In 1992, our founder had an
encounter with a demonic possessed individual. Since that experience, her
interest in the paranormal became very stimulated. She began using library
resources and interviewing others who have also experienced paranormal
activity to further her research for better understanding and to quench
her thirst for personal knowledge.
In 1998, she used this acquired
knowledge as a foundation to form a local research group known as Ghostridaz Paranormal Research Team. This research group remained intact
and active until the summer of 2004 with the loss of only one member. With
the addition of six more members in June, 2004 our founder decided it was
time for some changes. New members. New equipment. New
beginning.
July, 2004. INFINITY Paranormal Investigations was
created. Consisting of twelve active members, this team took on a new view
with paranormal investigations. Each were given a specific function to
perform within the group. Trainings and field investigations began to
intensify the credibility of this group. Respect was being built among
team members as well as the local community.
December, 2004.
INFINITY Paranormal Investigations changed its title to INFINITY
Paranormal Investigations Network. The coverage area for IPIN was
restricted to local counties in West Virginia and surrounding states.
(Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky) The team decided it was time to expand
to other areas. By attempting consolidation with Northern Appalachia
Paranormal Society based in Cambridge, Ohio under the agreements to act as
an expansion of INFINITY, NAPS became known as INFINITY's Northern
Operations. With this consolidation, INFINITY was now also able to offer
services to those located in Northern West Virginia, Eastern and
South-Eastern Ohio, and Western Pennsylvania.
February, 2005. With using the
resources available in an online IRC chat, INFINITY Paranormal
Investigations begins a new journey by founding a program designed to
bring together groups across the states and around the globe by designing
and providing an online community, accessible 24 hours a day. Being
assisted in this journey by twelve other paranormal teams, such as C.O.P.S., C.G.P.I., and more. The task became a universal effort by those
involved and now were able to provide an online forum filled with
information for users seeking knowledge. This became known as the
#Para-Investigators Online Paranormal Assistance Program.
September, 2005. INFINITY PIN with
affiliates from the P.O.P.A.P. program and fellow divisions of INFINITY
designed a new project targeted to help newer groups just venturing into
the field to find mentorship and advice from more seasoned paranormal
teams. Being based on a 'big brother/big sister' type program, INFINITY is
currently attempting to make this project a success by finding senior
groups willing to lend a hand, and knowledge to some new guys. This
project is known as N.O.P.A.P. - Navigators Online Para-Apprentice
Project.
INFINITY Paranormal Investigations Network has great hopes
of expanding to more additional divisions in the future. Those who are
interested can contact a founder to submit a request. All
requests are submitted for review by division founders of INFINITY. You
