Background Information
A field study or vigil is not as a matter of course undertaken during the hours of darkness, for example if phenomena are reportedly taking place during the hours of
2-5 pm there would be little point in an all night vigil at the location. Each case is different and would be judged individually.
It is most important to stress that RIP (South Wales) are not “Ghostbusters”. We do not profess to rid places of the phenomena reported. Our purpose is to investigate, collate and assess reported paranormal activity. We can try to reassure people or provide a greater understanding, possibly referring them to other agencies that can assist them, be it a minister of religion, a counsellor or other suitable persons including credible and trained mediums.
RIP(South Wales) will not carry out any investigations that take place at dangerous locations or places that have no permission. no harm must come to any member of the team.
