This is a continual lesson: if you want to be taken seriously as a ghost hunter, you should never trespass. You’ll get in trouble! I remember being 12 and looking for a haunted mill somewhere in the Massachusetts woods. I was with my older brother, and we parked on the side of a highway. Of course we got caught by the police. My brother told them we were looking for a haunted mill, and they laughed and drove away. Of course, this was also about 15 years ago. I don’t think you can get away with this sort of thing nowadays. This story, about ghost-hunting teens, is out of Ohio.
Ruh-roh!
