Ghost Research Society
The Ghost Research Society (formerly known as the Ghost Tracker's Club) is a paranormal research society, founded in the late 1970s by Martin V. Riccardo.[1]
History
[edit]The Society was founded as the Ghost Tracker's Club in 1977 but changed its name to the Ghost Research Society in 1982.[1]
Investigations
[edit]The Ghost Research Society began investigations in the late 1970s and has looked into many famous cases including those at Bachelor's Grove Cemetery.[1] Dale Kaczmarek, the current president, assumed his position in 1982.[2] From the outset of its investigations the society has endeavored to use technology.[3] In 1994, the organization collaborated with the American Society for Psychical Research to produce the National Directory of Haunted Places.[4]
Current status
[edit]Though the group is based in Oak Lawn, Illinois,[2] it has an international membership.[1] The society produces a quarterly newsletter called the Ghost Tracker's Newsletter[1] and gives bus tours of Chicago's supposedly haunted locations.[5]
