Edmonton Paranormal Investigation

"Oh Nobly-born, when thy body and mind were separating, thou must have experienced a glimpse of the Pure Truth, subtle, sparkling, bright, dazzling, glorious, and radiantly awesome, in appearance, like a mirage moving across a landscape in spring time in one continuous stream of vibrations. Be not daunted thereby, nor terrified, nor awed. That is the radiance of thine own true nature. Recognize it." ~ Trans. Lama Kazi Dawa-Sandup: Bardo Thodol, The Tibetan Book of the Dead.

The first thing that you will notice about our web site is its simplicity. There are no Halloween style graphics, no cartoon haunted houses, no screaming ghosts. Those elements may well appeal to those who treat this field of study lightly. Although we are involved in doing in home and on site investigations, EPC, its investigators, researchers and members are not stereotypical  'ghosthunters' in that we are not in this area of exploration for self-fulfillment. We are not doing this because it has suddenly become trendy, or because we want to be "like the guys on T.V." We are not thrill seekers. We are not tying to be 'cool' or 'different' for the sake of being cool or different. Not since the heyday of the Victorian Era has this subject been so unfortunately and deliberately abused and disgraced.

   The Eidolon Project consists of trained, volunteer staff. We are a small group of level-headed, intelligent adults who take pride in researching, investigating and documenting the paranormal as it is related to ghosts, hauntings, the survival of consciousness after earthly death, parapsychology and other related areas of study. EPC members are experienced and dedicated. We take our endeavors and our avocation seriously and have been doing so since 1999. We proudly offer integrity and honesty, not hype. Perhaps it is due to our dedication to work that we are so unknown in the media despite years of service.

   Over time EPC has noticed is that our web site has become an inspiration to other so called "paranormal investigative" groups. Many are calling their founders "directors", many have copied elements of our mission statement, beliefs, and protocols. Many are simple trying to look more established or founded in this field of study than they really are. Charles Calab Colton said it best, "Imitation is the sincerest of flattery." Therefore, we should feel extremely flattered. However, if you are a person who may need professional help in dealing with the paranormal, we ask that you consider this simple fact: the Eidolon Project Canada is often imitated, but we are never duplicated. Our expertise,  experience and dedication to service is what keeps the EIDOLON PROJECT CANADA ahead of the rest.

.MISSION STATEMENT

"The man who goes beyond appearence is a searcher of the truth." ~ Francis Huxley

   It is the ongoing object of Eidolon Project Canada to research, investigate and document paranormal activity relating to ghosts, hauntings, spirits, the survival of personal consciousness after death (life after life), near death experiences, death bed visions and other related subjects and the psychical and parapsychological studies of the same. Our main area of focus is the investigation and documentation of ghosts, spirits and hauntings.

   This exploration will be conducted with the utmost of respect and dignity. We will not, at any time, attempt to exploit either the living or the deceased. We will conduct our studies for the purposes of acquiring knowledge, understanding and growth in the fields of the paranormal and parapsychological. We will offer unbiased, open minded and non-denominational accounts of our findings and will attempt to find reasonable, scientific and logical explanations for our findings before jumping to the conclusion that they are 'paranormal' in nature.

   In the event that we do discover entities during our investigation, it will be our main objective to get them to move onto their proper realm of existence, ie. to get them to 'cross over into the light' should they so desire to complete their journey. We will do all that we can to help both the living and the deceased. We will never encourage a lost, trapped, forlorn or grounded soul to remain earthbound for the sake of novelty or amusement, or to keep a site haunted for the sake of having a convenient ghost to 'hunt'. EPC feels that these practices are opportunistic, exploitive and disrespectful to the deceased.

   Our Governing board, investigators, researchers, indeed all EPC members will strive to keep our mission conducted professionally, seriously, sincerely and with reverence and respect for all parties involved.

The Eidolon Project exists for ethical and dedicated exploration into the realms of the paranormal.

.BELIEFS

EPC is open minded to the possibility of the existence of conscious life after earthly death. Although we stand closer to the side of the debate supporting ghosts and spirits, we are neither 100% believers, nor are we 100% cynics. We do not establish ourselves on either extreme end of the fence, but rather explore the vast field between them. We find that the majority of both the fanatical believers and the iron clad scoffers have already made up their minds on the subject and have incased them deep within sealed tombs. Neither fanatic faith nor headstrong refusal is conducive to exploration as both are selectively blind, looking at the subject with eyes, and minds, wide shut. Neither feels the need to seek out any more answers than they already have, or only accept new answers provided they support their agendas. Both extremes are as guilty as the other for slowing, if not ceasing, the thought process. Neither side questions, and without inquiry there can be no discovery. We believe that healthy skepticism is a necessary element of any avenue of exploration into the unknown, especially so when delving into the depths of the paranormal. It is our belief that this field of study should be granted the respect and dignity that it deserves. The majority of "investigators" in this field appear to be so enthralled with the "excitement and hype" that they have disregarded the fact that, living or deceased, we are dealing first and foremost with human beings. Our ambition is on going dignified exploration - not short term self-fulfilling exploitation.
