Client Testimonials
See what our clients and investigation guests are saying about the BRP!
Thanks to everyone on the team! This really is a great team. Never have I seen so many different personalities come together to work on something the way the BRP team has been able to do.
We have a beautiful old 22 room home full of history. At times we would hear strange noises and see strange things. The BRP put our minds to rest. They felt the activity in our home was friendly and protective of us. We will continue to live with our extended family. I now know I am not crazy for all the things I have seen and heard. The team is very nice and professional. Thank you all so very much.
The activity has almost completely stopped! The boys are beyond thrilled and so are we. I don't know what made it slow down/stop, but I hope it continues. Our thanks to you and your team for everything you did for us last weekend. It's appreciated more than you'll ever know.

Thanks for all you have done at GET INN (University Inn). The BRP has been investigating our place, GET INN, for a couple of years now. This group is top notch PROS, and we respect everything they have done for us. If you have not done so, please take a look at their site and support what they do. Good luck to the BRP and their ongoing outreach to the unknown of our world. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing you all again. Thanks again and you all be safe.
Weird bumps in the night, being touched, etc. was too much for my little ones to bear. I called the BRP and soon they were at my doorstep. Marie had this sweet, comforting look about her and I instantly relaxed. I met the crew and they were very professional, on time and courteous. They did not find anything in my home as far as paranormal goes and that was good enough for me. Even though we still have things happen my children are so much more at ease. Thank you BRP!
Hello and thank you so much for the great "adventure" at the Geiser Grand on the 12th!! We were some of the last who stayed for the investigation, and we loved EVERY single minute of the evening. We had Josh as our team leader. He was very knowledgeable and answered all any question I had. Each one of you was very professional and fun to be around. I can't wait to come investigate with your team again. I did experience some feelings I cannot explain, and Josh confirmed he felt the same presence as I did which made me feel a little better.
Thanks so much for the great time at the Geiser Grand. I know when time was up, I wasn't anywhere near calling it a night. Please let Josh and Michelle know I appreciated their help and patience with someone who had never investigating before. The things I liked: - breaking up into smaller groups - I found it less intimidating - The history and technical information your team members gave us - such a spectacular location Will definitely try to get in on future investigations.
I must admit, even as desperate for help as I am with everything going on in my home, I was really hesitant to contact a Paranormal Research group. After looking through your website, I was relieved and comfortable enough to get things checked out here at my house. It was a huge relief to see that you are all serious about helping people and keeping anonymous. I've researched into other local researchers and I'll tell you, most of them don't have their hearts in the right place. Also seems more like a "family" than a "team" and that's the kind of group I'd want to help in my situation. So, thank ya'll a lot.
