Ghost Hunters - My Favorite Episodes

If you want some good scientific ghost busting, then TAPS are who you want to watch. TAPS, which stands for The Atlantic Paranormal Society, goes into an investigation to try and debunk a haunting. Most of the time they do find a reason for someone hearing those bumps in the night but, there are some that are hard to explain and then you have the ones that are actually caught on tape, which are my favorites! Here is a quick overview of some of my favorite episodes: Manson Murders - the owner of a home built near the site of the Manson murders claims he hears footsteps, hears voices and has seen one of the murder victims in his bedroom. TAPS caught some voices on audio which sound distressful and had EMF (electromagnetic field) spikes in the bedroom. Charlie Chaplin Studios - employees hear voices, footsteps (noticing a pattern here?) and see dead people (where have I heard that before?). TAPS did catch a figure on camera floating about 3 feet off the floor. Leap Castle, Ireland - this castle has a violent past and is said to be inhabited by an elemental. TAPS did pick up audio of some indistinct voices as well as footsteps. One investigator was knocked down and a cameraman was pushed. Seems like something is going on! Lisheen Castle, Ireland - the TAPS team investigated another Irish castle. This time they record what sounds like bootsteps on a wooden floor, however, there are no wooden floors at that location! While two investigators are checking out the wooded area around the castle, another team has the thermo-imaging camera watching them when three more images come into view following the investigators. Also caught on video was the fleeting image of a face that two of the investigators saw. Spooky stuff! New Bedford, Mass. Armory - it's said that a Sergeant hanged himself here. While in the room that he hanged himself, Jason and Grant observe a mist which is caught on the thermal-imaging camera. On the catwalk a soundman falls down. He said it felt like something went right through him. Later, while reviewing camera footage, the soundman's equipment bag is seen flying up by itself and striking him below the chin. Yikes! Crescent Hotel Eureka Springs, Ark. - this hotel was once a fake cancer treatment facility. Guests claim their clothes are packed and stacked against the door when they wake in the morning and that a man in Victorian clothing is seen. An investigator went into Grant's room only to find that his computer is leaning against the door! Grant said that he had left his computer beside the TV on the other side of the room! The investigator also received high EMF readings in this room. While in the basement of the hotel, which was also used as the morgue during the cancer treatment era, Jason and Grant catch on thermal-imaging camera the figure of a Civil War soldier. They try and debunk this as being a reflection but can not. Gives me chills! St. Augustine Lighthouse, Fl. - at different times during this investigation, all of the investigators heard a woman say "help me!". Jason and Grant hear a muffled conversation, see something go across a window and catch, on camera, someone or something looking a them over the railing. Two other investigators also see something go across a window and see a hand grab the railing. This one left everyone no doubt that this place is haunted! Double D
