Reader Submissions: Ghost Research Survey

By , About.com Guide

"Here are five questions a very good friend asked me as part of her research for a survey of paranormal teams," writes Anthony Milhorn, founder of the Southern States Paranormal Research Society (SSPRS) (a TAPS family member) in East Tennessee. "I think every team should think long and hard and answer these five questions. Perhaps a good idea is to post the five questions on the paranormal.about.com website and see what views other investigators have. It's always awesome to get many viewpoints and ideas."

Please pass on the link to this survey to other paranormal research groups to answer the survey.
