Hello, and welcome to“Van Alst Spirit Investigations” website.

What makes Van Alst Spirit Investigations different than other Ghost hunting organizations?

1. VSI is “Spiritually” based while other Ghost Hunting Organizations are mostly “scientifically” based.

V.S.I knows that anything of the “Spirit” cannot be “authenticated” by man. Though science has come a long way, the methods of science cannot “prove,” or “disprove,” the existence of occurrences of the Spiritual realm. Can science prove the existence of God? No. Can science authenticate the resurrection of the Son of Man? No. For the same reasons, science cannot validate things of the Spirit, including that of ghosts. All science can explain what is of the flesh. Where science ends, is where “ghosts” only begin, therefore, after over a century of scientific research, ghosts, and other things of the spirit remain, “unexplained.”

2. Purpose of Investigations

As science teaches, the objective of a ghost investigation is to “disprove” each “individual” spiritual incident as a “natural” or man-made event. Many times, this is true. Strange sounds can be anything from old houses settling, to mice or insects. Strange lights can be the cause of a simple “unnoticed” reflection. Many times, what is believed to be a ‘haunting,” is nothing more than one’s overactive imagination. V.S.I. does not investigate to “disprove,” but to bring understanding and spiritual peace to those who are in need.

3. A “Fundamental” Belief

Jesus spoke to his disciples, “Freely you have received, freely give.” (Matthew 10:8) I do not charge for my time, Advice, or investigations, however, many others do. Go to “FAQ” page for more information. Because of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the relationship between our Heavenly Father and His creations has been restored. That of the Spirit is always “one-on-one.”

4. The WORD OF GOD

Van Alst Spirit Investigations is based on the writings as stated in God's Word. Even science teaches us, to understand, one must go to the “source.” With understanding one’s health you see your “physician.” Understanding your legal rights, you see an Attorney. When seeking things concerning that of the Spirit, you seek understanding of that which “created” it.

Ghosts, hauntings, and the Afterlife occur only “after” the flesh ends. The physical body and mind are of no consequence. Ask yourself this… Can a ghost be contained and dissected in a laboratory for scientific research? Of course not. The WORD speaks about the afterlife, ghosts, and what happens after the flesh had ended. This understanding can only be given from above. From unclean spirits, to the casting out of devils, THE WORD, along with individual prayer and meditation, gives us understanding.

Job 32:8: “ But, there is a Spirit within man: and the Inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.”

This site is unlike any other “paranormal” or Ghost website on the Internet! If your looking for a website full of jumping “ghosts”, “grim reapers, “skeletons” or other graphical effects dealing with “death” for nothing more than one’s “entertainment,” then you’ve come to the “wrong” website. VSI is not here to “entertain” you.

But, if you are looking for “real” answers about ghosts, the afterlife, as well as “the Truth” in reference to the hauntings of the Spirit world, feel free to use our website.
