Wright-Pat calls ‘Ghost Hunters’
Wright-Pat calls ‘Ghost Hunters’

The Air Force is technologically capable of dominating air, space and cyberspace. But when it comes to the paranormal, who you gonna call?

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, has had reports of supernatural activity for years, so they called in The Atlantic Paranormal Society, host of the SciFi Channel show “Ghost Hunters.” The team starts today on a week of investigations into three possibly haunted buildings on base, which will air as an episode during the season starting in March.

One of the buildings is the Arnold House, the former residence of Gen. Henry “Hap” Arnold himself, which dates from the 19th century, base spokeswoman Rachel Castle said.

“People have heard footsteps when they’re the only person in the house,” Castle said. “The interesting thing about that is there’s a buzzer system in the house, so if someone wants in, they have to buzz in. So if you’re the only one in there, you know you’re the only one in there, and they continue to hear the footsteps on the stairs.”

Children’s laughter has also been heard in the house when no children were present, but no one has seen the ghost of Arnold himself, Castle said.

1. Oh, I love that show.
I don't know why I like it, but I've watched every marathon into the wee hours of the night, and I still could watch it every day. Their Halloween marathon was great.

There is something about that show. I don't know why in the world I'm addicted to it. Only in about 10% of the cases are they able to show any real documented haunting activity yet, I look forward to their weekly series. Maybe because they go into the haunted locations with the attitude that they are going to disprove and debunk as much as possible. Despite their skeptical attitudes, they still capture some very strange happenings they can't explain.

I'm glad they changed the name of the show from T.A.P.S. to Ghost Hunters. TAPS was a horrible name and people thought it was some kind of military show.
