Ghost hunters
Those of you who have popped in here and there may remember this call of paranormal activity at an old building in town. If not, check it out - I'll wait.
Done? Okay good.
The other night, we got an alarm for the same building. I got there first and watched the building while I waited in the shadows for backup to arrive. The alarm siren was blaring at the rear of the structure. I observed a figure move across several of the windows on the second floor, back lit by the hallway lights. Once backup arrived, we started in.
The front door was unlocked, but the alarm active. Systematically, we began clearing the building. We could hear footsteps on the second floor - Deja vu. As we proceeded up the stairwell, and started clearing the darkened rooms on the second floor, my flashlight started to strobe, went dim and then died. This is unusual. When it dies, my LED Stinger normally just gets dimmer until it goes out. To get the strobe function to work, you have to manually press the button quickly.
We finished checking the building and, just like the previous time, found nothing. We spent 35 minutes checking and double checking. We looked under desks, in tiny closets, and cabinets. We searched bathroom stalls, large paper shredding bins, and in every nook and cranny we could think, regardless if a person could fit there or not. Nada. Zip, Zero Zilch.
As we walked outside to await the arrival of a key holder, my partner said "Hey you're flashlight just popped on." I looked down and sure enough, my Stinger was now shining bright as could be in the holster. I took it out, clicked it off and back on again without a problem.
Of course, none of this stuff makes the report because who wants to get sent to the psychologist who is a skeptic and be labeled a nut job or worse, be put on medication that you don't need.

We searched the interior of the building, finding no signs of criminal activity. The building was left secure. No further.
Yikes!
My wife watches 'Ghost Hunters' on the tube. I keep telling her they need a true forensic expert in order to round out the team.
I had some similar experiences when I was in Germany. Our barracks and base were formerly occupied by the Nazis.
I'm not a religious person, but I do believe that living things contain energy. Energy just doesn't disappear, it's gotta go somewhere.
Im with B&R here....call in Ghost Hunters.
ANd YES, at the time of death, for some strange reason, the human body loses several OUNCES of weight...(not physical bodily fluid loss either).
Go figure.
