About: The Great Lakes Ghost Society -
   -   The GLGS was formed in 1996 and was originally named The Great Lakes Ghost Hunters Society. The group developed as a branch of the Michigan Anomalous Information Network (MAIN). As local interest grew in the research and investigation of what is considered by many to be "paranormal" phenomena MAIN splintered into the GLGHS to focus specifically on these events, (Ghosts, Hauntings, Psychic Phenomena, Remote Viewing, etc.). We provide investigations and consultations to individuals who believe they are experiencing these types of phenomena. Our members also hold lectures/seminars and workshops in the hopes of creating a more and better informed community of individuals who share a similar mind-set regarding these experiences. In 2005 The Great Lakes Ghost Hunters Society officially changed it's name to The Great Lakes Ghost Society.

  -   Our investigations and on-site research is free of charge. Our researchers act in a professional manner showing the utmost care and concern for not only the matter being researched but the community at large as well. The goal of these investigations is to collect, compile and archive information so that an unbias well-researched history can be collected and passed along to other researchers. Our investigations follow through to whatever conclusion no matter what that conclusion may be.  Unlike many other "paranormal" organizations we do not employ or use "psychics" in our investigations. Psychic phenomena (methods and means) are part of what we are researching, we believe using it to research itself is counterproductive. We understand that there are a multitude of people who are interested in "paranormal" phenomena, and that many of these people believe running around graveyards and abandon houses is helping to resolve a series of questions that humankind has of itself, but in many cases we believe that this only hinders those researchers, scientists and investigators who are trying to create a well-founded and accepted scientific field.

   -  Our investigations run from April to October of each year. In special cases we will investigate during the winter months but this is only after a rigorous vetting process. Our lectures, seminars and workshops continue throughout the entire year.

   -   Our by-laws and constitution outline how and why our organization functions in the manner in which it does. Members agree to abide by these by-laws as well as our strict code of ethics and research methodology. We believe that only when the "paranormal" community starts to take itself seriously will progress in this field be made.

    -   Our motto is "Scire quod sciendum" which is latin for "Knowledge which is worth having". It is a major goal of our organization to construct, aquire, transfer, archive and maintain knowledge about paranormal phenomena that is "worth having".
