International Bureau of Paranormal Investigation and Research
Mission Statement
IBPIR, nor its members, charge ANY fees for our investigations, we do it as a service to those in need.
It is the mission of the International Bureau of Paranormal Investigation and Research (IBPIR) to create and implement a level of standards and procedures that will elevate the field of paranormal research through the collection, analysis, preservation and sharing of evidence. Any evidence collected should be able to withstand the scrutiny of evidentiary techniques by any party or organization. This is the "Great Experiment."
Goals and Objectives
In order to realize the mission of the IBPIR, it is our goal to enlist the aid of other paranormal investigation and research specialists worldwide. It will be the objective of the IBPIR to find commonality in this collaborative effort in order to reveal the answer to the mystery of paranormal phenomenon. Ultimately, the research provided by our teams will be used to publish within the paranormal community.
