Things That Go Bump In The Night
Karen Shillings is the director of Central Arkansas Society for Paranormal
Research, or CASPR, "We're speaking to those that are no longer in your
earthly body." Around every corner, under ever bed, in every nook
and cranny, CASPR ghost hunters investigate the USS Razorback, hoping to see
spirits.
"We're asking you to give us a sign that you can hear us and see
us," says Shillings.
With cameras rolling, and temperature gauges in hand, Shillings says having
the lights off is ideal for tuning into the supernatural world.
"I feel like something just socked me in the stomach right here,"
says Shillings.
This is the second time the CASPR group has come to the submarine on a ghost
hunt.
Shillings says, "I actually have felt, you know, the hairs stand on end
and felt a presence here."
But seeing a ghost or hearing voices has yet to happen.
Shillings explains, "Is the submarine haunted? Perhaps. Or maybe it's
just something following us around."
Up on deck, submarine director Greg Stitz says he's never had a close
encounter of another worldly kind, but he has heard strange, unexplainable
noises.
"There's been times standing on deck and the alarm goes off and then
when you go open the hatch and go down in boat it quits, which is a little
unnerving," says Stitz.
For the CASPR team, there's no question the alarm is evidence of some sort
of life beyond death.
Shillings explains, "If there is no explanation for it at all and it
can't physically be set off without touching something or without someone
moving past it, then you've got to say well it's unexplained paranormal
activity."
And while it's unexplainable for now, Shillings says it may only be a matter
of time before a ghost presents itself in image form.
Shillings says she hopes to return with her team to the Razorback and spend
the night. She says activity is most likely to happen in the early morning
hours.
