Before You Request an Investigation

A little documentation can make a later investigation far more useful.

You do not need to prove anything before contacting VESPER. These simple steps can help us understand what has been happening and decide how best to proceed.

Keep an activity log

Write down the date, exact or approximate time, room/location, people present, what happened, duration, and anything else that may have been occurring nearby.

Preserve originals

If you capture unusual audio, video, or photographs, keep the original files. Avoid repeatedly editing or enhancing the only copy.

Note patterns

Time of day, weather, HVAC cycles, appliances, traffic, renovations, pets, and other environmental conditions may reveal useful patterns.

Record independent accounts

If multiple people experience something, encourage each person to describe it independently before comparing stories.

Avoid forcing activity

You do not need to provoke, challenge, or repeatedly recreate an event before contacting us. Doing so can change the environment and complicate later interpretation.

Consider practical causes

If a sound, movement, electrical problem, or structural issue has an obvious professional route for evaluation, that information can be useful whether or not the case ultimately remains unexplained.

VESPER Activity Log

Use a simple record instead of relying on memory alone.

The log is designed to capture the information most useful to a later case review without asking you to interpret the cause.

When You Are Ready

Our first follow-up will be by email.

After reviewing your submission, VESPER begins with written follow-up so we can clarify details, identify obvious gaps, and determine whether a phone conversation, preliminary visit, or investigation is warranted. This also helps us focus phone time on cases that have enough information to move forward.
