Lots of Events this Past Year

Someone recently sent me an email saying: "Doesn't look like your group has been active since 2007."

Where the hell did you get that idea ?

In the last 90 days we held a conference in Ybor City with a large and diverse group of speakers. The event was covered by 4 newspapers and two tv stations. camped out in Wimauma at Red Hawk Ranch and enjoyed a very spiritual Native American Sunset Ceremony. We had a cemetary walk at Oaklawn in conjunction with the Tampa Historical Society.

We have held a few meetings and conducted quite a few small investigations.

In 2008 we booked the entire Island Hotel in Cedar Key, took 8 people to Lillydale in NewYork and to Nigagara Falls with investigations of 3 forts, and a lot more.

We went to Cassadaga, investigated an old fire house, and scores more.

Tampa Ghost Watchers is the largest paranormal investigation team in Florida and quite possibly in the country. We welcome everyone's participation.

BUT it is up to you to take the moment to add your email address to our FREE email list so that you are kept informed of our events.
