Thanks to all the RIPS members for sitting here and going through numerous pictures, audio tapes , and video clips.... to finally make our dream a reality with this website. I know it was painstakingly hours of work to accomplish this, and let's hope that ALL of our years and years of hard work will show here., and what it is that we truly do believe in!
I am indebted to the people of this group, we are all close and like family....... and there is a reason that we are, and this works in order to be able to prove what we set out to prove. or to disprove. After all we are our worst own critics, and we rightfully should be................ Kay (founder).
We refrain from using ouija boards, seances or any other form of summoning up activity in order to research the paranormal.

Here on our homepage are a series of four pictures taken at one of our favorite haunts, Hadley's Cemetery on Aug. 9th, 2006. We were all standing outside the perimeter of the cemetery and happened to see a rather large "flash" coming from inside. I told everyone that still happened to have any battery power left to shoot and shoot now......yay Mary for capturing these great pictures!!
You can see investigator Mary was able to catch the bright flash of light in the first picture, and granted this is shot into the cemetery which happens to be located in a very remote area with dense trees surrounding this....therefore there couldn't be any outside interference at all with any of these pictures. Many many faces are seen in this ectoplasmic mist forming, and then it is gone as fast as it did appear on film to us then.
UPDATE: January 18, 2009
We have now been able to disclose all of our findings on the investigation of the murder house we did on April 19, 2007. This crime has been solved and the murderer recently went to court. We refrained on posting about this crime with the utmost respect for the victim and her family.

UPDATED: October 3, 2008
Now we have been able to load more pictures to our "In Memory Of" page for our dear departed member Tonya Fialko who was tragically taken from this plane on November 9th, 2007. These pictures loaded on this page we truly feel do capture the true "Tonya" and why and how we all loved her so much.....RIP our dear friend until we all meet again.
