Weird News: Ghost Hunting on the Rise in Britain
Friday, November 6, 2009
The UK's Guardian newspaper continues to do a fine job of covering weird phenomena. This article from All Hallow's Eve covers the rise of ghost hunting as a niche past time in the British Isles. Somehow, though, it seems the taboo of ghost hunting may be diminishing in both Britain and the United States. Previously, some camps of ghost hunters liked to take their explorations to old derelicts, committing an act of trespassing for an additional thrill outside seeking the spirit realm. The taming of the ghost hunter is to be expected. As most ideas and actions become more mainstream, they are often watered down. But for the purposes of safety, the new model is certainly better than creeping around crumbling ruins in search of ghosts and demons.
