Latest and Greatest

Well hello again everyone. I must first apologize for the vast span of time which has occurred from the last post I have published here. While things have been incredibly busy, there is still a great deal of information that needs to be shared and I will be making it a point to update the blog here on a weekly basis so that everyone will be able to follow along and be kept up to date. I would also like to encourage everyone's participation in the blog. Please feel free to post your comments and thoughts here and lets see what kind of dialog we can get going here for the purpose of sharing our thoughts and opinions.


So, as I stated, there has been a lot of things going on within the Chicago Paranormal Detectives organization since I last wrote. We are currently on a hiatus with A&E after we completed filming our first 6 episodes. The series premier is going to be sometime at the end of this year so we do not have too much longer to wait for this. All of us within CPD are very excited about this and are looking forward to everyone being able to see and experience what we did on our investigations. We are all hoping that this show will not only add more credibility to this field but also offer our viewers the opportunity to see a paranormal investigation from the eyes of a police officer. You will be able to see how we approach these investigations and and the processes we use to gather any and all evidence we can with our ultimate goal being to seek answers to the questions we all have. CPD also looks to raise the bar of credibility within the arena of paranormal investigations. We make it a point to follow the same policies and procedures we all use as officers during the performance of our daily duties and in turn apply these to the paranormal investigations we go on.

I want to also take a moment to fill everyone in on the recent activities and events of CPD. As always, we at CPD are continuously looking and developing new and exciting methods of gathering evidence in order to ensure we are always collecting the most accurate and detailed evidence possible for review and analysis. We make it a point to explore all possible methods of collection pulling from our police and own personal backgrounds. The ideas and methods we develop are extensively tested in order to ensure that they will work correctly in the field and gather data without any type of outside interference to provide to us the best data possible. During this testing phase, should these ideas we develop not provide the best possible results, we either go back to the drawing board or scrap the idea completely. We at CPD will only use the methods and equipment that will provide the best possible evidence.

Our most recent events occurred this past weekend. On Saturday, Oct. 3rd, CPD attended the 2009 Chicago Ghost Conference. While at this conference, we met many new friends and supporters. We had a great time there and it was truly an awesome experience. We appreciate the encouragement and input from everyone we had the pleasure to meet. While at the conference, CPD had the opportunity to to have the A&E video teaser played for all to see. We were also honored to have the opportunity to speak to the members of the conference in order to enlighten everyone as to exactly who we are and to the methods and protocols we follow. It was a privilege to meet everyone and have this opportunity. On Sunday night, Oct. 4th, myself and the other police officers as well as Moriah were invited to be guests on Darkness Radio hosted by Dave Schrader. Collectively as a group, we spent 3 hours speaking with Dave and answering questions from his listening audience. If you would like to be able to download and listen to the podcasts from the interviews, they can be found at http://www.ktlkfm.com/cc-common/podcast/single_podcast.html?podcast=darknessradio.xml. We encourage you to give them a listen and let us know what you think. All of us at CPD would like to extend our tremendous thanks to everyone that involved with the conference and radio show. We are truly grateful!

Finally, to everyone that we met at the conference and had the opportunity to speak with, it was truly a pleasure and we had a great time hanging out with everyone. We will be sure to attend this event next year and are already looking forward to it. As I mentioned earlier, please be sure to continue to stop by here for the latest information and please feel free to throw your 2 cents in on any topics you like. We at CPD like to hear your opinions. If you should need to reach me for any suggestions, requests for the web site or any other reason, please feel free to email me at p_schleich@hotmail.com. Again, thanks to everyone for their support and kind words and we look forward to the future to catch up with old friends and the opportunity to make new ones.
