G is for Ghost Hunters

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".
