The San Jose Ghost Hunter's Association is predominately a research organization. Our mission is not necessarily to prove that ghosts exist, but to investigate all possible explanations of areas that are associated with being haunted. We are open minded to all theories and methods, although we use scientific method. Our organization is composed of both skeptics and believers.
Important Note concerning Ghost hunts and Investigations:
Many other organizations believe a ghost hunt and an investigation are the same thing, but SJGH does not support that view. SJGH feels ghost hunting and investigating are two separate elements, which are a part of a series of phases within the research process."Ghost Hunts" and documentaries are very liberal and photos in these types of reports may be included simply because we like a picture, not because we think its a paranormal event. Research reports are generally more focused on data related to a hypothsis that we are formulating or testing.
