Ijams Nature Center to host ghost hunt

This is actually old news, but I have no doubt it will be an annual event.

From KnoxNews:  Ijams Nature Center to host ghost hunt

Get ready for a tour of South Knoxville's paranormal side Friday night when the Ijams Nature Center hosts a ghost hunt and horror film festival.
Ghost-hunting enthusiasts Jennifer and Wayne Roder will lead a tour of some of the park's reputedly haunted spots. They'll bring along some of the tools commonly seen and made popular on such television shows as "Ghost Hunters" and in such films as "Paranormal Activity."
The Roders have hunted ghosts as a pastime for more than a decade. Their haunts have included such locations as the Belleview Biltmore Hotel in Belleaire, Fla., the St. Augustine Lighthouse in Florida and the Old Jail in St. Augustine.
Demonstrations will include how to use electromagnetic frequency detectors, how to use electronic voice phenomena recorders, how to use laser grids and how to use infrared thermometers.
The tour begins at 6 p.m. Cost is $20 for Ijams members and $25 for nonmembers. Participation is limited to ages 12 and older.
Ijams will also host an indoor screening of horror movies at 7:30 p.m. after the ghost tour, in cooperation with the Knoxville Horror Film Fest. Showings will include "Poltergeist" and a selection of short films.
Food and drinks will be available. Donations will be collected at the door.
For more information or to register for either event, call 865-577-4717, extension 110.
