Got Ghosts? Paranormal investigation at Mill Creek Park may find answers

Have you had luck finding any paranormal activity? Maybe you found some Saturday night at Mill Creek Park.

Saturday evening, there was a paranormal investigation at Ford Nature Center. These investigations have been taking place every month for the last three years.

The center works with the Collective Paranormal Research Society to put on these investigations.

Lynn Zocolo with Mill Creek MetroParks says if you wonder about what happens after death, this may be something for you.

“I think there’s always the question of the afterlife and there’s no clear-cut answers. Whether you’re skeptic or whether you believe, each investigation is always different,” Zocolo said.

These investigations take place every month, with the next one taking place Aug. 28 from 8 to 11 p.m. For more information, you can visit Mill Creek’s website.
