    Ghost hunting classes-Starting July 2008. We are holding courses-every Wednesday and Thursdays-An evening of informal fun, knowledge, ghost hunting and learning the basics. Please email for details.


    Members of Vancouver Paranormal are for the most part, people with a huge desire to know more about what is going on out "there". They are driven to try and get to the root of these strange matters. We come from all walks of life and certainly from a variety of experiences. Some of us are avid believers in a possible afterlife, others not so sure and question it all. We are young and older, male and female...Straight, gay and most of the colours in the rainbow. As diverse as our roots might be, we are united in our hope that perhaps we might be able to understand a little more than we do now, Together we hope to bring you our best, to share with you a little of the experiences that we have had.


  • Please do not open attachments that claim to have come from Vancouver Paranormal, unless you are expecting an attachment from us. If you receive such an attachment, delete it immediately. Update your anti-virus software daily! We DO NOT send unsolicited attachments!

  • Vancouver Paranormal does not condone trespass or being in any area without permission. We also promote good citizenship while in these areas. There are several locations on this website when we stress observing laws posted and presenting yourself with decorum when searching for the answers to the paranormal questions. Please be responsible and respectful.

  • Vancouver Paranormal does not claim that the following images are of paranormal and supernatural origin. However; it is our firm belief that we are presenting images that might be of paranormal and supernatural origin.

  • We do not "Ghost bust". We have no interest in removing spirits. We have no ability to remove spirits. We cannot "banish" or rid spirits from your establishment or home, nor do we perform "exorcisms." We choose to be "Passive Investigators"-We want to do nothing that may further escalate the problem. Our purpose is to document and record what we can. We can put you in touch with the appropriate resources and assist you towards that end. People needing our investigative abilities should
    Contact us for Investigation

  • Vancouver Paranormal does not charge for our investigations but we will appreciate donations to cover our gasoline costs especially if you are located out of the city (Chilliwack, Coquitlam, Surrey, Mission etc), telephone calls and other reasonable personal out of pockets expenses.

  • In the meantime please read Shadowlands "I have a ghost!!! Now what?-we do have the link posted in our menu.

    Be wary if the "ghost hunter" claims to:

  • Be an "expert"
  • Guarantees ghost/spirit "removal"
  • Charges a fee

    It's your home, if the "ghost hunting" team makes you uncomfortable in any way during the pre-investigation assessment or investigation, you may ask them to leave.

    There is no absolute way to "clear" a spirit or stop a haunting.

    The need for paranormal research is not only legitimate but absolute. It was thought that the coelacanth had been exstinct for 65 million years. Modern scientists had written them off as a done deal...until: one was pulled out of the south African waters in 1938. We didn't know about bacteria and germs until they became visible after the microscope was invented...The bacteria and germs although not seen are very real and exist. When we look at science in general: it really does all fall into the category of paranormal research. Scientists are exploring matters not completely understood by us. Forget about words like supernatural and magical-These are Hollywood terms that really do not address the subject of spirits and the possibility of a continuance of existence. We are mucking about in the dark trying to find answers to the unknown and in this, we are scientists.

    PS: We won't be coming to your house with it (Unless you want us to :) ). Our investigations are very low key


    Ghostly odds n Ends
  • The National Association of Realtors assists its members with "stigmatized property." In some states, in fact, if a property is alleged to be haunted, the seller must disclose this fact. In 1991 in New York, purchasers were allowed out of the deal when they learned that the property was reputed to have ghosts.

    Number one question we are asked: Do Ghosts, spirits exist?

    Our best answer: We really don't know. We think something is going on out there and we are trying to see if they do or not by doing what we can to explore the phenomena.

    Number two question: Do strange and inexplicable things happen to normal everyday people?

    Our best answer: You bet it does.


    Don't wear light clothing on a ghosthunt!!! You will look spooky and then newspapers will claim you are a ghost...lol. Seriously do not wear light clothing. Wear distinctive dark clothing and stay together. White reflects camera flash and can look blurry or distorted if one is moving when the camera shutter closes-lowered room lighting or illumination by candlelight (a no no) or flashlight only heightens this misrepresentation. A recent picture circulating claims to be a ghost. We recognise the style of clothing worn as a peasant blouse and blue jeans and we know that a member of their group wears this style of clothing. We are fairly certain that the person wearing this outfit was at the ghosthunt and the "ghost" is really her. While this group may not be trying to fool people...they need to understand that white or light coloured clothes can look spooky in lowered light or if the subject in the picture was moving. This kind of camera flaw is common to sony and canon and some Nikon digital cameras. The beauty of the reflective vest aside from being a safety consideration is that in most cases it is recognizable when we are examining our pictures -(orange and twinkly??? a vest not a ghost!) it's easy to pick out and discard. Our task is to provide whatever support we can to show potential paranormal activity as honestly as it is possible to do so and not to settle for an effect because it looks "ghostly".

    If you have to be on a street for whatever reason then please use your commonsense and wear sensible reflective stripes and be alert for traffic. Use commonsense in that regard and stay off the road if it is active.

    Ranan in reflective vest-worn over jacket. These are inexpensive to get and quite clearly seen. If you are in a cemetery (and the grounds people are active-stay in areas they have stipulated for you to be in.) Stay off dark roads and trails, if traffic is present. At all times notify grounds staff that you are in the yard and be visible.
