Getting Started

To get started, all you need are some basic pieces of gear. We will cover these pieces in more detail later.

1. An Investigation Log
2. Audio Recorder
3. Camera
4. EMF Meter
5. Camcorder
6. Temperature Sensor

The first 3 items should be considered a necessity and the remaining items as optional.

If you were not able to get a ticket for the tours in October, fear not! More dates have been added for the rest of the year.

We are continuing to partner with the Folsom History Museum to provide these tours and greatly appreciate the support we have received from everyone. So if you want to get in on one of our tours before the end of the year

Through our partnership with the Folsom History Museum we have a special Valentines Day offer. We settle for the same Valentines Day experience every year when you can join us for an evening of celebrating love her and in the hereafter!

Northern California Amateur Paranormal Society(NORCAPS) is partnering with Folsom History Museum for a unique Valentine’s Day experience. We’ll begin with chocolates and a champagne toast in the historic Wells Fargo building, then we will make our way through Folsom’s Historic District with stories of romance from the past. At The Square, we will conduct a paranormal investigation, attempting to contact voices from the beyond.

Its almost time for the 12th annual Oregon Ghost Conference, and this year NORCAPS is a sponsor for this great conference. But not only are we a sponsor, our team members are also presenting and teaching classes! We will post more about that later, so keep watching to stay up to date on what's going on at the conference. If you are in the area please stop by our booth and say "Hi!" The conference runs March 22nd to the 24th.
