PARANORMAL PUZZLE
The Paranormal Puzzle research approach was developed by Uini Research leaders, John Griffin II and his late brother, Jeremy Griffin. It can be described as a systematic method of research of paranormal phenomena that focuses on identifying patterns across multiple sources of evidence and assembling them like pieces of a puzzle. Rather than asking whether a single photo, EVP, apparition sighting, or personal experience proves the paranormal, this approach asks a different question:
"What larger pattern emerges when all the pieces are viewed together?"
This approach goes beyond just the spiritual or other paranormal evidence. Uini Research will look for parts of the answer (pieces of the puzzle) in other categories such as Biology, Animal Behavior and more.
This website not only provides educational content to learn about the Paranormal Puzzle approach, but also allows for members to become directly involved in the puzzle solving and the unfolding story itself. This won't be done just through the website though. There will be Paranormal Puzzle events and more books that will help many become part of the experience, gain new knowledge and skills along with being a part of the story.
The Uini Research team believes everyone has a piece of the Paranormal Puzzle and by working together, we can begin to put the pieces together to see a much more clear picture of, not just the paranormal, but life itself.
UINI RESEARCH
Uini Research (Pronounced "YOU-N-I Research) was founded by John Griffin II in August of 2011 and is based out of Colonie, New York. This team focuses primarily on research and experiments to better understand the physics of spiritual activity and the understanding of other categories within the supernatural spectrum. Uini Research does not typically do residential cases but may assist if a request is submitted.
This team is most known for their outside the box thinking, educational and kindhearted approach to the paranormal as well as helping others who are in need. Uini Research has assisted with raising over $10,000 for the American Red Cross and supporting the efforts of many haunted restoration projects. The team does not focus on following "the crowd" when it comes to research and decision making. Understanding different aspects of the paranormal and finding facts is something the team prides itself in. The focus is the truth no matter what the truth is or how uncomfortable it may be.
Additionally, Uini Research had caught the attention of a New York State University at Albany Professor, Dr. John Foldy. He had learned that the Uini Research team, using the Paranormal Puzzle research approach, had predicted where certain types of paranormal activity would occur at a haunted location with over 80% accuracy before they even started researching at the place. Uini Research was asked by Dr. John Foldy to work with him on his theory called, "The Primacy Model of Consciousness". The team assisted with collecting data for him until his unfortunate passing.
As the team's name implies, our focus is working with other of diverse backgrounds. We believe that everyone has a piece to the paranormal puzzle. Our team is known for its open-mindedness and are very data driven. Uini Research team members are taught to put their beliefs aside during research sessions and to remain neutral on all topics until all the facts are presented.
