Ghosts in the Machines

Ghost hunting and science on the same billing!

What happens when we turn out the lights? A (not too scary) look at how ghost hunters use technology to find spooks, and how it really works.

What is the paranormal? Can we even examine it with a scientific mind? How do ghost hunters claim technology provides evidence of ghosts and what are they actually measuring? How can normal things can appear scary?

If the camera never lies, how are we AND technology bamboozled by natural things? Enjoy our adventure, then you can decide for yourselves.

This IS a family show, so don’t panic. We will not be invoking demons to join us. There are no chances of us encountering a real ghost... hopefully.

Please make your way to The Egg at least 15 minutes before the start time to help enable everyone to be seated so that the show can start on time.

Seats may be reallocated if ticket holders have not arrived by the published start time.
