“Is there something strange in your neighborhood?” asks the Olympia Paranormal Research Group (OPRG), an organization that investigates anomalous phenomena.
Members of the group will be at the Olympia Timberland Library on Wednesday, August 21 from 7:30 to 9 p.m. to give an overview of the material it covers in its Ghost Hunting 101 class. Not unsuitably, the program takes place after hours when the library is closed for other services.
Topics presented by Chaney Curry, Isaac Cowles, Amber Cowles, and Dan Hall will include believers and skeptics in ghost hunting; tools used in conducting paranormal investigations including technology and individuals known as “intuitives” or “sensitives”; theories about ghosts and haunting; and some cases investigated by the group. A question and answer period will follow the presentation.
According to the group’s website. OPRS members conduct free investigations to help people who are experiencing paranormal phenomena—hauntings, UFO encounters, Sasquatch sightings—by listening, assisting and explaining where possible. Their stated aim is to first seek logical explanations for unusual events.
Hall, one of the presenters is a co-founder of OPRS. He recently released a book, “Don’t Go In There! Confessions of a Sociologist Turned Paranormal Investigator.”
