I’m such a big fan of the television show Ghost
Hunters. I’ve watched it since its very
first episode. And seeing TAPS
investigate places nearby like St. Augustine’s lighthouse and Savannah,
Georgia, is always a thrill. I think,
‘Wow, they were practically in my backyard!’
And I wish I could meet them.
Geek girl alert!
One of my favorite episodes was when TAPS investigated the
U.S.S. North Carolina, a battleship in permanent dock as a museum in
Wilmington, N.C. I’m a native of North
Carolina, and I’ve visited Wilmington and the battleship a number of
times. I’d never heard of it being
haunted, but the Ghost Hunters found plenty to scratch their heads over on that
little trip.
Then a short time ago, my cousin Debi who lives in Wilmington
and works at the local newspaper told me, “Oh yeah, I was there. The guys were really cool! Steve (one of the investigators) took a lot
of time to talk with me. Super nice
guy.”
Oh, evil envy. How it
reared its ugly head at that moment.
Debi not only got to interview members of TAPS and take pictures, she
even did a little investigating with them!
She saw and heard some really strange stuff, which she told me about
with unmitigated glee. Some people have all the luck.
