What makes this site so different from all the other places out there with information about the Sallie House haunting?
This is the only place you will get comprehensive first hand information straight from the Pickman’s concerning the experiences and facts. Here you will also get the most extensive investigation reports as well as evidence available from the numerous investigations that have been done to date not only by the Kansas Paranormal Group but also by others as they make their material available.
What sort of credibility does the evidence on this site hold?
Currently, we can only attest to the authenticity of evidence provided by the Pickman’s and Renae Leiker and KPG members (through June of 07'). We do however we make every effort to assure that the material and evidence submitted by other groups and individuals is valid prior to giving it a suitable home on the main site. Theories, experiences and evidence however, will be discussed in the forum without prior scrutiny by site staff for its authenticity. This will allow an open view and discussion of all possibilities until such time that each member, on his own, decides if what is being presented is factual, valid and authentic.
