The Jersey Unique Minds Paranormal Society (JUMPS Team) is a dedicated paranormal investigation group founded in 2008 by Doug Hogate Jr. in Salem County, New Jersey. Over more than 15 years of research and fieldwork, the JUMPS Team has explored unexplained activity across the Mid-Atlantic region, including locations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland.
Driven by a passion for uncovering the truth behind reported paranormal phenomena, the JUMPS Team combines curiosity, experience, and a range of investigative techniques to explore haunted locations, interview witnesses, and document unusual occurrences. Their approach often incorporates advanced equipment such as electromagnetic field meters, night-vision cameras, and digital audio recorders to capture compelling evidence and offer insight into unexplained events.
Throughout their history, JUMPS has tackled a wide variety of cases—from eerie abandoned buildings to active business locations—with the goal of providing thoughtful, research-driven investigations. The team’s work has been featured in local news and has contributed to community events, such as ghost walks and paranormal broadcasts, further engaging the public with the mysteries they explore.
At its core, the JUMPS Team strives to approach every case with professionalism, respect for property owners, and an open yet analytical mindset. Whether investigating historic structures or documenting unexplained phenomena, JUMPS continues its mission of exploring the unseen footprints that linger in our world.
