It's pretty simple, according to people who call themselves ghost hunters: You have to believe in ghosts to see them.
The more familiar truism, of course, is "seeing is believing." But ghost hunters have turned it around on purpose. In their ongoing debate with skeptics, they've upended the cliché and used it as a weapon to bolster their case for the existence of spooks.

Find one that's right for you."If you go in to a place that's supposed to be haunted, you're tuned up [to believe] already," explains world-famous skeptic James Randi, who has promised to pay $1 million to anyone who can show evidence of a paranormal, supernatural, or occult event under controlled circumstances.
So far, no one has won the money, although Sylvia Browne, who claims she is a psychic, agreed in September 2001 to put her powers to the test.
You could have a chance to win that money, too--if only you could find a ghost. So how do you go about doing that?
