For Immediate Release

"New IR Flashlight Captures Attention of Paranormal Community"

Surprise, Arizona, March 2, 2008 - The paranormal community is taking interest in a new piece of equipment designed to assist with gathering evidence during investigations.

According to Bryan Abel, the inventor of the IR (Infrared) flashlight (see picture above), "this flashlight is a must for shooting night video or photography; the combination of IR technology and flashlight make it great to add just enough light in a room or shoot down a long hallway so that the field investigators can increase their chances of catching movement."

Features of the flashlight include the following:

1. Three power settings: one LED, three LEDs, or all six LEDs. Each leg holds three AA batteries for a minimum of three and a maximum of nine batteries. The more batteries, the longer the usage time.
2. The maximum usage is approximately 12 to 80+ hours depending on what setting you are using and how many batteries you have installed.
3. A red low power LED indicator that will flash when the batteries need to be replaced.
4. The three legs fold in together for easy handheld operation, or with a push of a button, they open up to the tripod position as shown.
5. The head pivots for multiple angles from straight up to a slightly down position.

Ghost Adventures lead investigator, and founder of GAC, Zak Bagans, is purchasing three to five of the new flashlights that were introduced at the recent Goldfield Hotel Live Ghost Hunt sponsored by GAC which took place in Goldfield, Nevada, on February 7 - 10. Zak will be featuring AzPrism’s new equipment in an upcoming episode.

Future investigations and group meeting

As most of you are aware I have been sending emails left, right and centre!

Our forthcoming year is set to be a busy one with some new investigations and the good old favourites.

Hopefully most of you will be able to attend the next group meeting so we can discuss where the group is going over the next few months.

Paranormal Gear - Sony H9 Cybershot Digital Camera

My latest toy is the Sony H9. It is an 8.1 mega pixel digital camera but the best bit? It has full night shot mode - the same that you find on Sony's excellent camcorder range.

The camera takes photos in zero light so no more shouting 'Flash' just before you click the button. The images still have the same green tinge th

at you find on the camcorders.

I have yet to use it on an investigation but will post images on here as soon 

as I do.

The Ancient Ram Inn

Interest in the Ram Inn has been fantastic so I will be organising an investigation there over the summer months.

I will let you all know more once I speak to John end of this week.

Michelham Priory Investigation

The date for this has finally been set and we only have a couple of places left. If you are interested in joining us then please head on over to the main website - www.cp-i.org.uk - and send me an email.

Blog change

Some of you will notice that we are no using different software for the C.P.I. blog.

This was done for numerous reasons but the main one is that I will now be able to post live updates from investigations using my iPhone!

Will hopefully test this function when we visit Michelham - as long as I can get a mobile phone signal there.

C.P.I. and P.I.G.S. form alliance

Two of the leading groups in Sussex are now working more closely on investigations.

C.P.I. are well known for their spiritual approach to investigations where the P.I.G.S. focus on the scientific side of the paranormal. After being approached by Tim from the P.I.G.S. we decided that working together on certain investigations throughout the year will benefit all parties and hopefully the paranormal world.

We will still act as two separate groups but reports on joint investigations will come under the C.P.I. and P.I.G.S. umbrella.

We wish all members of the P.I.G.S. a warm welcome and we look forward to some exciting investigations in the New Year.

Look out for a new joint webpage soon!

Clapham Woods

A few of us ventured into the eerie woods of Clapham and...

...unfortunately we would've had more excitement if we had gone to a morgue. The woods were very quiet that night and we found nothing that we would say was paranormal.

We bumped into Charles Walker and his colleague Paul at the altar tree and we were then escorted to the crossroads where we called it a night.

Thanks to Steve for getting us in (and out) safely - even though the woods were quiet there was no way that I wanted to get lost in there (flashbacks to Epping Forest).

Pevensey ghost walk

Just a quick thank-you to Caz for organising the meet between paranormal groups based in Sussex. Our guide, and story teller for the night was excellent and the soup was rather good too!

Here's to the next one which will hopefully be in December.

Whilst I am here another thank-you goes to Tim (P.I.G.S.) for his own version of the tour which a few of us experienced after the others went home - I will never look at Pevensey in the same light again.
