Former SPI team members, Brian and Shannon, have embarked on an exciting new chapter, forming their own team, YOLO Paraventures. While no longer with SPI, they remain close to our hearts and continue their passion for the paranormal with a focus on investigations in Western Michigan. We wish them continued success on their journey.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our former team members who have retired from the Scientific Paranormal Investigations of Michigan. Their dedication, curiosity, and countless hours of work helped shape our team and further our mission to explore the unknown through a scientific lens. Though they've stepped away from active investigations, their legacy remains a vital part of who we are—and we're grateful that they continue to make themselves available when needed. We wish them all the best in this new chapter and thank them for their lasting impact on our journey.
