Ghostbusters

Angela and Alan Lowe of Little Rock — founders of Spirit Seekers Paranormal Investigation Research and Intervention Team (SPIRIT), a Little Rock based nonprofit charitable organization — visited Suffolk, Va., this week to tape an hour long episode of the Discovery Channel’s A Haunting.

 The show was shot on a set instead of the actual house so as not to disturb those living in the house. (It seems that ship has already sailed).

 The Lowes’ show focuses on their investigation of a privately owned antebellum home in Lamar. Owners of the home, which even has its own cemetery, reported unusual events, including a mist forming in the kitchen, voices and an overall “feeling of uneasiness,” and Spirit Seekers intervened. The Lowes report on their Web site, www.thespiritseekers.org:
“Our investigation did reveal the presence of several spirits, one or more of them were not the type a person wants to encounter.” So they performed a “cleansing.” Afterward, the home’s owners reported there’s been a sense of peace inside the house ever since. But the outside still needs some work.
The episode, which features several scenes of Arkansas shot by the show’s crew in December, airs next fall.
As for Spirit Seekers, who’ve also investigated reported hauntings at the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, it’s interesting to note they have a sense a humor. One of their tag lines on their Web site? “If you see us run, you may want to keep up.”
