California Haunts Paranormal Investigations welcomes any individual (21 or older) who has an interest in
helping people who need our assistance in their homes and businesses. Potential members will
participate in researching and documenting haunted locations and do so with an open mind. Our main
mission is to help people in need of assistance with a haunting.  This includes educating the public
about ghosts and our research. We do not discriminate against anyone's personal theories and beliefs.
We are all striving toward the same goal of learning about ghosts in an open-minded environment.

We welcome new members who can attend meetings, research projects and investigations in Northern
and Central California, the Bay Area and southwestern (?) Nevada. Anyone who is willing to travel to
locations in these areas for investigations on a regular basis is welcome to apply for membership. We
are looking for people who want to help those who need our assistance. We provide all the training
necessary to get you started in the field for free.

As a member of the California Haunts Paranormal Investigations team, you will be trained to collect
information such as audio and video documentation, photographic evidence, and eyewitness accounts.
California Haunts will arrange all interviews and access to the locations. Members then turn in evidence
and reports to the group so that a case file can be created.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wishes to help people and to learn more about this
field of research.
