FAQ

I think my house may be haunted. What should I do?
Dealing with a haunting can be a stressful situation. It's natural to fear what you don't understand. Fear and anxiety often serve to make the situation seem worse than it actually is. Focus on educating yourself. Our Recommended Reading or staff articles pages are a good place to start.


I think my house may be haunted. Can you help?
We simply do not have the time and manpower to get involved in every case we're contacted about. Typically, we only get involved in cases where families or property owners feel threatened or feel that they are in crisis.


What is EVP? Is it real?
EVP is Electronic Voice Phenomenon or sometimes Electromagnetic Voice Phenomenon is the practice of capturing the “voices” of ghosts on tape recorders. In fact, one of our countries founding fathers, Ben Franklin, was obsessed with this concept in his later years and was working on a device to communicate with the dead.


Are you like the TAPS TV or Paranormal State?
Yes and no. There are some significant differences, but we generally share the same approach. We always look for a mundane explanation before assuming the situation is paranormal. We believe firmly in the use of psychic mediums to quickly and easily pinpoint the sources of activity in a haunting. We also make a sincere and honest effort to counsel our clients and educate them on how they best might deal with their situation.


Can ghosts hurt you?
Yes, absolutely they can, but rarely have the motivation to do so. Do most of the people you encounter in your daily life have any reason to harm you? If they did have reason would they? Most people we encounter in our daily lives are generally good people. The vast majority of ghosts are the same. They have little or no motivation to try and harm you unless they themselves feel threatened or feel you are disrespecting their space.


Are ghosts “evil” or “demonic”? How do I know if I have a demon in my house?
First of all, the VAST majority of hauntings are caused by human spirits. Ghosts usually have very little motivation to hurt anyone and are not inherently good or evil just as people are not inherently good or evil. People have a capacity for both good and evil and most people in the world are fairly good or at least would not intend to do you harm. In our years of investigation as a group we have encountered non-human entities, but these spirits very seldom have any motivation to hurt anyone.

In our experience, you have a better chance of being hit by lightning than being host to a demonic possession. Most clients are simply shaken up and afraid because they’ve never encountered a ghost before or lived in a haunted location. 


How much do you charge?
Not a dime. We are a completely volunteer organization. We have never charged a client and likely never will. If we agree to travel a long distance or incur some other unusual expense on behalf of the client we may ask for reimbursement, but that's about it.

By keeping the service free it can never be said that we do what we do to take advantage of others, etc. In reality, the costs are usually minimal anyway, because we only take clients in the Houston area, we hand-pick our clients and we typically use a minimal amount of gear. The majority of our work occurs through volunteer mediums who simply want to reach out and help the community.


Are the photos on your website real?
No, they are not real unless they're on the Photos & Reports page. Most of them are just intended for decoration.
