W elcome to MISSOURI PARANORMAL RESEARCH
We are a professional team of experienced paranormal investigators and researchers who combine a unique blend of humanistic values and scientific techniques which result in a well formulated balanced approach to paranormal investigations and research.
Along with our adherence to a strict set of protocols and standards, our methods result in superior client satisfaction, the collection of quality evidence beneficial to the overall progression of the paranormal research and investigative field,and in some cases bring peace or closure for the source of the haunting.
FOR THE CLIENT
MISSOURI PARANORMAL RESEARCH serves its clients in three ways. First, we address the client's needs, then we support the advancement of our field through the collection of evidence and data for further study, and last, try to address the requests of the paranormal.
Through consultation and other methods, we have found that proper investigative techniques, combined with the proper analysis can result in a mutual and peaceful co-existence between the human client(s) and their paranormal inhabitant(s).
When this is not achievable, we discuss with the client the wide range of possible solutions to meet their needs utilizing intelligent analysis, research and "proper presentation". The client is the one who makes the ultimate decision concerning which solution is best for them. MPR staff will not abandon you and vow to stay with you until a resolution to your issue is achieved.
Most importantly, we can help you. Often a full nvestigation is not necessary; sometimes an interview and some simple research can provide you with an explainable cause or simple solution to your predicament.
All of our investigations are done at no cost to you. We understand your fears and needs as most of the MPR members have experienced and lived through a haunting themselves. We know what you are experiencing and the effects it may be having upon you and your family. We care about you and the potential psychological and physical dangers you and your family may be subjected to. Most of all we respect your privacy and wishes. Our clients come first.
If you need our services please Contact us , to learn more about how we can help you.
FOR THE INVESTIGATIVE RESEARCH FIELD
At MISSOURI PARANORMAL RESEARCH we have developed new philosophies and concepts concerning investigations, research and other issues which are overlooked or ignored by the general paranormal community.
We will be sharing these through a series of articles, guides and other forms of presentations on this website and throughout the paranormal community.
Separate from our private investigation, We have also initiated a system of open field ivestigations involving better known public hauntings, urban legends, and other not so well known places which will provide extensive opportunities for new and even experienced investigators to receive field training and further practice with their techniques and equipment. This allows members on our Open Forum to participate and gain experience vital to both future clients and the paranormal field alike.
This also allows us to dedicate time to focus on our collection of potential data and evidence to share with the paranormal community for further analysis.
FOR THE SKEPTICS
MISSOURI PARANORMAL RESEARCH welcomes skeptics and non-believers alike. They are important to the advancement of our field. Who better than a skeptic to offer possible explanations for anomalies captured on film and audio or for other potential collected evidence and data?
MISSOURI PARANORMAL RESEARCH appreciates and values input from this other side of the fence. In order to conduct proper analysis and validation of evidence,the researcher or investigator first has to rule out all "explainable" causes through recreation attempts or other methods. The skeptic or non-believer many times is the most important factor in this process...

Music:

The background music which contained actual captured EVP as well as human voices captured in 2005 in Union, Missouri has been removed due to the potential hidden dangers of playing such without proper warning. These were from the house MPR founder, Steven LaChance once lived in when he was a true non-believer. This is the haunting he and his family experienced in which he and his children fled in the middle of the night and since that night he has been a true believer.

Steven later returned to assist a new tenet who moved into the same house and to face his demons. It was during this assistance and seeking others, as being a client of sorts himself, to help that he learned the many deficiencies many paranormal research and investigative groups had. This inspired Steven both to form his own Paranormal Research and Investigative Group and the birth of his humanistic approach to investigations placing the clients needs aboave and beyond everything else.

It is this same haunting that will be featured as the Discovery Channel's "A Haunting" series Season 3 opener sometime in October of 2006.

To learn more about MISSOURI PARANORMAL RESEARCH Founder Steven LaChance and the Union Haunting, please visit his myspace page at WWW.MYSPACE.COM/STEVENLACHANCE

The EV{'s including the EVP mix which was removed from this page can be listened to by going to the Union Haunting section of the MPR website at: WWW.UNIONHAUNTING.COM where such warnings about playing EVP's can also be found.
