If you are considering an investigation with Maryland TriState Paranormal, here is what you can expect from us.

MTSP does not charge for investigations. We are a volunteer organization based out of the Maryland area. All work done by MTSP is done on the members own time and is not paid for this work. All costs are paid for out of pocket. Please be patient with us in regards to investigations. They are conducted around work schedules and family schedules. Our investigations are conducted as fast as possible without compromising the thoroughness of the investigation.

Whenever you contact us about an investigation, please have a few things ready for us. We need to know your location, what events are taking place and the frequency of them. Keeping a log is helpful when it comes to determining frequency of events. If an event has only happened once and has not occurred since, it will be extremely hard to get any conclusive data. On the other hand, if the events are on going, we may be able to conduct an investigation and collect a lot of valuable data. We also need to know if anyone has been threatened or harmed by a ghost. This will help in understanding the situation better and determining whether it is something we need to address immediately or not.

If you are in fact in need of an investigations or even just have questions or concerns, there is a fill out form under "Request an Investigation". Someone will then call you to go over the situation and obtain more information. Once we determine whether an investigation is indeed needed, we will set up a time to come to the location and talk with those who have experienced the events. An initial interview will be conducted at that time. We may also look around at the location will be conducted. We will be making notes, maps and getting ideas for further visits if needed. We will then get some preliminary equipment readings. Once we see that there is activity in the location we will do some background research on the location and the surrounding area. We will then set up for another visit for a full investigation with cameras, recorders and other equipment. This visit will be more in depth and more thorough. Additional visits may be necessary.

I hope this will give you an idea of how we operate. We are not fly by night, out for the thrill, ghost hunters. We are serious paranormal investigators. We take our work seriously and with passion. We use our research for scientific purposes. As it says in our mission statement, we investigate the presence of phenomena and ghostly hauntings in order to educate and help our community.
