You don't need an electromagnetic field detector to find a haunted restaurant this Halloween.

"The body is the best barometer for feeling and sensing things," said Dawn McClain, an investigator with the Twin Cities Paranormal Society. "Everybody has the ability to tune into their intuitive self. If you walk into a place and start looking around and you feel different inside, you feel a sense of real sadness or anger, or your emotions change, you should pay attention to that kind of stuff."

Several Twin Cities area restaurants have conducted paranormal investigations or clearings; dine at your own risk.
