P.I.T. Cyprus team investigates paranormal phenomena on the island

On Cyprus, there is a unique team dedicated to studying paranormal phenomena — P.I.T. Cyprus. Its members have been visiting locations for several years where locals report unexplained sounds, movements of objects, or sudden temperature changes.

Team leader Alex Nicolaou explained that the group brings together specialists from various fields: engineers, sound technicians, camera operators, and researchers working with scientific methods. Their goal is not to find “ghosts,” but to analyze phenomena that cause fear or confusion among people.

The team uses thermal cameras, infrared cameras, geomagnetic sensors, and devices to detect electromagnetic impulses. All data are checked and cross-referenced to determine whether there is a rational explanation for what is happening.

One of the most interesting investigations involved an old guesthouse in the Paphos mountains. There, instruments recorded unexplained temperature fluctuations and sounds of footsteps, even though the building was empty. After analyzing the data, researchers concluded that some phenomena could be caused by air currents and magnetic interference.

P.I.T. Cyprus also holds public events to demonstrate how scientific methods help explain what many call “mystical.” Soon, the team plans a night investigation at an old monastery in the Famagusta area, open for residents to attend.

According to team members, interest in such investigations is growing on Cyprus. People increasingly request checks of houses and buildings where unexplained events occur. “We aim not to prove the existence of the supernatural, but to understand the nature of fear and show that even the most mysterious phenomena have explanations,” Nicolaou emphasizes.
