The Worldwide Paranormal Reporting Center (WWPRC; www.wwprc.com) is an online database dedicated to archiving paranormal-related information from around the world. Users have the ability to enter information about any activity that they have witnessed. Users can also view all the entries by date, state, city, and/or type of activity. Sounds like a huge undertaking, huh? Well, it is!
You may ask, "Why would anyone want to do this"? Well, we want to collect all the data we can on paranormal activity so that we can try and formulate statistics and theories to help explain any and all types of paranormal activity. We would also like the database to be used by other paranormal researchers.
Just think if everyone who ever experienced a paranormal event were to log it in our database; we would be able to generate statistics on (just to list a few):
- Frequency and duration of different types of activity
- What times of year do different types of activity happen
- Where do different types of activity occur
- Who witnesses different types of activity
These are just a sample of the kinds of answers we could begin to answer if everyone logged their experiences. Of course, we do not expect everyone in the world to know of us, and also have access to the internet. But, the more entries, the larger the sample size, and thus the more accurate the statistics will become.
As of October, 2007, WWPRC has added more functionality to our site. Now, users and groups have the ability to create their own profiles and upload/submit:
- Experiences/activity - Locations of known paranormal activity - Investigative or research-oriented group information - Data files of supposed paranormal activity
Users can now search for investigative groups in their area if they would like to contact them. Registered groups can also search for locations near them that have experienced paranormal activity, and can contact the owner if the owner has provided those details and wishes to be contacted.
So, if you have ever experienced a paranormal event (or if you experience one in the future) we urge you to go to www.wwprc.com, and help out the paranormal research community by logging your experience. Your personal information will never be displayed on the internet. You may also ask for someone to contact you, and we will try to reply in a timely manner. Or you can contact one of the groups registered on our site. If you have any digital data of the experience that you would like to share, you can also upload that and other users can provide feedback. We will not release your personal information at any time without your consent.br
WWPRC is purely for educational and scientific purposes, and is classified as a non-profit in the state of Massachusetts.
