C.A.S.P.E.R has a number of programs and services which represent specialized events and participatory modes of engagement.  The purpose of these programs and services is the ongoing continuous reiterations and reworking of materials, with the finality of acquiring evidential data in order to develop a research design for field investigations of these multiple applications of engagement and circulating referential processes moves towards a foal, a field of possibilities and an outcome:  a haunt behavioral paradigm.

These linkages can be added together and integrated only if we respect the mediating role of all the participants in the endeavor.  One’s participation and degree of involvement in these projects is based on a concept of interactional relativity.  Each individual (be they investigator or program service solicitor) shares equally in the evolution and development of this research methodology.  Each participant’s contribution then has equal importance.

The use and application of these programs and services constitute a series of inter-connecting linkages:  it is a compositional system to an ongoing and developing research document; a discussion medium for novices, professionals, and interested parties; a depository of field data and experiences; and a tool for collaboration between researchers, investigators, and those seeking information and/or solutions to problems or questions pertaining to ghostly and haunt phenomena.          Finally these engagements will be transformed into unique combinations (such as in anthropologist and plumber; an archaeologist and actor; a psychic-medium and a folklorist) and may help to create a template of standardization for field investigation and research methodology.
