CA - Pacific Paranormal Investigations

[PPI_Brian]

The Southern California based Pacific Paranormal Investigations (PPI) began in late 2005 as a not-for-profit organization of investigators and researchers seeking to help those concerned or curious about their experiences with activity thought to be paranormal. For more information about our mission and our investigation protocols, read "About PPI " or visit "PPI Methods and Protocols " under the Client Resources section of the site.

great paranormal group Brian!

[PPI_Brian]

Thank you. ;D

We are a small team, but we are very diverse and we work very hard to help our clients.

In our brief existence we have had more than our share of tragedies and difficulties.

We obtained TAPS Family status in January 2007, and later that same year, PPI expanded in order to cover a broader service area: by January 2008, Pacific Paranormal Los Angeles (PPI LA) was maintaining its own caseload. While further plans were under consideration to begin Pacific Paranormal San Francisco (PPI SF), the PPI LA team seceded in April 2008 to become TAPS West and PPI scaled back its operations to cover its original non-commercial service area once again. We spawned another group - South Coast Paranormal - through another troubling and very painful separation. Co-Founder Glenn Pitcher, took the helm of PPI in August of 2008. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, we rebuilt our Tech Department, renewed our focus and doubled our efforts to serve the community as the premier paranormal group in southern California.

PPI suffered another tragic loss when Glenn Pitcher was hospitalized and suddenly passed away on March 2, 2009. Before he passed away, Glenn asked Karl Sherlock and I to keep the group going, and we have done our best to do so. We hope that wherever Glenn may be, he is proud of the way the group has continued to grow.

Hi Brian,

Welcome to the forum and the affiliate network.

I am sure Glenn would be proud of the way Karl and yourself have carried on PPI and continue to contribute to the field.

Hi Darren,

I can't believe it's been one year since Glenn passed. Karl put together a tribute to Glenn on the PPI website. Thought I would include a link here if anyone would like to visit.

Hope all is well

Great idea Brian and a fitting tribute, he was and always will be a great part of PPI.

TY for sharing Glenn's tribute. I miss chatting with him and swapping cases. He was such an amazing person.

Hi Ann,

You're welcome. I really miss talking to him too. I still run across e-mails from him from time to time, and it's surprising how these little things bring back such vivid memories. I put together a video for the memorial service we held to mark the first anniversary of his passing, but I have not made it available publicly. Perhaps I can link it to our site.

Hope all is well with you up north.

Regards,

Brian
