The R.I.P. Files Explore The Darkness

Research and Investigation of the Paranormal (R.I.P.), a diverse group of ghost hunters based in the nation’s capitol, will debut its new Internet TV series, “The R.I.P. Files.” on blip.tv (www.blip.tv) and Ghost Channel TV (www.ghostchannel.tv) on May 15th, 2010. The first episode features an investigation of the historic Civil War Museum at The Exchange Hotel in Gordonsville, VA. “It’s a different kind of show,” R.I.P. President Patricia Marin stated. “Our overall goal is to find a repeatable way to connect with spirit during each investigation, while collecting data that will eventually help us develop useful theories about what is actually occurring during a paranormal event.” During each episode, the group tests both a scientific and an occult methodology to determine their effectiveness as paranormal investigation tools. R.I.P. was founded and is still led by two female investigators, Patricia Marin and Lisa Linden. Along with using various types of equipment, both standard and experimental, R.I.P. also employs two mediums on its team, one of whom is a federal agent in his day job. The team describes themselves as basically skeptics who always look for logical explanations first. “We have high standards of proof that must be met before any evidence can be labeled paranormal,” explained Lisa Linden, R.I.P. Co-Founder. New episodes of “The R.I.P. Files” will be released on a monthly basis via the Internet throughout 2010. Upcoming investigations include four haunted sites in Baltimore, a two night investigation of the notorious Twin City Opera House in McConelsville, OH, a stay at a ghostly B&B in Gettysburg, and an investigation at a very active Civil War site in Frederick, MD.
