will be in the strictest confidence if the client so wishes. Any findings on the night will remain solely in Scottish Paranormal official records for team only.
Q. Can I invite my friends to the investigation?
A. Unfortunately the answer has to be no, we cannot allow non members of the family to attend as it can interfere with the smooth running or our investigation. We like to try and keep numbers down to a bare minimum while investigating a private residence.We do however, allow friends to attend any charity investigations we perform
Q. Can young children be present during the investigation?
A. For reasons of safety and because of the sensitive nature of the case, we need to look after the wellbeing of minors, sorry but we cannot allow anyone under the age of 15yrs to attend. We hope you can understand this. All private home investigations we attend that have youngsters in the household we will ask that the clients make prior arrangements for the children to be taken away for a couple of hours by a family member or neighbour for the duration of the investigation.
Q. Will my home or location be invaded by large numbers of investigators?
A. No! We are a small team of five,one of which is an overseas investigator; we will only choose key members of the team to attend an investigation, (no more than (4) for a private residence investigation.

A. Yes! We will make out a full written report plus a DVD of the outcome whether or not we find anything, we can then deliver it to you personally or it can be arranged to be sent off to you via post.
