The organization was founded in July of 2004. They organized the team with a couple of friends in the United Kingdom. The thought was that 2 separate countries could join together and investigate reports of the paranormal.

Since 2004, they have conducted over 200 investigations. Their first major case was The Roff Home AKA the Watseka Wonder House in Watseka, Illinois. It is the location of the very first reported case of possession in the United States. John and Bea have traveled to the United Kingdom investigating locations in the West Midlands. In the early 90’s Bea traveled to London, England where she was able to visit the location of Stonehenge.

World Paranormal Investigations uses both scientific and spiritual methods of investigating. John is a Spiritual Medium and has helped several families. He will go into a location with no knowledge or history.

A couple of years ago, John and Bea were approached about filming a Anti-bullying PSA. John and Bea wrote the the script for the PSA. The PSA was filmed and edited by Steve Olander and the movie was submitted to Young Productions 36 and Asphyxiated Films for the movie Psychotic State. Psychotic State is about a young man that was bullied all of his life and as a grown up he quits taking his medication only to get revenge on those that tormented him as a child. The same year, John and Bea filmed the PSA they were asked to film an episode of Dead People See Me. It was for the premiere episode for The GTN TV Network.
