be breaking a law.
Places you post stuff
TheGhostHunterOnline.com wants kids from around the
world to be able to say what they think about The Ghost
Hunter books, Cori and Marta, the ghosts, the hauntings,
the fan club! But, if we find something inappropriate,
we have the right to remove it from the site.

would have to pay for a lawyer and all other costs.
Links to other sites
We will do our best to make sure that every link we
