Mentor Ohio Paranormal Research Society Hosting Ghost Tours In Mentor This Halloween

People can learn more about the history and hauntings of Mentor City Cemetery, Mentor Lagoons and the Wildwood Cultural Center

Dale Vokurka is the lead investigator and one of the founders of the Mentor Ohio Paranormal Research Society.

They go to historical locations in and around Mentor and record EVPs -- electronic voice phenomena, for those who don't know -- in search for evidence of ghosts, spirits and other supernatural anomalies.

Vokurka understands that some people may be skeptical about what he and his crew do. And, to the nay-sayers, he extends this invitation:

"I encourage them to come on an investigation with us and let what happens be the proof," he said.

Spirit hunters and skeptics alike have a chance to join Vokurka and the MOPRS on a series of ghost tours and paranormal investigations in some of Mentor's most historical locations.
