Beginnings
New Jersey Paranormal Research (NJPR) was formed in 2004 by Mark Johnson, springing from Johnson's own personal experiences. Johnson had moved from Los Angeles, California to New Jersey in 1999, at which time several paranormal experiences prompted him to start investigating his own home. Johnson captured several anomalies on film, which lead him to contact a local paranormal research team to conduct a professional investigation. The research team successfully collected further photographic and video evidence at Johnson's residence. Johnson was impressed with the team and their investigative techniques and joined their team until they disbanded in 2004.
Formation of NJPR
After the old group disbanded in 2004, Mark Johnson decided to form New Jersey Paranormal Research (NJPR). It was very important to Mark to create a group who's mission would be to help average people who may be experiencing paranormal activity in their private homes or businesses at absolutely no cost. Mark quickly assembled a team of professionals from all walks of life including police officers, mechanical and electrical engineers, fire fighters, and health care professionals—each of whom brought their own unique backgrounds and talents to investigating claims of the paranormal.

After a preliminary interview and meeting with a client, NJPR will perform an investigation typically lasting around four hours. The group takes a science-based approach to their investigations while utilizing a number of hi-tech devices including infra red high-definition video cameras, digital audio recorders, EMF (electromagnetic field) detectors, temperature gauges, full-spectrum digital cameras, and FLIR thermal video cameras.
During an average investigation NJPR researchers will attempt to capture evidence of paranormal activity on their equipment. At the same time, the researchers also explore every possible explanation for alleged paranormal activity to rule out misinterpretation or fasle-positive results. In many cases the researchers conducting the investigation will not experience any paranormal activity, yet when the audio and video recordings are later analyzed it is often discovered that evidence was captured. Not until all of the evidence is analyzed will the team present its findings to the client. NJPR makes every effort to authenticate their evidence collected during investigations.
NJPR Today
Today, New Jersey Paranormal Research is one of the largest paranormal research groups in the North Eastern United States. With a roster of over 20 trained researchers, NJPR currently conducts investigations throughout New Jersey, New York, Eastern Pennsylvania, and beyond. All investigations are 100% free of charge. The NJPR Website is used to feature evidence the team has collected during their investigations, profile team members, and to submit an investigation request.
