On behalf of Black Hills Paranormal Investigations, we want to welcome you to our website.
BHPI was founded in 2007 and is proud to serve the Black Hills and its surrounding communities. Since our founding, we have grown into a professional and trusted team of paranormal researchers. In the beginning, we set out believing that to be taken as a serious paranormal investigations team it was imperative we set high standards for ourselves and our practices.
Our guiding principles-critical thinking, common sense, continuing education, and a healthy dose of skepticism – have served our clients and us well. Anyone who becomes a member of BHPI must pass a thorough interview process and then successfully pass a mandatory probationary period. A BHPI investigator must not only know, but must demonstrate their knowledge of proper investigatory procedures.
If you are looking for a paranormal investigations team that strives for the truth, then BHPI is that team. Every aspect of our investigations are free of charge.
We do not charge for our investigations!
BHPI does not enter any investigation trying to prove paranormal activity. We first look for reasonable explanations. Anything that is left will warrant full on paranormal investigating to find the root source of the activity. We also understand that it is difficult to talk to complete strangers about paranormal experiences. Know that BHPI does not judge. We promise you that your case will be handled with understanding, professionalism, and confidentiality. If you are experiencing activity that you believe is paranormal in nature then Black Hills Paranormal Investigations is the investigative team for you. All of our services are free of charge.

My husband (who's a non-beliver ) told me h saw a black shadow run across our back yard a few nights ago. Since our yard fenced in on all sides and this shadow just appeared on one side of the yard and disappeared as it moved the opposite side. I'm pretty sure it was a shadow person
This brings tears to my eyes I to am followed by shadow people in my early times I was afraid of them it took every will to accept them and when I finally accepted there presence and understand why they visit I am very grateful for there presence they are there to help me know something is bound to accure
I experienced the shadow at The House when I worked there. It was only once and it did rattle me.
I read something about a person being followed home by a spirit Ever heard of this?
To the masses. What is YOUR most unbelievable ghost/spirit/entity encounter? Don't be shy, look who is asking!!! 😂 ... See MoreSee Less
It's been a few years but my daughter and I use to work @ the Deadwood Mountain Grand. It happened on the 4th floor. A young couple had just arrived and we greeted them as they got off of the elevator - their room was just steps away. I immediately noticed a beautiful little girl, dressed in modern dress, well behaved w/smiles. As I went to comment to the parents on this well behaved little girl - I noticed she was no longer standing there. And I also noticed that she wasn't in the room w/them, and they were not asking for her. On the 4t floor, unless she has moved on, is the spirit of a child, who's parent used to work at the Slime Plant years ago. She giggles and loves to hum and play with the carts of the housekeepers. On many occasions she would flip our clipboard off of our cart to get our attention. A visiting medium to the hotel 6 months after we left, mentioned her - our former boss who was still there at the time only then shared my account.
I worked at an assisted living. My shift started at 6am. Before your shift starts, you check the rooms - make sure the residents are good and the empty rooms are in good shape (no one has tried to break in). I did this, I had already gone over the overnights reports and looked at the med. notes. Just drinking my coffee, waiting to wake up people. I started hearing rustling in one room. I went up to the door to listen. Sounded like someone was in the closet. Only this room was completely empty. I knocked, said Hello? They quit. I asked, Do you need anything? They went back to doing something in the closet. I just said, okay - I’ll leave you be. That kept up for about 15 minutes. Then nothing. I checked a little later, it was still completely empty. But that building we always had something.
My Papa's funeral. He was self taught on the violin and was rehearsing with the pianist at our church. They were going to do a special concert for everyone. He really wanted all his family to come to church to see him play. About a week before the show he died of a massive heart attack. At the funeral, the pianist played a few of the songs they had planned for their show. I swear, I heard a violin! But I didn't tell anyone. The next week we went to see my gramma and she showed us a letter from the pianist. She said she could hear my grampa playing along with her. My eyes got big! My mom saw the look on my face, and she asked me if I heard it, too! My eyes got even bigger!! We had both heard the violin! And so did the pianist at church! My mom called her sisters and they also had heard it! And my cousins had heard it! My Papa had his whole family in church and he was going to play for us. And he did!! ❤️🥰
I went to an event "Dinner with a ghost" at the Corn Palace in Mitchell. Interesting time. A spirit followed me home. It knocked a painting off the wall, drained the batteries in my clock and my bathroom scale,and made the hall light flicker. Finally got it to leave with using sage and palo and telling it to leave.
One house I lived in I would come home after work & the tv would be on wheel of fortune lol I would make sure to put it on a different channel & turn it off before I left & wheel of fortune would be on when I got home 🤷🏼♀️
I lived at an apartment complex west side of Rapid City, one morning whole brushing my teeth the tub and shower "turned" on
There's always been random stuff happen in our family home on the farm where we grew up. One experience I'll never forget is on a visit a year or so after my mom passed. I'd gotten up during the night to use the bathroom. On my way back down the hallway I felt like I was being watched and that it was right behind me practically breathing on my neck. Felt like the back of my neck could of shot lightning out of it. I hurried into my room and shut the door fast as I could. A second later it sounded like it ran into or hit the door right behind me.
Until around the time I was 18, I often saw a dark figure, something others have described as The Hat Man. Idk what he was but I knew instinctively I couldn't let him get close to me. Thankfully it's been almost 16 years since I saw him last.
I have a ghost , that has followed me since 95. I've actually seen her face, right neck to mine. Absolutely beautiful . She revealed her name to me through a device. I researched her name, she was basically murdered by a doctor performing a abortion in 1900's she was 17-18 when she and her friend died. DM me for more on her, she has attached herself to me. Not sure why. But I've seen some amazing things and even have video of an occurrence at my girlfriend's house.
My only experience is a music box going off. We are in my husband’s grandparent’s house with all their belongings and I was removing items from the wall in the bathroom to help update it a bit and it started chiming. Then another time we received a phone call with good news and after hanging up the phone, it chimed for a few notes.
These were wonderful to read. I have never had an experience. And I’m okay with that. Maybe someday.
Our house in Lead and the house I grew up in
I have experienced numerous things throughout my life in every house I have lived in. From a picture falling off the wall beside me missing the counter and landing glass side up with nothing broke, toilet seat slamming when a man left it up, a shadow being looking at me and taking off, a empty rum jug that was ontop of a fridge flew across the room at me, clapping in my face, hearing cowboy boots from upstairs the floor was creaking as said spirit was walking and a child running down my hallway that is just some stuff I have encountered. Others are feelings and a sense of not being alone.
Used to hang out at Kelly's II. Walking to the bathroom felt a burn on my leg. 3 scratches like a cat did them. Took weeks to heal. Also saw a lot of weird stuff there.
Occidental Hotel!! Hands Down!!!
I have a few stories to share. But here is my favorite one: My significant other & I were visiting Gettysburg PA (the end - just kidding) for a few days over spring break. On our last day, it was snowing, blizzard conditions & we couldn’t see even 50 yards a head of us. A few inches of snow had already fallen. A lot of businesses were closed early as well as some of the park offices. But being from MN at the time, as well as being “young”, we kept on site seeing. So we visited the cemetery, the one where many soldiers were laid to rest, Lincoln presented the Gettysburg address, etc. Even though we were young, we were still extremely respect to the dead & the cemetery. While walking around, looking at gravestones, thinking about the sad ending of these individuals lives’, I started to hear bagpipes playing Amazing Grace in the adjoining park (which was part of the original battlefield). I didn’t think anything of it at the time, smiled & felt comforted by the pipes. But as soon as it started it, it stopped. I looked at my significant other & asked if he had heard the pipes. He stated he did, pointing out that we were the only ones out in the blizzard, as well as the pipes started Amazing Grace in the middle of the song & ended prior to the end of the song. It is an experience that I cherish & feels quite special to have, I am grateful that the spirits of Gettysburg were willing to treat me with a beautiful rendition of Amazing Grace. It is also an experience that my ever-so-skeptical significant other couldn’t explain away. 😃
I rented an old house with a group of people. My closet 'door' was just a curtain across the doorway. My bed was right next to it. I was in bed reading when something caught my eye. I turned and was face to face with the figure of a face behind the curtain. I was to afraid to scream or run, so I just sat there while the face got closer. It was about a foot from my face before I finally booked it out of the room. I found out later that the cemetery nearby wasn't always there. They exhumed bodies Poltergeist style and built houses after. I was too broke to move, so I just slept with lights on until my lease was up.
Being in my basement doing laundry, home alone, and the clear as day sounds of someone walking through the house above me (it’s a very clear noise of footsteps, floorboards creaking etc) - I was the only living thing there. I hope it was a ghost, because the alternative would be a living person who wasn’t supposed to be there 🤷♀️
When I was 16 driving on hwy 85 by what was the Dark Horse Saloon (now the Branding Iron) a woman dressed in a white flowing dress cross the highway in front of us and just disappeared. I will never forget that.
When we were all downstairs and I came up to fix supper and the train around the Christmas tree started going around. Have had many strange things happen here.
Iv had a few throughout my life however the most recent was when I was investigating at Zak Bagans haunted museum in Las Vegas I was in the basement and there was a solid black entity following me when we got back to the hotel my fiancé noticed this bruise on my leg I did not hit my leg on anything nor did my leg hurt
My husband and I stayed at the Alex Johnson on our wedding night. I was in the bathroom and the door opened, I closed it again making sure it was closed. It opened again a few seconds later, I asked my husband if he was doing it and he was on the bed across the room. Closed it tight again, few seconds later it opened again. I said "seriously I'm trying to go to the bathroom, stop opening the door" and closed it again, it stayed closed this time. Next morning, woke up went in the bathroom, shut the door tight, it opened , I said "oh my god we are not going to play this f%^&ing game again" closed the door and it stayed closed. Left the hotel, got home, started feeling really ill, our cat wouldn't leave my side, a flame less candle from our wedding the day before that had burnt out overnight in the car because we left it on, suddenly came on for a few minutes and then went off again. Left the house, felt fine, got back home felt ill again, cat wouldn't leave me alone. This went on for a couple of days, then I was talking to a friend of mine and she told me that she thought I probably brought whatever was opening the bathroom door home with me 😲 so she said I needed to take it back to the hotel. So I did, and as I was approaching the hotel I felt like my energy was draining like it was pissed that I was taking it back. I took it back, took that damn flameless candle with (it turned it on a couple more times over the few days) told the lady at the desk who had told us on check out that she has had encounters what was going on, left the candle, walked out the door, mumbled "you're not welcome to come with me you have to stay here" and went to prairie edge, bought sage and came home and saged the crap outta the house! And yes we stayed on the 8th floor down the hall from the brides room.
