1) What is the Paranormal Research Society?
The Paranormal Research Society is a student-run club at Penn State University. It consists of undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff and town residents. We are a diverse group of investigators with various religious and cultural beliefs. Our ultimate goal is the scientific and spiritual pursuit into the unknown.
2) What experience led you to the work you do today?
I had an experience when I was young. It stuck with me ever since. I didn't have anyone to talk to about it or anyone to help me cope with these experiences. When I founded PRS, our goal quickly went from just trying to document paranormal experiences to trying to help people cope with and understand their own experiences.
3) What is it like for a family to deal with a haunting?
The biggest concern I have when I walk in to a home is whether or not the clients/family will fall into hysteria. I've seen some cases where people, under fear and hysteria, have done some very bad things to themselves and others.
When people are frightened and they lose that sense of reality, they can do irrational things. So, whenever we run in to cases with hysterical clients, the first thing we do is to get them to calm down and start to think rationally.
In the episode "Devil In Syracuse," you saw a family that was in hysterics. Everything, in their eyes, was the work of the devil. They had so many real-life problems that they needed to focus on first before we entertained the notion of supernatural phenomenon.

By tazman123, March 3, 2008 at 23:05You really need to cool those loins tracy. Ryan he most like is too busy chasing his phantoms and his demon that is so called chasing him. In any event Ryan is you are reading this you need to find a new show. I do paranormal investigations myself and really we only use absolute readings for equipment, not phantom noises, which really sound like you are doing them yourselves not actual sounds at all. we do not jump and scream and shout did you see that then a camera pans over and there is nothing and then we have to only take your word for it. there is no scientific bases for any of your shows, they are really badly scripted too, lets do one quick show right now, you show up on the scene, you get the story, then you give a speech to your crew, you may show some clipings from new papers about the issue. Then we do a walk around where that rediculous psychic coffee gets a bad feeling, and tells everyone how he feels like he was just punched in the stomach. Then we have a dead time or 2 where we hear some silly phantom sounds and you flash around that really cool but wasted thermal camera which never shows anything, please send it to me as we really could put it to good use for real. Then you get everyone back to gether make up some really scary fake issue how you are freaked out and want to put an end to it, then you do a simple prayer and say a couple of OUR FATHERS, and boom bang the ghost or demon is gone like that, everyone smiles and the show ends. Wow that sums it all up and every show it the same, you never show any concrete evidance.
