FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Murfreesboro Historical Association, Inc. and The Ghost Guild, Inc. Announce New Partnership
MURFREESBORO, NC AUGUST 2ND, 2022 - The Ghost Guild, Inc. and the Murfreesboro Historical Association, Inc. (MHA) have entered into a partnership to explore the town's history.
Part of the mission of the The Ghost Guild, a registered non-profit paranormal research organization consisting of Triangle area volunteers who share a love for history, science, and the unexplained, is to work collaboratively with notable and historically significant organizations.
Murfreesboro native Al Parker, who created the MHA "Ghosts, Legends, and Lore Tour,” introduced MHA to The Ghost Guild after joining them for an investigation aboard the Battleship North Carolina in Wilmington.
Parker says, "The Ghost Guild is not a typical ghost-hunting organization. Their research always starts with a respect for the location and its history." According to The Ghost Guild, "We seek locations of cultural and historical significance. Our investigations are science-based, meaning that we observe and gather data, form hypotheses, and imagine possible solutions to explain those observations before starting our experiments. It is especially important to us that we educate our audiences on the history we’ve uncovered, the science we’ve utilized, and the data we’ve documented. We don’t label things as ‘evidence’ when we share our data; we always ask our audience to make their own conclusions. For us, it is simply a mystery that remains to be solved."
The Ghost Guild's goal is to "assist in the preservation efforts of historical sites by bringing their history to life and opening the doors to a larger and untapped audience."
The Ghost Guild will start researching MHA properties in the Fall of 2022. Under this partnership, there might be opportunities in the future for MHA members to meet The Ghost Guild during activities, such as presentations, and even possibly joining them on an investigation in Murfreesboro.
