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.  San Antonio Paranormal Investigations conducts extensive research in regards to the continuation of human consciousness after physical departure.  SAPI's' philosophy is to approach a case from a scientific perspective, always attempting to locate and identify a rational realistic explanation, 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, Scientific Methodologies, and in compliance with ethical and professional standards of conduct. 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.
Our Commitment with Research With nine 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 data collected from a paranormal investigation is submitted, analyzed, and process for the better understanding of 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 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 solid structural foundation in science and Psychical resources, we acknowledge the importance of establishing a correlation between past events with paranormal occurrences that are being experienced 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; all 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. 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.

	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. Tom Ogden.
	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. For more information, please click on the following link or picture. Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)
	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. Full Article
	Based on True Events Robert Keyes and his family moved to Princeton, Massachusetts in 1751. They purchased a large tract of land, some 200 acres, on the South-Eastern slope of Wachusett Mountain. On April 14, 1755, Keyes's daughter Lucy, who was 4 years old at the time, followed her sisters to fetch some sand from Wachusett Lake. Lucy never returned from the lake. She vanished in the woods that day never to be heard from again. The towns-people made every effort to find the girl. Search parties combed the woods, the lake was dragged, all to no avail. Martha Keyes, Lucy's mother, was pushed to the edge of insanity by her grief over losing her daughter. Every evening she searched the woods calling her daughter's name. Martha died in 1786. She never found Lucy. Several years after the deaths of both Martha and Robert Keyes, a letter was found describing, in gruesome detail, the murder of little Lucy Keyes. The letter was from Tilly Littlejohn, the Keyes's hermit-like neighbor, who was furious over a property line quarrel with Keyes. To cleanse his dying soul he admitted on his deathbed that he found the girl, Lucy, in the woods and killed her by hitting her on the head with a rock. He then stuffed her body in a hollow log and waited until nightfall to return and bury her body under an uprooted tree. Many people believe that Martha Keyes has every reason to haunt the wooded hillsides of Wachusett Mountain calling, "Lu - cy, Lu - cy", since she never learned the grim fate of her daughter. And witnesses still experience the spirits of both Martha and Lucy Keyes to this day.   Legend of Lucy Keyes                        Lucy Keyes Trailer
	The Mystery of the Lady in Blue Her name was Maria, and she was born April 2, 1602 in the town of Agreda, in Castile. She is said to have been a very beautiful woman, and a very devout one from childhood. She supposedly took a vow of chas- tity at the age of eight. In 1618 her parents converted their home to a convent and took vows as monk and nun. The next year Maria took holy orders as a nun of the Poor Clare order at the convent in Agreda. The habit of the Poor Clares, at the time, was blue. The Poor Clares were a cloistered order, never leaving the convent. She took the name of Maria de Jesus, to which was appended ‘de Agreda’ to identify her birthplace. Sister Maria was a mystic and a writer, and her works which still survive include books called The Mystical City Of God and Divine History Of The Virgin Mother Of God. Both books were written from repeated visions the abbess had. She died in Agreda on May 24, 1665, at the age of 63. Thus far we have seen the life of a not-particularly remarkable Spanish nun. Now, give a listen to Father Damian Massanet, as he writes to Don Carlos de Siguenza y Gongora, a high-ranking Spanish official in Mexico, in 1690. "While we were at the Tejas village, after we had distributed clothing to the Indians and to the governor of the Tejas, the said governor asked me one evening for a piece of blue baize to make a shroud in which to bury his mother when she died. I told him that cloth would be more suitable, and he answered that he did not want any color other than blue. I then asked him what mystery was attached to the blue color, and he said that they were very fond of that color, especially for burial clothes, because in times past they had been visited frequently by a very beautiful woman, who used to come down from the heights, dressed in blue garments, and that they wished to be like that woman. On my asking whether this had been a long time since, the governor said it had been before his time, but his mother, who was aged, had seen the woman, as had also the other old people." Father Massanet went on to say that this was certainly the Reverend Mother Maria de Jesus de Agreda, whose story was already well known.
