IN A TIME OF PLAGUE

In light of California Governor Gavin Newsom's "shelter in place" orders, and in consideration of the guidelines set forth by the CDC to combat the spread of COVID-19, all requests for on-premises investigations will be put on hold until otherwise deemed safe to resume normal daily operations. Additionally, PPI's 2020 "Science and The Beyond" presentations scheduled at local public libraries and learning institutions in the month of October have been postponed. We are currently considering a "distance education" version of our presentations to offer instead, details of which will be made available in the coming months. In the meantime, please remember to responsibly socially distance yourself, wear your mask in public, and safeguard your health and the well-being of others. We wish all of you the very, very best. Remember to vote early by mail!

Floor Plans: Blueprints of a venue are a reminder of where PPI equipment was located during the investigation, where paranormal hotspots were reported by the client, where noteworthy anomalies were recorded, and where sources of high EMF were documented. Collectively this information can assist investigators in the crucial post-investigation stage and provide a visual point of reference when comparative analysis of findings and experiences is undertaken.
