Are Ghosts Real?

Do They Talk to Us?

This Thursday, July 12th, between 3 and 5pm, teens (and adults, too!) can come find out more about the supernatural and the science of modern ghost hunting with our local paranormal investigation group, Eastern Washington Paranormal.

About EWP:

We are a group of people who volunteer our time and resources, to help people find answers to the paranormal activity experienced in their homes, businesses, and other property.  We do not claim to be able to remove or communicate with any phenomena you may be experiencing, rather our goal is to look for logical explanations first, and document any phenomena that may be occurring at the location second.

We are a scientific minded group, and we hold professionalism and respect in the highest regard.  Our job is to present any evidence as we find it to the client, including any possible natural or man-made explanations for the activity they have experienced.
