I use to watch Ghost Hunters, then it kind of became repetitive, to me. Wednesday night it was on and the team went to Maine. A haunt, I use to frequent when I was in high school. Groups of kids would meet and we pair off into teams, think flashlight tag. We would play hide n' seek in this spooky, cold, granite fort. The appearance is ominous, it is damp, dark with narrow passage ways, long corridors, tiny stair cases, long alley ways, and lots of nook n' crannies. Their investigation was at Fort Knox; No this isn't the one with all the gold. It is one of the best preserved forts on the New England coast. "Fort Knox was built to avoid a British invasion that was expected during the mid-19th century. But this invasion never came.. There were periods of military activity at Fort Knox. During the Civil War from 1863 to 1866, troops were stationed at Fort Knox."
I remember one summer night, my friend wanted to leave after one round. She was really spooked, she heard stomping and felt a presence. We all thought her imagination had run wild, but we ended the evening early. She did seem shaken. I only went a few times; it later was chained and roped off, so we couldn't get in. We went home a couple of summers ago and took our kids. Our son remembered going before; our daughter was too young. My son remembers hearing someone walking and someone throwing rocks. They mentioned on the show, others recalling similar incidents.
It was fun to watch the show; Josh n' Grant and their team did a great job. They actually want to go back. It was bitter, cold and snowing. They did record heavy breathing and their were lasers that show something blocked the beam. They did conclude, there is paranormal activity.
"At least one psychic has confirmed the existence of spirits in the fort. Some have suggested the spirits are those of a solider who had strong ties to the fort, such as Sgt. Leopold Hegyi, who served there for 13 years and died in the house where he lived across the road from the fort. In addition to many unexplained experiences, visitors, over the years, perhaps sensing something in the fort, have asked guides about the possibility that the place is haunted. The Friends organization helps to bolster that idea of ghosts with its annual Psychic and Paranormal Fair and the Fright at the Fort celebration at Halloween in which real-life spooks haunt the dank and dark alleys inside the fort" ~Leon Seymour~Executive Director "Friends of Fort Knox".
Have you ever seen or heard anything that makes you wonder? Do you believe in ghosts?

About believing or not, I keep an open mind.
Loved your post about Ghosthunters

I believe in spirits but not ghosts as presented in the media.
Once in college I distinctly remember laying in bed and waking up to what looked like a see-through blue outlined young lady in the doorway that lead to my bathroom (I was a sophomore RA so I had a single with an adjoining bathroom) I just laid there and stared, and blinked, and though... cah-ra-zee! And finally pulled the covers over my head and said "go away!" There are stories of a girl who died in the old music building which was the admissions office at the time an just across the street from my dorm but who knows!?! Could have just been a sleep deprived college student too.
As babies, my kids have always had a tendency to gaze into the same corners of our home (we live in the home that my great grandparents built) and they smile and laugh. No one has died in this house but it's always seemed like such a happy presence for them. More cool than creepy there.
I'm not sure if I believe in "ghosts" as they're portrayed in media, but part of me is open to the idea of spirits. Or a presence. It's a very blurry line, one that's difficult to figure out, but I guess that's where I stand!
