"MIDWEST PARANORMAL FILES"
UNITED STATES : DETROIT LAKES, MN Midwest Paranormal Files Was First A Newspaper Column.The local sports writer for Detroit Lakes started writing articles for the paper about the paranormal. He titled the series The Midwest Paranormal Files. After tagging along with a group out of Fargo he and his wife decided to start their own group. In September of 2010 he placed an add looking for anyone interested in having their house/business investigated as well as anyone who would like to join a group. For varied reasons, at least 10 people showed up. Out of that group are the four founders left today. The original couple that put it together have moved on to follow their paths in a warmer climate.

We have opened the weekend for ParaCon at the Shooting Star Casino each of the 9 years. We volunteer at Pow Wow’s, haunted house events, museum fundraising, among other things. Ghost hunting 101 and 102 classes are taught through Community Ed. We are a team of five full time investigators, each with our own take on what it is that goes bump in the night.
Midwest Paranormal Files is dedicated to collecting and sharing knowledge of the paranormal. Each investigation, free of charge, begins with background information gathering. Client interviews and site historical research is conducted. We use electronic and other equipment to conduct paranormal investigations for our clients. To the best of our abilities, every effort is made to find a physical explanation for any and all paranormal claims. Evidence review is a very careful process undertaken with collaboration from the entire team and any evidence is presented to the client in a timely manner. When necessary, and by invitation, return investigations can be scheduled.
Client confidentiality, including location confidentiality, is of utmost importance. Some clients are willing to allow publication of their location, names, and likenesses on our website or other social media and/or in media presentations. We are extremely careful to use only that information which has been pre-approved by each client.
Community Outreach is an important part of Midwest Paranormal Files. When opportunities arise, we are proud to volunteer and participate. MPF has participated in Memorial 5k Run/Walks, regularly volunteers at a Native American Pow Wow, helps create and volunteers at a Halloween Haunted House fundraiser, volunteers at an annual golf tournament fundraiser, and created and presented a changing yearly presentation for Paracon – a local annual paranormal convention that was held at Shooting Star Casino & Event Center in Mahnomen, Minnesota.
Midwest Paranormal Files gains no income from community outreach participation. Every cost incurred, including everything from equipment to travel expenses, is paid solely by each team member.
Midwest Paranormal Files has collected a small income from a single education class conducted through Detroit Lakes Community Education in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota.
The business of being in paranormal research is expensive, but Midwest Paranormal Files feels that the business of sharing time, effort, and knowledge is significantly more important

Evidence From Our
Public Investigations |
|
Midwest Paranormal Files are very strict with which content we share. When we do an investigation everything stays between our members and the client. After the evidence is revealed to the client, and the client gives us permission, is when we post any evidence. These are the cases the clients have given us permission to show.
We probably have thrown out some really good clips following our strict guideline of “when in doubt, throw it out” If we feel the evidence can’t stand alone we often won’t use it. Audio recorders and video cameras are used in collecting evidence. K2 meters, and other tools, won’t be used as evidence. Instead they are presented as something of interest. As a group we feel the use of Ghost Box, spirit box, and other similar tools are prone to more false positives than they are worth.
