Real Ghost Tours, Minneapolis

The paranormal experts of Real Ghost Tours guide ghost-hunters on a 90-minute romp through the historic St. Anthony Main district of Minneapolis, harnessing modern tools to scout out ghostly presences while putting on dramatic recreations of local ghosts' lives. Armed with a selection of historic and up-to-date specter-finding tools and minds more open than a roofless 24-hour convenience store, guides lead tour participants while narrating the lore and legends of local haunts and chronicling the events that left the city with a ghostly imprint. While pounding the pavement in buildings and passageways normally closed to the public, apparition seekers track their ghostly targets with high-tech EMF readers, which detect disturbances in the electromagnetic field. Guests get to partake in the paranormal investigation, learning the science of spiritual phenomena and tips for protecting linen closets from the pilfering spirits of former swimming enthusiasts.
