PURPOSE: Greetings, seekers of the unexplainable! We are an active and reliable investigation group made up of four individuals (sometimes more) and are located in the Pacific Northwest of Washington State. We are a small family group for a reason; to ensure that places get investigated properly without human contamination. We trust each other completely with both personal experiences and equipment handling. Each individual has been through a background check for the clients personal assurance.
Our main goal is to find as much evidence as possible to hopefully one day prove that ghosts and other unexplained phenomena actually exist using the scientific approach. Be sure to browse around our entire website. If you ever need to get a hold of us with an investigation idea or you are experiencing paranormal activity yourself, please feel free to email us and we will contact you ASAP.

Upcoming Investigations:
Walker-Ames House, Port Gamble, WA Date: November 21, 2009
We will be performing our first investigation of the Walker-Ames House in Port Gamble, WA on November 21st. Our goal is to investigate this location for 4-5 hours.
Visitors to the Walker-Ames House report a variety of phenomena from feelings of dread to full bodied apparitions. Residents in the town are well aware of the building's reputation and many are able to add their own experiences to the legend. The owner of the Port Gamble general store reported seeing the apparition of three small children through an upstairs window. There have been reports that the attic light comes on and off when there is no one in the building. A crew using the Walker-Ames home as a setting for a theatrical release reported that employees were reluctant to go into the basement alone and that one staff member had returned from the basement with a hand print on her leg after reporting that she had been grabbed.

WALKER-AMES HOUSE IN PORT GAMBLE, WA
Georgetown Castle, Seattle, WA Date TBD
The Georgetown "Castle" is located in an old industrial, red light district of Seattle, WA. A large 3 story, turn of the century, Victorian style home, was reportedly built in 1903 by Peter Gessner, who was a gambler and blackjack dealer at the famous Central Tavern in Seattle's Pioneer Square District. More...Having trouble with the local authorities for running "questionable" gambling and prostitution activities, he decided to move his operations farther out of town, to avoid too much unwanted attention, turning the home into an infamous brothel and gambling parlor. He died a gruesome death one year later, committing suicide in the house by drinking carbolic acid.
The home was then purchased around 1912 by Dr. Willis H. Corson who was a former superintendent and head coroner of the King County Hospital, located close by. This hospital and it's grounds, which at the time surrounded the house, served as the county poor house and tent city for tuberculoses patients, as well as a crematorium that was used to burn the bodies. The house has a long history of paranormal activity and unexplained accounts. Numerous violent and supernatural events surround the home. A prostitute was reportedly murdered with a shotgun by her john "Manny" on the second floor. There are reports of a ghostly apparition of a woman in black, with burning coal for eyes grasping at her throat, waking tenants from their sleep on the top floor. She is believed to be the ghost of a previous resident, a "Spanish woman," who possibly killed her newborn babies and buried them under the stairs surrounding the home. Countless reports of strange sights, sounds, mysterious voices and hidden rooms make this definitely one of Seattle's most haunted places.
