In 1992, our founder had an encounter with a demonic possessed individual. Since that experience, her interest in the paranormal became very stimulated. She began using library resources and interviewing others who have also experienced paranormal activity to further her research for better understanding and to quench her thirst for personal knowledge.
In 1998, she used this acquired knowledge as a foundation to form a local research group known as Ghostridaz Paranormal Research Team. This research group remained intact and active until the summer of 2004 with the loss of only one member. With the addition of six more members in June, 2004 our founder decided it was time for some changes. New members. New equipment. New beginning.
July, 2004. INFINITY Paranormal Investigations was created. Consisting of twelve active members, this team took on a new view with paranormal investigations. Each were given a specific function to perform within the group. Trainings and field investigations began to intensify the credibility of this group. Respect was being built among team members as well as the local community.
December, 2004. INFINITY Paranormal Investigations changed its title to INFINITY Paranormal Investigations Network. The coverage area for IPIN was restricted to local counties in West Virginia and surrounding states. (Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky) The team decided it was time to expand to other areas. By attempting consolidation with Northern Appalachia Paranormal Society based in Cambridge, Ohio under the agreements to act as an expansion of INFINITY, NAPS became known as INFINITY's Northern Operations. With this consolidation, INFINITY was now also able to offer services to those located in Northern West Virginia, Eastern and South-Eastern Ohio, and Western Pennsylvania.
February, 2005. With using the resources available in an online IRC chat, INFINITY Paranormal Investigations begins a new journey by founding a program designed to bring together groups across the states and around the globe by designing and providing an online community, accessible 24 hours a day. Being assisted in this journey by twelve other paranormal teams, such as C.O.P.S., C.G.P.I., and more. The task became a universal effort by those involved and now were able to provide an online forum filled with information for users seeking knowledge. This became known as the ..Para-Investigators Online Paranormal Assistance Program.
September, 2005. INFINITY PIN with affiliates from the P.O.P.A.P. program and fellow divisions of INFINITY designed a new project targeted to help newer groups just venturing into the field to find mentorship and advice from more seasoned paranormal teams. Being based on a 'big brother/big sister' type program, INFINITY is currently attempting to make this project a success by finding senior groups willing to lend a hand, and knowledge to some new guys. This project is known as N.O.P.A.P. - Navigators Online Para-Apprentice Project.
..Para-Investigators Online Paranormal Assistance Program
Para-Investigators Online Paranormal Assistance Program is a program which interacts with many groups around the globe. In attempts to provide a 24/7 accessible online paranormal community that targets the needs of both users and investigators.
The IRC chat channels are designed to provide areas for investigators to share info, theories, cases, procedures, methods, and more. Including private meeting rooms for one-on-one conversations to provide the best of privacy. And with having a network of multiple rooms, we need moderators who observe the rooms and ensure the most comfortable environment possible is provided.
In determining who will be the individuals who moderate these rooms, we have a process we follow, allowing all chatters who show an interest in the paranormal that provide a professional presentation of kindness, being courteous, and showing effort and willingness to help others the opportunity to be nominated as a future op by the chat directors. The founders of the chat channel will cast votes on the nominees and new moderators will be added as needed.
Also provided to users through a combined effort from the P.O.P.A.P. Director of Info and Resources and Forum Administrators, we have a forum filled with documentation written by some of the most respected researchers of today's paranormal field.
P.O.P.A.P. is currently making a strong impression in the field by the efforts of seventeen or more teams across the globe. This type of program could not be a success without these groups. We are very thankful to have such professional, knowledgeable, and courteous folks working together to help us reach our goal. Kudos' to you guys!
