I thought I would take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Jacqui Carpenter and I am the Founder/Director of International Paranormal Research Assoc., Inc. located in the United States. The concept behind IPRA is to give teams worldwide an opportunity to assist in research requests from programs in need of field studies. The guidelines for each field study will be submitted by the research organization for the teams to choose which, one or more, they want to incorporate into their own investigations. There are thousands of teams worldwide conducting paranormal investigations, there are hours of data gathered and left sitting on a shelf in the back room. It is our mission at IPRA to bring this vast array of data into a central system using research protocol requested by researchers and correlate like evidence in the hopes of finding the answers we all seek. IPRA is also dedicated to leading young teams in their efforts to establish themselves as legit paranormal investigators and offer them a place to network with senior investigators to gain insight on protocol, equipment and support in their efforts. By establishing a worldwide network of teams we will be able to bring this research into a formatted cohesive program and establish paranormal research as a viable legitimate research project. I am also a psychic medium, author, mother of two wonderful girls and grandmother of eight fantastic grandchildren. I raise horse, using them in therapy to work with troubled children, I have four dogs, thirty barn cats and a collection of friends and family who continue to bless my lfie each and every day.
