Paranormal Investigation In Manitou Springs

Manitou Springs, Colorado - Aug. 27 2007 - Paranormal investigators are looking into reports of strange activity in several Manitou Springs businesses. Mike Olson is a local Private Investigator turned Ghost Hunter. He says, "What I say to the skeptics is definitely give us a call and come out with us and I will make a believer out of you!" He uses the latest video and audio recording equipment to try to collect scientific evidence to prove paranormal activity. They have not yet found any evidence from their weekend search, but Olson says they are still investigating.

Some workers at "Mushroom Monday" in Manitou Springs say they have all the proof they need. Jay Carson is a long time employee, who says customers report seeing the figure of a man appear out of nowhere several times over the past 16 years. They describe the figure they call "Charlie", as a scruffy bearded man dressed in period clothes from the 1800's. Carson says, "There was a little girl at the end of the counter talking and giggling. Her mother asked her what she was doing, and she said talking to that man. Of course no one was there." Carson recalls another incident, "I was outside watering the flowers out front and some lady went in and came back out and I asked her if she needed some help and she said, no I just left the mail with the man inside. I knew there wasn't anyone in the store, it wasn't even open yet."
