The Association of Paranormal Study (APS) was founded in San Diego, CA in 2011 by Alex Matsuo.

Over the years, our team has consisted of members from diverse backgrounds, including business professionals, teachers, medical students, and military personnel. First and foremost, we are a group of researchers dedicated to the study of paranormal phenomena and its relationship to history, science, folklore, sociology, and anthropology. 

Through investigation, research, and assessment, we seek to understand the nature of hauntings and try to answer the question of what we are experiencing in the field. We are also committed to creating educational experiences for people to learn more about these fields of study. This includes hosting in-person events, online webinars, and book club discussions that delve deeper into the research and theories surrounding the paranormal.

Our mission is to advance the understanding of supernatural occurrences while fostering a community of curious and open-minded individuals who share a passion for the unexplained. We welcome researchers, enthusiasts, and the simply curious to join us on this journey of discovery.
