Talk to nearly anyone south of the Mason/Dixon line, and chances are they either know a ghost story they heard as true, or have seen a ghost themselves. There are those that believe that the south is one big melting pot of insanity. Most of our countries eccentric personalities and crazies are either from the south or live there. Some say the South is more haunted than anywhere else in the world because our capacity to believe -- a belief born of being told from an early age that the spirits of the dead are always with us. It was this odd mix of legend, myth, faith and soul that helped spawn Spirits of the South, one our country’s foremost paranormal research group. As they travel about the south in search of Casper this group of mostly blue-collar Joes and Jane’s spends their weekends seeking the truth about the afterlife for their own very personal reason.  

Striving to be as scientifically rigorous as possible, Spirits of the South uses a variety of night vision cameras, audio equipment and other devices -- purchased on the group’s shoestring budget -- in their search for evidence of the paranormal. Just as quick to debunk claims as they are to declare a place haunted, their travels sometimes put them at odds with skeptics, and often lead to places long-steeped in superstition. Though their investigations sometime result in moments of unintentional comedy, the evidence they return with is often enough to chill the blood.  

Almost as interesting as the strange photos, video and audio recordings the Spirits of the South capture, the interpersonal interactions between the ghost hunters themselves, including Chuck, the young construction worker who claims nothing but acts as if he knows everything; Dave, Spirits of the South sometimes-skeptical tech director and God’s gift to women; Diane, the gregarious, psychic and kid sister of the group; Terry, Joe Cool and scardy cat who runs from his own shadow; last and definitely not least there is Tony the old school southern connection and momma’s  boy and a larger cast of characters who all come to the search with their own goals and agendas.  

Come along as we explore things that go bump in the night with our fearful, I mean fearless troupe of young…Ghost Hunters.
