Ghosts and spirits aren't everybody's fancy, but a group of paranormal experts kept an open mind while visiting the historic Shorter Mansion in Eufaula.
The mansion is long-believed to be the site of paranormal activity. A few News Three staffers agreed to go along for the hunt.
News Three arrived at the shorter mansion during a thunderstorm. The weather couldn't have been more ideal for a ghost hunt.
Soon after we arrived, we joined members of Southern Paranormal Researchers, a volunteer group devoted to connecting with spirits.
Caretaker Glenn Kasper ... That's Kasper with a "K" ... Has been watching over the historic house for three years.
“I don't believe in ghosts, I don't disbelieve in ghosts, but there are many things that are unexplained. I have never seen the ghost but I have heard it,” Kasper said.
Much to Kasper's surprise, it didn't take five minutes before we got ... something.
Investigators said a pendulum helps communicate with spirits. Right to left meant "yes" and back to front meant "no". They also used this electromagnetic field detector. Investigators said the higher the number, the stronger the presence of a spirit.
“Tonight's been a pretty decent investigation so far. We've made contact with a couple of entities who seem to have connections to this house, it's been a little more active than we hoped or expected,” said Chris Perry with southern paranormal investigators.
One of those so-called entities was Fannie Shorter Upshaw, a direct descendent of original house owner, Eli Shorter.
