Ghost Hunters Investigate Historic Sites Across States
Historic sites across the South and Mid-Atlantic are drawing interest from ghost hunters, including Alabama’s Arlington Antebellum Home and Swift-Coles Historic Home, where tour groups investigate reported apparitions using paranormal equipment. Southern Ghost Girls Tours organizes investigations at historic venues, while South Jersey Ghost Research offers free, year-round investigations and public lectures for people concerned about possible hauntings. Participants and investigators describe unexplained experiences and aim to explore or resolve them, though their accounts are personal claims rather than verified evidence of paranormal activity. A visitor to West Virginia’s Lake Shawnee, by contrast, recounts an unsettling overnight ghost hunt and warns others against seeking paranormal encounters, even while acknowledging that visitor fees help preserve the historic site.
