About Us
CPSI is a private, not for profit, group dedicated to studying and
investigating claims of the paranormal.  We use a scientifically-minded
approach to our investigations, as opposed to a metaphysical one, to
obtain non-disputable evidence of the paranormal.  We do not use Ouija
boards, dowsing rods, or séances as part of our investigations due to
their inability to provide solid evidence.  We are looking for the
truth...for evidence.  We maintain an optimistically skeptical attitude in
all of our investigations, however, that which cannot be disproved may
be potential evidence.

We do not charge for our investigations or consultations...we cannot
guarantee any specific results or findings.  To better assist us with
being able to help others, we do carry liability insurance.  We are not
cleansers, or exorcists, and we make no claim that we have the ability to
remove a spirit or entity from a location.    We seek only the truth.

We are based out of the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, but do not limit
ourselves to only that region.  We do not present ourselves as experts,
for when it comes to the paranormal, no true expert can exist.  We are
selective in choosing our investigators and members and will only
accept those who will compliment our style of investigation and add to
the general productivity of our organization.
CPSI is Tom's baby.  When he gets an idea, he will
research beyond belief until he gets everything that can
possibly be found.  Based on his collected information, we
decide where our services are most needed, and exactly
what type of investigation we will be doing.  He is a Lead
Investigator, as well as our founder.  

Tom is difficult to catch in a photograph.  When he shows
up in a picture, it's either a group photo or we just get a
part of him.  Of course, when you're as busy as he is
during an investigation, you have no time to pose.

Besides being the founder of our organization, Tom brings
to the group a love for the paranormal, as well as the
education, knowledge, and drive to make a successful
investigation.

So, is this how the aliens see us?
CPSI Founder & Director
Heidi has been there since the begining.  Since before
there even was a CPSI.  She loved the idea of the group,
because she has always had an interest in the
paranormal, and she  loves science.  So, this is practically
second nature to her.

Heidi loves research, history, and learning new things.  
She is always willing to take on new projects, which brings
an ease and comfort to the group.  When she says she'll
take care of it, you can count on it getting done.

Bryan's knowledge of the paranormal, and the equipment
used during investigations to collect data, is extensive.  At
any given time he jumps right in with both feet.  His
research has proved invaluable and he joked once that he
has developed an addiction to this "craft".  He's a real "go
getter" in that he will contact anyone at a moment's notice
to ask questions, do research, or setup and schedule a
case.  Many of the investigations that we've now done
were brought to us either by, or through, him.

So, when it became necessary to fill the position of case
manager, it was a no brainer that it would be Bryan.  Even
though he's been an investigator with us for quite some
time now, he has been recently moved up to the position of
Lead Investigator, too.  Bryan is a great help in the
research department, and one of the reasons that we are
able to do what we do.

Tom began CPSI back in early 2004, after being a part of a larger ghost hunting organization.  However, he
was looking for something more tangible, something where like-minded people could work together to find
the truth about what's out there.  This was back before the time of all the ever so popular ghost hunting t.v.
shows that permeate the airwaves now,  legitimate paranormal research groups in the south western
Pennsylvania area were scarce.  So, together with his good friend, and fellow paranormal enthusiast, Heidi,
they formed CPSI and established our goal...Seeking Truth in the Paranormal

Lead Investigator
Terry is one of our more active investigators. He has had
an interest in the paranormal ever since high school when
he had his first experience.  With no longer being in the
military he has finally found time the to pursue this interest.
With a outgoing personality and an eagerness to help, he
has proven himself to be a great asset to our team.

As an avid hunter, Terry is now hunting for something just
a little...different.
