First established in 2015 The Paranormal Research Institute is a unique organization in the field of paranormal investigation and discovery. The core members of the PRI come from many different professions and areas of expertise, yet all members work together to advance the study of paranormal knowledge through coordinated field experimentation, careful documentation and extensive data analysis. Sound engineers, photographers, and a parapsychologist work side by side with sensitives, investigators, and cartographers to create a foundation of solid, repeatable and scientific data which is then archived, analyzed and openly shared with anyone interested. Our REG experiment has been a work in progress for several years and appears to be now in its final stages of data gathering before publication.
