The Central Coast Paranormal Investigators are a scientific based paranormal research team, using extreme scientific methods and techniques in our paranormal investigations, while disproving what we can and documenting what we cannot find common and physical reasons for. We feel that the use of these methods and techniques are the strongest proof for the existence of genuine paranormal activity and it is key to help us properly document and analyze our findings. Founded in 2007 by Nipomo-native Mitch Flores after having two prior experiences of his own, we have 20 years of combined experience in the field of parapsychology with only one goal in mind, to help any and all people experiencing paranormal activity regardless how far and what level of paranormal activity one might be experiencing, so families and individuals may reestablish their piece of minds.
We specialize in the investigations of including but not limited to; Demonic, Possession, Malevolent, Poltergeist, Intelligent, Ancestral and Residual. We conduct investigations at all types of locations such as; historical, businesses, residential, land/property, government, and abandoned structures. For more information regarding paranormal investigation procedures, please visit our investigations page. The Central Coast Paranormal Investigators since being founded in 2007, have conducted over 100 investigations with locations being primarily within the Central Coast of California and being private residential investigations. However, we have traveled to Arizona, Death Valley, Iowa, Kentucky and San Jose California for investigations with such historical locations as the Armargosa Opera House and Hotel, Santa Maria Inn, Point San Luis Lighthouse, San Carlos hotel, George and Dragon Pub, Lompoc chamber of Commerce, Camp Roberts, Villisca Axe Murder House, Waverly Hills Sanitorium, Bobby Mackey's Musical World and the Far Western Tavern. We do not charge for our service, donations are accepted but not expected nor required, they are only based on your own free will.
While we are believers in the paranormal, we are not psychics or mediums nor do we ask upon their services during or before our investigations; however, those services are outsourced to only Central Coast Paranormal Investigators approved resources. Team member Tom Burbank, Occult Specialist/Shaman handles most of our cases when spiritual related assistance is requested and/or required. We pride ourselves on educating the general public about the Central Coast Paranormal Investigators and what the paranormal entails. In our mission to educate the public and to encourage people to not fear the unknown, we have conducted over 12 public presentations with more to be scheduled. The Central Coast Paranormal Investigators have been featured in such media outlets as the KCOY Morning Show, KSBY News, Telegram Tribune Newspaper, Santa Maria Times Newspaper, New Times Newspaper, The Sun Newspaper, Nipomo Adobe, KVEC 920am News Talk, KJUG 98.1 F.M, Podcasts and multiple appearances on the ZTalk Radio Show.
Often times those experiencing paranormal activity wish to keep it secret out of fear of ridicule or being thought "different". Our dedicated investigators have gone through a rigorous and extensive interview process to become a Central Coast Paranormal Investigator team member and are highly trained to handle your situation disscreetly and with courtesy.
Often misunderstood, the paranormal is frequently feared without truly understanding it's nature or content. Do ghosts, strange unexplainable sounds or noises, or the paranormal in general interest you? If you believe you are experiencing any of these or other paranormal activity; if you're looking for more information regarding investigation procedures, paranormal in general, would like to request a presentation, or to file a claim... please do not hesitate to contact the Central Coast Paranormal Investigators.
Innocence abandoned as the loss for heroics elevates, with every harrowing manifestation
bewildered yet otherworldly. Immortality takes a step towards probability, engaging the
unknown in a reverberance of preconceived dialogue and unimaginable paranoia. Notoriety
signifies the emergence of prosperity residing down a path of possibilities paved with true
beauty and open doorways.
- Matt Flores, Former Investigator

I founded Central Coast Paranormal Investigators in 2007 with only one goal, to help those who are experiencing paranormal activity. I have lived on the Central Coast of California for a majority of my life. I'm a attendee of Arroyo Grande High school from '94 to '98 and later graduated from Delta continuation high school in which I earned my high school diploma. I Experienced the paranormal a few times in my life and those are the reasons that led up to me starting the Central Coast Paranormal Investigators. I realized that there was nobody on the Central Coast to help those experiencing paranormal activity in their homes or place of business so I wanted to be the first paranormal research team that somebody could turn to for help. My goal with the Central Coast Paranormal Investigators is to help any and all people experiencing paranormal activity and to find the answers to all the questions we are all looking for. That is the goal of mine and for the Central Coast Paranormal Investigators team. "Don't Fear the Unknown".
Hello, my name is Helena Leathers and I live in Santa Barbara, California. I am originally British, and recently moved to the Central Coast in 2018. I grew up in Hong Kong and attended high school there. I went to a university in England to study international business management. Now in CA, I work in digital marketing and am working towards my PhD. My interest in the paranormal stems from the severe lack of scientific evidence and attention that currently exists, as it is apparent that paranormal activity has formed a very important social construct for generations. There are no other social phenomenon that are so persistent, yet so under-explored. This belief led me to join the Central Coast Paranormal Investigators to really try to dig in, make a difference, and maybe even get some answers.
Hello my name is Rob Burr. I live in Arroyo Grande California. I am a member of a gold club and I take part in Renaissance Fairs. I serve the Central Coast Paranormal Investigators as a Investigator and Evidence Analysis; I had my first paranormal experience at 10 years old when something unexplainable followed my father home from work one day. It stayed with us until we asked it to leave and that experience led me to research anything I could about the paranormal and spiritual studies. In my lifetime I have lived in two places and I have worked in three places that had various forms of paranormal activity.
My name is Micah Watkins
For many years I only spoke of paranormal experiences with family and very close friends. Since childhood I have had many unexplainable experiences, sometimes I was alone but other times there were other people around who also witnessed the same thing. My paranormal experiences started before I was 9, and continue to this day. It has ranged from hearing footsteps, and seeing no one, to body size mist (both of those others witnessed also). My first camera was my mother's old brownie box camera, she had used when she was a teenager. I have always loved all of the arts, but there is something special about being able to capture the moment on film. My photography has been published in "Variety" and "Seventeen Magazine", and most local newspapers. My goal with the Central Coast Paranormal Investigators is to capture on film our experiences and to provide you with real genuine paranormal evidence by photography. If you have any photography request please email me at: dramaphotos@ymail.com
I was exposed to different spiritual traditions and philosophies at a young age and have dedicated my life to gaining knowledge and understanding of the occult. In my search for truth, I found myself at the feet of many spiritual teachers from Catholic Priests to Native American Shamans. All of whom contributed to my spiritual path and helped to teach the universal truths shared by all spiritual traditions. It is my goal to assist those who do not understand or fear the worlds of spirit and bring them comfort through understanding. When people feel unsafe, overwhelmed, or are living in fear, I am here to help them. "To those who do not understand the world of spirit, paranormal experiences can be terrifying. That's why I'm here, to bring comfort in a time of fear, and to be a source of light in the face of darkness."
The Central Coast Paranormal Investigators uses the latest up to date Paranormal Research equipment in each and every Paranormal investigation. Having the proper investigating equipment is vital to every paranormal investigator regardless of their experience in paranormal research. When conducting a paranormal investigation, our greatest investigative tool is our five senses. What we see, hear and feel are our most convincing evidence of genuine paranormal activity, but what is validating your experiences? What is documenting your encounter with the unknown?
Proving the existence of your paranormal experiences during an investigation relies on the equipments ability to record and serve as a backup to your findings. Without the equipment your experiences and research during paranormal investigations are just personal without any support to your findings. There is a lot of paranormal research equipment on the market today, but what equipment do you need to conduct an investigation? What equipment can I do without? Those two questions haunt every amateur paranormal investigator. Learning about the equipment will help you decide what equipment you need to conduct your style of investigating. This page is designed to educate you on the most used paranormal equipment in the field today and to give you a better understanding of the important roles each piece of equipment plays in a paranormal investigation. If you have any questions pertaining to the equipment listed on this page or equipment that is not list on this page, please contact us.
Checks the level of electromagnetic frequencies in your home or wherever activity occurs. It is believed that where the highest readings occur is a sign of Paranormal activity.
Digital voice recorder. Helps pick up ghostly, otherworldly and spiritual voices which otherwise can't be picked up by the human ear.
Allows you to get the temperature reading of a room and is well reported that an unexplained drop in a rooms base reading results in possible "cold spots" and will be much colder where theres activity or a presence then not.
Not much of an explanation here. Capture images of paranormal activity such as orbs, apparitions, or anything else that could be displayed as questionable content.
Video documentation from your point of view during investigations. Nightshot mode allows you to attach an IR light to the camera so it can record in complete darkness.
Allowing you to see when investigating a building (common sense). If you can get ahold of one with infrared and led lights it'd be a very possible upgrade to your kit. Infrared lights are known to show more black masses or spiritual forms.
Great tool for Dvr's or a laptop device. Makes you able to record any sound coming from a room in which your not occupying and send all recorded sounds to your digital voice recorders or a laptop computer.
Survey a building or room when it's not being investigated and the night vision allows you to see through all darkness. All information is recorded to a Digital Video Recorder.
Picks up anything which crosses it's path whether your in the room or not. Gives you capability to search throughout an investigation and have the comfort of knowing if something is happening in the area your not standing in or around.
Many of these are important and crucial to a group as well as the night vision cameras. Sends all evp's recorded or images on camera straight to your computer and saves all that you've encountered and recorded.
Very effective piece of equipment and all investigators want to get their hands on it. The only problem is, this is very far from inexpensive so if you can get one thats a very good addition to your investigations.
This high powered laser emits a grid of green dots useful for detecting shadows or general visual disturbances during an investigation. Set it in front of a running camera to catch potential evidence.
The B-PSB7 Spirit Box generates frequencies which, theories suggest, give entities the energy they need to be heard. It utilizes a millisecond-adjustable frequency "sweep" coupled with a synthetic noise or "white noise" distributed between frequency steps.
REM Pod uses a mini telescopic antenna to radiate its own independent magnetic field around the instrument. Four (4) colorful lights activate to indicate strength, location, and size of the energy.
