Actor s in films are ghosts we expect.

Most people say I don't believe in no ghosts ,yet when their watch a film with movie stars long gone don't see m to blink an eyelid.I give a example John Wayne has been dead for a long time yet we can still see him in his many films.I have a theory that the film's that have dead actors or mattress in them still have the essence of that person.I under guise of Holsworthy mark show an training up with Emily Menshouse Stakely of Frick and Frack ,The Dirty Ghostbox to see if we will be able to get some e.v.p from selected dead film stars ..make and  female .So time in Welsh you know what happens.

In July 2016, Haunted Journeys founded National Ghost Hunting Day, registering it with the official National Day Calendar ™.  Held on the last Saturday of each September, it serves to enthusiastically commence the start of each new Halloween season.   Its noble intention is to globally observe the most haunted properties in the world while recognizing the novice, curious, experts and professionals that investigate paranormal activity in these iconic locations!  

The main format of celebrating National Ghost Hunting Day is their annual World's Largest Ghost Hunt event, which serves as the engine to encourage Historic Preservation, Paranormal Unity, Paranormal Research and Public Education about these Historic Sites and the skills and techniques used in Paranormal Investigation.  

Haunted Journeys' inspiration for this annual epic event is spoken simply in their motto:

"A Haunting is History Wishing to be...Holsworthy mark show..maria Schmidt national ghost hunting day
