A group of sceptics has offered to help a Tasmanian ghost hunting organisation as it investigates paranormal activity.
Evidence presented by the Tasmanian Ghost hunting Society has been criticised by the Launceston Skeptics group.
Last week, the ABC was invited to join the society as it investigated the historic Franklin House in Launceston.
The group says it recorded shapes and sounds in the 200-year-old house that defy explanation.
But the Launceston Skeptics group has criticised the evidence which has been posted online.
Spokesman David Tyler says the observations were not compelling.
"It has to be good, if it's an extraordinary claim, that is that there are ghosts there it needs very solid evidence," he said.
Despite their doubts, the sceptics have raised the possibility of helping the ghost hunters observe future investigations.
Another member, Jin-Oh Choi ,says his group could check their methods.
"We want to make sure the way they're recording the information is actually correct, because I don't know the exact scenario of how they've set up the room, whether they've got microphones in all corners, whether they've got cameras pointed not only pointing at the subject area, but also directed back at them."
The Ghost Hunting society says it is open to the idea, provided it is approached in the right spirit.
