Meet Joshua Chaires

 

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Joshua Chaires. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Joshua below.

Joshua , we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.

I found my purpose of paranormal investigations by starting my own society in 2020 and started growing it from the ground up. In 2020 I noticed a lot of teams that were going by the wayside and no longer existing. I decided to start my own organization to help others going through paranormal experiences.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

Phantom Detectives is a paranormal investigation organization founded by Joshua Chaires in 2020. Chaires founded the group after leaving a previous group. He decided to start his team with a friend to revolutionize the paranormal investigating in the Philadelphia region. PDLLC is Southeastern Pennsylvania’s newest paranormal investigation team. The team conducts investigations in private homes and businesses that report paranormal activity across the country. Currently PDLLC is the using the scientific method, and various pieces of equipment to separate rational explanations from the paranormal.

Phantom Detectives LLC conducts investigations across various venues. These are from free private home investigations to more robust guided investigations with the public. At this time the group plans to provide public education sessions free of charge for their supporters. This will be in order to expand the dialogue of the paranormal with a larger audience. In the future Phantom Detectives LLC plan to conduct free information sessions at libraries all over Pennsylvania. During these sessions PDLLC will be go over past evidence, how they conduct investigations, and how they reveal evidence to their clients. Phantom Detectives LLC will be making numerous trips across the United States to perform investigations at some of America’s most notorious haunted locations. Dream locations such as Waverly Hills Sanitarium, The Winchester House in San Jose, and the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA are some of their dream places to investigate. This will be done to satisfy the ghost hunter within each of their members. Dr. Hans Holzer is one of their major inspirations. Most importantly PDLLC wants to apply the scientific rigor to places that have become shrouded in mystery. The group was formed with the intention to bring more rigor/science to the field of paranormal research. With an almost obsessive attention to detail and controlled environments PDLLC has been able to provide a much more scientific approach for their clients.

Professional, Scientific, and Free.

They look forward to serving the Southeastern, PA area for years to come.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

For me it would be research reading every book that you can on the paranormal to educate yourself on the subject, reliability making sure your team is there to help every client, and persistence doing your best to work hard. My best advice to start doing paranormal investigations is to find paranormal teams in your area, attend public investigations, and buy a basic paranormal investigation kit from GhostStop.com. Attending public investigations is a great way to meet like minded people who are interested in life after death like yourself.

Awesome, really appreciate you opening up with us today and before we close maybe you can share a book recommendation with us. Has there been a book that’s been impactful in your growth and development?

I think the book that really got my interest in the paranormal was Han Holzer’s The Supernatural Explaining the Unexplained. It is a book about separating fact from fiction with rational explanations for the paranormal. After reading many of Dr. Holzer’s books some of the most valuable insights were to never believe every clients claims of activity. Most importantly use the scientific method of developing a hypothesis, testing it, and see if you get any results to draw conclusions from your investigation. If you capture a thermal/digital photo, pick up a voice imprinted on a recorder called E.V.P.’s, or capture something else you probably got paranormal activity. Analyzing all of your data is very time consuming but rewarding.
