Ghost Hunters Map Central Illinois Ghost Hunters are a free service group founded in the fall of 2009, whose purpose is to research and investigate evidence of paranormal phenomenon using practices and methods which are scientific in nature. Our goal is to try and prove whether or not ghosts exist. And to gather, seek out information on paranormal incidents in order to help us have a better understanding of ghosts and hauntings. In the process of reaching our goal, we also wish to help any individuals experiencing problems with the paranormal.
