SEDALIA, MISSOURI (AP) -- A group of Missourians are hunting for spirits and ghosts.

The team of ghost-hunters has about a dozen investigators responding to Missouri calls of hauntings and ghosts. Britt Faaborg founded the group in 2005.

The Sedalia Democrat reports that Faaborg said about 60 percent of the cases they investigate have a normal explanation. He attributes the remainder to the paranormal.

Faaborg said the team has encountered "intelligent" spirits that that allow for interaction and objects that move on their own.
