To all of our new friends and visitors: Welcome to the official website of The West Virginia Paranormal Research Society. Our site is undergoing many changes, and a lot of brand new content will be viewable within the next few weeks. In the meantime, we encourage you to register on our forums and introduce yourself.
At the conference this weekend, WVPRS was interviewed by famous "skeptical paranormal" talk show host Rick Wood ( http://www.audiomartini.com/ ). The audio interview will be played along with his audio interviews with the founders of TAPS and CPRI (CPRI is the organization that hosted the event.)
The show will be broadcasted to radio stations all across America, and a few in the United Kingdom.
I finally managed to get the rest of the site brought up on the new server... it was a MySQL nightmare, but it's done. :)
Unfortunately... as you might have noticed, a lot of the images didn't transfer over. I'm going to see if Ricky can pull them off from the old board. In the mean time, feel free to upload new ones to the gallery. It won't hurt anything, and you won't lose them when I add the old ones.
In related news: The system for uploading and viewing evidence and case files to the website is almost complete.
Emergency Meeting @ 6:30 Weds. night 2-8-05 boston beanery. - FULL MEMBERS ONLY. -Need to discuss moving next weekends hunt to this weekend. -If you can't make it to the meeting, call me tonight to discuss your thoughts.
10:15 - Anyone who needs to, meet Aj at sheetz in star city 10:30 - EVERYONE meet at ricky's. Please don't be late, lots to discuss. 11:00 - Head over to house for investigation. Have amber do some PR work, getting them to give us a tour / explain the paranormal activity to us. I want to limit this to amber, myself (for episode purposes), and 2 explorers. 11:30 - Begin "Prank" sweep. This is a new idea we're going to try. Basically, this case (and sat. night's case) both have a pretty high chance of someone being "hidden" in a closet or have some kind of speaker hidden under a bed, etc... I'd like the explorers to do this. I feel this will add an extra layer of credibility to any evidence we do discover, and if it works out, this may find it's way into our standard operations :) 12:00 - Discuss findings of tour and sweep, and on the recomendation of the explorers, send in the geeks to set up tech equipment. 12:15-12:30 - Begin Investigations. Tonight we will be attempting our new "house sweep" plan of sending in teams one at a time in 3 small groups. Each group will take half an hour. 12:30 - Begin Group 1 investigation 1:00 - Begin Group 2 investigation 1:30 - Begin Group 3 investigation 2:00 - Pack up gear and head home.
Please don't leave after your group has completed investigation, and please remember to act "professional" while your waiting.
