St. Louis Paranormal Research Society is a St. Louis, Missouri–based organization that conducts guided investigations, research events, and immersive paranormal experiences at historically haunted sites.
The society offers a range of public and limited-capacity programs including necromancy sessions at the Lemp Brewery, the Lemp Haunted Neighborhood walking tour, Para-Lab research events, the Lemp Brewery Bottle Works tour, an exclusive Ouija séance, overnight investigations at the Alton YWCA, and group spirit readings with psychic medium Shannon Trump.
Events are led by experienced investigators and named experts, including Dr. Mark Farley and Shannon Trump, and blend historical research with hands-on use of standard paranormal equipment. Programs emphasize safety, documented observation, and respectful treatment of locations and artifacts. Several experiences are research-oriented—Para-Lab and the Alton overnight investigation provide documented protocols and guided equipment use—while others focus on interpretation and storytelling rooted in local history.
The society maintains limited-capacity formats for certain events to preserve intimacy and control—examples include the four-person Ouija séance and the twenty-person Alton YWCA overnight—and provides all required equipment for supervised investigations. Participants are briefed on procedures before entry and encouraged to follow site-specific rules.
As a locally based research society, the organization combines community knowledge, named investigators, and historic-site partnerships to offer verifiable, expert-led paranormal programming in St. Louis. Prospective guests can expect structured events, clear safety guidance, and opportunities to engage directly with documented investigative techniques. Booking information, schedules, and specific site instructions are posted publicly; interested visitors should review availability and event descriptions before reserving for accuracy.
