  Possible Investigative Protocol
  

  I have been trying to come up with an investigative
  style for the team. Two ideas I would like to add,
  would be a variable for info on the investigation and
  variable of an outside skeptic not from the team. This
  is an experiment within itself and I would love to see
  the outcomes on both. Of course both of these can be
  added of taken out depending on the situation of the
  case/investigation itself! So, here is the
  working/likely protocol for investigative purposes.
  
  Justin Villarreal
  Founder of L.C.G.H.
  
  
  
  
  Protocol
  
  1st-
  
  Request all information possible before starting an
  investigation. This will be discussed between certain
  members in the team, unless need be for safety issues
  (whatever that may be). Lead investigator should know
  all information unless otherwise noted!
  
  2nd-
  
  1st Interview-
  Will include 1-3 members (or more if needed) from
  L.C.G.H.
  
  -1 person to conduct interview (notes and audio
  recording, also lead investigator/case manager may
  hold this position)
  
  -1 person to help with investigation on premises
  (interviewing,equipment setup and take down, possible
  documentary duties and possible skeptic)
  
  -1 person to document the interview/investigation
  (audio, photographic and video)
  
  2nd Interview (if needed)
  This would be decided if any experiences were
  uncertain or any experiences were had at all in the
  1st interview at that time before fully deciding on an
  investigation. This will include the same amount of
  people and individuals from the 1st interview unless
  there is need, for research purposes. If there were
  experiences to a certain number of members, that
  certain amount if possible, would be replaced with
  that equal number. Most likely in this manner it would
  have to be 2 because the lead investigator/case
  manager most be present at all times. Also, the 1-2
  individuals that are new would of course not be
  informed of the experiences that were had over all.
  This is to further our research for possible
  suggestive influences of the "psychic phenomenon"
  involved in the case. Tell me what you all think of
  that? We are not experts, but it doesn’t stop the
  passion for research in a phenomenon that no one
  really can explain!
  
  Otherwise we would go over evidence (if any) and noted
  experiences (if any) to come to a conclusion for full
  investigation. Sometimes (majority) there may be no
  need or schedule issues for 1st or 2nd interview to
  commence. For this reason, we must go directly into
  investigation and make conclusions to the case as we
  move along. But, 1st thing 1st, we must have as much
  information if possible about the case from client to
  conclude anything.
  
  3rd
  Investigation
  Will include 1-6? members of L.C.G.H.
  
  -Lead Investigator/case manager
  
  -2-3 members will help with all case priorities
  (interviewing, investigating (note taking), equipment
  setup & take down, possible documentary duties and
  possible skeptics)
  
  The remaining members (if any) would have the same
  duties as everyone else or specified fields such as-
  
  -Documentary Duties
  
  -Skeptics (outside of team meetings and
  investigations/unless restricted by clients request)
  
  -Mediums/Psychics (unless restricted by clients
  request)
  
  Mediums/Psychics won’t be brought in until the client
  as agreed. If agreed, they will not be used until
  either a 1st interview or 1st investigation has been
  started (unless otherwise noted). Since we are dealing
  with meta-physical aspects, we do recognize the need
  for meta-physical tools one could say. They are
  capable of acquiring certain information and are able
  to help in dealing with meta-physical theories of
  positive and negative phenomenon. If certain info is
  known to the team and client, and the mediums/psychics
  (they of course will not be given any information
  prior to investigation) hit on or add points to
  certain aspects in the investigation, this would
  greatly help this case in any aspect positive or
  negative. Always get a different perspective on
  things!
  
  Of course all of this will be determined prior to the
  investigation, based off any info relative to the
  case!
  
  Another experiment I would like to incorporate before
  or during the investigation, would be to place
  equipment (depending on amount and access to certain
  equipment) in certain spots before sending
  investigators into the environment. Let the certain
  equipment record for about an hour or so(or longer),
  then proceed to introduce investigators into the
  environment. This all depends on the single case, oh
  each case is different or should at least be handled
  that way depending on scenario. But I would eventually
  love to incorporate different ideas into the mix. This
  is science and research you know!
  
  4th
  Review of Case
  Will include all or as many members needed
  
  -Review all evidence and notes
  
  -Discuss any possible conclusions
  
  -Agree on a single Conclusion
  
  5th
  Conclusion
  Will include 1-3 members (more if needed)
  
  -Lead Investigator
  
  -1 member to help in all duties needed
  
  -1 documentary
  
  -Discuss findings and possible conclusion to case
  
  -If a banishment is requested, it would be completed
  through us by any means necessary upon the clients
  request.
  
  -We will fit any comforts necessary to conclude the
  investigation and the clients requests.
  
  -If after some time period the phenomenon does not
  cease, we will further help in any way possible to
  complete any request made by the client. Even if we
  personally as a team do nothing!
