GHOSTS TODAY

Whether you believe in the world of the spirits or not, the belief in ghosts has jumped quite a bit since 2005. Today, with so many TV shows and movies featuring true belief in ghosts, many skeptics have become believers or at least are more open to the idea that something may very well be out there.

When Spiritualism was big in the 1800s, it was focused on mediums, psychic impressions, and entertainment. Not a lot of science was involved. But there were groups researching the paranormal phenomena, including Harry Price, Thomas Edison, or even London’s Ghost Club, which was founded in 1862 along with Society for Psychical Research (SPR).

Now we tend to find the complete opposite, where most people want to find a scientific answer to what seems to be occurring at haunted sites. Every day new tools are developed in hopes of offering a new view into some of the strange happenings. With EMF detectors, recorders, and cameras in hand, the ghost hunter treks to hundreds of haunted sites in search for the unknown. Will their hard work and efforts pay off?

The truth will be found.
