FAQ: Answering your Questions
Q: Is the O.S.I.R real?
A: Throughout the series run, 'Psi Factor' maintained that the organization
depicted as the Office of Scientific Investigation and Research was in fact a
real and operating organization based out of California (USA). Though, because
of the organization's need for privacy and discretion, the creators of 'Psi
Factor' claimed they changed the group's name and gave it the alias
'The O.S.I.R.'. An organization taking the name, was recently located in
California by online columnist, "Doc John" however through a telephone call
the organization wouldn't confirm or deny their link the "Psi Factor" (Note:
Doc John's website disappeared a few months after the article was published
and the O.S.I.R. phone number noted in the article has since gone unlisted).
Also, the O.S.I.R. has been listed on show creator / writer / parapsychologist,
Christopher Chacon's resume which has circulated the
internet as well as other show creator,
Peter Aykroyd.
