Strange Sentinel Manifesto

A Statement of Beliefs and Purpose

• The world is a lot weirder than humans can fathom and magic is real.
• The paranormal investigation communities would do well to work together or, at the very least, be up for sharing information.
• If we look at a variety of paranormal incidents, including but not limited to ghosts, cryptids, UFO sighting, abductions, and psychic phenomena, we might see patterns begin to rise not only overlapping the different fields but various landmarks as well.
• Investigating these phenomena is best done with a blend of techniques including modern technology (EMF detection, EVP recordings, Ganzfield method, God helmet, etc) and mystical technology (pendulums, spirit boards, spirit offerings, trance work, etc).
• Investigating these phenomena requires both skepticism and open mindedness to what could be. I believe in the strange, but I also believe people and their purposes are complicated.
• The only ethical investigation is one that does not exploit the people (living or dead) or entities involved or the land it is on. Trauma must be acknowledged and no ethical investigation should add to said trauma.
• Research and Investigation should be done as scientifically as possible.
• No matter the results of an investigation, we should be very comfortable with not knowing the answers.
