I'M GOING CEMETERY. 😂🪦

At least I can see what's around me. Put me inside a dark abandoned hospital with random voices coming from empty rooms and suddenly I'm reconsidering every life choice that brought me there.

Your turn…

🛸 MORE UAP FILES JUST DROPPED…

The U.S. government has released another batch of declassified files involving Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) and this one has plenty to dig into. 👀

The September 18 release includes dozens of documents along with newly released video and audio, covering cases and government research spanning decades.

Among the material are military UAP reports, historical Project Blue Book records, the famous 1952 Tremonton film investigation, and government-funded research examining some pretty wild concepts including warp drives, wormholes, advanced propulsion and metamaterials.

Does any of this prove we're being visited by extraterrestrials?

No.

But it does give the public another look at what the government has investigated, documented and until now kept out of public view.

And apparently they're not finished. More releases are expected.

So… what do YOU think? 🛸

Government transparency finally happening—or are we still only seeing part of the story?

👻 Behind the scenes at API…

Every three months, our team gets together for training, continuing education, sharing experiences, and of, course a little team bonding.

This quarter, we dug into the science behind EF, EMF, and RF and how they relate to the equipment we use during investigations.

It's easy to see a meter light up and think, “Ghost!” 👻😂 But understanding what our equipment is actually detecting and what could be causing those readings is an important part of investigating responsibly.

The more we understand the science behind our tools, the better we are at separating the explainable from the unexplained.

And apparently we still like each other after six hours together, so we'll call this training a success. 😂

Today, we pause to remember September 11, 2001. 🇺🇲

We remember the 2,977 lives lost, the families whose lives changed forever, and the first responders who ran toward danger while everyone else was trying to escape.

We remember the courage, sacrifice, and incredible way Americans came together in the days that followed.

25 years later, we still remember their names, their stories, and the heroes who gave everything.

May we never forget. 🇺🇸

Okay, paranormal people… what are you doing? 👀

It’s 3:07 a.m. You’re sound asleep when three distinct knocks come from your bedroom door.

Not the front door.

Your. Bedroom. Door.

And you live alone. 😳

Are you opening it? Investigating from the safety of your bed? Pretending you heard absolutely nothing? 😂

Tell us what you're doing in the comments. 👇

What if your 2-year-old started telling you about the day he died?

Not a monster under the bed. Not a bad dream.

A plane crash.

James Leininger began having terrifying nightmares about being a pilot whose plane was shot down by the Japanese. Then came the details—a ship, WWII aircraft, names and memories his family believed he shouldn't have known.

His skeptical father started digging.

Eventually, that search led to a real U.S. Navy pilot named James M. Huston Jr., who was killed near Iwo Jima in 1945.

And that's where this story gets REALLY interesting. 👀

The case has been studied by researchers, challenged by skeptics, defended by other researchers—and decades later, people are still arguing over what actually happened.

Was James somehow remembering a life he had already lived?

Or is there another explanation?

Our newest API blog takes a deep dive into the strange case of James Leininger, the evidence behind the story, and the questions that still remain.

History. Adventure. Mystery.

This weekend, the API team explored the historic Donner Summit railroad tunnels, hiking nearly 4 miles through one of California's most fascinating landmarks.

Built in the 1860s as part of the first transcontinental railroad, these tunnels were carved through solid Sierra granite under some of the harshest conditions imaginable. Thousands of workers endured dangerous terrain, brutal winters, avalanches, and explosive blasting to complete a route that forever changed transportation across the United States. Many paid the ultimate price during its construction.

Today, the tunnels stand as a remarkable piece of American history and, according to countless local legends and eyewitness accounts, one of the Sierra Nevada's most intriguing paranormal locations.

Between the breathtaking mountain scenery, vibrant graffiti, and historic tunnels, our team did a couple brief investigation sessions, documenting the atmosphere and experiencing the location firsthand.

Whether you're drawn by the engineering, the history, the legends, or the possibility of the unexplained, Donner Summit is a place that leaves a lasting impression.
Have you ever explored the Donner Summit tunnels?

We'd love to hear about your experience.

Where should we explore next?

🚨 NEW BLOG POST!
We don't walk through the door with a pre-written story. 🔦

We believe the truth is more interesting than any Hollywood legend. That’s why every case starts with one rule: Keep an open mind.

Before we look for the paranormal, we look for the ordinary. From old wiring to settling foundations, we clear away the noise so we can focus on what’s truly unexplained.
