The G.R.I.M. Society

Paranormal Research & Investigation The Origin of The G.R.I.M. Society Name: In the field of the paranormal, the common reaction when someone hears the word "Grim" is to think of the Grim Reaper. It is a logical conclusion, but in this instance not quite the answer. It all started with a child. One of the founders of The G.R.I.M. Society goes by the first name Jim. He has a step-son Zachary, who had a very hard time pronouncing the letter 'J' when first learning to talk. At the time, Zachary was a fan of the children's cartoon "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy." One day Zachary realized that Jim and Grim sound very similar and since he could say "GR", he started calling him Grim. Jim's older children and his wife thought the moniker was cute, so they started using it too. From there, it was only a matter of time before everyone was calling Jim by his new nickname. When Jim decided to form a paranormal group, he and his wife brain-stormed on names for a couple of hours, but nothing felt good. When he came home from work the next day, his wife showed him the new group's name: The G.R.I.M. Society: Ghostly Research and Investigation into the Metaphysical. And, as they say, the rest is history. About Us: The G.R.I.M. Society was founded in late 2007 by James and Tamara Dourney. The G.R.I.M. Society is a small yet dedicated team of researchers operating with the mission of scientifically exploring claims of the paranormal while documenting and recording data, summarizing results and sharing collected anomalies with the community at large when possible.
