of a potential client.
- We may accept any generous contributions and /or donations from those who believe in the services we provide, but will not initiate financial discussions with any clients or potential clients because our services are free.
- To offer our services and group member expertise to residents throughout the State of Maine, parts of Massachusetts, and portions of New Hampshire that lay within a reasonable distance to the border of our home state of Maine.
- We’re also open to giving referrals to brethren Paranormal Research and Ghost Hunting groups in Maine, particularly if:
- We’re overbooked with investigations
- Are presented with a prospective investigation that far-exceeds our normal distance of operations
- Are presented a case that we’d consider out of our range of ability to help.
- We’re also open to giving referrals to brethren Paranormal Research and Ghost Hunting groups in Maine, particularly if:
