History
The Canadian Haunting and Paranormal Society ( C.H.A.P.S.) is a non-profit paranormal investigation team that was founded in 2005 by David Gibb. Officially they became a team in the spring of 2006. The team originally started in Pembroke, Ontario but has now expanded to two locations with another in Oshawa, Ontario. C.H.A.P.S uses a mix of science and spirituality, with a full compliment of equipment. They do not go into an investigation with the mindset to prove or disprove paranormal activity. They simply go in to enjoy the investigation, and learn as much as they possibly can about the unknown. Looking to help as many people as they possibly can, completely free of charge. C.H.A.P.S. became an official TAPS Family Member in 2008. In 2010 they became proud members of PSICAN and IPI.

Investigations
Once a request has been made by a client, you will be contacted to set up an investigation date. On that day the team will come to your location and set-up a variety of equipment including infra-red dvr cameras. They will walk around and do what is known as base-reads. Once everything is set and ready to go, they will go "lights out". During this time the team will do sweeps of the property, checking for EMF(electrical magnetic fields) readings and doing EVP(electrical voice phenomena) sessions. During this time they will also try to debunk claims by looking for physical causes for the claims being made. Upon completion of the investigation, over the next few days, the team will analyze all the data and recordings that they captured that night. They will then report any findings to the client.
