Paranologies Journey
Paranologies: A Legacy of Innovation in Paranormal Research (est 1995)
A Pioneering Journey of 25 Years
Paranologies began in 1995 as a passionate hobby fueled by a fascination with the unexplained. Through over 600 paranormal investigations, we honed our understanding of the field and the need for specialized equipment. This dedication led to the creation of over 50 original designs, not just for detection, but also for debunking claims. Each piece was meticulously crafted, combining functionality with artistic flair, resulting in truly unique tools for the paranormal researcher.
Shaping the Field
Paranologies wasn't just about creating equipment; it was about contributing to the advancement of paranormal research. Our designs weren't simply tools – they were born from experience and a commitment to both evidence gathering and critical analysis. We played a vital role in the field, not only by supplying the tools but also by lending expertise to ghost hunting shows, even to this day (in a non-profit capacity).
Challenges and Transformation
In 2020, we faced significant, unforeseen hurdles. We were forced to temporarily shut down our order system because we couldn't receive parts from China due to a halt in shipping to the U.S. because of the pandemic. Upon reopening our online webstore 7 months later, a devastating data loss occurred with the company responsible for storing our customer and order information. This event permanently wiped out all customer order data, leaving Paranologies with no way to identify past orders or reach out to affected customers. To reiterate, we had absolutely no record of who had ordered what. We actively informed customers of this situation through website bulletins and ensured that anyone who responded in a timely manner received either a refund or their product.
It's important to address some of the online discussions you might encounter about Jeromy Jones and Paranologies regarding unfulfilled orders. While accusations of "stealing money" are completely false, it's true that some customers did not receive their custom-built products. The main reason for this was the loss of order information during 2020 addressed above. Many customers either didn't visit the website for updates and to contact us promptly after months of not receiving their product, or they waited up to five years, influenced by online discussions, before reaching out – by which time it was often too late. There's no denying that some individuals did not receive their product, but after almost 15 years in business a data loss has unfortunately damaged my reputation in the paranormal field. It's also worth noting that many of those speaking ill of me have never actually ordered from Paranologies; their criticisms often stem from significant jealousy. This is because, to this day, I have engineered what I and many others genuinely believe to be the best equipment available for ghost hunting.
Furthermore, throughout our journey, we encountered businesses and individuals who blatantly copied our designs. This blatant disregard for intellectual property not only threatened our livelihood but also undermined the years of research and development embedded in each Paranologies creation. People are still attempting to profit from my designs by trying to recreate my products, especially overseas, with items like the Polterpod, Poltercom, Gyroscope, Paramid and Parascope. Their attempts to copy my artwork and some patented items are frankly laughable, yet it's deeply serious as it represents the theft of years of my innovation, and they should be ashamed. We want to emphasize that we have never authorized the use of our designs by anyone, and these unauthorized copies represent an attempt to profit off the work of a dedicated artist and researcher.
If you search online, you'll find that Paranologies was the pioneer of all the equipment on our website. If you see something that looks like, or its name sounds like, something Paranologies makes, it's a blatant copy. You simply need to look around to see that there has been no significant innovation in the paranormal equipment field since Paranologies ceased operations. Everything you encounter is merely a copy of other original equipment; there's nothing genuinely new.
A New Chapter
With a heavy heart, Paranologies made the difficult decision to officially cease operations as a business in 2020. However, the passion for innovation remains strong. We have returned to our roots, where it all began – as a dedicated hobby. Currently, we create about 25 items a month, meticulously crafted for close friends and clients. This allows us to continue exploring new designs and contributing to the field, albeit in a smaller capacity.
Looking Ahead
While we don't plan to reopen as a full-fledged business, we understand there might be continued interest in our work. If you'd like to be notified of future endeavors keep checking to see if I item begins available or please feel free to reach out to us at paranologies@yahoo.com.
Thank you for being part of our journey. We appreciate your support and understanding.
