SPIRIT Seekers was recently asked address a group of students at
 Cabot Junior High School, who had chosen the study of ghost hunting as a science class project. The students had been studying ghost hunting and attempting to apply a scientific approach to the gathering of data.

We conducted Lab for the class on April 5, 2007, where  we introduced them to our methods of gathering data. The class was divided into teams and each investigator took their group out into the darkened building to learn hands-on procedures of equipment usage.

The last 45 minutes was dedicated to full classroom instruction.
It was here that we taught them SPIRIT Seekers investigation procedures.
Students saw first-hand captures and how to use the computer to analyze.

Don’t think that the education was all one-sided.  The students introduced us to what they had been doing for the semester and their work was very impressive.
We are looking forward to having a well-trained group of young adults enter the ranks of paranormal research in the very near future.
