Mission and objective:

1. Reaching out to those in need of answers, peace of mind and/or understanding towards unexplainable, and sometimes, uncomfortable occurrences in their residence that appears to them to be supernatural or paranormal in basis.

2. Gathering "Second hand" knowledge and experiences from those in the residence whom have had presumable contact with paranormal activity, be it visual, audio or other means.  This will enable team members to better plan out any "on sight" setup of research equipment by lending validity to active locations, type of occurrences and even times of events.

3. "Sweeping the site" for any non-paranormal......or "normal" explanations as to the reason for the experiences residents have noted to the team.  This is in no way meant to discredit a clients belief that their residence is experiencing paranormal activity, but rather to provide knowledge of any safety issues that may be present in the home (i.e. toxic fumes, chemicals, high electrical output.....even uninvited guests in the home such as raccoons in the attic).

4.  Gathering "First Hand" experience.  This is the actual data gathering part of the mission where the location team will gather as much physical evidence as possible in the time allotted on location.  Most of the equipment will rely on audio and video recording as well as a few other items for assisting in pinpointing active locations or "hotspots"

5. Examining the data for any/all evidence of paranormal activity.  Valid recorded data will be saved for records and training purposes.

6. Providing the client with any evidence the team captures during investigation.  Moreover, the importance of educating that client in what they may be experiencing and how to cope with and, in most cases, live with these occurrences.  If necessary, the team will also refer any additional consultation with any field professionals the client may wish to seek at the clients request.

The Port Orange Paranormal Society is made up of some great people who want to help people, both here now and those who have past.  To provide a better understanding of the field and to bridge the gap between what is believed to be true and what simply is true about paranormal activity and, should it occur along the way, make new friends on both sides.
