Who are Spectre Analysis?

Hi and thank you for viewing our blog. Spectre Analysis are a private, non-profit making, Paranormal Research group based in Crewe and Nantwich are, Cheshire. It's founders were previously part of a similar group for over two and half years and have a large portfolio of investigations to date. Our team are mature, and professional individuals who take our 'hobby' (as some would call it) seriously and responsibly.

WHAT DO WE DO?

"The most important tools in this or any investigation are a questioning mind and a solid understanding of scientific principles."

Benjamin Radford

Our main focus is to approach the field of the paranormal from a scientific and evidence based approach, studying and collecting accurate evidence that will help us form theories that may explain paranormal sites. Were not all quantum physicists but we try to understand as much to our ability the scientific aspects of our work.

A large majority of investigations are done on the assumption that sites are 'home to' ghosts and spirits. For instance some popular assumption are:

> Mediums CAN contact the dead?.
> Calling out... can ghosts hear and react to verbal request?
> Orbs are ghosts?
> Former residents are responisble for hauntings?
> Graveyards and cemetaries are full of ghosts?
> You can see ghosts better in the dark?

These could be true but there is not suffient evidence to support them. This could also lead to the possibility of suggestion.

WHAT WE DONT DO?
We are not "Ghost Hunters" and we do not 'banish' or 'exorcise' alleged 'ghosts' or 'spirits'.

OUR OBJECTIVES?
1. To collect verifiable evidence to support the theory that the human soul survives after death.

2. Help clients (and ourselves) to form a clearer understanding of what may be causing unexplained phenomena.

3. Continualy strive to keep an open mind and a skeptical approach to our work.

WHERE DO WE INVESTIGATE?
As you can see, a lot of our investigations have taken place in Pubs. These places have been a communial meeting places for hundreds of years, and hold a vast amount of history and memories attached to them. But generaly we will investigate most any loction in an around the Cheshire area and also further.

Maybe you think that your home or business is haunted and you would consider a private investigation taylored to your personal requirements? I can assure you that all information will be kept private and that our team conducts itself in a highly professional manner. Please do not hessitate to contact us for an informal chat.

How we conduct our investigations

All our investigation are conducted in a professional manner, paying close attention to detail, with you the client, in mind.

If at all possible we prefer to take some time during day light hours to familiarise ourselves with the location to establish areas suitable for equipment. We also take this opportunity to consult with you and try to identify areas with paranormal activity. Owners are encouraged to participate as much, or as little as they wish in the investigation.

NOTE : Please respect that we are giving our free time to perform your investigation. In the past we have encountered situations where we have experienced bad behaviour, insults and tampering with equipment from guests invited to attend by the client. This was the result from the guests (and client) having consumed large amounts of alcohol. Because of this we DO NOT permit the consumption of alcohol before or during an investigation. Alcohol also
impairs personal judgement and greatly increases the chance of personal injury.

If this happens your investigations will immediately be terminated.

We DO NOT perform Ouija boards.

On the Evening of the Investigation:

  1. First of all ‘FIRE EXITS’ and any health and safety and legal issues are discussed.

  2. Temperature/humidity and electro magnetic field readings this provides the base line to enable any changes and fluctuations to be monitored throughout the night.

  3. Equipment will be placed in the areas outlined in the interview.

  4. Once all the readings have been taken, the group will then divide into smaller groups to conduct separate vigils in the most active places.

  5. Once in situ we attempt to make contact with any ‘presences (we like to refer to them as people)’ by verbal request, this will include identifying the ‘person(s)’ by name (if known) and asking them to come forward and make contact with us. Sound recording equipment is used in the hope that we may capture audibles on digital recorders.

  6. Small breaks are taken throughout the night for refreshments and to discuss how the evening is progressing. Its at this point we agree to a ‘wrap’ time to finish the investigation. At the end of all our investigations all equipment will be cleared and the location checked.

  7. What happens next? All video, audio recording and digital photography will be analysed and any unusual findings will be correlated for you in a full report for you to view at a convenient time.
