The Midnight Watchmen is an American Paranormal group located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. They have conducted multiple investigations free of charge on local urban legends, myths, claims of Ghosts, and reportedly Haunted locations in Pennsylvania. In 2013, they began co-hosting the yearly Paranormal Journeys Expo with www.paranormaldictionary.com, which raises money for charities and/or a historic haunted.
Mission Statement
The goal of The Midnight Watchmen is to investigate Paranormal happenings and Urban Myths in a professional and informative manner to either tangibly prove or disprove their occurrence. We will always provide our services free of charge, as well as to help the public better understand the nature of supernatural phenomena. The Midnight Watchmen wants to let anyone who has or is experiencing this type of phenomenon to know that they are not alone…
Equipment
During investigations, they use various equipment, including digital audio recorders, digital Cameras, day/night still picture game camera, EMF detectors, KII Meters, laser thermometers, Green Laser Grid, Full Spectrum Video Cameras, DVR Camera System with Night Vision Cameras and motion detectors.
Methodology
After a preliminary interview and meeting with a client, Midnight Watchmen will perform an investigation typically lasting around four to six hours. During the investigation, researchers will utilize their equipment in an attempt to capture evidence of Paranormal activity, as well as exploring every possible logical explanation for the alleged activity. In many cases, the investigators will not have personally experienced any paranormal activity. However, when all the audio and video recordings are later analyzed, it is often then that evidence is discovered. Once all of the evidence is analyzed, the team presents its findings to the client. There is never a charge for any of these services.
Techniques Used
In their attempts to communicate with Spirits they employ the techniques of provoking, use of Trigger Objects, conducting E.V.P. sessions, and the use of common sense.
