Interesting short video of strange looking being or creature spotted in Cambridge Ontario on September 8 2007.
Is it possible that the camera caught something unusual or is it a case of mistaken interpretation? It looks to us that it may be someone in a gray hooded sweatshirt.

HRG has had a few personal setbacks this year. For those of you who are not familiar with our organization, HRG is a family run organization. Yup we are all related, so anything affecting the family will also affect the business.
We are looking forward to getting back to work, and Krystal will be back with the investigation team when our little Liam is about 6 months old. In the meantime I hope to update the site with information, emails and reports that have been sitting on my desk forever. In the meantime, best regards to all.

Wow, it feels weird typing 2007. There are all kinds of things happening in the background so the site has suffered some attention deficit. Between writing deadlines, family matters (HRG is a family business)and just plain doing catch-up, we haven't had a lot to put on the site as of yet.
We did tell you briefly about a house in Toronto that required an investigation headed by Richard Palmisano. The bottom line was that, yes there was a haunting, but it was not malicious. The problem was that a woman well up in her years was a former tenant and very particular and neat. The new tenants however, were not exactly clean people and the old girl was extremely upset about it. The problem solver was actually cleaning up the apartment.
Hopefully in the new year we will get some of our reports on line when time allows.

What a summer! School is now back and the summer is winding down to a close and allergies are abundant, keeping a few of us locked up in the house most of the time. We were approached about a private home in Toronto and Richard Palmisano, a member of our team, did a preliminary investigation for the family. They were quite frightened about what may be lurking in their home and our report will follow as soon as time allows. In the meantime we have added some new links and reader's views to our pages. Remember kids, play safe!

Please note that our address has changed, so update your bookmarks. You can still get to this site with the old addy for the next week or so, however the new addy is:
We have been working on a pub in Peterborough called 'Clancy's Red Dog'. We have received reports on this particular bar before as well as a few others in town, however the manager called us to look into their location to see if the numerous reports have any substance. To date we have not found any tangible evidence, however we feel that there is one spirit on the premises. Please note that we are still trying to capture any evidence to give credence to our 'feeling' of the site. Our report will follow in due course.
June 6 2006
We are looking forward to the summer and the work ahead although we seem to be constantly behind. We have a few things in the works and may even get back to a few old places just to see if there are any changes. We still get mail about the Ghost Road light, even though there is nothing paranormal about it. The tendency to believe in something so adamantly, despite proof to the contrary has led us to studying other paranormal stories that have grown out of proportion simply because of a strong belief to deny the obvious. Our report on an alleged haunted road in Bobcaygeon is one such story. A location may be creepy; it may be scary; however that does not instantly mean 'haunted'. Got a place in mind that you think may be haunted in the areas of Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes and Northumberland Counties? Let us know and we'll try and dig to the bottom for the truth. Don't forget the location has to be accessible legally. (We do not trespass, even on an empty lot) or permission obtainable from the owner should the location be privately owned.
April 7 2006
We have always maintained a policy with respect to privacy and for that specific reason you will never find an actual street address/location of any private home we have investigated amongst our reports. We have, although not giving specific locations in most cases, named well known public sites with the deluded hope that those interested in the paranormal would have respect for such locations. We have once again, however, been notified and made aware of vandalism and destruction at another location we have investigated. It was not long ago that we completely deleted a report from this site as a result of vandalism.
Since the last occurrence, we have started to omit actual location and site names. The only reason we specifically named the Guild Inn with respect to our last investigation (which we were not going to do) was because we were told two Toronto newspapers would be in attendance, so our thoughts were that the location would be known regardless of whether or not we named it, so we might as well identify where we were.
Well we are sad to report that break-ins and vandalism at the Guild Inn in the last two weeks have sky-rocketed and the security staff and police have been kept quite busy. There has been blatant disrespect for the property and the law.
So that brings us to a new company policy. We will no longer name our locations with respect to future investigations that we publish, be they public or well known. Any photos taken and posted for a report will be taken in such a way as to disguise the location. We have documented data on quite a few new investigations that we have quietly done over the past year that will not be published on this site at all. Unfortunately it takes only a few to ruin it for the majority.
March 31 2006
Our visit to the Guild Inn on March 25 2006 is now up on site. Information on the plans with respect to the Guild Inn are also available. A reprint of the Toronto Star article has been included.
March 27 2006
Watch for us and the Searcher Group (of which we are a part) in the Toronto Star on March 30 2006. There will be information about the NEW Guild Inn on the site once we have received all the information.
March 15 2006
We have updated the Reader's View page. If you have a comment or story, drop us a line. We are still retuning the site and hope to be finished soon.
March 4 2006
We have reviewed and edited our links page. Many of the sites no longer exist or in some cases we found no reciprocal link. If you wish to link with us, please contact us at hauntingsresearch@msn.com
We have just completed a preliminary investigation at an historical site in Southern Ontario and will have a report up shortly. The location of the investigation will not be published however due to an agreement with the property owners.
February 25 2006
We are back. You'll have to forgive us for the next couple of weeks, as the site is being shuffled around and updated. We have a few investigations on the books at present and are happy to announce that we have been granted permission to investigate a few well known historical sites. More on that later once we have completed same. We have been working for the past 2 years on a private residence which we are wrapping up at present and will be featured in the future. We are extremely busy compiling mounds and mounds of data, that will take some time to wade through. In the meantime we'll update as we can.

Mt. Zion ~ It has been brought to our attention by the custodians of Mt. Zion Community Centre that there has been a great deal of vandalism on the property. Not only was the community center broken into, it was also ransacked and a great deal of damage was done. Windows were broken and have had to be replaced and the police are now investigating and looking for those responsible.
We do not condone this kind of behavior and disrespect. This community center is a quiet, beautiful and historical building and this kind of behavior is not only unacceptable but illegal. Be aware that this is PRIVATE PROPERTY and will be patrolled on a regular basis by the Durham Regional Police. Anyone found on the property will be charged with trespassing and be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
If you have any information about the break-ins, please notify Durham Regional Police or write to us and we will pass on the information. Help the community centre find who is responsible for this blatant disrespect for the law.

At this stage we are merrily rolling along and keeping busy. One particular investigation which was conducted at the end of July was full of surprises. In fact as we were watching an infrared camera on a monitor, amazingly we were seeing something entirely different than what the camera was actually monitoring. We could physically see what the camera was pointed at, however we were not seeing that on the monitor screen. Whatever was present had made the decision that we were to see something entirely different.
We have just been informed by our sponsor that we will be doing an in depth investigation in Europe next summer (2005). Although we can't expose any details about the site being investigated, you will have an opportunity to see the footage yourselves possibly in the winter or spring of 2006. In the meantime there are smaller projects being worked on that are revealing some very interesting aspects of paranormal research. We are doing an investigation near the end of September that we may possibly be allowed to share with you.
Our contract which was to expire at the end of April 2005, has now been extended indefinately, which means not a lot will be going on with the site for now.
July 30 2004
Well the deed is done. HRG will be semi-retired until April 2005 which is when our contract is up. After that we will probably be back in full swing. The sad part about the new job is that we can't talk much about it, except to say that we will have access to all kinds of new things.
While in negotiations we never actually thought this would pan out and really didn't think it was going anywhere, however we received a very surprising phone call out of the blue telling us that all was set. So... here we go. !
As mentioned previously, HRG will still be accepting e-mail and will continue to make the site available to our readers, however although we will not be reporting any new investigations on the site, we will periodically write the odd editorial or catch you up on news with respect to research we can share through the new job.
July 4 2004
After much consideration and soul searching there is a good posibility that the HRG site will be semi - retired. Anita and I have been handed a confidential offer that we will have a hard time refusing. Unfortunately we cannot go into details at the moment until negotiations are completed with the sponsor.
