The American Ghost Society is a paranormal investigative group which spans the entirety of North America.[1] It was founded in 1995 by Troy and Amy Taylor in Alton, Illinois as the Ghost Society of Central Illinois, but was renamed in 1996.[2] The society began holding annual conferences in the same year.[3] By 1999 the group had 2,500 members.[4] The society focuses on using supposedly scientific methods for ghost hunting rather than seances or psychic readings. The use of digital cameras is also barred by the organisation.[5] The society offers certificates and training in ghost hunting.[6]
The American Ghost Society also publishes the quarterly magazine Ghosts of the Prairie and operates the largest online bookstore dedicated to the supernatural.[2][3]
