MEET THE TEAM.....
ABOUT PPP:
Laurie Champion, the director of Pinellas/Pasco Paranormal at the age of fifty one,,has been in this field for thirty one years. She got into the field because she herself was the victim of a hostile haunt for years as a child. She and her team have much experience with all kinds of hauntings and some cryto cases. We do not do UFO investigation. PPP is not an evidence gathering only organization. We actually specialize in helping to alleviate hostile activity in the home of our clients. We never charge a fee and are very confidential with our clients. Pinellas/Pasco gets most of it's cases from word of mouth as they are well established in the area and have an excellent track record with hostile haunt cases. We also take all local cases and do what we call a sitting to get evp communication with a spirit, when the people in the home want to try and find out who the ghost is, just for their peace of mind, even if the ghost is not hostile. We do however always give priority to hostile haunt cases. We give top priority to those cases where children are being targeted by a spirit. If you are local we can be there within 24 to 48 hours.
We are here to help people who are experiencing distressing activity in their homes. We try to gather information to try and solve a haunting, not just take pictures and video. We are EVP specialists, as we believe that EVP is the best form of communication we have to date. We also take cases occasionally in Hillsborough county. We refer out of state cases to colleagues who are able to help people in other areas of the United States and the UK. We have been featured on the cover of Creative Loafing Magazine and on Channel Ten Studio Show in 2007, but we usually keep a low profile as we do not have publicity as our goal in this field.
We are affiliated with IPPO and are listed on many paranormal registration lists on the net. We will stay with most cases until they are solved or resolved, unless we are unable to help any further, then we will tell you your options from there. We can not promise to get rid of your ghost or entity but we will at least try. We currently have a staff of seven people and some part time additional field people. We usually never take more than four people to a case unless it is a large building or vast location.We wear normal clothing with no logos for both the privacy of the client and so as not to announce ourselves as the ghost police to any spirits that may be in someone's home. We have found that this method gets us more evidence captures and makes things less dramatic for all concerned.
We have done ongoing research in the same location for many years and have tested many of our methods sucessfully there. We help other new teams learn how to get better evps and offer them our experience with what we have learned in the field thus far. We believe in Paranormal unity in the field and try to foster that unity by working with other teams in harmony. We do not claim to be experts as in this field there are NO experts.
