Ghost Hunting Suggestions
* The building is climate controlled. AC outlets are available in some locations for equipment use. If an outlet is in use, do not unplug anything from it.
* Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes. Sandals & flip-flops not recommended.
* Each participant should carry a flashlight and it’s a good idea to have extra batteries.
