Mary Scartino’s journey in paranormal research began in 1976 when she took the helm of the New Zealand Paranormal Research department. Her passion for uncovering the mysteries of the unknown led her to investigate countless cases, ranging from ghost sightings to unexplained phenomena. Under her leadership, the department became a respected authority in the field, known for its rigorous methodologies and commitment to scientific inquiry. Mary’s dedication to the craft has inspired many aspiring researchers to follow in her footsteps.
After the disbandment of the New Zealand Paranormal Research department, Mary founded the Scartino Research Institute to continue her work. The institute has since become a beacon for those interested in paranormal studies, attracting researchers and enthusiasts from around the globe. Mary’s vision for the institute is rooted in her belief that understanding the paranormal can lead to greater insights about human experience and consciousness. Her legacy is not just in the cases she investigated but in the community she built around the pursuit of knowledge.
Today, Mary remains an active figure at the institute, mentoring new researchers and sharing her wealth of knowledge. Her influence is felt in every project we undertake, as we strive to uphold the standards she set during her illustrious career. The Scartino Research Institute continues to honor her legacy by pushing the boundaries of paranormal research and exploring the unknown with the same passion and rigor that Mary exemplified.
