Well, one way to let the spirits manifest themselves is to have something emanating infrasonic waves at roughly 19HZ (from Wiki):
"The Ghost in the Machine Research by the late Vic Tandy, a lecturer at Coventry University, suggested that the frequency 19 Hz was responsible for many ghost sightings. He was working late one night alone in a supposedly haunted laboratory at Warwick, when he felt very anxious and could detect a grey blob out of the corner of his eye. When he turned to face it, there was nothing. The following day, he was working on his fencing foil, with the handle held in a vice. Although there was nothing touching it, the blade started to vibrate wildly. Further investigation led him to discover that the extraction fan was emitting a frequency of 18.98 Hz, very close to the resonant frequency of the eye. This was why he saw a ghostly figure — it was an optical illusion caused by his eyeballs resonating. The room was exactly half a wavelength in length, and the desk was in the centre, thus causing a standing wave which was detected by the foil. Tandy investigated this phenomenon further and wrote a paper entitled The Ghost in the Machine. He carried out a number of investigations at various sites believed to be haunted, including the basement of the Tourist Information Bureau next to Coventry Cathedral and Edinburgh Castle."

Any Pk effects might be good. Also, a great tip can be to have someone use an Airzooka.

Of course, if there's a particular hotel that thrives from its haunted reputation, and you could convince the owners that it would be worth their time and money to do a small bit of architectural modification...
Every problem contains the seeds of its own solution. Unfortunately every problem also contains the seeds of an infinite number of non-solutions, so that first part really isn't super helpful.

I'm not certain it would be that difficult, there appear to be subwoofers that can produce in that range:

But you have to create standing waves.

If you want them to truly experience a ghost, get Mind, Myth and Magick, and look up Amorte.
As you're summoning the spirits, you warn that sometimes they express themselves such as a gentle touch or a kiss, and that they shouldn't be alarmed if this happens. No too long later, one person (not a secret assistant) screams out loud! When asked why the screamed, all they can explain is that they felt a slight kissing sensation on the back of their neck, followed by a deathly cold clammy feeling. |

Anything that ill crash to the ground and make a noise. A dustbin lid or lids for example. Use strong IT or black lace pulled by an assistant at a high point of a story for example? Lights made to fade or go out flicker etc. You could have some rigged on route. Of course you let them notice them! You are oblivious to them as you tell the story.
I am assuming this will be in the evening or in long dark passages. It would be possible to easily rigg a few items this way. |

The tour finishes with participants walking down the "Exorcist Steps." I could loosen one of the steps. Seriously, you guys have come up with some great ideas!
Thank you, fib |

Put some dabs of thick pea soup on some of the handles leading down the steps. That should freak someone that accidentally puts their hands on it.

I could do the 360 degree of my arm, saying my left wrist is possessed.

Or I could put a doll's head on my left hand and do the 360 turn, effectively twisting the doll's head completely around. And sing the ABC's in a childlike voice then gradually make my voice grow deeper until it comes from the depths of hell.
