Spirit of the Appalachians Paranormal Research Society (SAPRS) is a paranormal research society dedicated to the objective, if not scientific research of the paranormal. We are located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Burnsville\Bakersville\Spruce Pine, NC area which of course is part of the Southern Appalachian mountain range. Our secondary mission is the preservation of history. P
ersonal and often times cultural history is lost as people die and families are not made aware how their loved ones and former generations lived and worked. Therefore we make every effort to document and record personal history, family stories, and ghost stories from every person we interview so those pieces of history are not lost. We do not claim to know all there is to know about the paranormal or the research of it. There is much yet to learn but we hope with open minds and solid evidence gathering techniques we can contribute to the discipline of paranormal investigation and hopefully contribute to the efforts of those who came before us and to those who's efforts have yet to come, in attempting to understand some of the worlds unanswered questions and journeys.
