The Bismarck Police Department escorted some ghost hunters from the now abandoned Palace Arms Motel late Friday after neighbors reported spotting flashlights being used in the building.

Five individuals, ages 16 through 19, told police they were "hunting for ghosts." They had gained access at about 10:30 p.m. through a broken window. They were charged with criminal trespassing, though it didn't appear there was any damage done during their search for the supernatural. All five were released.
