Using “spirit boxes,” pendulums, EMF meters, dowsing rods and other ghost hunting equipment, groups explored the first and second floors of the museum trying to identify spiritual activity.

“For me, it’s the volunteer aspect of it,” said Duchesne, of why they come out. “I like giving back.”

“We don’t accept anything for investigations,” added Russell. “We do it to help people. We’re helping people like the Park House and other places.”
