About us:

BSPHI is a not for profit organization based out of the Bellefontaine, Ohio.  We are a diverse group of people with expertise ranging in engineering, construction, sales and marketing, photographer, factory workers and other areas.  We are composed of couples and individuals.  Every one is unique and brings with them their own experiences, beliefs and insight.

We conduct investigations into the paranormal in a scientific manner.  Our main mission is to seek out suspected haunted locations and to assist those who are experiencing paranormal events. We then search for ‘solid’ evidence of the paranormal and try to determine if the location is haunted. We seek genuine evidence and are sensitive with the presentation of this evidence insuring that it is researched and analyzed before presented to the public.

By using the scientific method, we are able to obtain tangible evidence.  We look for evidence that leaves not doubt about its origin, cause and effect.

The scientific method has four steps

• 1. Observation and description of a phenomenon or group of phenomena.
• 2. Formulation of a hypothesis to explain the phenomena. In physics, the hypothesis often takes the form of a causal mechanism or a mathematical relation.
• 3. Use of the hypothesis to predict the existence of other phenomena, or to predict quantitatively the results of new observations.
• 4. Performance of experimental tests of the predictions by several independent experimenters and properly performed experiments.

We are ‘hopeful skeptics.’  We will question all of the evidence that is collected and we will test the evidence against a number of theories, tests and second opinions before we label it as paranormal.

The credibility of the group must be maintained above all.  We do not work with psychics or conduct investigations using metaphysical methods. In addition, we do not claim to be experts in the paranormal, as no experts exist when it comes to the supernatural, no matter what anyone may claim or who may claim to be one. We are instead working to present an image of competent researchers who are collecting the most authentic empirical evidence possible. BSPHI investigations are held to the standards of the group and are conducted with integrity, honesty and with discretion.
