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 offers assistance to those experiencing unexplained phenomena related to the presence of life after-death. A second opinion as to personal experiences classified as unexplained is also available. SAPI can also help with events in your home, business, etc, related to unknown phenomena. San Antonio Paranormal Investigations ("SAPI") also conducts extensive research in regards to the continuation of human consciousness after physical departure. 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 anomalous 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, and in compliance with ethical and professional standards of conduct. San Antonio Paranormal Investigations' philosophy is to approach a case from a scientific perspective, always attempting to locate and identify a rational realistic explanation, but 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 Methods) with a strong emphasis in scientific methodologies.

History

In June of 2000 Guillermo Fuentes, Director of San Antonio Paranormal Investigations ("SAPI") gave birth to the idea of founding a non-lucrative organization committed to conduct serious research into the understanding of phenomena strongly related to the existence of life after-death. The idea became reality when San Antonio Paranormal Investigations was founded in June 2003 by Guillermo Fuentes (Director & Paranormal Investigator). Ever since the creation of San Antonio Paranormal Investigations ("SAPI"), the organization  has consisted of On-Site Paranormal Investigations and consultants who potentially express interest in studying events and beliefs associated to the existence of life after-death.

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.

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.

Scrutiny Of Evidence

Brian Leffler: I am sure that most of us will agree that evidence presentation to anyone can take the development of a very thick skin. Everyone must expect to get shot down every now and then because they thought they had something but as it turns out, it was really nothing more than a piece of dust or a case of Matrixing. The problem that arises where evidence is concerned is that there are many, many groups out there that are either too excited to get that great evidence out that they don't scrutinize or they simply don't know how to scrutinize their evidence. I firmly believe that almost everyone want their evidence to be good. Of course you have some that just don't care because they "investigate" ghosts simply for the thrill of it and not for the research behind it. This leads me to believe that the latter is the case most of the time. After all, if you surf the net, you will find a majority of websites that have evidence on them that pretty much everyone agrees is bogus at best.
