Anyone actively investigating or hunting, etc?

It has been a hobby of mine to seek out "haunted" places and find out for myself. I have been to most everything in Southwest Ohio so far. I'm trying to find those out there that actively hunt for ghosts and the paranormal and new hot spots to check out.

Let me know if you're into hunting and urban exploring and please post places you've been and links to sites or photos of these places. :)

Great idea! I'd be interested to see what your request brings.

I've not been ghost hunting as yet, but I've seen them.
Seeing you're in the Dayton area I'd think you've of checked some of the local spots of which there are some well known and some not so well, but if you're up early, take a trip up St Rt 49 north of Arcanum and just a few miles outside of Greenville. I'm wanting to say the closest cross street is one going into Gettysburg, but just past a trailer park on the left if your headed north, is an old RR crossing that was taken up years ago, but the slight rise in the road was still there last time I was up that way.

I used to travel that road daily and one morning, slightly foggy, I was approaching the rise and I thought my eyes had taken a vacation and had forgot to invite me. In the middle of the road at the peak of the rise, was an old man, dressed in bib overhuals, a not so clean white t-shirt type of a shirt, dark boots. I was on him befor my eyes truly registered him standing there, but as the front left side of my car hit him as it were, he just faded or disolved into the air and seemed to mix with the fog.
I wasn't really sure he was there to begin with, but it got my attention enough that I turned around to make sure there really wasn't a man there, and there wasn't.
I went on into work and told a few in a joking way about my hit and run with a ghost, thinking it was just a good laugh, but more than one said that I had finally seen the old man. I had begun to tell one lady about how he was dressed and she stopped me, and said, he was wearing bibs, a dirty white t-shirt and black boots wasn't he? I just stood there and she told me about how an old farmer had been crossing 49 one early morning and was on the tracks and he got hit by a train and was killed, and now and then from then on he would be seen, still walking across the road.

So if you get up that way, he's a little over 6 feet, and dressed as I said, and who knows, ya just might get a glance.

Checked your site out and wish you luck in your hunts. I've found that for the most part, a ghost, for lack of a better word, will make themselves known if they want to and only when they want too.
If your ever in Yellow Springs, stop in and have a bite to eat at the Old Mill Tavern. I don't know if they know it, but there's an unsettled presence that remains mostly upstairs, but ventures down to the middle dining area alot. Don't waste your time in the open garden area of the newer dining area with the glass walls, it doesn't go into those areas. If you talk them into letting you investigate it, keep this in mind. Don't piss the presence off, don't provoke it or force it's hand, it has a mean sense about it.
Just accept it's being there and it will let you know it's there and if any of your group is sensitive, it will let you know that they know it can be felt, seen or heard, depending on how sensitive the person is.
Now, if you stop and eat lunch there, unless you want your food to be almost to cold to eat within a few minutes, don't sit near the far right corner as you walk in. That space seems to be a sop they are comfortable in and I would guess for that reason it saps the heat away very fast from anything giving off heat, that includes food, or you.
