Darmstadt, Germany and Frankenstein's Castle. Just the sound of that gives me goosebumps. The castle itself is first mentioned in the year 948. In the 1600's, Konrad Dipple von Frankenstein, an alchemist, was performing experiments on corpses he dug up. So, we have a grave robbing mad scientist who is still haunting his castle, sounds like fun! Frankenstein's lab was located in the Ann Marie tower where several ghosts have been reported one of which is a nude Ann Marie. Of course the guys want to start here. They do not get any action and are disappointed when Ann Marie doesn't make an appearance.
Donna & Shannon, apparently they are getting along again, go into the chapel for some EVP work when Donna sees a shadow get up from one of the pews. Robb & Andy go to the chapel and see a shadow in the window. When they go outside to see if anyone could have walked past, they find that the window is actually about 40 feet above the ground! Donna goes back to the chapel two more times and sees another shadow walk behind her and the last time, the door handle jiggles.
Before pouring over the tapes, the team take a tour of the Possman Brewery. It is the only brewery in the world that uses world war II submarines to brew apple wine. Robb claims it is very important to learn about the local culture as part of the investigation. I guess sampling the local brew is pretty important too, huh Robb.
After sorting through the evidence, the team finds two EVPs and they taped where Donna & Andy hear the door knob of the chapel jiggle. The first EVP is old German for "Arbo is here" which must be referring to Arbogast, the first knight to live in the castle. The other EVP is, again, old German for "come here". Robb says the castle has significant paranormal activity which makes local Frankenstein expert, Walter Scheele, very happy. This was the last stop on GHI's tour. It has been an interesting trip. I was never a much of a history buff, but you learn a few things from shows like these. I hope to see more Ghost Hunters International! Double D
