Contact:

We will treat your enquiry with respect, sensitivity, care and discretion. So please don't be reluctant to contact us. We treat every single enquiry equally and seriously because we understand how difficult it is to talk to strangers about paranormal experiences. We are not here to judge or to ridicule, but to listen and to try to help.

What We Do:

We approach paranormal investigations with a commonsense, open-minded attitude and a level-headed, scientific method. We first look for natural reasons for any reportedly supernatural phenomenon.

Many experiences of paranormal activity are caused by normal physical effects in the environment. According to Occam's Razor we should prefer the simplest explanation and not leap to conclusions about paranormal causes, which are always far more complex.

But, as Albert Einstein said:
"It is possible that there exist emanations that are still unknown to us. Do you remember how electrical currents and unseen waves were laughed at? The knowledge about man is still in its infancy."

We are open minded and good listeners, not a bunch of hardcore debunkers. We are like you - seeking explanations for the unknown events that can and do touch and affect many people's lives. We do not hold a fixed position on any paranormal phenomena. Nothing is certain or absolute in this field of investigation. More...

based in Palmerston North.

Strange Occurrences and Phoen-X, led by Clinton Lawson, cooperate on many investigations around New Zealand.


Reputedly haunted houses, buildings and other locations are meat and drink to Strange Occurrences, but we are also intrigued by Fortean phenomena, cryptozoology, UFO sightings, telepathy, telekinesis, ESP, clairvoyance, clairaudience, premonitions, extraordinary coincidences, remote seeing, out of body experiences, automatic writing and a range of other phenomena (collectively termed Psi) that defy explanation.

With two professional photographers in our team, we are very interested in photographs with possible paranormal content, photos of ghosts or other unexplained phenomena.
