R.I.P.D.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to explore reports of the paranormal to further our understanding of such phenomena, as well as educate people regarding the paranormal, supernatural or unexplained. To that end, R.I.P.D. holds a few key tenets to insure that we remain true to ourselves, our clients, and the general public.
R.I.P.D. approaches every case from a skeptical point of view. This is perhaps the most important principle any paranormal investigator should have. We simply state that we found something that we could not explain through rational explanations.
R.I.P.D. investigators have a lot of experience, but we are not experts. This is why we investigate the paranormal, to look for answers in the hopes that someday, we will have the answers. We always try to replicate results. We always try to test our theories, and never come to a conclusion about those theories until they are thoroughly tested. We never claim any "cause and effect" relationships. We only note correlations.
The R.I.P.D. does not trespass. This is a matter of respect for our clients, as well as ourselves. We do not investigate any location without full permission by the owners. For one, it can be very dangerous to investigate abandoned locations, and there have been too many stories in the news lately about suspected "ghost hunters" being arrested, injured, or even killed while trespassing in dangerous buildings. Secondly, it is disrespectful and in most cases, illegal.
