Proving The Supernatural Through Paranormal Tourism

By Tammie Caldwell


Most people do not realize a love for something until having experienced it for the first time. Something that is extremely true when it comes to Paranormal Tourism. While there are a number of shows surrounding ghost hunting and movies like Ghostbusters, many do not take these type movies and shows seriously.

While based in fiction, Ghostbusters, Ghosts and other films can provide some insight into a haunting. Though, with so many individuals now working as ghost hunters, researchers and tour guides, individuals have the opportunity to explore a number of sightings. For a list ghost tours, haunted sites, hotels and other locations, a quick online search can provide a number of interesting returns.

It seems a number of ghost tours are located in areas with a great deal of history. Whether a soldier from the civil war, or a bride whom jumped to her death, there are often stories which accompany each sighting. One reason the skeptics tend to question the reality of the supernatural, especially when no backup documentation is available related to the tale associated with a haunting.

The ghost tour at the Alamo is different than many others in that the tour guides allow the tourists to use various paranormal equipment during the 90 minute tour. The equipment is most often distributed at the beginning of the tour in which the guests are allowed to tour the grounds of the Alamo in search of various responses to electromagnetic meters and other items. After which, the tour guide then takes the parties to other sites which have reported sightings.

There are also ghost tours in which the guides simply focus on the historical aspects of buildings. These tour guides may lack a fictional tale to go along with the notation of a haunting but generally tourists can sense a feeling of something supernatural. In some cases, guides go as far as to allow tourists to use ghost hunting equipment like those located at the Alamo. As the Alamo has a great deal of history and loss, it is reported to be one of the most haunted sights on the San Antonio ghost tour.

The most ghostly of the ghost tours in the United States is reported to be that of the Queen Mary, now docked in Long Beach, California. The Queen Mary has been featured on a number of ghost hunting shows and is quite well known. As many tourists have noted sightings which have been reported prior to touring the vessel, many more believe this ship to be haunted than believe in the haunting of other locations.

When it comes to haunted cities in the United States, most believe Savannah, Georgia and New Orleans, Louisiana to be the most haunted. St. Augustine, Florida being the oldest city is also rumored to have a number of ghosts residing within the city limits. Most often the ghosts in these areas are rumored to walk cemeteries, reside in bars, basements and historical mansions or roam the streets.

These well known locations often report the most sightings. Although, as spirits are reported to be lost souls of those whom have experienced a tragic death, ghosts often reside in the same place in which one lived, or died. Although, some have also been known to travel from one physical location to another.
