My Name is Darren Thompson, I was born and raised in Montreal Quebec and moved to Seattle back in 2000.
Along with 5 other people, we created WSPIR - Washington State Paranormal Investigations and Research.
Married since 2000 to my beautiful wife Jill, who supports me in everything I do. She does all the organization of events, assessments, investigations and training for WSPIR. She creates all the posters and promo packs for my band, i2i (i2irocks.com) and is our biggest fan.
When we are not investigating the paranormal, the band is playing somewhere in and around Seattle.
ABOUT WSPIR (which is more important than about me)
WSPIR current has 60 members and restricts membership ONLY in order to maintain a good balance of skills and responsibilities so that all members have the opportunity to participate in investigations.
"Good Energy" promotes “Good Results†in all of our investigations, experiments and activities; therefore, it is important to ensure that we are a “good fit†with one another.
Not everyone will be accepted for membership or you may decide that we aren’t the group for you. There are many paranormal groups available and we will provide you with contact information for other groups in the area.
WSPIR recognizes the use of psychic sciences as an additional investigative instrument which joins the technical side in generating rich case studies for the benefit of clients and to assist clients in understanding their experiences and helping to lessen their fears.
WSPIR members are diverse, yet open-minded people (“open minded skepticsâ€) with varied interests, theories and areas of expertise who are enthusiastic about researching, studying paranormal activity and learning from each other. We do not go into any investigation for the excitement of being scared so we are not “thrill seekersâ€. We are paranormal investigators thoroughly trained in all areas of investigating and perform every investigation with professionalism and respect, both to the living and to the spirits.
