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!

  • 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.
