How to go on a ghost hunt

Speakers:

Local ghost hunters group. They are everywhere. Just do a Google search, you’ll find one.

Basics:

Length – Two sessions (presentation – 1 ½ hours; ghost hunt – 2 hours)

For the ghost hunt, people will need to bring flashlights, warm clothes (if you do it after dark around Halloween), tape recorder, video recorder, and cameras.

Be prepared to address the issue of the occult. You have to have guts to do a program like this, because staff and members of community will give you grief about it. Don’t be afraid to take risks, even if you don’t buy into this stuff you have to remember that we are here to serve all walks of life, plus a little controversy at the library is always a good thing. Helps keep us on the map!

Extras:

Invite member of historical society to lead a guided tour of cemetery before the extra ghost hunt. Not only will it remind people that you aren’t introducing the occult, but its all about fun.

Marketing:

Library newsletter and website, which is all you need as people will literally come out of the woodwork to attend this program. I’ve done in four or five times, not just with seniors, but with teens too. Patrons who didn’t know the library even existed will come as if making a trek to Mecca. Be prepared to be overwhelmed.
