Organizer Kerry Eble-Keller announced that the G4 ghost hunting summit has been canceled. Over 500 people made reservations to attend this event, which was to be held in Gettysburg in June. The Gettysburg National Military Park’s policy against commercial ghost hunting and large-scale events was the prime reason for the cancellation. Eble-Keller couldn’t get the necessary permit to hold the event because the summit violated the park’s preservation policy.

The second reason was the lack of accommodations for the guests. Eble-Keller tried to find other places in Gettysburg and Hanover that were open to paranormal investigation without success. In the end, he had to email the attendees with the bad news.

The 2007 Ghost Hunter’s Getaway Conference will take place on November 3rd and 4th, 2007 at the college campusof Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA. Attendees can attend workshops, ghost tours and live paranormal investigations at Bellingham’s local haunt spots. For more information about the conference, please visit the AGHOST website.

Dr. Ciaran O’Keefe of Living TV’s Most Haunted plans to conduct an experiment to see if low-frequency noises are responsible for the paranormal activity in Mary King’s Close. This experiment will be one of the highlights of Edinburgh’s 2007 Ghost Fest, which is scheduled to take place from May 11 - 20.

O’Keefe and his team will lay pipes around the underground close, which will emit less than 20Hz of infrasound, which barely brushes the human perception. Then he will invite individuals from the public in for a brief tour in order to see exactly where they experience the most paranormal activity. If they experience more activity around the areas where the pipes are located, this may prove his theory that hums are responsible for the hauntings that people have experienced.

“Low frequency sound is legendary – from military weapons to the tiger’s roar and now to haunted houses,” said O’Keefe. “This event hopes to uncover some of the truth behind the legends.”
