Ghost hunting stirs up images of abandoned mansions with murderous histories. For others, ghost hunting involves Spectres guarding ancient crypts. Centuries-old ghost stories around the world focus on historical records or literature. Science, religion, and academia debate their existence. Even their use by Shakespeare and other playwrights is often considered a continuation of that discussion in the midst of the Renaissance stage.

Modern Ghost Hunts

With the increase of movies and television shows going on the hunt, interest grows. Societies around the world continue developing methods of proving the existence of ghosts, spirits, and other paranormal activity. Typically, a ghost hunting team attempts to collect evidence they see as supportive of paranormal activity. Devices such as an EMF meter, digital thermometer, handheld, and static digital video cameras, audio recorders and computers are all part of a team’s toolbox.  However, they also employ traditional techniques like conducting interviews and researching the history of a site.

Of course, sceptics remain. Considered a pseudoscience by a majority of educators, academics and science writers, ghost hunting leads to noble acts. For example, some ghost hunts lead to the preservation of historical sites, the Folklore Story and the integration of known scientific tools for reaching into challenging dimensional theories. It is with a tremendous sense of discovery and enthusiasm that National Ghost Hunting Day is celebrated.

National Ghost Hunting month to kick off a season full of haunted attractions and fall festivities. They encourage enthusiasts to pursue their interests in the mysteries surrounding the supernatural and to carry on the long-held traditions of ghost hunters.  

The hunt is scheduled to begin at 20:00 (8:00 p.m.) and will run until 12:00 (12:00 a.m.) any events occurring in other time zones will be adjusting their start times so that all of the hunts will start simultaneously. When you stop the hunt is up to you and your group to decide.
Some like to do long hunts and some do some shorter hunts. And remember you have a whole month to ghost hunt so you don’t have to do everything in one night.
