The Society for Arcane Studies investigates all manner of strange and unusual phenomena. We have evaluated reports of UFOs, cryptids, cattle mutilations, troublesome spirits, possessions, and more. Our investigations include formal witness interviews, video, photo, and audio documentation, and material sample collection. The use of other specialized equipment and methods may be incorporated.

All data and evidence are scientifically evaluated and analyzed by our team. The final steps are evaluated based on the investigator’s findings. We discuss whether or not there is sufficient evidence of anomalous activity and recommendations. While we investigate scientifically, we are very conscious and respectful of the various spiritual backgrounds free of judgment and criticism.

One is a match and the other is kerosene! Heather Jane Metcalf and Makenzi Oman review their most recent investigation and discuss investigator training, energy experiments, and what to do when your witness interview gets…out of hand.

Who do we work with?: 
People who have experienced something profound in their life that they do not understand. They are looking for comfort and solace in the face of a truly mysterious world. We have investigated hauntings, UFO sightings, bigfoot encounters, crop circles, and cattle mutilations.

Qualifications and Training: 
The Society for Arcane Studies is comprised of scientists and scholars with collective backgrounds in Astronomy, Folklore, Geology, Education, Graphic Design, and Psychology. Most members hold Bachelor’s degrees or higher in their related fields. Some members have additional qualifications, such as; MUFON Field Investigator training, dousing, Curanderismo, Hypnotherapy, Demonology, and more than fifteen years of collaborative, interdisciplinary fieldwork.
 
Why we do what we do:
We want to provide meaningful understanding to people who are experiencing something truly remarkable.
 
What we want you to know:
We would like you to be fully aware of what is involved with an investigation in order to clarify your own expectations and desire for results. There are many scammers out there who are willing to take advantage of people in a vulnerable situation and we do not want to contribute to this. Therefore, we work at being transparent in our process. We strive for a mutually beneficial experience as we collect data for our research. We hope to provide peace of mind and a new understanding of our experiences.
