Do you have what it takes to be a paranormal investigator?

Join us at the La Plata Branch after hours for a hands-on ghost hunting experience! Participants will learn the methods used by professional paranormal researchers, including how to operate equipment such as EMF detectors, spirit boxes, dowsing rods, audio and video recorders, and trigger objects.

We’ll begin with an overview of how the tools work and best practices for conducting a respectful and thorough investigation. Then, once the library has grown dark, we’ll explore both the downstairs meeting room and the upstairs adult section, using what we’ve learned to investigate possible paranormal activity.

After the investigation, participants will rotate through stations to review audio and video recordings, analyze data, and practice techniques for documenting—or debunking—potential findings.

Please Note: This event takes place when the library is normally closed. Doors will open for the public for the event at 5:45 PM.

Accessibility Note: The investigation will take place on both levels of the building. Please be aware that the branch does not have an elevator. An accessibility ramp is available outside for entry, and stairs are located inside the building.

Recommended for ages 12 and up. Registration is required.

If you have questions, please contact the La Plata Branch at 301-934-9001 or email laplataref@ccplonline.org.
