| MISSOURI PARANORMAL RESEARCH History of the Organization |
| Paranormal Task Force (PTF) evolved from Missouri Paranormal Research (MPR). MPR was formed in 2004 by Steven LaChance as a result of an extreme haunting that he experienced in his home in Union Missouri. When he and his family were terrified by what they were encountering, it was difficult for him to find credible and knowledgeable local help that was understanding and compassionate about his situation. His goal was to assist others who were experiencing similar situations and to provide a humanistic approach, which means that attention must be provided to the healing and emotional wellbeing of the clients in addition to the paranormal assistance. Steven was the founder of MPR. Soon after, current PTF President Greg Myers joined Steven as co-administrator of Missouri Paranormal Research in 2005. After the filming of the documentary Children of the Grave, the need for the team to expand their region occurred, resulting in the name change to Paranormal Task Force. Initially, during early 2007, the team became known as PTF/MPR in order to insure that current clients and the community would realize the same professional team was active and in the transition of a name change. In late July of 2007, Steven LaChance decided to leave the team in order to devote more time to his family, as well as to pursue his writing career while still personally assisting others with extreme paranormal issues. At this time, Steven notified the team of his desire to do such as well as his wish that the team continue his vision. He gave his blessing and graciously transferred all rights to Missouri Paranormal Research to the remaining administration of PTF/MPR. (to see Steven's Farewell Emails - click here) this was sent to all team members as well as communicated to the public. Although the team members were sad to see Steven depart, all wished Steven the best in his future endeavors and continued the organization he began. MPR became officially known only as Paranormal Task Force in the fall of 2007. The team has continued to grow over the years to include participation in future documentaries, TV appearances, and most important of all, continuing to assist clients with their paranormal experiences in their homes and businesses. Educating the public, providing assistance in raising funds for historical preservation, and continuing the research of the paranormal has remained the primary focus areas of PTF. As you can see, Paranormal Task Force has a long history of assisting the public. All of which grew from the efforts of Steven LaChance. Out of the terror his family experienced in Union, Missouri, came help and assistance for many others. Steven continues to assist individuals who are experiencing extreme haunting situation throughout the nation. We continue to thank Mr. LaChance for all his contributions to this team, from his founding of MPR as well as his continued support of PTF efforts. We continue to wish him the best. He has authored three books and continues to be a contributing author of short stories in many other publications.

Although there was a change in name, Paranormal Task Force evolved from Missouri Paranormal Research which includes all past investigations and actions of MPR. To this day, Paranormal Task Force retains the rights and ownership of the Missouri Paranormal Research name and continues the efforts of assisting individuals with their paranormal experiences, as requested by Steven at the time of his departure from the team. |
