'Ghost Hunters' Called into Air Force Base

The Air Force conducts some of its most advanced science at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, outside of Dayton, Ohio. So you'd expect the place to be a hotbed of rationality -- immune to supernatural hocus-pocus.

Instead, the base has called in The Atlantic Paranormal Society, from the SciFi Channel show Ghost Hunters, to investigate long-standing reports of ghostly activity. According to a base press release:

*Workers have reported phenomena which they cannot explain such as hearing footsteps, voices and seeing apparitions
- specifically one of a little boy in building 219 and one of an older woman in building 70. *

Carolyn Kugle, with the Air Force Materiel Command Logistics Support
Office, who works in building 70 in Area C, has had some unexplained experiences in the building's warehouse and office. Recently she conducted her own informal investigation.

"It was very exciting when it [the experience] first happened to me.
I've watched Ghost Hunters so much I knew to ask a question of it," she said. "I hope they find some evidence. I can't even describe the excitement. It's thrilling..."

TAPS arrival to Wright-Patterson marks the first Ghost Hunters investigation at an active military installation as well as the largest investigation they have performed.*
