The **Bythorne Paranormal Society**, formerly known as **Bythorne Paranormal Club**, is a paranormal investigation organization founded by Sarah Heathcliff in Bythorne High. Originally serving as a school club, the club was eventually reformed into an inter-county paranormal investigation organization shortly after the addition of Adam Murray from Werksha High. This organization investigates peoples' homes for a cheap amount per night in search for ghosts, as their name suggests, though it's implied that they also do investigations for possible Alternate encounters.

They are wanted by the FBI most likely for breaking the countermeasures with 6 imposed by the Department of Temporal Phenomena, as the devices used in their investigations, such as ghost boxes, have screen-based technology.

BPS has an online following managed by Sarah.

## Biography

### Volume 4

Bythorne Paranormal Society started as Bythorne Paranormal Club, a high school club from Bythorne High School made by Sarah Heathcliff. Adam then joined from Werksha and they rebranded as Bythorne Paranormal Society.

Implied through Sarah Heathcliff showing disdain for Thatcher Davis and the MCPD in general (possibly due to the death of her older brother, Mark), the Bythorne Paranormal Society was founded to oppose the United States Department of Temporal Phenomena, and the Mandela County Police Department, due to their negligence in saving victims of alternate encounters.

Investigations were originally done with Sarah Heathcliff and Adam Murray, whom would both go into the house together with various ghost hunting equipment. During one investigation in Mandela Catalogue Volume 4, however, Adam lures out alternates via audio lure. Inside of the house they were investigating, Adam had started an audio lure of various people screaming/crying in a cacophony, which attracted multiple hands that held onto the doorframes of each opened door down the hall. Sarah attested against this, and asked for Adam to stop, but Adam continued all until the camera cut to black.

Sarah had been so shaken up by the investigation that she claimed she no longer wanted to do investigations with Adam, and that he should instead "find someone else" to go with him. As a result, the Bythorne Paranormal Society opens a position, which is soon filled by a 'random stoner i found online' named Jonah Marshall.

From the point of Sarah's resignation to behind the scenes work in 2007 all the way to Mandela Catalogue Volume 2 in early 2009, Jonah Marshall and Adam Murray would do various investigations together. As of Mandela Catalogue Volume 2, Jonah and Adam no longer do investigations with each other, following an argument which led to Jonah's death, being followed home by an alternate. It is unknown whether the Bythorne Paranormal Society is still in business, or if Adam still goes on investigations, just by his lonesome.
