The American Ghost Society is a national network of ghost hunters and psychical researchers who conduct investigations into the paranormal in a non-metaphysical manner. One of our main goals is to seek out allegedly haunted locations and to assist those who are experiencing problems with the paranormal. The group members then look for authentic evidence of the paranormal and try to determine if the location is haunted. We are seeking genuine evidence and are careful about the presentation of this evidence... insuring that it is legitimate, researched and analyzed before being presented to the general public. By combining history with ghost research, we offer a unique approach to psychical research that few (if any) groups can offer.

The credibility of the group is maintained above all else as we rarely work with psychics or conduct investigations using metaphysical methods.  We are not "Ghost Busters", but when a case does prove to be genuine, assistance through other channels may be provided at the location owner's request.

In addition, we do not claim to be experts in the paranormal, as no experts exist when it comes to the supernatural, no matter what anyone may claim or who may claim to be one. We are instead working to present an image of competent researchers who are collecting the most authentic evidence possible. Investigations conducted under the auspices of the American Ghost Society are always held to the standards of the group and are conducted with integrity, honesty and with discretion.

The American Ghost Society is also different than other ghost hunting organizations because we are a tangible society and network, not just an internet mailing list. We are a real group with active members and investigators and provide a newsletter and a private discussion list for members to interact and to share notes on ghosts, hauntings, current research, investigations and more. However, we do have a limited membership system. Membership is open to everyone for the first year but only active and participating members are invited to renew for continuing membership.

We hope that you might consider joining our network of investigators and enthusiasts. We only ask that our members maintain an image of professionalism and a mindset of "true skepticism"... meaning that you have an open mind to everything and believe that anything might be possible!
