No one can deny that Richmond, Virginia, is a city with a history of heartaches and triumphs. Is there any wonder why nearly every neighborhood is overflowing with tales of otherworldly happenings? The city offers an assortment of haunts like no other - Native American spirits watching over sacred lands, Civil War soldiers making their march home, lamenting lovers, and allegedly the ghosts of some major players in American History.

With so much here waiting to be explored and studied, the need for a Richmond-based paranormal research group was strong. Join us in our attempts to collect evidence of genuine hauntings in the Central Virginia area and share some of your experiences with believers and skeptics alike. The larger and stronger we can build our group, the more ground we can cover and research!

Who are we?

The Virginia Society of Paranormal Education and Research (VASPER) Investigation Team is a group of experienced paranormal investigators based in Richmond, Virginia who have been investigating and documenting reports of ghosts, hauntings and paranormal activity in the Central Virginia area - some since 1989. Our team is comprised of business owners, professionals, writers, scientists, former military personnel, and electronics specialists. We are mature, serious minded individuals with years of experience in the field of paranormal research.

What do we do?

We investigate and document reports of ghosts, hauntings and paranormal activity in the Richmond area using scientific methods and electronic equipment to rule out natural causes for reported phenomena. Our mission is twofold: Collect verifiable scientifically based evidence of the survival of the human personality after death while helping people understand and cope with possible paranormal activity in their homes or businesses before and after an investigation. We use the most up-to-date video, audio and surveillance equipment to document our investigations, and we constantly exchange ideas and information with other nationally recognized paranormal investigation teams in a continuing effort to improve our investigation techniques and remain at the forefront of paranormal research.
