Media Fright Fest Presents: A Night with the Phantom Detectives
Phantom Detectives is Southeastern Pennsylvania's newest paranormal research team. The team conducts investigations in private homes and businesses that report paranormal activity across the country. We use the scientific method and various pieces of equipment to separate rational explanations from the paranormal.
Join us for a power point presentation, giving a brief history of the team and what the protocol is when they take on cases. They will discuss how they conduct investigations along with the equipment, the evidence review, and how it is revealed to the client.
We were planning to discuss each of our roles and how we work together as a team during investigations. We were planning to bring a few pieces of equipment and demonstrate how they work. We were also going to allow time for a Q & A session.
Phantom Detectives LLC conducts investigations across various venues, from free private home investigations to more robust guided investigations with the public. The group plans to provide public education sessions free of charge for their supporters, in order to expand the dialogue of the paranormal with a larger audience.
