About BHPI

   What is BHPI?
    Black Hills Paranormal Investigations (BHPI) is a group of dedicated people, investigating claims of paranormal activity in the Black Hills and     surrounding area.

   What is involved in paranormal investigations?
    Many groups have different practices, but ours are basic, and proven to be legitimate. We use tools to try and debunk claims of paranormal     activity. Many of us are believers, but, we have realized that about 80% of all claims of paranormal can be explained by natural, everyday         occurrences. We go into a case with open minds, with the intent of helping people to understand what they are dealing with and how they         can best deal with it.

   Will BHPI remove whatever "entity" I may have?
    No. BHPI is simply here to try and document paranormal activity. If someone would like an "entity" removed, we can give tips on how to try     to "take back your house (or building)" or we can put in contact with someone who could help you rid your residence (or building) of any     unwanted presence.

   Does BHPI charge for investigations?
    No. BHPI is a completely free service to the community. We do not charge for any facet of our services. The people at BHPI cover their own     expenses because they are so passionate about the service provided. We do accept donations, however, we do not ask for them.

   What can BHPI do for my desire of privacy from the public?
    We will do anything and everything you request. BHPI understands that there are some cases where people do not want to draw any                 attention to themselves, especially with a sensitive subject like the paranormal. BHPI offers varying levels of privacy when it comes to             investigations. Should you decide you want only BHPI and yourself to know about anything that happens, that will be accommodated. If you     would be alright with us releasing evidence as long as we keep the address, names, city name, faces, etc. out, we will guarantee that. BHPI will     work with its clients on any detail they may want as far as the investigation goes. Don't be afraid to ask for special requests when it comes to     privacy.

   What will BHPI do in my home (or building)?
    When BHPI comes into a case, several things happen. There is thorough research done on the property by BHPI to try and find anything         important that may have happened there in the past. We obtain two copies of this research, one for BHPI's records, and one for the property     owner. We look in this research for any tragedy or wrongdoing that may have happened, which may be a cause of paranormal activity. We         also interview the property owner, and any and all witnesses to the paranormal activity. Once we have assessed our notes from the interviews,     we determine when we can get there for an investigation. Upon arrival, half of the team will go on a short tour of the property with the         owner, making sure to note any place where activity was claimed. The other half of the team asks whomever is also on the property some         follow-up questions. Once the tour is over, we discuss as a team where we would like to set up our equipment. Our equipment consists of     digital cameras, digital audio recorders, electro-magnetic field meters (EMF meters), thermometers, and video cameras. Once we have a base     camp set up, and our tools where they need to go, we turn out all the lights possible in the home and begin our investigation. We take turns     in teams of 2-4, depending on the size of the property, investigating places of reported activity. We not only look for paranormal                     happenings, but ways that everyday events can be misconstrued as paranormal occurrences. As we record, we document and note everything     that we cannot immediately explain. Once our investigation is over, we pack up all of our equipment, and leave the property to review our     evidence. We go over every piece of unexplainable evidence with our team, and try to debunk anything we can. When we return to the         property, we check out a few different possibilities of everyday common events that may have caused any of our evidence. After that, we sit     down with the owner, and discuss the evidence. We give a copy to the owner, and keep a copy for BHPI's records.

   So, after an investigation, what does BHPI offer?
    We are only a phone call or email away. You can contact us anytime you think you need us to return. We don't simply investigate and leave     you alone forever. We want to know if you're still experiencing paranormal events, if it's gone away, or escalated. We're not trying to leave         you alone in a situation that is uncomfortable. We will do everything we can to help.

   How can I contact BHPI?
    There are several ways you can contact us at BHPI. The first, and easiest will be email. We can be reached at help@bhparanormal.com.         We also have a Facebook page that we are all active on. Once we have been contacted by a client, our Case Manager will follow up and         make the initial contact for BHPI..

    If you have any questions that weren't covered here, please contact us through email or Facebook and we'll be happy to help.
