Ghost Hunters International - Slovakia & Germany

This week the team goes to Orasvy Hrad, Slovakia to Orava Castle. This was the location of the silent vampire movie Nosferatu made in 1932. I did see that movie, it was creepy and no, I didn't see it first run! The castle is dated from the 13th century and is said to be haunted by a lady in black, a lady in white wedding clothes and an arch bishop is supposedly buried somewhere in the walls.
Andy & Robb go into the museum and hear a door handle rattle. They check it out with the thermal camera and register a heat signature on the handle and the key hole. Further investigation shows that no one could have been on the other side of the door without them seeing them since it opened to the outside and the only way in or out was a room at the top of the stairs.
Brian & Barry go to the citadel, where the lady in white is seen, and keep hitting their shins on low benches scattered around the room. Barry askes for a sign of the spirits presence and askes them to move something. Maybe he should ask them to move those benches. Brian sees a few shadows and Barry gets his arm squeezed.
Andy & Robb go to the citadel next and they too get attacked by the benches. They catch something on the thermal cam which turns out to be a reflection but was exciting at the moment.
Brian next takes Shannon to the museum. Brian is all fired up and wanting something to happen and Shannon is scarred, big surprise. Brian tells her to get over it "you are a ghost hunter!" and "darkness is your friend". As Brian tries to coax out a spirit, Shannon pulls out her rosary, I wonder if she borrowed Donna's. They see a lot of shadows while Shannon freaks out.
Donna's turn in the museum and she gets her jacket tugged and gets a hand in her face which pisses her off. The place then comes alive (or dead) with shadows running around all over the room.
Barry & Andy head up to the citadel again where we find out there are 1462 steps much to Barry's discomfort.
The findings - a lot of personal experiences and a few EVP's. One EVP is a response to Donna saying that Barry is good the EVP catches "I know". Another is the name "Dohzon" which is the name of the husband of the white lady. The last was in response to Robb asking if the spirits wanted them to stay there and they get "Nyet", Russian for no. Robb says there is definitely paranormal activity.
On to Trechtingshausen Germany and Reichenstein Castle. This castle was built in the 11th century and is said to be haunted by a headless ghost.
In the ancestor's room, Donna is taking pictures from the balconey and Brian trys to provoke the spirits. Donna sees a white mist floating around the room which Brian walks through several times and Andy gets tapped on his shoulder.
Shannon & Donna go into Olga's bedroom where Donna smells the faint scent of perfume.
This castle was pretty boring. The team doesn't get any evidence except for the personal experiences. Robb pronounces the castle as not haunted. Double D
