The Emerald Valley Paranormal Cadet (EVPC) group was founded in 2007 along
side the Emerald Valley Paranormal (EVP) parent group. EVP and EVPC found
that there were a lot of teenagers in our area that either had experiences
they couldn't explain like ourselves, or they were just interested in the
paranormal in and of itself. The parent group decided that instead of
explaining it all away, they would be truthful and educate us and them in
a responsible manner. Thus, the cadet group was born.
EVPC found the answers to our
questions through scientific investigating, research, and some basic
common sense. We discovered that the paranormal world was to be greatly
respected, but it wasn't something we had to live in fear of.
EVPC does roughly 4 major investigations a year with monthly training
session in between. We also work hand- in- hand with the parent group
going over the evidence they collect on their investigations. This gives
us the chance to learn all aspects of the process as well as keeping the
parent group up to date on our progress and keying them in to where we
might need more training.
EVPC uses the same equipment that the parent group uses. We do not
use anything that has not been pre approved by the parent group. Our
investigations usually last until 11pm and the parent group is always with
us to offer assistance, keep us safe, and get us out of the investigation
area if things become a little too heated. EVPC is NOT
allowed to provoke in any way. We are NOT allowed to ask a
presence to touch us or interact with us physically. Every member has a
key job to perform and they are trained in that role as well as others.
EVPC will only investigate a location that the parent group has
investigated and considers safe. We do not do cold investigations which
means we do not go to a location that has never been set foot on. EVPC
consist of a leader, investigators, and a parent group member. The parent
group member is not there to investigate, they are there to document the
cadets only while offering instruction and assistance if needed.

A new member will
only be allowed on an investigation AFTER the parent group has met and
interviewed the cadet and their parents, the proper paperwork has been
filled out and the cadet has gone through the proper training.
Cadet
enrollment does not mean Parent enrollment.
EVP and EVPC are two
separate
teams.
