Before I became a member of the museum, there was Ghost chasers that came through our museum room and toured our C-123. They said the museum room itself had presences, but the 123 showed the most activity. And it was around the seat that the old loadmaster (I believe he was the loadmaster, again before my time) would always sit in while traveling.
God, don't even get me started on this stuff. How about those shows, they go to a spooky place at night, with bad night vision, talk about 'cold' it is, and that proves anything?
I have one word for these ghost hunter types which, in my mind proves they don't really believe it:
Auschwitz Say what? Think on it, imagine a crew going there with their NV at night doing this shtick. The locals would re-enact the ending of "Frankenstein," -torches and all- at the mere thought of doing something that disrespectful! And yet, if there really are tangible ghosts out there, surely, wouldn't they be there if anywhere?
It makes me sick to the gut to see what they've done at Gettysburg, and the only reason anyone tolerates that is because nobody's around who was there at the time (and very few people today have even talked with someone who had fought there). If my uncle (AAF pilot, passed in the 50s) had flown a specific plane that still existed and someone started this ghost nonsense around it, he'd soon find that the
living are to be feared, especially a nephew who's had enough of this crap.
I find it insulting to the memory of vets to go play ghostbusters every time a piece of metal makes a groaning sound or someone feels a draft (
in an airplane, what are the freaking chances of that, right?
). Those who have gone before deserve more than that.
