Photo of the Month
Submitted by Mr. Nick Mitrakosan taken at the old Torrance State Hospital
Question of the Month Q:
Isn’t it possible for an EVP to be just radio
waves that were picked up by the voice recorder?
Answer
This
photo is from May of 2008 when 10 members of the IPRF along with Scott Crownover and Patty A. Wilson “invaded” the Doubleday Inn on Oak Ridge in
Gettysburg, PA.

Well boys and girls, it's hard to believe we a re already
coming up on July! This month I'll keep the chatter to a minimum so you can
concentrate on the information contained in the update. I have two articles for
you this month: the first is titled “Dead But Dreaming” and explores recent
research in the medical science field to understand consciousness and what it
is. The second article is our investigation basics for the month – interviews.
This article details how to properly conduct an interview: what to do before
during and after, not to mention all of the steps along the way. Also, our
question of the month asks: Isn’t it possible for an EVP to be just radio waves
that were picked up by the voice recorder?
On the investigation end of things I recently returned from St. Kitts (also
known as St. Christopher) in the West Indies. I have included a few photos from
the fortress, which, by the way, is a massive property.
The national park and world heritage site is in pretty good shape, but some of
the smaller buildings are in ruins. Unfortunately, because of the paperwork
involved, an overnight stay at the fort was not to be so we had to suffice with
what we were able to accomplish during the day. For more information and a
better overview of the fort check out
http://www.brimstonehillfortress.org/.
I am hoping to have a small file of evidence we have collected at the Mount
Carmel Cemetery ready for you soon...i am still in the process of assimilating
all of the evidence, history and other information so I may present it in the
most concise manner possible. Also, on the down side of things we had to put off
the Old Stone House investigation until a later date as the curator of the
museum had unexpected business to tend to. We will set up a date in the near
future and hopefully, based on the stories I have heard – the same ones that
have been told for the last hundred years about the Old Stone House – hopefully,
next time you check back I will have some evidence for you from there as well.
However, on the upside, Mr. Nick Mitrakos submitted some evidence – our photos
of the month – that he captured while on an investigation at the old Torrance
State Hospital. Thanks, Nick! Keep up the good work.
Also, if you are looking for more good stuff, check out Patty Wilson and Scott
Crownover's website at
www.ghostsrus.com, Rosemary Ellen Guiley's site at
www.visionaryliving.com, Chris and Mel Durish's website
www.steeltownparanormal.com – and, if you are interested in bigfoot and / or
UFO's I suggest www.mufon.com,
www.pabigfootsociety.com and Brian and Terrie Seech's C.U.E. (Center for
Unexplained Events) at
www.centerforunexplainedevents.com. These individuals and organizations are
are some of the best in their respective fields and I recommend that you take a
look if you are interested. On that topic, if only briefly, you may recognize
Chris and Mel's name formerly of the IPRF roster. About a year ago Chris and Mel
set up their own organization and now some people are asking me if I am upset
about it. Honestly, not in the least. Chris and Mel are highly trained
incredibly knowledgeable people and, in my view, they are still good friends.
When a member of the IPRF sets out to do their own thing I do not get upset –
that is what the IPRF was meant to do: help educate individuals about the
paranormal and let them find their path. Yes, all of the above websites belong
to friends – friends who are knowledgeable and may be able to help further your
interests, guide you along your path and give you some good information along
the way.
Finally,
before I check out for the month I would like to say that I had the honor of
meeting Miss Elizzabeth D. Prado recently at an event in Pittsburgh. Miss Prado
is a model, actress (Entourage, CSI) and a fashion designer. You can check out
some of her wares at
www.zzprado.com. Take care & have a happy & safe 4th of July.

Mission Statement
The International Parapsychology Research Foundation is a diverse non-profit
organization of individuals who, through the application of various disciplines
of science and academia, strive to deduce logical and relevant conclusions to
questions in the field of parapsychology that have not been adequately answered
by conventional or traditional scientific means. By working in tandem with
several local colleges on various levels our scientific research programs
produce an unparalleled venture in academic and educational excellence while our
partnership with local law enforcement agencies has created an investigation
training program that has an unequaled standard of integrity and credibility in
the field. It is through these field operations that information of innovative
discoveries is acquired in the field of parapsychology and then disseminated to
the public through various mediums such as the IPRF website, educational
programs, college courses, seminars, books, magazines, newspapers, television
and radio broadcasts.
