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.”
