The idea of going aboard a possibly haunted battleship and spending most of the night there in the dark might sound like a bad idea to some people.

with so much history aboard the battleship north Carolina. It is not surprising that it has become a hot spot for paranormal investigators. Our reputation probably got out with being haunted because of Danny Bradshaw. He was a night watchman here on board the ship for over 30 years and he wrote a book, ghosts on the battleship North Carolina. Right now, we have paranormal groups who come almost every weekend for an investigation. On the weekend of the azalea festival. This year I was able to join local ghost hunters, the ghost guild for an overnight investigation of the battleship. So shortly after the Azalea Festival fireworks display, we went to work exploring the boat. Investigators think that activity on the boat will be higher after fireworks because the sounds mimic noises heard in combat. The majority of the equipment that we rely on our like more like data loggers. Um, so there are devices that will collect environmental readings such as humidity, pressure temperature, electromagnetic fields and over time as we collect the data and have those experiences were hoping to kind of establish or identify patterns, investigations are not like what you see on tv. There's a lot of downtime sitting in the dark, recording audio and asking questions and even singing to see if any of the spirits on the ship will respond While my night on the battleship was a little quiet. There have been other investigations where things literally went bump in the night. We had two of our investigators in the sick bay and um they were in there doing an EVP session. Just the process of asking questions and seeing if those responses on a recorder. And they heard a sound that was like a metallic sound. And so they asked, can you do that again and then once again you hear what sounds like bedsprings like hit some something or someone hitting bedsprings and they're the only ones in that room were still dumbfounded. We, we can't explain it yet. The ghost killed is still going over the data collected during their most recent investigation. But NElson said that preserving the history of places like the battleship are a huge focus of their mission. Kathy Hanrahan, W. R. A. L. News Wilmington's.
