San Antonio Paranormal Investigations is a local non-lucrative organization (based in San Antonio, Texas) devoted to the investigation, study, and documentation of paranormal phenomena - associated to the existence of life after-death and related fields. SAPI is interested in conducting extensive research in regards to the continuation of human consciousness (memories, awareness, behavior, etc.) after physical departure. SAPI's' philosophy is to approach a case from a scientific perspective, always attempting to locate and identify rational realistic explanations and to also approach a case with an open mind as to the possibility of dealing with the presence and existence of phenomena strongly related to life after-death. SAPI applies a degree of science combining non conventional methods of investigation (Psychic Mediums) with a strong emphasis in Scientific Methodologies, and in accordance to SAPI Rules, Protocols, and in compliance with ethical and professional standards of conduct. San Antonio Paranormal Investigations ("SAPI") conducts Monthly Meetings at Our Lady of the Lake University with the objective of educating, presenting, and reaching out to the community. Monthly Meetings are opened to the general public and are free of charge.
SAPI offers assistance/second opinion (free of charge) to those experiencing unexplained phenomena related to the presence of unexplained forces. SAPI can help with paranormal events taking place in your home, business, land, etc. This organization serves as a group for people in need, support, and to those searching to educate themselves as to the nature and understanding of abnormal manifestations related to the afterlife and related fields. SAPI is interested in opening its doors to individuals with a keen interest in studying and researching paranormal events, conducted under and in accordance to SAPI Rules, Protocols, Scientific Methodologies, ethics, and professional standards of conduct.

With 10 years of continuous and serious research, SAPI strives for the necessity to investigate the paranormal under controlled conditions with a strong emphasis in documenting physical and environmental conditions in which abnormal phenomena may occur. For SAPI, it is imperative that all experimental data collected from a paranormal investigation is submitted, analyzed, and processed for a better understanding for future generations and for the overall commitment to explain the root-cause of the phenomena. SAPI is interested in locating and identifying key elements that contribute to the presence/existence of life after-death activity and related fields. It is SAPI’s commitment to ensure that each case reflects a solid degree of continuity and dedication so that our results/findings are consistent, obtained under scientific/Psychic methodologies, and in compliance with ethical and professional standards of conduct. As a serious organization and with a firm structural foundation in science and Psychical resources, we acknowledge the importance of establishing a correlation between past events with paranormal occurrences manifesting in present day, and determine whether the phenomena is derived from a psychological ability (RSPK/TK/etc.) or from an after-life manifestation. SAPI is determined NOT only to proof, beyond reasonable doubt, the existence of afterlife activity, but to also study the state of consciousness of a spiritual being, as well as their behavior. SAPI embraces the ideology that, once a transparent understanding of the phenomena is achieved, a system of direct communication is plausible; for the benefit of research and for the growth of our human awareness.
San Antonio Paranormal Investigations remains as an independent organization with no association/affiliation with other groups, institutes, organizations, societies, etc., in the paranormal field. We operate strictly on the principles of Research, Documentation, Study, Education, the Client's concerns, and under SAPI's Rules and Protocols - these measures guarantee the Client's Right to Privacy.

Thomas Alva Edison
We all know that Edison was considered the Father of Invention. Nobody can question the fact that he was a genius, ahead of his time. He believed that he could build ANYTHING as long as he had the proper equipment and parts to do it. And he proved it, the light bulb, the motion picture camera, the phonograph have all been fully integrated into our lives.
Edison shaped a lot of our lives in a lot of ways, but what a lot of people don't realize that he was also a pioneer in paranormal studies. In 1920, after the First World War, a lot of people found religion. It could have been because of all their loved ones lost in the war,

but for whatever reason, many people returned to their spiritual roots. Edison, who had always been agnostic didn't agree nor disagree with any religious teachings. His theory was purely scientific. The idea was that when a person died, although the body decayed, the intelligence that it possessed lived. With those beliefs, he attempted to take it a step further. In 1920 many magazines wrote article after article about Edison and his new project, a machine to communicate with the dead! That idea might sound ridiculous to you, but put yourself in that time. This man just recently created recorded sound, movies, and he gave the world artificial light! He was like Superman! Of course, I'm exaggerating a little, but not much. After all that, in the eyes of the world, he could do no wrong, and very few people doubted that he could do it.
He wrote, “If our personality survives, then it is strictly logical or scientific to assume that it retains memory, intellect, other faculties, and knowledge that we acquire on this Earth. Therefore it might be possible to construct an apparatus which will be so delicate, that if there are personalities in another existence or sphere who wish to get in touch with us in this existence or sphere, this apparatus will at least give them a better opportunity to express themselves than the tilting tables and raps and Ouija boards and mediums and the other crude methods now purported to be the only means of communication."

Carl Gustav Jung (1875 - 1961)
(A Believer in the Paranormal)
Carl Jung was born in Kesswil, Switzerland to Johann Paul Achilles Jung and Emilie Preiswerk on July 26, 1875 (Infoplease, 2005). Carl was named after his paternal grandfather who was a surgeon at Basel. His father, Johann, was a Protestant Clergyman who had difficulties with his spiritual life when Emilie’s health declined. Carl and his father rarely saw eye-to-eye on most issues. Emilie suffered from poor health in her later years and was described by Carl as distant emotionally (Frostburg).
As a young child Carl, too, suffered from fragile health. He spent much time studying at home under watchful care. In grade school, he found practically no friends and was relatively disliked (Jung, 2005). Despite this, however, it was recognized that he had “a vivid imagination.”(Jung, 2005, p. 1) Later in grade school, Carl began to suffer from fainting spells from reading (Biography, 2005). He continued to read despite this handicap and eventually grew out of it. After high school, Carl went on to become a medical student at Basel, which his family ties probably dictated. One year into college, his father died and Carl was left to explore other fields of interest. He became interested in parapsychology and wrote his first publication on occult phenomena. Carl graduated from Basel in 1900.

Is it Possible to Measure the Soul or Spirit?
Would you let someone weigh your body before physical departure and after being clinically and medically dead? Well, five people did in the early 1900's. In one very limited 1907 study, researcher Duncan McDougall attempted to measure the soul by weighing five patients, as they died one by one. In two of the patients, there was a sudden weight loss of a half-ounce, followed by another sudden one-ounce weight loss within three minutes of time of death. A third patient's weight fluctuated just after death, first dropping a bit, followed by an abrupt large weight gain, then another loss. There was no discernable change on the other patients. Needless to say, the results were inconclusive.
