Hear some of the experiences the members of the Midwest Paranormal Files have had from their fifteen years in the field. Evidence which has been collected during MPF investigations will be presented and participants will gain some hands-on experience of what goes into a paranormal investigation. 

About the Midwest Paranormal Files:

Midwest Paranormal Files have conducted investigations in Minnesota, North Dakota, Iowa, as well as Wisconsin. They are based out of Detroit Lakes, MN, and have been doing this since October 2010. The group uses a common sense approach when conducting an investigation with audio, photography, and videos. Community outreach and education are an important part of what they do.
