Question of the Month Q: You covered “worm
holes” previously, but what about time warps where several people witness the
same thing all at once, like a mass hallucination?Answer
This
photo is from May of 2008 when 10 members of the IPRF along with Scott Crownover and Patty A. Wilson “invaded” the Doubleday Inn on Oak Ridge in
Gettysburg, PA.

August
2010 Founder's Message
*** Members, please remember that the August meeting has been rescheduled to the
9th because of events at the Vicary Mansion. ***
It doesn't appear that there is much hope in sight for relief from the heat this
summer, but, the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration –
www.noaa.gov) has stated that
the solar cycles are beginning a trend of increased activity over the next
several years so that is good news if you are a paranormal investigator since
the increased solar activity seems to equal an increase in paranormal evidence
that is captured when investigations are performed.
As many of you know the IPRF instituted an unusual mid-year change in our SOP
(Standard Operating Procedure) and recently had several members fill vacant
positions on the General Council. These recent changes complete the IPRF
organization from an administrative standpoint; however, I am requesting that
all current IPRF members make the most diligent effort to attend the next IPRF
meeting on August 9, 2010 as it will be you who determine the future direction
of the IPRF. If you plan on attending this meeting please have any and all
questions, comments (likes AND dislikes), suggestions and topics for discussion
regarding the current and future position of the IPRF prepared as this meeting
will determine our course in the 2011 calendar year – and possibly beyond. If
you can not attend the meeting you can still make your opinion count by
e-mailing me at iprfinc@aol.com and, with your permission, we will integrate
your the e-mails into the meeting discussion. Should you wish to have your ideas
remain private we will respect that as well, but, please – no matter what – make
your opinion count. All topics and subjects that you wish to discuss will be
considered.
Additionally, to benefit current, returning and new members it has been
determined that the IPRF, being a self-supporting independent organization, will
reduce membership dues from the current $48.00 per person per year to $36.00 per
person per year – with a potential to go as low as $24.00 per person per year
pending General Council approval. This reduction in membership dues does not in
any way represent a reduction in either service, activities or quality. It has
been determined that through the dispersion of administrative duties and the
reduced cost of web hosting and meeting space rental through the Vicary Mansion
that the organization can effectively operate on reduced member dues which
should boost membership and encourage member participation and interaction at
meetings, events and investigations. Also, later in the month, after the
regularly stated meeting in August the IPRF General Council will meet in order
to enact the ideas and suggestions that members discuss at the meeting for the
2011 calendar year. Notes from this neeting will be sent out to IPRF members.
Our August Question of the Month comes from James in Dallas who asked: You
covered “worm holes” previously, but what about time warps where several people
witness the same thing all at once, like a mass hallucination? I gave
basic answer to this question, not because it doesn't interest me but because
the explanation is not of paranormal origin...if you're curious to see what I
said click on the question of the month to get the answer.
Our Article of the Month is another part of our Investigation Basics series: How
to Perform an Interview. Sure, most of us have been on interviews for
employment, etc. but how many of us have been the one performing the interview?
Since most of us do not perform interviews with others for a living it is
probably not our strong point, however, who do you ask when you want to get
accurate information about how to properly perform an interview? Law
enforcement. Once again our friends in the law enforcement community have lent
their investigative knowledge to us and we have provided the information here to
for you benefit from and perfect your interview technique.
Our Pic of the Month comes from Sharon Guzanich who captured this ectoplasmic
streak while on a recent investigation. Good work Sharon! Also, to all of our
members I would like to thank you for your support of the IPRF and participation
in our events that have taken place this year as well as the ones you have
committed to. I look forward to working even harder to make the rest of this
year and all of 2011 a year to remember! Take care & hope to see you all soon.
May all of your haunts be happy ones.
Brian

Mission Statement
The International Parapsychology Research Foundation is a diverse non-profit
organization of individuals who, through the application of various disciplines
of science and academia, strive to deduce logical and relevant conclusions to
questions in the field of parapsychology that have not been adequately answered
by conventional or traditional scientific means. By working in tandem with
several local colleges on various levels our scientific research programs
produce an unparalleled venture in academic and educational excellence while our
partnership with local law enforcement agencies has created an investigation
training program that has an unequaled standard of integrity and credibility in
the field. It is through these field operations that information of innovative
discoveries is acquired in the field of parapsychology and then disseminated to
the public through various mediums such as the IPRF website, educational
programs, college courses, seminars, books, magazines, newspapers, television
and radio broadcasts.
