Maryland Paranormal Research ® creates pathfinding experiments

Maryland Paranormal Research ® conducts explorations of paranormal phenomena through science, technology and parapsychology. This campaign will support rigorous and creative lines of psi and survival research with emphasis on ghosts, poltergeists and hauntings.

In the field, research programs are mainly focused on electronic voice phenomena obtained from signal conditioning and natural language processing technologies. This is complemented by continuous measurement of environmental conditions from data acquisition sensors and of psi-functioning via a random event generator.

Off the field, our work involves applications of machine learning to case collections and surveys. This work mainly employs topic discovery models to explore semantic contexts or relationships that characterize varieties of paranormal experiences.

Maryland Paranormal Research ® is a registered trademark and was founded October 1, 2011. We have been featured in local and national media including: University of Maryland; Baltimore Fishbowl; The Diamondback; and on the television series A Haunting (Discovery Networks). For training and research, we undertake field expeditions at historic locations throughout the year.

Since 2012, we have conducted ghost expeditions at: University of Maryland (College Park MD); Historic Savage Mill; Brunswick Museum; Cockey’s Tavern (Westminster MD); Sykesville Town House; Benson-Hammond House (Linthicum Heights MD); Mount Ida Home (Ellicott City MD); Abel Colley Tavern (Smock PA); Nemacolin Castle (Brownsville PA); Tudor Hall and Old County Jail (Leonardtown MD); B&O Rail Museum (Oakland MD); and Poplar Hill Mansion (Salisbury MD).

Our research, discovery and exploration efforts to demonstrate psi effects consider the core components of trans-communication to include consciousness, capacities and communications.

Modern-day technologies will help normalize trans-communication processes. We developed the Maryland TransCommunication Experiment, combining signal conditioning, natural language processing and a probabilistic framework for evidence of communication.

With donor support, our research aims to make significant contributions to survival research and to revitalize academic interest in electronic voice phenomena. We maintain our archives and knowledge base on the tumblr platform at blog.maryland-paranormal.com.
