by Kris Sedersten As a paranormal investigator I am often asked about which pieces of equipment are necessary to perform an investigation. Choosing equipment can seem pretty complicated to a beginner; especially those with limited funds. A starter kit can be relatively inexpensive and user friendly. It is not necessary for an individual or a newly formed team to start out with all the bells and whistles...

by Kris Sedersten Electronic voice phenomena or EVP is a term used to describe unexpected sounds or voices that often show up on replay of recording media during paranormal investigations.

One of the questions I’m commonly asked as a paranormal investigator is, “What are shadow people?” Like most aspects of the paranormal there is no definitive answer. In my experience, it seems these dark, elusive beings appear with varying characteristics. The one commonality is that they are very frightening to the observer. Shadow people appear as blacker than black human silhouettes. They...
