NEW BUSINESS: PARANORMAL INVESTIGATIONS OPENS

Snider Paranormal Investigations has opened in Cape Girardeau.

The new business at 733 Broadway is a paranormal investigation service that "if a person thinks they have ghosts in their house or area, we use our knowledge and equipment to tell if the house is really haunted," said Frank Snider, owner of the company and one of its investigators.

Snider Paranormal Investigations will be open from 1 p.m. to 9 weekdays.

Snider has two years of experience in paranormal investigations.

The new business is one of many ghost-hunting companies throughout the United States.

Several ghost-hunting organizations have been founded, including the American Ghost Society at Alton, Ill.; Eastern Illinois Society for Paranormal Research; Ohio Ghost Hunter Society; Ghost Hunters of Southern Michigan; and the International Ghost Hunters Society. All of these groups are dedicated to research and investigation of the paranormal.
