(See a post-show review below)
If you are a paranormal nut, don’t forget to watch an episode of the SyFy Channel on April 6. The feature is a story the “Ghost Busters” filmed over at Ft. Knox.
“Residual Haunts” is the name of the show on Ghost Busters. A fund-raiser and public screening of the episode at Ft. Knox will take place on April 6, 7:30-10pm. at the Bucksport Golf Club, Rt. 46, in Bucksport.
Sponsored by Friends of Fort Knox, you will be able to meet the people who have reported on the paranormal activities at the fort as well as enjoy a screening of the show on big-screen TV.
Advance tickets are $7; $10 the night of the show. Purchase your tickets by calling 469-6553 or by stopping by the Friends office at Fort Knox. There will be snacks and a cash bar.
Hosts Amy Bruni and Grant Wilson will present their investigation findings in a section of the show called “the reveal.” Show time here in Georgia is 9:00 p.m. on the SyFy Channel, Check your listings where you live. I'll be watching and will add more comments after I see the show.
The show taped activities at the fort in February of this year. They were brave to be up there in the middle of the winter I’m thinking. I don’t know what the condition of the roads are up there right now, so maybe you’d do better to watch it on TV.
Post-Show Review
Spooky, huh? It sure looked cold in the middle of winter over at the old fort. The hosts said they would like to come back up in the summer. I hope they do. Now I know what you were all going through up there this winter. It snowed a lot throughout the program.
As I remember the fort, I can see low ceilings and claustrophobic rooms. I wouldn't have lasted two minutes to investigate anything, especially not at night. They did come across a lot of unexplained noises and a couple of apparitions didn't they. Evidently, if you believe in paranormal events, what they came up against were "residual hauntings." By that they mean that these paranormal events are on-going. The ghosts or beings involved have just been hanging out throughout the years since the civil war and our border disputes with the British; and they are not really interested in associating or communicating with us mere mortals.
It was a fun show and I'm glad I got to watch it. I'd be interested to know if anyone was able to go up that way last night and see the screening live and talk to the hosts. I would like to record your impressions here. Anyone?
A Brief History of Fort Knox
The Fort was designed by Chief Engineer Joseph Totten with a number of other engineers serving as superintendents of construction from 1844 - 1869, among them Isaac Ingalls Stevens and Thomas L. Casey. The Fort was named for Major General Henry Knox, America's first Secretary of War, who was born in Boston but retired to Thomaston, Maine in 1796. The Fort garrisoned its first troops from 1863 to 1866. These troops were mostly volunteers undergoing training before being sent to their active posts and included members of the celebrated 20th Maine. Troops were also briefly stationed at the Fort during the Spanish American war in 1898, but never saw military action.
