Welcome to the new blog from The Independent Investigations Group (IIG).  The IIG investigates fringe science, paranormal and extraordinary claims from a rational, scientific viewpoint, and disseminates factual information about such inquiries to the public. We are based out of CFI-Los Angeles in Southern California, and engage in many different areas of skepticism, from investigating haunted houses to testing the abilities of dowsers, healers, psychics and others with paranormal or pseudo-scientific claims. This blog is maintained by our members, and will keep you up-to-date on our own investigations, as well as providing news, links and commentary on what’s going on in the world of science and skepticism.
