What We Do

---

At the Massillon Paranormal Research Association (MPRA), we bring over 20 years of experience in researching and investigating the paranormal. Our team is dedicated to providing thorough and authentic investigations of paranormal claims. Our approach is rooted in professionalism, patience, and respect for the locations and people involved. We conduct a variety of investigations, including residential homes and historic buildings, always striving to understand and document paranormal phenomena without jumping to conclusions.

Our process begins with in-depth research known as a Spirit Profile, where we gather historical data about the location, such as previous owners, potential deaths, and significant events tied to the property. This helps us create a foundation of knowledge for each case, ensuring we understand the full context before conducting an investigation. Unlike other groups that rush to conclusions, we believe in long-term studies and investigations. Paranormal activity can be unpredictable, and a single investigation may not be enough to reveal conclusive evidence. By conducting multiple visits over time, we ensure we gather thorough and reliable data to better understand the phenomena in question.

• Residential Investigations: We explore claims of paranormal activity within homes, conducting a thorough spirit profile, and investigating with the utmost discretion.
• Historic Building Investigations: We investigate historic locations, researching their past and examining claims of hauntings linked to significant events and previous occupants.
• Spirit Profiles: We conduct detailed historical research of locations, including death records, obituaries, and other key documents, to learn about the past residents and significant events tied to the site.
• Audio/Visual Evidence Collection: We use professional equipment to gather EVP, video, and photo evidence during investigations and analyze all data thoroughly.
• Long-Term Studies: We believe that a single investigation may not provide the complete picture of a haunting. Therefore, we often conduct long-term studies that span multiple investigations over time to ensure our findings are accurate, credible, and well-supported by evidence.
• Public Education & Lectures: We offer lectures, meet-and-greets, and public events to educate the community about paranormal research and our investigative process.

Our long-term approach allows us to detect patterns and verify findings across multiple visits, ensuring that our conclusions are based on solid evidence, not one-off anomalies.

During investigations, we use a variety of scientific tools, including digital recorders, EMF meters, thermal cameras, and other specialized equipment to document evidence of potential hauntings. After the investigation, we present our findings to the client with full transparency and respect for their privacy.
