It's ghost hunting season.

The Quad Cities has plenty of haunted places. Besides our own Rock & Roll Mansion, the former Rock Island YMCA (which will be hosting a paranormal convention next week). I'm pretty sure my own apartment in downtown Davenport is haunted from it's old railroad days.

Now, the video doorbell company Ring wants proof.

A lot of us have the video doorbells by now to show us what package is being delivered or who is lurking around on our porch. So in theory, especially for those of us with haunted dwellings, capturing paranormal activity on one of these shouldn't be that hard, right?

Ring's Great Ghost Search will pay $100,000 to whoever can find the most convincing proof of ghosts on their Ring camera.

So...Boo?

If you want to win it, you better encourage the ghosts in your house to get performative. Tick them off, bribe them, or something. They will keep the contest open for about a month, until November 1st or until they reach 5,000 submissions.

You can log into your Ring account to submit the video. And also make sure you get the ghost's permission. Wouldn't want them coming back to haunt the folks at Ring too.

I just hope they release the videos at the end of this. Love the idea of watching my neighbors in bedsheet ghost costumes run back and forth in front of their door. But for $100,000? Let's go!

If Midwesterners can find UFO's so easily (looking at you, Illinois) then surely for that kind of money we can find ghosts.
