CHIPS thanks every family,that allows us to visit and investigate their homes.

We do realize and understand this can be a very personal and frightening
experience.

One of our main objectives is to instill trust in you and help you cope and
understand why these phenomenon are happening.

We also realize the experience one person is feeling is very "real" to them
and can be very frightening.

Most of the CHIPS team members have had their own paranormal experiences,
so we do understand your fears!

We explain to the family in detail, what to expect when we return and try to
calm their fears and address their concerns to the best of our ability.

The investigation is done in four phases.

One of the leading priorities that we have is location research.

When we get a call that a location is so called "haunted," certain members of
the team do extensive research on the property location..

When information is available to us, we concentrate on past owners, deaths
that occurred on the property, what the land was used for before its current
use and so on.

All interviews are audio taped for future reference.

We will set up a date and time to interview the residents. We will familiarize
you with the equipment twe use in investigations and why it is used. We will
then answer any questions or concerns you may have.

At this time, an in-depth questionere is filled out with all family members
present. Afloor plan is drawn, roomsare labeled, and photos are taken outside
and inside of the home.

We then set up a date to return for the actual investigation.

At that time, we will introduce our team members and proceed with our
investigation.

Upon completion, we will set up a return date to reveal our findings.

We review our findings with you and the family present. We try to explain
the evidence in a way that you can understand.

Sometimes you might hear what you don't want to hear, it is our job to be
honest and open.

We are always available if there are future problems in the home.

We review our findings carefully with an open mind. We do hope that you
realize just because we didn't find spirit activity at this time, doesn't mean it
isn't there!

"As a paranormal investigative team, we have a responsibility to you and
ourselves."

We still have a lot to learn. When doing research there is always something
to learn.

We will not present any evidence that has not been thoroughly scrutinized by
our team.

We try to debunk all evidence, and that which cannot be debunked, might just
prove to be paranormal.
