Paranormal Research Wales was based in Wales and investigated reports of apparitions, hauntings and other spontaneous paranormal phenomena.  Holding no corporate views and encouraging open and constructive debate regarding the subjects nature and reality, I have concluded that the investigative work in this field should draw to a close.  Over the last 23 years I have developed an opinion that there is little evidence to support paranormal phenomena as something other than misinterpretation, mistake, a result of psychological influence or simply normal causes. 

Indeed, thanks to a whole host of media programmes related to the subject, I have concluded that the field is now tainted and holds little credability.  These programmes, and I am sure you can guess which ones I am referring to, have dealt incredible harm to the field and to the serious researchers who were involved in it.  It has now become fashionable to spend nights in haunted houses, chasing "orbs" and flashing digital cameras in every direction blinding anyone in their path.  Businesses have sprung up to thrive on this - thus driving up costs for the serious researcher.  Anyone who takes these programmes seriously needs to re-assess their own take on reality! 

The field now holds little interest for me.  Only one group continues to be empirical and that is ASSAP.  I wish them every success, and continue to be a member.
