Frequently Asked Questions We get a lot of questions. Here are some answers to the most common ones. Bear with us as we continue to work on this page. Q: I have some evidence I'd like you to look at. Will you review it? A: We're always interested in looking at or listening to potential evidence. We don’t always have time to do a thorough examination of the photos or recordings we get, but we will be happy to review them and offer our opinion. Please post your evidence at a free image or video hosting service, then provide us with a link -- don't send us the file directly -- and we'll take a look at it. Q: How can I become a member of The PI-Team? A: The best way to apply for membership is to send us a concisely-written resume via email. Give us the basic information about yourself that you would include on a job application, then follow that up with an explanation of whatever past experiences you've had in research and investigations. Be sure to list any specific skills or talents you might have, no matter how obscure. Then tell us why we need you. (This is not the time to be modest.) Please also understand that we're a small team, and that we get several resumes every month. While we try to reply to all of them, a personal response isn't always possible. Be assured however that we do read them, and appreciate your interest in the team. Q: How far will you travel for an investigation? A: It depends a lot on the individual case. We have traveled up to 700 miles round trip for an investigation involving children, but we can't make that kind of commitment if there isn't a serious problem. Your best bet is to contact us and ask. It might be something we can help you with via emails or over the phone. Q: Do you allow non-members to go with you on an investigation to observe? A: This is another question we get quite often. Unfortunately, we cannot allow non-members to accompany us on investigations because of privacy concerns and safety issues. There are a few less than reputable organizations that claim to be paranormal teams, but they charge for their tours and are basically in it for the money. We don't recommend them because any evidence they collect is potentially contaminated by having too many inexperienced individuals in the building. Occasionally, legitimate teams will hold an "open" investigation and allow non-members to participate, but they won't charge for it. We've done that on occasion, and consider that the best way to experience a real paranormal investigation. Please understand that we don't have a problem with organizations offering ghost tours for profit. We just don't feel that these are legitimate fact-finding investigations, and that any evidence collected there should be viewed as highly suspect. Q: Will you speak at our group function? Do you charge a fee? A: We'd love to share our knowledge and experiences. We don't charge for places like schools or libraries, but we do charge for some commercial venues. All proceeds from these events are used in accordance with state and federal laws pertaining to non-profit organizations. In other words, we use the money to update our equipment. If you are not certain which category your group falls into, please email us and ask.
