Ghost/Paranormal groups
This classification is for websites that are from groups that share similar interests as O.P.I.N. These sites are continuosly studying the paranormal world and are, in my opinion, the best of what you will find on the web. Links are posted in no particular order. Remember, this is just a sampling!
- Munroe Falls Paranormal Society
Based in Munroe Falls, Ohio. "MFPS takes a scientific approach to all types of claims of the paranormal with the intent of documenting and validating or disproving the claims of activity." - Circleville Paranormal Society

Paranormal Investigators of Central Kentucky
"The Best Paranormal Investigators of Central Kentucky. There are three main reasons that P.I.C.K. is one of Kentucky's foremost paranormal teams: experience (over six-hundred investigations), effectiveness, and practicality." - International Ghost Hunter's Society (I.G.H.S.)
Great information and also provides links to subject matter pertaining to study of ghosts, the site is very commercial in taste. This is a site to be a little wary with as it is a for profit site, listed here because it has been on the net for a long time. It also seems to be matter-of-fact, yet believe me nothing is certainty in the ghost hunting world. 99% of things you see are opinions. - Philadelphia Ghost Hunter's Alliance
