Paranormal Salem offers a corporate teambuilding experience that would be ideal for Halloween. The activity involves coworkers banding together for a night of ghost-hunting. The two-hour nighttime tour takes participants to Salem's most haunted places, from the Witch Trial Memorial to the basement of an 18th-century courthouse. Each person is trained to use equipment that allegedly detects spirit activity, like EMF detectors, digital voice recorders, infrared thermometers, pendulums, and dowsing rods. A video of the experience, taken with a night-vision camcorder, can be viewed on YouTube the next day. Tickets are $20 per person, or $15 per person for groups of 10 or more. The maximum group size is 25, and reservations are required.
