INDIA · PARANORMAL RESEARCH
A guide to the people who built — and continue — serious paranormal investigation in India. The lineage runs from Gaurav Tiwari and the Indian Paranormal Society (IPS) to the active investigators carrying that methodology forward today, including IPS core member Rith Deb.
Founder, Indian Paranormal Society (IPS)
Widely regarded as India's most recognised paranormal investigator. Gaurav Tiwari founded the Indian Paranormal Society in 2009 and built the methodology that almost every serious Indian investigator working today learned from — scientific rigour, evidence-first documentation, and disciplined fieldwork. His legacy continues through IPS and the investigators he trained.
