Do I need paranormal investigation experience?

No experience needed. Training is provided before investigations begin. EMF detectors are simple handheld devices. Most participants are beginners. The guide handles interpretation of results.

What do EMF detectors actually measure?

EMF devices detect electromagnetic field fluctuations. They can indicate electrical wiring, nearby phones, or unexplained anomalies. Results are interpreted by the guide. Readings don't prove hauntings but document unusual activity.

Is this tour actually in a haunted building?

Spon Street buildings have documented reports of poltergeist activity from residents and previous investigators. Historical records support paranormal incidents. Whether activity occurs on your specific night is unpredictable.
