RISEUP PARANORMAL

HISTORICAL RESEARCH & PRESERVATION

History is often linked to reports of strange phenomena and solid historical research is a principle tenant of solid paranormal investigation. RISEUP is based in Rhode Island, with affiliates located throughout the New England area - a region ripe with colonial and pre-colonial history. With the influx of European settlers in the 1600s and the superstitions and folklore that accompanied them, it is beyond simple irony that reports of ghosts and hauntings are so prevalent within this region. We place extreme importance in providing all parties with thorough and accurate research about a particular location throughout any investigation. Information concerning any location’s history can undoubtedly introduce vital knowledge, insight and clarity into any paranormal scenario. Our research does not necessarily end with the conclusion of an investigation or consultation. As people with a strong academic interest in history and its potential relation to supernatural phenomena, we often continue to pursue background information about a location or individual until all available resources are exhausted. When dealing with significantly historic locations, it is important that one's approach and interest should embrace its past and its significance to the community, the region and the entire country. RISEUP has no interest in perpetuating (or basing its conclusions on) rumors, urban legends or mythologies surrounding any such building or location thereby reducing it’s reputation to nothing more than a "haunted location". This is something we take quite seriously when the opportunity arises to visit such places. We have been privileged to have traveled to and investigated claims of paranormal activity in a number of Nationally Registered Historical Places as well as many other historically significant locations in the country.
