Hello and welcome to our web site.
New England Anomalies Research (NEAR) was founded for the purpose of investigating and analyzing phenomena which is suspected to be
of paranormal origin; that is, removed from what is currently understood
and accepted as legitimate by prevailing scientific standards.
NEAR's founders (Keith & Sandra) and case manager (Lisa) are former core members of internationally recognized 'TAPS'
(The Atlantic Paranormal Society)-
best known for their work on the SciFi television series Ghost Hunters.
Although it cannot always be explained, paranormal phenomena is reported
by numerous and credible witnesses, too many to dismiss such unusual occurrences
as resulting from delusion. It can be the cause of genuine distress on
the part of those people who experience it.
Our endeavor is to provide assistance to those who bring to our
attention these occurrences which may be caused by
hauntings and spiritual oppression.
However, in our investigations we will first make intent to rule out any
possible mundane causes for such phenomena.
There is never a charge for our investigations though donations for travel
expenses (gas or plane fare) are requested (we are based in Warwick, Rhode Island).
All client information is strictly confidential.
To request an investigation or a
referral to a paranormal research organization in your area, please contact
our CASE MANAGER (Lisa Dowaliby)
.
Thank you for your interest,
