Joe Nickell has been called a “modern day Sherlock Holmes” and the “real-life Scully (from the X-Files). He is a paranormal and forensic investigator of mysteries, myths and hoaxes. He approaches every investigation with an open and rational mind. He is the world's only full-time professional paranormal investigator and a frequent writer for Skeptical Inquirer, as well as an established author and senior fellow at the Center for Skeptical Inquiry.

This presentation was given at The Putnam Museum, in Davenport, Iowa, in conjunction with their “The Science of Ghost Hunting” exhibit. Joe explained that most ghost hunting, in his experience, employs pseudoscience, and he will explore why we are susceptible to being fooled by our own senses when we come across something “unexplained”.
