'Lets hunt Ghost': Birmingham Public Library offers ghost hunting kit ahead of Halloween

ALL THAT AND MUCH MORE COMING UP AT SIX. WE’RE JUST A COUPLE DAYS AWAY FROM HALLOWEEN AND THE BIRMINGHAM PUBLIC LIBRARY OFFERING YOU A CHANCE TO CHANNEL YOUR INNER GHOSTBUSTER AS THEY’RE RENTING OUT GHOST HUNTING KITS SO YOU CAN CHECK FOR YOURSELF IF THERE ARE ANY UNWELCOME SPIRITS HANGING AROUND YOUR HOUSE. TODAY, WVTM 13 S BRYCE OSELEN PUT THE KIT TO THE TEST. DURING HALLOWEEN, MOST HAVE THEIR EYES SET ON CANDY, BUT SOME HOPE TO LAY THEIR EYES ON GHOSTS. THE BIRMINGHAM PUBLIC LIBRARY ENCOURAGES YOU TO TRY THEIR GHOST HUNTING KIT FREE OF CHARGE. SO THIS IS OUR VERY FIRST GHOST HUNTING KIT THAT THE BIRMINGHAM PUBLIC LIBRARY HAS EVER OFFERED. ONE OF OUR AVID READERS TURNED AVID GHOST HUNTERS DURING HALLOWEEN. THERE ARE PEOPLE IN BIRMINGHAM THAT TAKE THE PARANORMAL AND COMMUNICATING WITH THE SPIRITS. ON THE OTHER SIDE VERY SERIOUSLY. PUBLIC RELATIONS DIRECTOR ROY WILLIAMS SAYS THE KIT HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO CATCH SOME GHOST. STARTS OUT WITH WHAT IS CALLED AN EMF DETECTOR, AND THIS IS WHAT IF YOU TAKE IT INTO A ROOM AND YOU TURN IT ON, IT WILL DETECT WHETHER OR NOT THERE ARE ANY SPIRITS IN THE ROOM. ONCE YOU SPOT YOUR GHOST, YOU SHOULD TRY TO ENGAGE IN CONVERSATION. WE HAVE WHAT IS CALLED A SPIRIT BOX, WHICH IS, SAY, THE MOVIE GHOST. THE WHOOPI GOLDBERG CHARACTER. IT WAS SHE WAS ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH SPIRITS ON THE OTHER SIDE. WILLIAMS SAYS YOU’LL NEED PROOF TO SHOW YOU’VE CAUGHT YOUR GHOST. SO WE HAVE A VOICE RECORDER AND CHARGING CABLE, AND THIS IS BASICALLY WHERE YOU’LL BE ABLE TO RECORD IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY COMMUNICATIONS WITH SPIRITS ON THE OTHER SIDE. THE KIT ALSO INCLUDES A FLASHLIGHT AND TWO BOOKS. WILLIAMS SAYS THE LIBRARY ISN’T JUST GOOD FOR LITERATURE. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE PARANORMAL AND HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE OTHER SIDE, WE HAVE BOOKS HERE, AND WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF ACTIVITIES JUST TO HELP PEOPLE CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN IN A DIFFERENT WAY THIS YEAR.
