Junior Ghost Hunters visit The Haunted Cottage
We are constantly on the lookout for the next paranormal researcher! Here, we just might have five!
These kids were here to have an experience and by the looks of things, an experience is what they had!
New Groupon promotion for The Haunted Cottage
The Haunted Cottage unveils the history and hauntings of Harpers Ferry with toursthat delve into the area’s apparitions and the origins of modern paranormal research. As one of the nation’s premier training facilities for paranormal investigation, the Cottage tactfully equips ghost hunters with the knowledge and the spools of flypaper necessary for snaring specters. Before exploring electronic voice phenomena (EVP) and test-driving electromagnetic field (EMF) meters, hunters will study up on the early days of talcum-powder-assisted ghost hunting in the on-site National Paranormal History Museum. After the two-hour tour, workshop, and ghost hunt, guests can peruse the paranormal library, housing more than 300 books chock-full of spooky tables of contents and dog-eared pages stained with Ecto-Cooler.
On the eight-hour overnight ghost hunt, brave guests will spend a night investigating the cottage while piecing together bits of haunted history. In addition to taking EMF readings and temperature tabulations, hunters will sit in on video vigils of the house’s slave quarters, bedrooms, and cellar and perform EVP experiments to record apparitions’ moanings, mutterings, and croonings of game-show themes . Just before dawn, ghost hunters can gather over complementary coffee to discuss their research findings.
- For $10, you get a grand tour, a workshop, and a ghost hunt (up to a $20 value). Children younger than 5 are free.
- For $40, you get an overnight ghost hunt (an $80 value).

Kids discover unknown EMF
Some would-be paranormal researchers came across unusual electromagnetic readings in the library on Friday night. They discovered the fluctuations in the library near the floor. We ruled out wiring since it would stop just before the floorboards and seemed to move.
Earlier they learned about electromagnetism and how some technologies generate EMF (Electro-Magnetic Fields).
Investigations as to the source are ongoing.
