www.CVAPI.com Undergoing Upgrades
CVAPI is fortunate enough to own their own server. Currently that server is being upgraded. This will allow us to expand the website as well as incorporate some new features. We do have several video clips, EVP's and photographs to add to the site as of now. Upgrades to the site should begin later next week.

CVAPI Sponsors
CVAPI currently has two sponsors onboard with us. Patriot Auto Exchange out of Hopewell, Virginia and Sideline Cafe out of Chester, Virginia. Patriot Auto Exchange has been gracious enough to help us with new equipment, while Sideline Cafe kicked in a fundraiser for CVAPI.
CVAPI currently has some projects underway, in which one we will announce later next week. We would like to thank our sponsors in helping this team out in order to reach our goals of taking things to another level.
Sponsor information can be found on our website at www.cvapi.com under "Sponsors". If a business is not listed there, than they are NOT affiliated with CVAPI.

CVAPI Clarifications
It has come to the attention of many CVAPI member's that there are some things that need to be clarified. First, we are a team of "paranormal investigators". Notice I said, "paranormal investigators", not psychic detectives. I am the founder of CVAPI and work as a full time psychic, this does not mean that we consist of a team of psychics. Those that do not carry those abilities take great offense to this.
The objective of CVAPI has always been, and always will be, that our clients come first. With that said it means our research comes second. The investigations that you see on our websites are "portions" of our investigations. Evidence collected at a location are given to our clients in their entirety. Our clients have a copy of everything that we have in our case files, a lot of teams do not believe in this. CVAPI does not believe in withholding information. We are very grateful for our clients that have opened their homes and businesses to us, as well as discussing their paranormal concerns. We also do not believe in prejudging people and carry the belief that everyone needs to be heard.
CVAPI does NOT charge for our services. Nor do we advertise that we are a non-profit organization. For those teams that advertise as a "non-profit organization" we "assume" that means that you have a non-profit organization status filled with the IRS, otherwise it is false advertising. CVAPI owns all of our equipment. It has been paid for out of our pockets, through fundraisers and donations.
CVAPI runs by strict structure and protocol. We do not carry any "specialists" in any category. Every member brings something special to this team, as humans, they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Every member is cross trained on investigations and research, as well as they have worked hard for a position on this team. Our team consists of skeptics and believers combined.
Working as a full time psychic brings a certain amount of publicity. It has been my decision to include CVAPI in that media circle. So to answer the latest buzz by people....NO we do NOT know anyone in the media that is helping us out. CVAPI is currently working on a couple of projects that cannot be disclosed to the public anytime soon.
There are team members in our chat room every Thursday night at 9:00PM located at www.cvapi.com . They are more than willing to answer your questions on the paranormal and any questions that you may have about CVAPI. The team itself is currently full, but we do encourage that you join our Meetup group at www.meetup.com/paranormalcvapi as we do include interested members from time to time.

This Weekends Fundraiser
WHAT A BLAST! I think we all questioned what we could accomplish with a large crowd as well as if the location would produce any activity with a large crowd of people.
First we were amazed to learn that they came from Newport News, Williamsburg and Wytheville Virginia. We were all delighted to have Norfolk's Psychic Medium Examiner, Elizabeth, join us with her husband! Also, a pleasant surprise of another bar in attendance with their own personal experiences at their location.
Many captured some great photos. We had one were her camera started taking photographs for her. The K2 meter gave better activity than anytime we had ever been in that location. The restaurant itself provided a wonderful buffet of breakfast pizza, casserole, fresh fruit, with a variety of bagels and cream cheese, along with fresh coffee and orange juice.
We are very anxious to review our audio and video. We thank those that provided us with their email addresses, you will get to see first hand, what we captured there.
We thank all of you for coming and look forward to meeting with you again.

Paranormal Equipment
CVAPI carries an extensive amount of equipment. I am often asked where do we get the equipment. To be honest, it varies. There are many simple items that you can pick up at Walmart or your local hardware store. Other items have to be ordered online.
If you are just getting started, there are several items that you can pick up that will not break the bank. A flashlight is a must. I recommend a battery flashlight as well as an LED. (For some reason we do not have battery drain as often on the LED lights.) A camera, you can now purchase digital camera's for around $75. Any film camera will work as well. If you are on a budget and cannot afford an EMF meter, I would recommend a compass. You can pick these up in any camping section. They will spin the same way a EMF Meter will spike. A voice recorder, either digital or analog. I also recommend shopping the sales on the digital recorders.
For any other items I would recommend shopping online. EBay and Amazon would be a great place to shop as well as some of the online paranormal stores. However, please take the time for price comparisons before jumping into a purchase!

Share your stories with us!
We have received emails of your ghost stories and photos that you would like us to look at. Keep them coming! We do enjoy looking at your photos, but please remember we can give you but so much input. I say this because on an investigation we work in a controlled environment. So when you send us your photos send us the details. Who was in the room, if the heating and air was on, etc.
We love hearing your ghost stories! Share them here on our blog, or join our forum, you will find a link at www.cvapi.com I myself live in a very active home. Just when I think we are down to "normal" occurrences, something new will happen. It certainly keeps us on our toes!
Next week, look for an announcement from us on an upcoming fundraiser. This will be a "ghost hunt" open to the public. I can give you a hint that it will be Sunday morning August 23rd, from 3:00AM to 7:00AM, so go ahead and mark your calander!

Introduction
I wanted to start with an introductory to who I am and who is CVAPI. My name is Jackie and I work as a full time psychic under the nickname of Ms Swami. For years I performed readings on my family, friends, and coworkers as my hobby. With their encouragement, I took this hobby to a full time professional level, and honestly I love what I do.
Now what would I do for a hobby? In January of 2008, I founded Central VA Psychic Development and Paranormal Research. This is a group of willing individuals that get together for a meeting every so often where the topics are open. So many believe in ghosts, many have questions on the Tarot...in this group you can come together and ask all of these questions on the topics that you feel that you cannot discuss with your family and friends.
As soon as that group began, I started recieving requests for paranormal investigations. (For most, pyschics and the paranormal go hand in hand.) With the encouragement of my friends and my daughter, we now decided it was time to move forward with an actual paranormal team. This is how CVAPI, Central Virginia Paranormal Investigations began.
So here under Virginia is for Ghost Lovers, you will find various topics to come. Anything from ghost stories, to info on our investigations, to my rants and raves. If we can get enough followers and enough comments, I hope to have the actual team members contribute to the blog as well.
Meanwhile any ghost stories you would like to share? We would love to hear them!
