Yeah, the Ouija board speaks volumes about their investigative technique (or lack thereof). ;D Totally metaphysical and non-scientific, and totally contrary to my own personal beliefs about paranormal investigation.
Here's a recent article about a fellow TAPS Family group called Louisiana Spirits:
http://www.iberianet.com/articles/2008/01/08/news/doc478267dcbb74f062921068.txt
The SacBee recently ran an article about API's investigation of the Saint George Hotel in Volcano, CA. This will be the site of "Ghost Rush" paranormal conference where our very own Dave Walters and Britt Griffith will be featured speakers:

SacBee? Booooo, hiiiiiiissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss! >:(
Ok, sorry to hear that. Sometimes the SacBee can be a little too political for some people's tastes. So here's an article from The Daily Iberian about a recent investigation conducted by Louisiana Spirits. This one's entitled No Explanation: Ghost Hunters Hear Voice On Tape.
http://www.iberianet.com/articles/2008/01/24/news/doc4798d8e184433059639791.txt
Oh yeah, be sure to check out the comments from readers of this online article.
The New England based Enfield Paranormal Society claims to have proof that the Cohassat, MA Town Hall is haunted. There is a link to their DVR footage that shows a door slowly close apparently of its own accord. Here's the link to Boston's Channel 7 news: http://www3.whdh.com/news/articles/local/BO72507/
Thoughts anyone?
It took me a bit to figure out exactly what it was I was watching. It looks like a video of the video. Not great quality.
Anyway, often doors like that in commercial buildings are on those big heavy duty hinges that you can prop open at the top. Depending how much slack you have in the hinge depends on how fast it closes and how long it takes to close. To me it just looks like a regular occurrence. Abet a delayed one, but I doubt it was paranormal. Too bad the film isn't any better.
Agreed. They should have offered the TV station the footage from their surveillance camera instead of just a video of their LCD monitor. :)
Next time, they might want to check to make sure things are ship shape before it is seen on television and or the internet.
I have two words for those guys....SPELL CHECK!
Kind of hard to take an organization seriously, if what they release to the media makes its way into the newspapers and onto the internet with typos everywhere. :-\
Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine. I think I will be "closeing" for now. ::)
Ah yes, another offering for this thread; Here's an article from Jackson County, Florida regarding a group of ghost hunters investigating a local historical site:

A few weeks ago I read a news story about two young ghost hunters were in a park where there was supposed activity and came across the bones and carcass of a woman that was murdered in the park. Wish I could find that link. But looks like more reality based ghost hunting shows may be coming up, this is in the news:
Darke County Ghost Hunters negotiate TV deal
"We're in the process of negotiating a TV deal with TLC (The Learning Channel)," said Dave Reed, founder of the Darke County Ghost Hunters. Reed said the station, that airs mostly reality-based shows, contacted them about doing a two week documentary about hauntings in Darke County. The group is currently reviewing the contract with their attorney.
"The documentary will be called 'Darke County Haunting'," he said.

Yeah. She might be an "EVP Specialist" and "Certified" but not used in the same sentence. Speaking of sentences, she sure has a way with words:
"It's a rad place. You can definitely feel stuff. ... " Sheer poetry. :-\
I'm sorry but anytime I hear someone saying they're 'certified' it sends up a big red flag. How can someone be certified in a subject that hasn't been proven? It's like saying someone is a certified warp-drive specialist. I do like his quote though... "It?s a rad place" - like, totaly, dude! He may have had some sort of 'training' in the use of audio filtering software, but that doesn't make one an EVP specialist.

Cool, thanks for reading the article. Hehe, yeah... the Certified EVP Specialist label is something, since you've mentioned it, I did a little searching on the web and surprised to find a lot of information on these "classes" and "trainings" one can take to become a "certified EVP Specialist". And guess what, the lady's name who is mentioned in the article popped up first on google about her radio show/blog. Hmmmm..... :)

When I read that article and saw the group's name, "Full Moon Investigations", my mind immediately conjured up cheeks instead of a hunk o' cheese, hanging in space. I had to make a joke out of that name somehow.

This story sounds like it can't hold its water

The Florida based Peace River Ghost Trackers are headed for St. Augustine and the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum because they think "There's definitely something in there, (a)nd it's not very nice." Is something evil haunting the 19th Century building where one of the world's strangest museums makes its home?

The Kendrick House in Carthage, MO, was built prior to the Civil War. That fact alone may lead someone to think the place could have spirits still walking its halls. Those spirits do exist, according to the Branson Paranormal Research Society (BPRS). Do BPRS investigators have proof of ghosts at the Kendrick House?

i'm a little confused with the whole story, but it seems like an interesting location... if I were the spirit, I'd wouldn't try to communicate with that group anymore... left a musket ball in an investigator's car and still no "haunted" title?!? ;D just bein' silly.

Hoosier State Paranormal Group is trying to figure out what makes a book donated to Asbury University in the early part of the 19th century haunted. Asbury University is now DePauw University, and that's where the book of poetry donated by Governor Whitcomb is kept locked up in the Archives and Special Collections of Roy West Library. What's the story behind The Poems of Ossian, The Son of Fingal?

There's quite a lot of evidence of a ghost in the house. One story involves a night when the family totally cleaned off the kitchen table before bed, only to find a missing diamond earring, and a missing $500 lottery ticket on the table in the morning. There is another story of an eye-witness report by a woman driving by the house who saw a man wearing a white shirt with pearl buttons and a coat, appear in the road...

Thanks for this post. I vote for a road trip. Yeah it would be a long drive for our group, but we've driven further and we can recovery the cost of gas we spend driving there with the lottery tickets we find :)
LOL ;D A couple of winning lottery tickets would make the trip quite profitable.
The Paranormal Research Society of Casper, a Wyoming group dedicated to investigations of high strangeness, has been called in to see what, if anything, is behind some very abnormal occurrences at the Fort Caspar Museum. Is the site of the frontier fort haunted?

Hi Ellie,
I haven't seen it either. I've been overwhelmed by work. Is it available online?

Cool. This is my favorite part of the article:
"Apparently, the :-\Trans Atlantic Paranormal Society :-\, which "Ghost Hunters" fans will know as T.A.P.S., found some things, mostly at the jail and on its grounds".
Journalism at it's finest. ::|
That was my favorite part too. ;D Guess TAPS isn't a household word after all... at least in Virginia. :)

Found this article in my daily paranormal wanderings and thought it was worth sharing with you:
In Hartford, Connecticut this summer, Mark Twain's former house was investigated for reported paranormal occurrence. Apparitions, seen in Victorian dress, and reported by the staff, have haunted the grounds for decades. The investigation revealed some reportedly "strange stuff." Twain's own daughter is said to roam the rooms of the mansion. With the new study's findings, the location has come to the attention of another infamous paranormal investigative team, Ghost Hunters, to do a further in-depth look for themselves.
http://www.wfsb.com/news/20992256/detail.html#
Can you drive a snowmobile there? How about a riverboat?
I think they should get TAPS west to check it out.
Did you read the article? You can't drive a riverboat through the place. :D
It looks like a really cool old house, and the reports seem to indicate residual activity at best. Interesting place, though. They are open for "Graveyard Shift Tours" in the month of October, so they can capitalize on the haunted reputation of the old house. I don't knock them for it because they need money to keep the museum open. I wouldn't mind investigating there, but only if we got the run of the place for the entire night. I might even pay for one of their "ghost tours" if the crowd was small enough. Too bad it's in Connecticut. :)
It might be on the east coast but why not have TAPS family check it. I think it would be a good idea to have Ghost Hunters to have TAPS family groups go with them on investigations.
Here's an article from the Prague Monitor about a possible poltergeist case:
http://praguemonitor.com/2009/11/03/experts-cannot-explain-paranormal-events-czech-house
A home on the market in Terrebone Parish, LA, piqued the curiosity of a team of paranormal investigators who thought it was built on a Native-American burial mound. They posed as prospective buyers to secure a visit to the gounds with a local real estate agent, taking video of the property. Then they noticed an apparition in the images they had taken and went back to view the inside of the home, feeling the apparition of a legless man in cover-alls wanted them to do so. What followed brought the Terrebone Sheriff's Department to the scene, and Louisiana State University forensic anthropologists are now examining bones found by the paranormalist H. I. T. Men team. Were the H.I. T. Men led back to the scene by a ghost?

Donna Santos of Barkhamsted, CT, says, "My horses are very happy now that the paranormal society has finished its work. They're not scared anymore." What was scaring Santos' horses? How were the horses switching from stall to stall each night without any help unlatching the stall gates? What caused the cat's dish to change locations? And what did the Northwest Connecticut Paranormal Society do at Santos' farm that stopped the spooky incidents?
Here's a link to the article:

That is a very interesting case. I think I'm going to try to watch that special on Animal Planet next week! Any thoughts or ideas regaring the horses moving to different stalls?
Hi Gary,
Taking the Santos family's description of the events at face value, I have no explanation for the movement of their horses. Strange, isn't it? However, we can't rule out the fact that someone was playing tricks on them.
