Ghostly Activities is a ghost club, based in the Puget Sound area of Washington. Our members enjoy a relaxed environment to talk about spooky adventures, tell tales of haunted history, test ghost hunting gadgets, partake in paranormal tourism, and go on a ghost hunt now and then. The club was founded by Jacob Rice and Saleen Graham.

Ghostly Activities (the site) has been around the InterWebs for a while now. Back in 2013, it started as a ghost-hunting team in Chicago and then became a tutorial site for new ghost hunters. We didn’t know much about web sites at the time, so it launched on Tumblr in January of that year.

Over the years, the site has morphed. It’s covered ghost hunting TV shows, equipment reviews, and anything else you might be curious about the craft of paranormal investigations.

Now, it will just be a destination for paranormal enthusiasts looking to have a little fun on a spooky night, or a cozy ghost hunter looking for tips to get better evidence and solve a ghostly mystery.

About Jacob Rice

Hi there. Please call me Jake. Unlike many people in the paranormal world, I didn’t grow up in a haunted house, nor did I have psychic abilities. I was just a hockey-loving kid growing up in the north woods of Wisconsin. I didn’t have my first ghostly encounter until I was well into adulthood. But, boy, did that get me investigating ghosts real fast!

In 2007, I lived in Chicago (Edgewater neighborhood, if you know it), I had just finished a beach volleyball tournament and hopped in the elevator of my apartment building. My dog, Rhea, needed her walk. As the elevator climbed the shaft, it started to shake, quake, and rattle. It then stopped between 2 floors. I hit the emergency call button when the lights went out and an eerie, shimmering, golden glow appeared. I saw the outline of a man with a flat-top haircut, and I felt like I knew the person. After I said to leave me alone, it vanished. When I talked to my brother about the encounter, he told me it was the 30th anniversary of our grandfather’s death … and he had a flat-top haircut.

It wasn’t until 2009 that I started Ghostly Activities, the ghost-hunting team, with Saleen. In 2013, the website came along. we documented every bit of our ghost hunts to share with other researchers. Now, the Ghostly Activities ghost club gets together for spooky fun on the weekends.

Nowadays, I live in the Puget Sound area with a pack of rescued dogs. Saleen’s not as involved because she became a doctor and runs a clinic in the Chicagoland area. But she’s still with the club in spirit.

Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate it.

Your humble, cozy ghost hunter,

Jacob ‘Jake’ Rice
