The Southwest Ghost Hunter's Association is predominately a research organization. Our mission is not necessarily to prove that ghosts exist, but to investigate all possible explanations of areas that are associated with being haunted. We are open minded to all theories and methods, although we use scientific method. We feel that the use of scientific method is crucial in studying the phenomena known as ghosts. First an hypotheses must be formulated and then data and other information must be collected to support the hypotheses. Recognizing that personal and cultural beliefs influence both our perceptions and our interpretations of natural phenomena, we aim through the use of standard procedures and criteria to minimize those influences when developing a theory. Our organization is composed of both skeptics and believers. We have Charters in New Mexico, Texas and Arizona.
