What Is Phenomenology
Research Professionals?
Phenomenology Research Professionals (PRP) is a research and education organization dedicated to understanding how extraordinary experiences shape human lives.
Our work explores the relationship between trauma, transformation, resilience, consciousness, and unexplained phenomena through evidence-based research and compassionate inquiry.
We believe some of life's most profound experiences deserve thoughtful exploration rather than dismissal, sensationalism, or oversimplification.
Our Mission
Our mission revolves around unraveling the intriguing correlations between paranormal experiences and post-traumatic growth. Our unique discipline enables us to fuse diverse interests into a singular passion for delving into the unknown. We're dedicated to understanding how individuals and communities undergo growth in the aftermath of trauma. By choosing us, you can embark on a journey of exploration, gaining insights into the profound understanding that positive transformations can indeed emerge from challenging experiences.
How It Began
The Research
That Inspired PRP
In 2021, Bill and Jacqi began a project about the 1967 Silver Bridge Disaster, Mothman, additional paranormal phenomena, and their lasting impact on individuals and the community. Their eighteen-month study explored the intersection of tragedy, resilience, and extraordinary experiences. The result was “Bridging the Tragedy: Silver Linings in the Mysterious Ohio River Valley,” a book featuring interviews with experiencers whose stories reveal how people can thrive after traumatic events. Today, their research continues to help individuals and communities understand how life-changing events can shape human growth and development.
