A Note to Our Clients

We devote many hours of research, study and analysis to each and every one of our cases; thus, we never take on more cases than we can handle. We want you to know that we will be happy to refer your case to another reputable team should we not be able to take yours on. We understand that consulting a paranormal research team can be a difficult decision. We are here to ease your concerns and assist you with questions you may have. We look forward to hearing from you and thank you for contacting the San Diego Paranormal Research Society.

Information for Cases Involving Alleged Malevolent Activity

We at the San Diego Paranormal Research Society are here to help you; however, if you’re convinced that you have a malevolent entity or you have negative energy in your location or attached to you, we strongly recommend that you contact a member of the clergy or spiritual counselor immediately and ask him / her for help. We understand how it can be a scary process to encounter something that you cannot logically explain. Through our years of study and experience as paranormal researchers, we strongly believe that authentic malevolent cases are in fact, extremely rare.  Extremely rare!
The majority of cases of alleged negative energy have to do with external factors other than true paranormal phenomena – Hollywood, the current paranormal “para-tainment” TV shows and their focus on spiritual energy being evil and wicked, occasional mental illness, religious predisposition, etc. In other words, a person may think he or she is being afflicted by some evil force; but in reality, what’s going on in that location often times has nothing to do with the supernatural, paranormal or demonic energy but external issues stemming from a person's life. This is why the San Diego Paranormal Research Society is a huge proponent of educating the public that people should not inherently fear spiritual energy as the majority of ethereal beings are benign, curious and friendly. Again, an authentic malevolent haunting is very rare.
While we don’t want to undermine your concerns, and for the reasons listed above, we do want to let prospective clients know that we elect to not take on cases of alleged malevolent and demonic forces. If, after examining your situation, you still feel that you are being afflicted by a so-called demonic entity, then we strongly encourage you to seek assistance from a member of your clergy and/or seek the help of a spiritual counselor or team that specializes in these types of cases. Of course, if you want more education on the classic signs of a malevolent haunting, then we would be happy to further speak to you; but, again, we do not take on case requests of alleged negative activity.
Due to the fact that we at the San Diego Paranormal Research Society are also parents, teachers, care givers, etc., it is important for us to keep our energy positive. In addition to reaching out to a religious institution of choice or spiritual counselor, should you feel that negative forces are bothering you, we highly suggest that you keep light, love and positive thoughts in your everyday life.

SDPRS Investigation Request

We ask that you be specific in regards to the phenomena occurring at your location. If you are under the age of 18-years-old, we ask that your legal guardian contact us as well. Please note that we only accept requests from the people directly involved and those living at the location. 

There are many factors to be considered when taking on a paranormal case study. Please understand that by filling out a research request, it doesn’t automatically mean that the SDPRS team will decide to take on your case.
​
Furthermore, we DO NOT take on cases of alleged negative or malevolent activity. If you feel that you are being afflicted by a negative force, we ask that you contact your clergy member or spiritual counselor of choice. We uphold confidentiality at all times and WE NEVER CHARGE FOR OUR SERVICES!!!

Please be informed that many other questions will be asked during the client interview, as this assists us in gaining more knowledge of what may be occurring on your property. Please understand that all information from the client interview and investigation(s) will remain STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL between client and SDPRS. Paranormal investigation may or may not lead to an increase in activity post-investigation. We uphold our values of respect and professionalism, which do help in reducing the possibility. However, since the paranormal is not an exact science, we cannot guarantee that you will or will not have any changes and/or increases in activity after the investigation is completed. It is for this reason that we have all clients sign a liability waiver, which addresses the aforementioned situation, prior to the start of the investigation. In addition, our team is comprised of people who have full-time jobs and other commitments. Thus, our work with SDPRS is voluntary. Please be patient, as it may take us a few days to respond to your request.
