We will be meeting at the Ghost Hunter Shop which is located in the Collectors Gallery building. The Gallery is located at 835 Porter Place , Lexington , KY 40508 and if you want to get the driving directions from your home you can go to www.mapquest.com and type in your address and the gallery's address for directions. Once you turn off Versailles Rd. onto Porter Place , Collectors Gallery is the 3rd building on the left. It has a big parking lot and a sign on the side of the building that says, "Collectors Gallery" and "The Ghost Hunter Shop". The Introduction class starts at 9:00 am - 3:00 pm . We break at 12:00 for lunch at one of the local buffets and that meals cost around $7.00. The course, "Introductory to Ghost Hunter" is presented on PowerPoint so viewing the photos, videos and listening to the EVPs is so much better. It is the same material I use to teach the 4 week class at LCC. I just condense the stories and I can fit it all into 5 hours. The cost of the Introduction course is $50.00.

The package also includes instruction on how to use the EMF meters, how to record EVPs to your computer, dowsing affirmation, prayers for investigation, and a clearing prayer.

This will make you eligible to take the Advance/Certification Ghost Hunting Course if you wish to continue with your studies in ghost hunting. You may want to bring a pen and pad for note taking during the class.

Testimonials
Here are a few testimonials from students who took the ghost hunting courses taught by Patti Starr at the Bluegrass Technical and Community College:
![]()
"Thanks to Patti's methods, my wife and I discovered amazing phenomena beyond our rational explanation. In even our first investigations we received remarkable mist and orb photographs, witnessed electrical phenomena, and recorded nearly a dozen EVPs. These discoveries have given a sense of confirmation to what our faith always knew. Our journey into "ghost hunting" has increased our appreciation and awareness of history, science, and religion as well as the 'paranormal.'" Eric Duckworth, West Point Alumni![]()
This "classy" southern lady teaches about ghosts and spirits with knowledge, poise, enthusiasm and belief. Her knowledge of the spirit world reaches out and engages you in such a way that you just know you’ll never be the same again. By profession I am a high school teacher, but I am also a Para-midwife, and an Emergency Medical Technician that sees life come and go everyday. As one of Patti’s students, she has shown me new parameters of my connection to the spirit world. I now realize that this coming and going of life could hold elements of hope and enlightenment. Paula S. Lewis![]()
Patti Star's ghost investigation techniques are top notch! Patti's book offers a wealth of information and guidance to help the amateur and experienced ghost hunters. After implementing Patti’s techniques our ghost-hunting group was able to gain the reputation that's kept business knocking on our door - Thanks Patti, Carrie Galloway![]()
"After I took Patti's Introduction to Ghost Hunting class, my husband and I decided to try dowsing. On our first trip out to a small graveyard I was amazed to find my dowsing rods moving on their own. It never failed to identify a grave every time I passed over one. It was so cool and exciting, it really helped me become a believer in dowsing. " Sonja J. Hatton![]()
Here is a testimonial from a participant of one of Patti Starr’s
many Seminars in 2002:"After one seminar with Patti, my family decided to try our luck at dowsing. Imagine our surprise when on our very first try we got orbs in about 40% of our photos and captured 3 EVPs on microcassette! After years of interest, we are now in the process of becoming certified ghost hunters after having such a positive experience. Thank you Patti!" Starr Chaney

Here are testimonials from media personality that have witnessed Starr’s investigation first hand before reporting on them:
"When I first met Patti I was very skeptical about paranormal activity. However, after conducting many radio interviews and ghost investigations with Patti there is no doubt in my mind that we are not alone. Patti is very devoted to learning more about ghosts and helping others to understand why they are with us. She always backs up her findings with solid evidence and has even taught me how to be a successful ghost hunter."
Misty Monroe, Morning Show DJ on 100.9 FM-Lebanon

"If enthusiasm was contagious, everyone would believe in ghosts after
spending only a short time with Certified Ghost Hunter Patti Starr. I had
the opportunity to meet Patti in October 1998 when I was working on a series
of ghost stories about Nelson County, Ky. Patti, a former manager of The Old
Talbott Tavern in Bardstown, was eager to share not only her experiences at
the Tavern, but talked with me about her beliefs and experiences throughout
her life. Since then, I have had the opportunity to take part in several
ghosts hunts with Patti. She approaches each one with ardor and
professionalism. She is a highly-skilled ghost hunter who believes deeply in
her work."
Stacey Manning, writer for Kentucky Standard Newspaper
