Frontier City, more than just a Fright Fest?
Growing up, I have always heard that Frontier City was really haunted, not just at Halloween. Outside of being one of the best playgrounds in Oklahoma, for all ages. I have heard that when the lights go down and the people and staff clear out the park seems to take on a life of it’s own. Over the past eleven years, I have received a handful of emails stating “come and investigate Frontier City, it’s really haunted!” Well, I finally took it serious. While visiting one of Oklahoma’s most popular adventure destinations with my family a few weeks ago, I decided to ask around to see if the legends were true. The staff mentioned several places of interest to us. From the old Nightmare ride to the Wildcat Roller coaster. While combing through the historical archives, we found not much of anything to validate the spooky tales and locations we were directed too, but I did notice that some aspects of Frontier City has an untraceable background as some of the attractions were moved from other locations across the nation. As a researcher, It is helpful to a case when there are unfortunate mishaps to blame, but we only found a couple instances as to why the legends are born in the first place. The park does hold secrets, I will not deny that.
We spoke with the Marketing Director of Frontier City and arranged for us to come out and conduct an investigation of the entire park. We were able to talk with staff members and to get their stories as to what locations spooked them out the most and where the ” haunted places” were. After our interviews, the entire GHOULI team and EerieOK team split up, rules and maps in hands and ventured out on our own to see if we could witness any of the strange events taking place at Frontier City.
It was a nice cool evening, a full moon supplied us with light as we ventured around the park. I will admit, we all made several mentions of this particular investigation, being one those based off the Scooby Doo cartoon. All we were missing was old man Smithers, menaced property owner that was doing nothing but trying to hide his stock pile of fools gold. This was probably the first investigation where I noticed both teams sporting a child like grin the entire time. No matter how hard we tried, even as adults, Frontier City has a magic of it’s own. It’s just one of those places you want to be, day or night, haunted or not.
The Frontier City Staff was more than helpful as they led us around to forgotten places within the park and the “hot spots” pointed out by previous teams and staff members. Old childhood memories flooded in as we seen artifacts from yesteryear hidden and stored away. The rumors of ghosts and strange events focused on several rides and attractions. The GHOULI and EerieOK team had focus on “energy” during this investigation. The theory that stored energy of the past can generate images, sensations, feelings and even anxiety that leaks into today’s atmosphere, causing the haunting. What better place to test the “energy theory” than the highly active theme park!
Our goal was to get residual accounts of paranormal phenomenon. We desired to get ghostly thrill ride screams, children’s laughter and the occasional child crying, because he did not get cotton candy of course. All teams were armed with tools such as flashlights, thermometers, walkie talkies, video cameras, digital cameras, audio equipment and several types of meters. Each team rotated around the park to different hot spots and to locations where we found historical significance. We would meet up in between rounds to discuss any happenings or events that needed further investigating. As the evening went on, we had discovered we covered the entire park as well as we could. Investigations are not about camping out, we all felt that our time there was plenty to obtain what we wished to collect.
The evening grew colder and it was getting late. Only a handful of us had something “strange” take place and in some locations, it was unanimous as to where. A few days later, audio samples were being turned in. To our surprise, we were able to collect a handful of interesting EVP’s in some areas of the park. Were they the energy based thrill ride voices that we were after? Not really. The video below will highlight some of our findings from the park. The audio clips that were taken, compared and scrutinized by everyone from both teams. Are they ghosts? We are not sure, but they are unexplainable voices, caught on tape from the locations that we all had previously agreed to hold that “I was not alone in there” factor.
Our findings were a big surprise to us. None of us really made contact with anything that seemed to be menacing or angry of our presence as rumored. The hot spots deemed by another local team, well, we found our results to not collaborate entirely with their findings. Random? Perhaps. Hard core haunted? Not really, but just enough to add a little spice to the parks reputation of thrilling adventures. I will not report of the deadly mishaps we discovered regarding this parks past mainly out of respect for the families. But also, we will keep our historical findings to ourselves as we monitor other teams progress. Will they discover what we discovered? We will monitor the parks historical haunting’s from afar and see who is actually doing their homework and offering their findings for comparative data research.
Just this past weekend, I ventured to Frontier City with my friends and family to enjoy Fright Fest. This is one of our families past times and we never miss a year. Frontier City offers a fantastic time for families during the Halloween Season. We headed out to experience this years haunted house theme, Rotsville, Mental Asylum and to ride some rides and enjoy the park as it is decorated to the max for the Halloween season. As we were getting in line to grab our tickets to the haunted house, we noticed a paranormal team had what appeared to be a booth set up. We ventured over to see what was going on.
The local team MAPS had one of their ghost hunting fleet cars on display, surrounded by rope light. They had a tent and a glass casing full of ghost hunting tools and gadgets. They also had a collection of books that featured the author Hans Holzer on display. They had light up t-shirts for sale for $40 as well. The shirts were sound activated and perfect for some underground rave trance party. Walking up to the team, I noticed they utilized the infamous K2 Meters. I had to ask, “Does your team use these?” the guy in charge proudly answered “Yes, we do“. I challenged him, asking him all kinds of questions about the meter. That particular meter is public enemy #1 in the paranormal field. It was introduced on a popular TV show and has been tossed aside by legitimate researchers across the nation. People are no longer utilizing the meters, mainly because of outside interference. It’s been documented and tested that even cell phone receptions from up to a mile away can cause the meter to fluctuate, confusing uneducated ghost hunters into assuming it’s some kind of ghostly activity. We didn’t spend a lot of time with them at that moment, as we had to grab our tickets for the haunted house. After grabbing our tickets and some roasted corn, we sat and discussed the paranormal team we had just talked with. We finally realized that it was the team that investigated the park over a year ago. We decided to go back and to talk to them, in hopes of possibly validating some of the EVP’s we obtained during our investigation. I approached a woman in a MAPS t-shirt and asked her if they were able to obtain any evidence of the parks ghostly reputation. She stated that they had obtained an EVP in the Gun Show area of the park. I asked if I could hear it, or if it was on the Internet anywhere. I stated to her that I would like to compare the voice to voices we collected during our investigation. To my surprise, she told me that I needed to attend the 10pm Gun Show to hear the EVP as it’s not going to be offered anywhere else. I mentioned that if we could get out of the Haunted house in time, we would venture over, but in case we missed it, if it was possible for us to hear the EVP anywhere. She stepped back and had the lead of the team over to speak with me. I found this to be odd. Generally, when a team has placed themselves in the public for display, they are more than willing to answer questions. As the leader came over, I started to ask why their evidence was not open for peer review or collaborative research. All he told me was “It’s our choice not to”. As a researcher, it is imperative, especially in locations investigated by two separate teams to share evidence. It helps build a stronger case for both teams and the location. It’s also a good thing to have back up, when it comes to making claims as to proof of the afterlife. I started to ask many questions as to this teams protocol, they have the word “Science” in their title and I ask what was their scientific approach. They stated to me “To collect evidence in one place, go back and collect it again, in the same place, from the same entity”. This is the standard scientific protocol of most teams, but most teams realize it is almost impossible to replicate. I ask the team leader if the EVP they are playing during the gun show had been scrutinized under their protocol, he said “no, it has not”. He also explained to me that they do research for their own personal use. The general public and other teams are not to be privileged to their findings. I asked them why they were advertising at the park, with their cars, booth and t-shirts, I was told that they were invited by the park. Well, that’s fine and dandy, but I didn’t understand the privacy factor they gave me, and the blatant advertising they were displaying. Back to the evidence. I explained my questions on several occasions. It seemed to make them uncomfortable that I was asking them about their experiences at the park. As a researcher, I just wanted some validation in the audio samples we obtained. They refused to talk more about it and encouraged us to join them at the Gun Fight at 10pm to hear the mysterious EVP. Click here to watch the MAPS video posted for the public on their myspace page. (Scientific indeeed!)
10 o’clock arrived and we made a mad dash to the Gun Show. The show was fantastic, with a great Halloween story line, lots of action, fire and cool stunts. After the show, one of the actors invited everyone to sit down and wait for a moment. He stated to the crowd that he was a member of the MAPS team and that they conduct investigations all over. He stated “We are just like TAPS on TV” several times in his speech. He stated to the crowd that the Gun Show set was a “paranormal hot spot” and they have obtained an EVP to share with the crowd. Everyone confusingly sat patiently to listen. The audio clip they had prepared was not working for some reason. The actor continued to talk about the MAPS team and how they were just like TAPS from TV. Eventually, the sound person declared that the EVP was not going to play and the EVP can be heard on the website. For a group of scientists, I found this to be unacceptable. I remembered, that I was told (many times) that they do not put anything on the website for the public and never will, but anyway, the crowd filtered out quickly to get that last ride in before the park closed. We stood at the entrance to listen to what the public was saying about the ghostly claims made by this actor/ghost hunter. What were they saying? Nothing, nothing at all.
My previous blog was about Ghost Hunting teams and the Halloween season. The general public does brush off our research as just another Halloween trick. Comparing oneself to a popular TV show on the Science Fiction channel never is a good thing either. Once pumpkins and zombies enter the picture, the concept of being “serious researchers, just like on TV” goes right out the window, now on to that next caramel apple and roller coaster!
Frontier City is a magical place for Oklahomans. Is it haunted? We will leave that up to you. But for the many late night staff members, there is no question to what they have witnessed. It was real to them. Our small pieces of evidence just added to the case and to a very fun investigation. It was our privilege to be able to investigate such a legendary location in the state of Oklahoma. Is Frontier City Haunted? We will leave that up to you as you venture out this Halloween for your thrills and chills of the season. No matter what you believe, we invite you to take a second look the next time you are at Frontier City… Go ahead and peek into the dark corners of the park and quietly tell your children why the park never closes. This time of year it is fantastic to enjoy ghostly tales from our great state, but remember, the more stories you tell, the Halloween memories grow stronger.
Sincerely,

Thank you for joining our conversation on paranormal eyes. We encourage your discussion but ask that you stay within the bounds of our commenting and posting policy.

Sweet! Sounds like you had a great time. I had to laugh at the as seen on tv. The last thing I bought that was “as seen on TV” was a disaster!!
If I ever get to that area I will check that place out!
hehee….They have “science” in their name.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the photos from the video. I want to visit this place next time I’m in OK!!!!!
Tonya,
We think that this article speaks volumes at the need for peer review. As we have discussed many times in the past, investigative groups must begin to accept some level of accountability and you were right on target when asking them for a sample.
This is not only necessary for future investigations and research, but just a general professional courtesy. We say, “job well done!”
The Paranormal Consortium
Awesome! I worked at Frontier City many moons ago and it was in the “shows” I was helping clean one night in the Oprea area and there was a loud boom noise where a table and chair was knocked over in the upstairs balcony, the guy that was helping me and I were on the ground floor he went up to see what happened and I stayed below and no one else was in there….. I know that place is haunted!!
Wished I had known you were doing this location Tonya…I worked at the park as overnight security when I was 21…also did medic and park security as needed..it is indeed a rather creepy place at night……
Yes it is. Do you have any stories to share Russ? There are a lot of wildlife out there, skunks, possum, raccoons and so on. One thing we did witness was the Train signs going off on their own, they are triggered by motion, we did see some critters out there.
Another OKC icon to explore! An expectation of highest level protocals and rigorous application of logic have to go hand-in-hand with any type of research. Raise the bar – raise the credibility.
Are you kidding me, Amanda? The groups on television are legitimate. I have met several of them at different conferences. They are the most real honest people ever. I do not believe for a minute that what they present on TV is faked or just for entertainment. They are doing the paranormal community a service by acknowledging what we do and bringing it to the mainstream genertal public. It has become more acceptable to discuss ghosts and everyone does not think you are crazy anymore. I think what you said is proof that skeptics are closed minded and that you probably know nothing about which you speak.
Patsy,
I have over 11 years in the field of paranormal research, more than those that have been seen on TV. I am a believer and a skeptics it can be done! I find it interesting that just because you meet these “nice folks” at events where you are pouring money into their pockets (TV based conferences ARE expensive!) they are being nice to you, because they want to keep their fans and the money rolling in. Would you allow your son or daughter to date one of VH1′s “Rock of Love” or “Tool Academy” cast members? They were on TV so they are great people right?
Tonya,
You are missing the point. The people that are on “Rock of Love” or “Tool Academy” are simply exploiting themselves for 15 minutes of fame. The people doing paranormal shows like Jason and Grant and Ryan and Chip are the real deal. They have all been researching for years. They are scientific in their methods and approaches because they genuinely search for causes and when they don’t find a logical reason, they know it is ghosts. They have communicated using various methods with scientific tools and EVP methods. Skeptics are closed minded individuals so I do not hardly see how you can claim to be both a believer and a skeptic at the same time. One cannot be both. Lastly, no one wants to have their evidence peer reviewed anymore, especially by skeptics because of undue harsh criticisms. A non-believer will always discount anything presented to them, regardless of the scientific nature behind it.
I see your point, and it’s not missed. With all due respect, all reality shows are the same. They are for entertainment. As Bret Michaels does not really “love” the women exploiting themselves on the show, it’s all a big lie and scripted. All reality shows have a script. It’s show business. I do have to ask because you stated that no one wants peer review due to the possibility of harsh criticism is false. If I told you that you should not wear a particular pair of pants, because they amplified your body in a not so natural way, you would not accept it? You would just wear the pants and deal with looking stupid to the rest of the world? None of the shows on TV are actually utilizing a “scientific” method. Basics of said method is to have the event reoccur to validate the first claim. On the TV shows, they take what they can grab thenon to the next location. I am a believer, but I am not an ignorant one. I do not believe everything I see on TV. And no, the Sham Wow did not change my life as it promised.
Now that’s a stretch. From scietific ghost hunting to Sham Wow? That’s a stretch. If you are skeptical, then that means you are closed off to the possibility of unexplainable things. As far as your opinon of my fashion sense, that doesn’t even compare to critically judging my paranormal evidence. If I have you listen to my EVP and you were not there to experience what we experienced at the same time we captured the EVP, how do you know it is not paranormal or unexplainable? You don’t. What makes you the higher power to superiority judgement? What gives you the right? What makes you an authority if you weren’t there to know what happened? Or my photos? How do you know that an anomoly within a photo is something else when you weren’t there to expereince what was going on? You don’t. In my opinion, peer review is overrated. You cannot pass judgement on somethig that you did not experience. Besides, if I were to allow peer review, I would want an expert in the field to do it and not just some everyday joe who claims to have supreme experiences or judgements to invalidate what I have worked so hard at all these years in collecting my evidence.
If you believe that what you see on TV is real, then you should be open minded enough to believe that a Sham Wow is life changing. Some people believe it changed their lives… who are you o tell them otherwise.
Just because one or two people feel something is unexplainable, does not make it so. There are millions of children that believe in Santa Claus, does not make him real.
As for photos, do you send them to a real photographer or do you just look for odd things in pictures and claim them to be ghosts? Same with EVP. You were not on the set of whatever TV show you are defending, so why is it hard for you to believe that things are staged for entertainment purposes, but you will believe that yokels on a Science Fiction cable network are proving the existence of life after death? You were not there. But I do believe in such things as “Staging crews” aka “set coordinators” as you will see as the TV production credits roll after the show.
Just because YOU might not be able to explain it, does not mean that there is not someone out there smarter than you that can explain it. Do you believe that there are smarter people than you in this world?
These TV shows do not use science in any way, shape, or form. They use technology and gadgetry as do most ghost hunting teams. Not to mention the fishing line…
Peer review is integral to the scientific method. You never see these TV shows practicing peer review because their evidence is faked for entertainment purposes. More ghost hunting teams need to learn scientific methodology before throwing the term ‘science’ around.
Skeptics do not necessarily disbelieve but go by true facts rather than a confirmation bias, like the crusaders of belief. There is a difference between skeptics and cynics. Just as cynics are closed-minded, believers can be equally close-minded when they crouch in fear from things like peer review and critical analysis.
Very interesting conversation. I enjoy watching Ghost Hunters. I enjoy it because it’s entertaining. I’ve done my share of real “ghost hunting” and it is not nearly as entertaining as a tv show about it. Real ghost hunting involves hours of patiently waiting, hours of evidence review, and hours of research, and if done right, yes, peer review. That would make for a pretty boring tv show. Ghost Hunters the show is entertaining because Steve is afraid of everything alive, because the locations are facinating, and because they play jokes on each-other. It’s entertainment pure and simple. My feeling, some of the evidence they get is real, just by chance alone they have to have picked up something real in the amazing historic places they investigate. Does that mean everything is real? Not by a long-shot. I have watched the show since the beginning and things have changed over the years. In the first season, it seemed as though half of their investigations came up empty. Does that happen now? No, they either acheive amazing experiences and evidence, or they play super-smart debunkers. What should be noted in my opinion, is that half of their “debunking” skills are nothing more than misunderstanding what they were told. Everyone should know the difference between a “musky smell” and a “musty smell.” They don’t even utilize their ability to rewind and figure out if they’re debunking the right thing. If you simply can’t accept that some of their evidence is faked for entertainment value, then at least realize that if they were really professional in their ivestigating skills, they would debunk actual events, not make up easy answers to the wrong problem.
Hi Randy,
Why would anyone get “banned” from anywhere? Nobody is making a joke out of anything. If you find this blog to be humorous, that was not my intention. I visited the park with my family. I have our report (as promised to the park) on this blog. You should understand what “publicity” is…same as the Maps team was in the public eye. I do apologize that you are offended by the contents of this blog. But I do not apologize for the good advice that is being offered here. Comparing research is imperative in this field. When I was given reasons as to why this team chose not to do so, I found it offensive and an embarrassment to the field of paranormal research. That is my opinion and a lot of people do agree.
As for getting “banned” from a theme park for future investigations, if you have a hand in the MAPS techniques and “professional” mannerisms, that is a reflection on the MAPS team. So be it. The team park was profiled on a positive level and I have nothing but good thoughts toward the park as a patron. What happened outside of our fantastic night during Fright Fest was strictly a report. Through my “eyes”. Perhaps teams that put themselves in the public eye should be more prepared to talk to the public. I am the public, and oh, just so happens I am a paranormal researcher that thrives for a better field to work in.
I was told by the team that they do not work with other local teams, due to drama. Drama is staking claim on “territory”, many teams do it. I am not a gang member or some gun slinging outlaw. I do not play territory games with people. This is unprofessional and simply 8th grade.
Waste of time. Anyone who does believe in ghosts, UFOs and Big Foot needs to make an appointment with their family shrink.
Patsy,
What you see on those television shows highlighting paranormal claims does not meet the criteria of scientific research. They are not doing “science.” They are entertaining, and often do not even do a very good job of that, in my opinion.
Science is not about wandering around in a dark building with a device with blinky lights, and then jumping to the claim that there is a ghost when one of those lights does something a person deems is “strange.” Science is not about listening to a broken radio and then claiming that the noises are the ghost of Aunt Sally. Science is in the method, not the tools. What you are seeing on television in all of these paranormal tv shows is pseudoscience. Plain and simple.
As far as your claims that skeptics are closed minded, aren’t you closed minded? You have already made up your mind about people who rely upon evidence to make their decisions about the world around them, and you have made it clear that evidence that refutes what you believe will not be taken into consideration. I may be a skeptic, but part of good critical thinking is taking new evidence and information and integrating it into how I view the world. That is NOT being closed minded. It is being a rational and thoughtful human being.
You could learn a lot by listening to the skeptical community and using information they provide when making your own decisions about your “research.”
Your opinion is just that, and what background or evidence to you have other than your “Blessed Statement” that looks like the rallying cry for the mis informed? there is 150 years of parapsychology studies that state that we NOT only sometimes create our own phenomena, but there are even cases that show that the conscience mind could have possibly survived death, but the world is NOT ALL black and white. And in your rose colored world maybe thats safer then having to believe in more than what you see on TV or read in a book….
What an idiot….
You spook believers are the idiots, pal. Just ask any normal person. There is a reason it’s call “Para” normal.
That was awesome, glad we got some interesting things out of there! I’d like to go back and take more pictures!
I will not enter into your game of “eighth grade” name calling and I will not give you words to twist. That is your game. I hear you posess a legal department!
Were you not banned FOR LIFE from FaceBook for inviting other paranormal groups in for “talking shop”, then beating them up with falsehoods and running them out of town for not agreeing with your views?
Randy, I have never been “banned for life” on Facebook, I have an active account. That is false information.
Patsy, your comment “That’s a stretch. If you are skeptical, then that means you are closed off to the possibility of unexplainable things.” is a very misinformed definition of what most skeptics are. There is the extreme skeptic such as Michael Shermer who will never be convinced, then there are those that are open to the possibility but as of yet, have not been convinced. I also challange you to do your research before making statements such as “The people doing paranormal shows like Jason and Grant and Ryan and Chip are the real deal.” I hate to burst your bubble but they to are in for their 15 minutes of fame. Is your opinion based on your 1 hour viewing time each week to tune in?
Patsy – your arguments are laughable. Unless you’re confined to a bed or can’t get out of your home for some reason you have no excuse for being so ignorant. And your outrageous logic that someone can’t believe in ghosts and be skeptical as well? You have a lot to learn and I’m not talking paranormal. (Any idiot can be a “paranormal investigator.” Look at TAPS.)
Randy Spencer – I love your tactic of giving threats and tossing around demeaning lies about someone you don’t agree with. Such an arrogant little brat.
My theory on most of the paranormal people who think they’re dealing in science is this…You have someone who lives a menial existence. They didn’t set the world on fire. They want what everyone else has but can’t get it because it involves a certain amount of intelligence and stamina. So they take to things that are easy, (and respected by other people in the same predicament as them) like “ghost hunting.” They find each other and form a group. They buy a bunch of scientific devices that they have no idea how to use. Most annoyingly, they self apply titles to their names like “Lead Investigator” and “Author and Radio Host” and suddenly their feelings of worthlessness begin to fade. They become overnight experts in a “field” who’s “science” is based on cockamamie theories, nonsensical practices and things that are completely unprovable to date. MAPS sounds like one of these groups of people. Am I wrong? No.
Patsy
As someone who knowes Jason, Grant, Chip, Ryan and the rest of their perspective squads, you are a complete idiot. It is obvious you hold them in high regard but why? What they have done to paranormal research can be compared to what Jack the Ripper did to his victims. Jason and Grant have been busted so many times faking evidence and then lying to cover it up, if I had a nickel for each time they pulled a scam I would be a rich woman. Chip is a complete fraud who has been proven to scam the public at large by claiming to have a degree in psychology from a college that never had a psychology department. Chip is a self proclaimed media whore and if you honestly think he does any of this to help people then it is time for your doctor to increase your dosage!
None of these shows or the new ones coming out soon have the slightest bit of integrity and do not care about anything other than you and the rest of the idiots to keep buying their mechandise and high pricecd event tickets.
It is time to grow up Patsy, the easter bunny and santa are not real either.
To Patsy: Let me explain how one can be skeptical and still believe in paranormal activity. A skeptical believer does not take anything at face value. The look for logical explanations for something deemed as pararnomal. Now, let me define paranormal to you: Paranormal is anything that cannot be logically or scientifically explained. Paranormal does not equal ghosts or anything else that is explainable, thus we call it unexplainable and paranormal. As far as you swearing by your personal experiences, personal experiences mean absolutely nothing in the scientific community. The scientific community wants quantifiable, verifiable data. Verifiable meaning that the test can be run more than once with the same outcome. As far as you believing what you see on TV as being real, get a grip and seek some professional help. Lastly, when you say you met some of what I commonly refer to as paracelebs, you spent all of what, 2 minutes with them getting your picture taken after spending $250 just to go and see them which did not even cover travel or lodging accomodations? That makes you personal friends with them to attest to their personal character? Hmmmm, then I guess I could go down a long line of real celebrities that I have met in my lifetime and I can attest to their personal character. I think not.
Randy: Really? Did you just start vicious stupid rumors here? Tonya and I and our other assocaites ALL have active FB accounts. We are fairly well accepted in most paranormal circles. Play your stupid little territoory games and stupid gossip and leave the real evidence and investigating to people who are not afraid of peer review and criticism.
Toby: Paranormal does not equal abnormal. Get a dictionary and look up the definitions.
Banned from Frontier City? Banned from Facebook? Don’t know anything we’re talking about? Don’t you know who we are? LOL. I do say that a bit tongue in cheek, but clearly you have no idea who you’re talking to. The people offering the intelligent comments here are well versed in this topic as well as respected among their peers. But I guess Tonya was right, research is not your forte.
Maybe you can answer a question I’ve had forever: Who decided that ghosts leave an electromagnetic signature? Who says that detecting an electromagnetic field has anything to do with ghosts at all? It’s like saying that gravity proves the existence of trolls. One thing does not necessarily lead to the other.
Hi Ken,
Nobody really decided that ghosts are linked to electromagnetic anything. That is a Paranormal Myth- and a bad one!!!
The only thing that is has been proven to be linked is that high Electromagnetic Fields have been tested and proven to cause temporary neurological side effects, like hallucinations, dizzy, emotional, anxiety spells and even night tremors. (and more)This has been tested by real scientists.
There is no scientific proof that high EMF levels are related to “ghosts”. Those teams that utilize the meters are offering the illusion of being “scientific” with gadgets.
Great question Ken! And you are 100% right! You are smarter than the average ghost hunter!! 
My comments yesterday were made simply to determine whether you allow dissenting opinions on here. You pass with ease.
Don’t mind alternate opinions. As long as they are presented in a rational manner.
I did find your statement of the video being “cornpone”… Either you are a fan of the Urban Dictionary or that you felt the video was rolled in cornbread? Perhaps served with gravy?
They Tonya,
I listened to the EVP’s and on the last EVP where it is the mans vioce, it sounds like he is sating “DEE”, as if he is calling out to someone. Just my thoughts. Lorie
No, just a little hillbilly silly, Ms. hacker.

I used to work at Frontier City back in the mid 90′s. Back then we used to be told of certain rides being haunted. One specific ride was the main focus of their discussions. It was the Nightmare which was originally the Orange Blossom until a shack was built over it. When I first started there. I was taken through an entrance into the actual chambers where the ride frame was. When the door behind me was closed, it was so dark that you could not see your hand in front of your face. Though I was the only person there, I immediately had the feeling as if someone was looking at me in front of my face. This was before I knew about what was going on. The ride consisted of 2 operators, one in the front with the customers and one in BACK under the ride to watch the tracks. This was where all the MAGIC happened. At the time it was told to me that the E-Stop button was pressed several times. It was fairly dark inside the ride, but there was a part of the track that was lit a bit. It was at the bottom close to the ground. Apparently, the button was hit because a set of legs were seen in the middle of the track, no torso, just a pair of legs with boots. Looked kinda like a construction worker. After the button was pushed, the ride immediately stopped and the room was lit up. Nobody was there at all. Even I was skeptical. After about a month, I was working the kiddy trains and I received a call that my buddy had left there screaming. My buddy, who was one of the assistant managers at the time, was working the back of the Nightmare. He told me that he would never go back to the ride. After asking him about what happened, he told me that everything was ok at first but after a while he started to hear voices. He said that he brushed it off but then the voices started to say his name repeatedly, then something grabbed his arm and then he freaked out. This was just an example of an incident that I knew about having. Another would be that every night I worked there a,fter the park was closed ,you could hear drum beats like a in a pow-wow.
As always, a worthwhile read! I will never cease to be amazed at the things paranormal investigators claim, especially when it comes to what makes them so scientific. As seen on TV is not the same as being a real investigator. It reminds me of those old commericals, “I may not be a real doctor, but I play one on TV…” Wake up America, what is seen on TV is for entertainment purposes only and not what it may appear to be. The job of TV shows is to generate viewers to keep the advertisers paying money to fund the show and earn a profit. IT’S NOT REAL!
