Make no mistake; psychic researchers are not about gazing into crystal balls or reading the tarot anymore. They are all about data compilation and employing standardized procedures to gather that data.

There is a network of loosely affiliated organizations around the world that gather evidence of an afterlife and correlate the data to identify patterns and quantifiable facts. If in the process they sometimes seem to be discarding evidence that at one time would have been saved and evaluated, it is only in the name of being scrupulous and thorough.

Organizations have the means to communicate quickly over the Internet. Groups can and do share evidence they have gathered during an investigation and receive input on the analysis of it. Digital files stream over servers and vast quantities of data are analyzed by many sets of eyes and ears, virtually simultaneously.

Such collaborations are usually productive, but occasionally friction over analyses or methodology will drive a wedge between groups.

TAPS is a good example of such collaborations. On its website, it lists its affiliates, which are called “TAPS Family Members,” in areas all over the United States. The website says the criteria for being a TAPS Family Member are quite stringent.
