“I just want it gone!” is a phrase that we hear at almost every residential pre-investigation interview we do.  While we would like more than anything to be able to tell our client that we can do that for them, it’s simply not something we could ever guarantee.  There are a lot of reasons why this isn’t something we’re able to say, but the main reason is there is no proven method of ridding a location of paranormal activity.  So...

The PI Team takes our clients confidentially requests very seriously. This means there will be many investigations and some evidence we are not able to discuss or share publicly. That being said we also have investigations which are open season when it comes to sharing the details of these investigations. Last Friday night’s investigation at the Old Utah County Jail was one of those investigations we can share with you. This massive, abandoned structure hidden on the hillside in Utah...

We’ve received a comment from a gentleman that seems to really question our use of The Captain in investigations, and also  seems bothered by the use of dogs in the paranormal field in general. Due to the hostile tone of the comment, I’ve decided to take the high road and not get into a personal exchange with this individual, but to take this as an opportunity to publicly address the general science behind The Captain’s training for those who may...

After careful review of all the information that was compiled and of the research I had done, some of which I outlined in part I, a concept on how to proceed was developed and fine-tuned along the way. It was abundantly clear that the sense of smell was the way to go and expanded on that theory. There was nothing published that I could find that would confirm that dogs could actually see an apparition and with their limited visible...

I have had a great passion for both training dogs and the paranormal for many years. With that love came countless hours of research, classes/lectures, and reading up on both subjects. I have built a solid knowledge base in both disciplines yet to date had not seen anything at all bridging these two subjects together. To me the coupling of dogs and the paranormal together makes total sense.  Dogs have the ability to naturally detect the things we as paranormal...

I’ve been managing a paranormal investigation team for over 5 years now, and in those 5 years I have seen a lot of change, both with my team personally and in the field in general.  One of the things that has always fascinated me (and not in a good way) is the insane amount of personal drama that comes along with managing a team.  When I first started a team and we had some blow ups I chalked it off...

I’ve been a paranormal investigator for only the past 5 years, but I’ve had a lifelong fascination with all things ghost related.  My love of ghosts and hauntings can be directly attributed to two things that happened before I was 10.  The first was when I saw a shadow person in my childhood home, and the 2nd being the movie Ghost Busters. Since doing this professionally I’m amazed at how almost every person I’ve talked to that is also drawn...

The last time I checked there were over 23 paranormal investigation teams in Utah that have been active to some degree within the past year.  These vary from those who simply “investigate” for fun, to those that are serious about the paranormal field and conduct actual investigations.  If you’re experiencing paranormal activity at your home or business and are considering having a team out to investigate, here are some things you should look for and questions you should ask. 1....

Since becoming a TAPS Family member in 2007, we’ve had clients get confused on exactly what that means and how it refers to their situation.  (For more information on what the requirements are in order to become a TAPS Family Member, click here.) In order to try to avoid any misunderstandings, we would like for potential clients to read the following regarding our services. The Paranormal Investigations Team of Utah (PI-Team) is an authorized TAPS Family Member.  As part of...
