Niche Biz: Haunted Places
Two Minnesota men have found their niche in the travel market by taking groups to scary places.
Dave Schrader of Circle Pines and Tim Dennis of Burnsville are leading groups on trips to haunted hotels and spooky cruise ships.
The two started an online radio show called “Darkness Radio” in January 2006. Within a year, their weekly broadcasts had made them celebrities among fanciers of otherworldly mystery.
They began asking stars of TV shows about the supernatural to cohost weekends at haunted destinations.
Among the locations are the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado — made famous by the movie “The Shining.”Travelers pay between $180 to $250 for the trips — not including transportation or lodging.
