Archive status: No completed case reports have been published on this site yet. Once we investigate, a case file will identify observations, witness testimony, supporting sources, uncertainties, and later corrections.
Bureau standards
A strange noise
is not a verdict.
Our baseline: time-stamp recordings, record conditions and equipment, interview respectfully, compare explanations, and report uncertainty without dressing it up as certainty.
EMF and proximity devices measure electrical or environmental effects. An alert on its own does not establish a paranormal cause.
