For $45, brave visitors will divide and conquer areas of the theater where sightings have been reported with paranormal equipment in hand, ranging from handmade spiritboxes to a variety of cameras, according to the event listing.

Spirit-detecting equipment will be provided, but attendees can also bring their own realm-defying gadgets just in time for Halloween festivities.
