Ghost Hunting 101

If only they'd offer this as an elective in school. Haunted Times magazine is offering a series of seminars on hunting ghosts. "We teach people how to use their own cameras and video cameras to get results," said senior editor Christopher Moon, who conducts the seminars at various haunted hotels across the United States.

Participants attend an afternoon seminar on the technical aspects of ghost hunting, then hear about the hotel's history over dinner. After dinner, the group goes on an interactive ghost hunting trip through the hotel. This year's schedule, after the jump.
