MORE ABOUT THE FOUNDERS:

The Southern California Paranormal Research Society was founded by Sandi and Dan. These two soul mates met in October of 2006 and immediately knew their lives were destined to be together. Both Sandi and Dan consider themselves sensitive since birth and have always shared a connection and deep respect for the spirit world. They were married in August of 2007.

As members of several local paranormal groups, they both realized their gifts allowed them a different view of the paranormal world around them. Other groups shunned their abilities, preferring to stick to strictly scientific methods. As a result, Sandi and Dan knew they needed to start their own group that welcomed those with similar abilities as well as form a support group for those living with the paranormal. Sandi and Dan wanted bring to the forefront a new vision and a new style of paranormal investigators. Each founder uses his/her sensitive and medium skills to help in the acquisition of scientific data used in documenting various forms of paranormal activity. While many groups push science as the primary tool they use on investigations, SOCALPRS does the opposite. The results are astounding. The team has captured some of the most impressive scientific documentation in a short amount of time. 

Combining our natural senses with investigative skills has led to one conclusion: While attempting to assist those living in a haunted situation, the evidence we collect tends to be on a higher caliber than most groups who refuse to include the psychic/sensitive investigators and rely on scientific methods alone. We also have a high success rate in diagnosing and solving the clients paranormal problems This is a win/win scenario, bringing resolutions to those families and individuals living in fear of the paranormal and allowing us to possess a consistently high caliber of EVP's, photographic, video and scientific evidence.

We look at ourselves as Bloodhounds. Science will soon catch up to proving what we sense and feel every day. We tend to personally relate to many of our clients, as a majority are sensitive and aware of the paranormal in the same way we are. We also have a huge amount of respect for the paranormal. Treating these things that go bump in the night as our once human counterparts provides an additional level of understanding on our level as well as theirs. We acknowledge them, treat them with respect and ask permission before any attempts are made to acquire data or scientific evidence. As a result they usually treat us with an equal level of respect and provide the scientific data and documentation we need to help solve the case. This is a very unique and unprecedented methodology. The results speak for themselves. We are proud to bring our way of living and investigating to the public. We are privileged to have a solid reputation among the paranormal community in the quality of work we do for our clients. We are blessed to work with so many well respected investigators and groups.
