While ghost and ghoul costumes are everywhere Thursday on Halloween, what trick-or-treaters may not know is that North Florida is alive year-round with things that go bump in the night.
Nick Estes, founder of Gainesville Paranormal, said the ghost hunting business fluctuates during the months of October and November.
“A lot of these TV stations are running scary movie marathons throughout the month of October, and so people’s paranoia is higher,” Estes said.
Gainesville Paranormal visits the homes of those who feel they have an unidentified presence in their home or simply have a question regarding the paranormal – even if it’s just a photo.
Estes founded the group in 2009. When he began working with other paranormal groups in the area, he put his own investigating work on hold.
