After much historical research, visits to the library and courthouse, speaking with past residents (if possible), the Case manager of the team will conduct an interview with the house, or business owner to find out what they have been experiencing. Not all experiences disclosed by the person requesting an investigation will be given to the team. This keeps the research more scientific and the minds of the investigators untainted, or unbiased.
Sometimes, S.P.R. will set up IR cameras throughout the building and property (at the owners discretion) in an attempt to capture what the individuals have been experiencing in private. S.P.R. will then schedule a time to come in and investigate — preferably at night and when the owners are gone to make sure the space is quiet and uncontaminated.
The investigation team will bring in audio recorders, night vision cameras, digital cameras with flash, video recorders and thermal scanners to check for hot and cold spots, etc... One part of the team will watch the camera monitors, and teams of two or three will investigate suspect rooms, never sharing what they experience so the team after them won’t be influenced and so similar experiences can provide validation.
After the investigation, Sheridan Paranormal Research evaluates its footage from its eight video cameras and voice recorders. Finally, the team will sit down with the client and discuss what was found, pointing out any ghostly images or voices that were discovered — or explaining the physical causes that were found. The team will also offer advice on what to do next. Be in mind that the total investigation takes time. Sometimes, months. There is a lot of data to go through and "proving or disproving" what we have found, and/or the client has experienced. S.P.R. goes into every investigation with an open, but skeptical point of view. We believe our clients have experienced something. Sheridan Paranormal is determined to find out what that something is. The client is kept apprised throughout the investigation.
