MISSION
Our mission is to assist clients in finding answers to the unexplained phenomena they are experiencing, exploring these reports from logical, historical, and paranormal angles, and accommodating our clients best as we are able including the provision of on-going supports and referral.

NOTE: Regardless of our personal beliefs--which vary widely between team members--we first attempt to debunk phenomena. If we can't debunk it, the phenomena just may be paranormal in origin--unexplainable by science.

We believe that there are way too many investigative groups that readily apply this label--paranormal--and then take it a step further; determining that common environmental stimuli or camera artifacts are caused by ghosts or spirits.

Our group members include those ranging from skeptics to those who believe in spirits and the afterlife, as well as others that just aren't sure. Still, you aren't going to catch us calling orbs "spirits attempting to manifest," or a camera strap a "vortex to another world."

Belief in the paranormal is not a choice, but a fact. There is phenomena that is unexplainable by science. Scientists readily acknowledge this. We know less then we know. But, another fact is that there is no hard evidence for the existence
of ghosts, spirits, or an afterlife. Belief in ghosts is a question of faith.

We try not to take ourselves too seriously, but have to call a spade a spade, and find those groups that ascribe every door slam, cold spot, or photographic anomaly to ghostly causes to be ignorant and doing the field of paranormal investigation a disservice. These types of folks give ghost hunters a bad name, and unfortunately, are usually resistant in engaging in the type of dialogue necessary to advance developments in the field.

In the News

Sights Unseen Paranormal is a paranormal research team conducts investigations free of charge in New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts, as well as throughout New England.

Founded in 2008 by a former member of another paranormal team, it's investigators have conducted multiple investigations that include the Rindge Town Historical Society Museum, the Saxtons River Inn, multiple private residences, and other locations throughout New England.


Using video cameras, digital and film cameras, audio recorders, electromagnetic field detectors, dowsing rods, and other equipment--as well as conducting a case history--the group will set up in a location for several hours at a time. After reviewing the evidence, they present any relevant data to their clients. 

"Whenever we do an investigation, we try to rule out all other options," says Bobby, who along with Sue, founded Sights Unseen Paranormal."When the wind blows people feel cold drafts and doors can open and close. Houses settling can sound like footsteps. Dust, pollen, and bugs often show up as balls of light called orbs, and electrical fields can make one feel as if they're being watched. There are usually logical explanations for phenomena that people may think is a ghost." 


With this critical approach, Sights Unseen notes that they have found some things that they haven't been able to explain. 


"As a group, we've been extremely fortunate so far," says Bobby. "It's cheaper then skydiving, and sometimes just as exhilarating," he adds. 


Sights Unseen's mission is to first; help their clients find an explanation for what they may be experiencing, and second; capture possible evidence of paranormal activity. They realize that the needs of the living come first, and in certain cases, the paranormal investigation becomes secondary to providing clients with the tools necessary to deal with the phenomena.


"You have to understand psychology to be able to provide adequate support to the individuals involved. We just don't come in, set up our cameras, then leave like some groups do. We pride ourselves on providing appropriate referrals and follow-up if necessary. We use a very people-centered approach, and have a sense of humor," says Sue, cofounder of the group.


With this approach, Sights Unseen has been quite successful. 


"It's a combination of both skill and luck," notes Shawn, the teams resident energy expert. "You have to put yourself in the right place, at the right time, and still...most of the time...you probably won't catch anything. But when you do...well,that's what keeps us coming back."
