Ghost Hunters still at it after seven years and some scary experiences

By HOLLY LOEFFLER-Times Reporter

TROY - Jason Gowin, Nick Foust, Bill Angov, Greg Newkirk and Milton Clark are a team that often works the graveyard shift - a team of ghost hunters that is. All five paranormal investigators are from the Troy area and they call themselves Ghost Hunters Inc. They have been involved in paranormal investigation for the last seven years.

It began when Foust and a couple of his friends planned a sojourn to a nearby graveyard. Additional forays into paranormal investigating only piqued their interest and Ghost Hunters Inc. was born. It wasn't always easy and at times it was downright scary, but curiosity has continued to bring them back for more.

"For the first five years... No, okay. It still goes on. Like for the first five years of our ghost hunting, it was hear a noise, see something, run away. That was just how we did it. It was the Scooby Doo method of ghost hunting. You see it, you go," said Gowin.

They have come a long way since then. They use newer equipment and have found that the more serious they have become about ghost hunting, the more paranormal experiences they have had.

"We've checked out places from Maryland up to New York state. We've checked out everything from abandoned churches to abandoned mental institutions to cemeteries," said Gowin.

It is from these places they have collected seven years worth of stories.

"Barclay Cemetery in Canton on Barclay Mountain. It's an old forgotten cemetery in an old mining town. We were up there looking around and we heard this 'cling' like something hitting just a rock. Like a metal on rock sound. Everyone was like, 'Wait. Did you hear that? What the heck was that?' Then Greg said, 'Oh my gosh. This is a mining town.' And a second later you could just hear this plain--as-day 'ting.' Just like a pick axe hitting something," said Foust.

As they recall their adventures, one can see the wheels of time turning back in their minds, and their eyes take on something of a vacant look as they watch memories play like a film.

"In one house in Granville we went to, I looked out the window and I thought it was Bill standing outside, and I asked, 'Why is Bill standing outside?' and then Bill, from behind me, said, 'I'm not outside.' And we went outside where I saw the person standing and there were no footsteps in the snow," said Gowin.

This sounds like the same group that had a show on the Discovery channel last year. I hear it will be back this fall. If it is the same group, and I think it is, they were very interesting to watch.

Foust... interesting name for a ghost hunter!

Well.....ghost hunters.....that would be an interesting job...would it not?....can't say that i would want to do it though. We've had some spooky stuff happen around here......but i've never actually seen a ghost .....i'd pass out if i did i am sure.

Me, I think it would actually be fun to be a ghost hunter, but i don't think i would want to be one for a career... hmm wonder how much would be for the salary!?!

[Marajadex]

I found a picture of a ghost in my vacation photos.
When I had my film developed from a trip to Colonial Williamsburg I found one image that has to be a ghost, It is a photo of a part of the Armory. In the picture there is the image of a soldiers back and shoulder. You could almost imagin he was cleaning weapons...

wow! Any chance of scanning it and showing it to us?

Sounds cool

[Marajadex]

Probably not for a while. All my photos and stuff are shoved away in a storage unit. I will keep my eyes open for it as I get the place cleaned out. If I can get off my ass I will b placing tons of stuff on e-bay!!!!!! LOL!!! Yeah right!!! Me get my shit up on e-bay!!!

[Red_Shift]

Wooooo!

This is it folks! your first time to buy some Official Marajadex merchendise!


What sorta stuff you gonna sell? Cause im a bit stupid when it comes to ebay, see an item, sit there trying to weigh up its worth (Will this item improve my life?) Get nervous that someone else may be thinking the same as me, nervous turns to scared (yes, yes and hates leeds to the dark side blah blah ) and then without thinking rationally i click buy..Buy..BUY!....BUY! *&$%"$! and i will then spend the rest of my day, possibly week (depends how much i spent ) justifying the purchase in my own mind...........

Yes thats right, I EVEN manged to justify buying the Algerian Mule! Unfortunatly that died in transit and is now lay in my bedroom, really starting to stink up the place.........
