Paranormal Tourism Big Business

I was reading an article on CNN in regards to a town I believe in Alabama that has really hopped on the paranormal tourism bandwagon. The town is offering all sorts of travel deals in the hopes of luring paranormal enthusiasts to vacation there. I noted that many of the historic sites, and other public destinations listed ghost stories, which got me to thinking about whether or not these stories existed before the push to get more visitors to their sites? This is where some good old fashioned research into a specific location is imperative to getting to the bottom of some of these stories. If there were no reports until recently or the stories being told do not jibe with the known history of the place, then the paranormal traveler or serious researcher should exercise caveat emptor, and remember that in these bad economic times businesses are apt to tell you anything while vying for your much valued tourist dollar, including a good ghost story if that is what they believe will get you to visit their establishments.

Paranormal travel is something I've seriously thought about. For example the Ozark Spooklight, is something I've thought would be fun to go to as a group. Naturally in the spring when Missouri/Oklahoma have a bit less snow and are a tad warmer than we are. This would save me from the crowds in Florida also.
