The Soul Catcher 2

The Ghost Education & Research Center uses a 8 camera Digital Video Recorder on its investigations to collect data on paranormal activity. We use this state-of-the-art piece of equipment to gather real time audio & high definition video to monitor on site or remotely a location that has alleged paranormal activity.

We call this piece of equipment "The Soul Catcher" and it's our second generation of newest equipment. In the early days of photography, people used to believe that cameras would capture someone's soul in the photographs. While technology has changed, the concept hasn't... as it's GERC goal to capture hard evidence of ghostly activity in crystal clear high definition video and imagery. If ghostly activity wasn't real, we wouldn't be spending thousands of dollars on equipment to prove it wasn't. It is real and that's why we're here.

The Soul Catcher can be remotely monitored and controlled via the internet enabling GERC to conduct both on site and off site investigations. This allows us to also have investigators in other states or countries assist us as we investigate a location, all in real time! Should one of the remote investigators see something, they can call us and alert us to what location/camera activity is taking place.

With 8 cameras we can overlap the viewing field and/or have a camera on two sides of a door in the event that an entity opens the door ~ we can show that no one was on either side of the door and that no foul play was involved. It is so easy to fake paranormal activity, it's so much harder to provide solid evidence that skeptics can't argue. We take this into account and go out of our way to make sure every angle and everything we do is professional and air tight.

The Soul Catcher also has 16 relays that can securely lock down a location and show that the room(s) have not been compromised or influenced by outside sources. This means that we can have sensors on both the doors and windows so no one can sneak in and contaminate our evidence. So if something happens, we can show that no one came in our out of the room at the time of the paranormal activity.

Using high definition cameras, there's no "Bigfoot/Lochness Effect" meaning that the photos/videos aren't going to be blurry. If something happens, we're going to show every detail as best as possible. This will allow us to study the scene and the event in more detail over and over long after the investigation has ended. We're in the business of documenting and researching paranormal activity & helping both the living and the dead if possible.

After all...If you're going to do it... Do it with STYLE!

Halloween is around the corner...

That means the temperatures will be getting cooler, the leaves falling and the number of traffic hits on our website goes up! Yes, it is that time once again where we see a huge increase in traffic and emails of people asking for interviews, asking questions, or wanting to know any good ghost stories or haunted locations. To anticipate your questions, I've listed the top 6 questions I normally get along with my answers. Enjoy!

1.) Are ghosts real?
Yes.

2.) How do you know?
Because I've been investigating the things they do over the last 7 years on hundreds of cases. You may argue that ghosts aren't real... but what is real is Paranormal Activity... the things that do go bump in the night. If it's not a ghost, then what? That's what we're here to answer.

3.) Does it cost anything for your group to investigate?
No. We do this free of charge because we're in the business of documenting and gathering evidence of paranormal activity. If you are a home owner or business owner and you believe you have a ghost, email us and tell us your story.

4.) Are cemeteries haunted?
Not as much as local businesses or homes.

5.) Are you willing to do an interview for the local news?
Yes, but you have to email me and we'll talk about scheduling.

6.) Where do you investigate?
We used to investigate the whole state of Oregon & Washington. Due to high gas prices, we're now only investigating the Portland & Vancouver, WA & surrounding areas.
