PRI News

The last few months have been a busy time for PRI. In addition to our ongoing investigation, we were fortunate enough to investigate a significant historic landmark at the end of August. We are still in the process of reviewing all of the photographs and recordings taken at this site. Until permission is granted, unfortunately, we will not be able to divulge much about this case.

Check back soon for more details.

As noted previously, PRI has been conducting an ongoing investigation at an historic location in the Niagara area. We have posted an interim report on our findings thus far, including a potential EVP. A link to the report along with the audio capture has been posted in the Reports section of the PRI website.

Site Update

Over the past week, we have been experimenting with different solutions to a technical problem with the embedded audio players throughout the website. We have settled (for now, at least) on a new Flash player, which should avoid the problems that come with relying on a third-party site.

Over the past few weeks, PRI has been field testing a new addition to its arsenal of investigation equipment: a full-spectrum camera.  In short, we modified a Canon G-series digital camera by removing its infrared filter (hot mirror) and replacing it with a custom-made clear one.  Though we have yet to capture any evidence of paranormal activity with the camera, we are looking forward to further experimenting with full-spectrum photography.

During one of the camera field tests, we captured an interesting audio anomaly on a Zoom H2 recorder.  As always, a summary report of the investigation along with the audio clip (and any other evidence that may arise during our analyses) will be posted on the PRI website.  However, before doing so, we are planning to conduct further investigations at the site in an attempt to identify possible causes (natural or paranormal) of the potential Electronic Voice Phenomenon, and gather any more evidence that may present itself.  Stay tuned!

A summary of PRI's three-night paranormal investigation of a mid-19th century building in the Niagara Region has (finally) been added to the Reports section of the website. Spoiler alert: we did not find any evidence of a haunting at this location, but we were able to put forth some natural explanations for the claims of activity.

We hope that you have a happy Easter!

PRI has confirmed an investigation of a private (undisclosed) business in the very near future.  Out of respect for the owner and employees of this establishment, very little information regarding its exact location will be provided.

We are looking forward to the opportunity to test out some of our newer investigation equipment on this case, including a Zoom H2 audio recorder and a motion-activated IR camera. 

Check back soon for the results!

Also, PRI has relocated its centre of operations. We are now based in the Niagara region in Ontario, and will therefore be conducting most of our investigations in that area. We are excited about the opportunities this will bring for our research into the paranormal, as it seems like every corner of this area contains stories of alleged hauntings. Nevertheless, we remain strongly connected with the London area, and hope to conduct further investigations there in the future.

Thank you for your patience during this time of transition. We hope that this change will lead to more investigation reports and possible evidence of paranormal activity in 2010!
