30 GHOSTS chronicles rural Ontario horse farmer and paranormal-investigator-on-the-side, Kim Hadfield, over a year of intense struggle as she pursues her dream of proving to mankind that ghosts exist. With the help of three fun-loving, quirky friends, Hadfield fights her way through internal and external roadblocks to achieve her goal: to capture photographic evidence of a spirit. Our crew follows Hadfield and her troupe - the Halton Paranormal Group - as they "get their ghost on". These phantasm-hunting females spend their time investigating local eccentric's homes, as well as boarded-up abandoned houses, often encountering the local police department while doing so. We follow the group as their profile grows, gaining widespread media coverage after they investigate large public buildings. But as Hadfield gains experience, her personal and financial life also suffers, and we witness the mental strain that this ghostly obsession puts on her. This film is a portrayal of ambition, obsession, and one woman's quest to capture something that may not exist. The results are at times tragic, bizarre, comical and genuinely spooky.
