Our Aim Originally the Northern Ireland Paranormal Society, PSI was formed in 2005. Although the group is constantly evolving and changing focus, the main aim is to study & investigate reports of alleged paranormal or anomalous activity. Our research encompasses a broad range of topics including, but not limited to EVP, Spirit activity, PK, ESP, Mediumship, Dowsing, OBEs, UFOlogy, Past Life Regression etc. and also the part which the human mind plays in the perception and often the creation of otherwise unexplained experiences. Taking a balanced and fresh approach in each case where we feel we may be of help or where this will assist in our own research, the group also spend time debunking claims of the paranormal, where after exhausting all possibilities, no supporting evidence can be found, or indeed where evidence to the contrary is uncovered.
After much discussion some time ago, the team took the decision to step back from private home investigations as we felt we could be of limited assistance in resolving these cases. Occasionally with psychological issues contributing, we feel a moral and professional responsibility to ensure these cases are dealt with by the correct people. We now spend much more time on research, experimentation and investigating claims of paranormal ability. If you feel you have any kind of ability we would be delighted to speak to you. Please feel free to contact us.
Equally however, if you are experiencing unsettling events at home and have exhausted all other possibilities, we would invite you to contact the team for advice.
All our new research will be updated on the site so keep watching.
Knowledge & Training
Although there is no academic qualification to becoming a paranormal investigator, members of the group are required to be aware of and understand the popular beliefs and theories held in the vast area of the paranormal. Training also includes many hours spent on investigations, where they must demonstrate the ability to research, survey, investigate, analyse and draw conclusion from their findings, remaining impartial and keeping an open and unbiased mind at all times. Only after they have proven to be proficient in the use of all equipment and capable of carrying out such investigations will individuals be given the role of PSI Investigator.
Northern Ireland's Greatest Haunts PSI were selected last year to take part in this six part TV series for BBC Northern Ireland, which is presented by well known paranormal investigator Andy Matthews and featured guest clairvoyant medium Marion Goodfellow. NI Greatest Haunts is not another Most Haunted. This series delivers new scientific research and experimentation never before seen on TV to gather evidence for and against the existence of the spirit world. The series is honest, true to life and very fly-on-the-wall in its approach.
The buildings being investigated were: Armagh Gaol; Direct Wine Shipments, Belfast; Woburn House, Millisle; Bellaghy Bawn; Limavady Workhouse/Roe Valley Hospital and Galgorm Castle. The six-part series made for BBC Northern Ireland by Coco Television is an entertaining and unusual mix, where real history meets compelling personal stories, investigation and offers unusual insights into the world of the paranormal.
IPA In May 2007 NIPS founded the Irish Paranormal Alliance (IPA), a body with the primary aim of enabling groups with a genuine interest in the paranormal to share knowledge and research, and also to help provide some discipline & guidance in the field of paranormal study in Ireland. The Alliance will hold a twice yearly conference in the North and South of Ireland. More info here
