History
In May 2011, Ghost Hunt Weekends was issued a trademark certificate from the State of Tennessee[4].
The first Ghost Hunt Weekends event was held in 2011 in Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee at the Thomas House Hotel and featured Syfy Channel's Ghost Hunters stars Amy Bruni and Steve Gonsalves.[5]
Ghost Hunt Weekends entered into an internet radio deal in 2012 with the Global Radio Alliance/KGRA and expanded into Europe. (As of 2012) all Ghost Hunt Weekends events were covered by the Global Radio Alliance/KGRA by way of Live streaming video including night vision and thermal cameras, Live Radio Commentary and Interactive Chat Rooms, with Ghost Hunt Weekends being the only event company in the field to do so.[citation needed]
In September 2012 the Ghost Hunt Weekends entered into a sponsorship deal with GhostHuntIR,[6] providing Ghost Hunt Weekends with thermal and night vision cameras including FLIR to be rented to customers.
