Binghamton Area Paranormal Society (B.A.P.S.)

Here are some frequently asked questions asked to the BAPS team.

Q: Is BAPS looking for new team members?

A: "As of now, the answer is no, if there is an opening it will be posted on the website stating that we are looking for new people to join our team"

Q: Is there a fee for when I ask BAPS to come investigate?

A: "No, there is no fee whatsoever. All of our services are free. Donations never hurt the cause but are never forced upon. Any money received during the investigations and other activities goes towards BAPS equipment and travel fees."

Q: How do we know that the BAPS evidence isn't tainted?

A:"There will always be skeptics no matter what kind of evidence is brought about. The skeptics will state that all evidence of paranormal activity is a joke or tainted. BAPS stands by all captured evidence from pictures, EVPs, videos,...etc. All evidence is untainted, untouched, and 100% real. If people choose to believe otherwise then that is their choice, but as we said all evidence captured is untainted"

 Q: What do I have to do to get in contact with BAPS?

 A: "It's is simple, just send an e-mail to binghamtonareaparanormalsociety@yahoo.com stating your comment,question, or concern."

 Q: Is there some way that we can learn how to ghost hunt?

 A: "Anybody can be a paranormal researcher, but this isn't just something that you jump right into. It takes a lot of time to research and learn the ways to conduct yourself when certain situations arrive. BAPS does offer some lessons in the field of investigating using different pieces of equipment but taking these lessons does not mean you are ready to wonder off by yourself to an isolated location trying to get the spirits to come and get you."

Q: Does BAPS use Ouija Boards?

A: "Absolutely not!  The theory behind Ouija Boards is that they are a portal to the other side. Which you may think that if we are looking for ghosts then why not use to bring them to us. Well our problem is we are trying to find what is already there, and not add to their problem. Also another theory with the Ouija Board is that the spirits that are attracted to the Ouija Board are negative spirits. And we try to avoid bringing spirits like that to us. Not saying we do not deal with negative spirits its just that we do not want to bring them to us if it is not necessary."
