Because paranormal activity is not supported by conventional scientists nor by specialized equipment manufacturers, it cannot be recreated in a controlled setting. Therefore the field of paranormal investigation is populated by theory, speculation, and opinion. Due to these limitations, what is shared in this web site http://www.mid-atlantic-paranormal-investigations.org is what MAPI as an organization feels is closest to the truth. MAPI is not claiming these beliefs to be fact, but rather, educated theories and observations based on years of experience and research.
