Larry Bauder, an investigator for the Tri-City Ghost Hunters Society, sits in front of the projector screen Wednesday afternoon while audio evidence is played back for a sold out audience to hear during the Ghost Hunters presentation at the Alice & Jack Wirt Library in Bay City. Besides playing back recorded audio evidence, the group explained their goals and how their equipment works. Started in 2009 by Nicole Beauchamp and Mandy Moore, the group does research on haunted locations and investigations for anyone in need.

Bottom caption: Adam Federspiel, 22, of Midland, a senior at Central Michigan University, stands while waiting for the 12-mile Ride of Silence to begin Wednesday evening. The ride memorializes cyclists who have been injured or killed on public roadways, and promotes motorist awareness of cyclists. "My cousin was riding his bike in Redford when someone took a left, didn't see him, and he was struck and killed. I do it memory of him," Federspiel said.
