Family owned and operated, the team consists of seven members who's personal experience and knowledge enables them to collaborate collectively and on separate occasions which simplifies the countless hours of research required to bring light to the situation.
With over twenty years of first hand experience; "P.P.R.I." stands alone as an investigative research organization that not only seeks the truth behind the mystery, but also investigates events to the point of exhaustion. So far through collaboration with S.C.O.P.S., also of Chillicothe Ohio; we have thoroughly investigated Elizabeth's Grave in Chillicothe, Ohio, the Ghost Town of Shantyville in Richmondale, Ohio, the Moonville Tunnel in Nelsonville, Ohio, Resurrection Cemetery in Waverly, Ohio, the Memorial Cemetery in Sarasota Florida , Crosskeys Tavern in downtown Chillicothe Ohio. Recently we had the honor of researching and walking through The Guest House Bed and Breakfast. This paranormal hotspot was oozing with activity.
Through the years P.P.R.I. has investigated UFO sightings throughout the Midwest and Nevada, the enigmatic Mothman of Point Pleasant West Virginia. We've also interviewed eyewitnesses, and investigated Cattle Mutilations in Kentucky, West Virginia and Southern Ohio. P.P.R.I. has also conducted an investigation at a 300 year old cemetery in Beaufort North Carolina which just so happens to rest directly behind the former residence of Black Beard the Pirate. We've also researched and investigated the Crop formations in Peebles and Bainbridge Ohio, as well as an onslaught of Bigfoot sightings throughout Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Michigan, Vermont, South Carolina and Tennessee; and so much more.
UPDATE: On May 3rd and 4th 2008, P.P.R.I. had the opportunity to investigate the various unexplained activities in the Point Pleasant West Virginia area, as well as the city of Boston Massachusetts. Our images and findings have been added to the menu bar. Enjoy!
The quest for freedom of information has become a personal mission of mine. I have been an advocate for discovering and uncovering the truth since the age of 10 (1985). To some that may sound a little too young to become consumed with questions about such serious matters; however the JFK assassination, the Roswell incident, the Philadelphia Experiment, and other mysteries of the world, the universe and our society have always played a major role in not only our world, but also my own personal growth process. My journey started with fascinating stories that my Grandmother would tell me about local and regional ghost legends, UFO sightings, Bigfoot sightings and various other unworldly encounters. Personal experience also played a major role in my wide eyed wonder and reflection. My Mother once shared a story with me about her own personal UFO sighting. She witnessed a huge craft above her home when she was fifteen. The UFO was larger than a football field, it hovered without making a sound, it was black and glistened; reflecting the night like a mirror with four light points per end of the triangle and one primary light in the center which rotated and swirled much like a marble under water. The area in which she lived was in the middle of Ohio's very own Paranormal Triangle (between Dayton's Wright Patterson Airforce base, Piketon's Uranium enrichment plant, and Peebles' very own "GE" Military facility where reverse magnetic polarity jet propulsion engines are tested in a secure area for weapons advancement).
In 1995 I formed a paranormal research team that went by the name Ohio Supernatural Alliance (OSA). The group was active from 1995 - 1998. We tried to resurrect the team in 2004, however we had all grown apart, and some of us had moved away. On December of 2004, I befriended three individuals that had the same concept in mind, and after they realized that I have been doing this type of research since 1986, they were more than eager to get started with our own team. My new team was known as S.C.O.P.S. (South Central Ohio Paranormal Society). On January of 2008 My Wife and I left the group in order to spend more time with our new baby, and to pursue more of our own research in fields that we were more needed. This is how Parks Paranormal Research and Investigation was started.
