If learning is what you came for, you've come to the right place.

If you're here for thrills and chills and to "Oooo and Ahhh" over photos of dust, straps, breath, and other common camera problems, well...sorry to disappoint you.

We at the OGHS actually do real scientific research, employing topical science theory to practical application. You won't find made up "fairy-tale" theories, speculation, conjecture, or assumption here. If we can't prove it, and show you the proof, you won't see it on this website...the internet is already polluted enough with that other stuff.

So sit back, get comfortable, pour yourself your beverage of choice, and get ready to journey into the world of Real Paranormal Studies...

As Bill Cosby used to say on the old Fat Albert cartoon: "If you're not careful, you just might learn something.", and take a different view of the way paranormal studies are being handled today.

 How We Do It

Whenever I get a request to come to someone's house lately, the main concern of theirs isn't how dangerous or how long it would take...its they don't want a "bunch of yay-hoos in their house like on television" (I cleaned it up)

Let me assure you right now, we don't operate like that...never have, never will.

The old adage "Too many cooks spoil the soup" holds very true when it comes to checking out a possible haunting.
We're very non-invasive, with a maximum of maybe 3 people. Its usually just myself flying solo, or 1 other person. We might bring in a third depending on the size of the place. So you needn't worry about a dozen knuckleheads tripping over each other.

We don't merely mimic what we see on television without any clue, like most "groups" out there I've seen do. I've personally been at this since 1979, and try to pass along my knowledge and experiences to others representing OGHS.

We bring a minimum of gear, not a truckload of useless junk to look impressive. To your neighbors, we're just a couple of friends there for a casual visit. Don't be surprised if the weather is nice, I show up on my motorcycle. It kind of adds to the "low key" purpose of the visit.

We don't have OGHS emblazoned on our vehicles or anything else drawing attention to our visit.

We don't have "uniforms", or dress alike in matching OGHS t-shirts, jackets, or hats...or like some "groups" out there, wear cammo. (yes, they're out there)

We don't use Ouija Boards, burn magic candles, or perform any kind of "rituals". If you want them gone, we'll take a shot at it, but there's no guarantees it'll work the first time.

PRIVACY is Rule Number One!!...We won't go through your stuff, or take any souvenirs.

We always leave a place in better condition than we found it. No, we're not going to do your dishes or clean your gutters, but we'll take our pop cans, candy wrappers, or any other trash we have with us.

Nothing gets posted on the website...your name, location, etc...Your privacy and trust is important to us. We only post things as examples of findings if the place is publicly accessed. NEVER a private residence.

We will NEVER accept a dime for "services", "expenses", "donations", or to "further our research". If you have a haunting, you shouldn't have to worry about money either. If a "group" or individual asks for money in any way or form, find somebody else.

I know, having a total stranger(s) in your house can be uncomfortable, but we like to make the best of a weird situation. We'll sit and talk with you and make a few jokes, and try to make it fun and put you at ease.

But above all...WE CARE. We care about you, we care about your property, we care about your well being, we care about your peace of mind...and THAT'S the way it SHOULD be done...not just thrill seeking like a the vast majority of other "groups" out there do it, thanks to good ol' television.

That's what sets us apart from the rest...
