ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS I'M ON MY WAY. GOOD SPINE CHILLING GHOST STORIES ALWAYS IN ORDER THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. SOME HAUNTED HOUSES AND RUMORS OF GHOST SIGHTINGS STIR UP THE IMAGINATION, AS WRAL'S BRIAN MIMS SHOWS US, THERE'S ONE GROUP IN THE TRIANGLE DETERMINED TO ANSWER THE AGE OLD QUESTION, DO GHOSTS WANDER AMONG US? >> IF AROUND HALLOWEEN YOU BUMP INTO PEOPLE WHO LOOK LIKE THEY'VE SEEN A GHOST, MAYBE THEY REALLY HAVE. WE WANTED TO GET THE WORD ON THE STREET. ARE GHOSTS REALLY REAL? >> YEAH. BECAUSE I BELIEVE I SAW ONE IN MY SON'S BASEMENT. >> GHOSTS DO EXIST, AT LEAST IN OUR IMAGINATION. >> I SWEAR I SAW ONE. >> IT'S ONE OF THOSE PERSISTENT QUESTIONS BY MERE MORTALS. >> DO I BELIEVE IN GHOSTS ? NO. PERSONALLY, NO. >> UHM, YES. BECAUSE ANY TIME I GO TO MY FRIEND'S HOUSE, SOMETHING PARANORMAL HAPPENS. >> THE PARANORMAL. THE UNEXPLAINABLE. PEOPLE IN RALEIGH INVESTIGATE THOSE BUMPS IN THE NIGHT. THEY CALL THEMSELVES THE GHOST GUILD. AND THEY'RE A REGISTERED NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION. >> FOR ME, I LIKE TO INVESTIGATE MYSTERIES. >> JOHN-MICHAEL IS ONE OF THE INVESTIGATORS. HIS VERDICT. >> I'VE NEVER FOUND ANY EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THAT GHOSTS EXIST. I'VE ALSO NEVER FOUND ANY EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THAT GHOSTS DON'T EXIST. BUT IT'S A CONTINUAL JOURNEY. >> PLACES THAT SEEM RIPE FOR A GOOD >> DO I BELIEVE IN GHOSTS ? >> NELSON, COFOUNDED THE GHOST GUILD. >> I DON'T KNOW. >> HE SHARED A TALE ABOUT INVESTIGATING AN OLD ASYLUM IN WEST VIRGINIA, ALLEGED TO BE HAUNTED BY THE GHOST OF A LITTLE GIRL. WHEN HE CAME HOME, HIS OWN DAUGHTER AWOKE ON REPEATED NIGHTS CLAIMING TO SEE A GIRL IN HER ROOM. IT'S THINGS LIKE THIS MAKING ME WONDER COULD THERE BE SOMETHING THERE. THERE'S A LEGEND IN RALEIGH WHERE THE STORY GOES AT THE SIGHT OF A LONG AGO OR FANNAGE FIRE, YOU CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF CHILDREN CRYING. CHRISTINA IS A RESEARCH ASSISTANT FOR THE GUILD WHO RESEARCHED THE CRIES, ONLY TO FIND CRICKETS. >> SIMILAR STORIES ARE TOLD IN OHIO, NEVADA, PENNSYLVANIA. SO I GO BACK THROUGH THE NEWS PAPER ARCHIVES AND SEE WHAT PARTS OF THE STORY ARE TRUE. SO IT'S A LOT OF, I WANT TO SAY DEBUNKING. >> STILL IT'S FUN TO SEEK ANSWERS TO WHAT WAS THAT? >> I AM DOING THIS KNOWING FULL WELL THAT I WILL LIKELY NEVER HAVE AN ANSWER. FROM NOW TO THE DAY I DIE. >> WE'RE HAUNTED BY THE WHAT IFS. CHILLED BY THE NOT KNOWING. WE'RE LEFT IN PERPETUAL SUSPENSE, WHICH IS ALL PART OF THE THRILL.
