Ghost Hunters still at it after seven years and some scary experiencesBy HOLLY LOEFFLER-Times ReporterTROY - Jason Gowin, Nick Foust, Bill Angov, Greg Newkirk and Milton Clark are a team that often works the graveyard shift - a team of ghost hunters that is. All five paranormal investigators are from the Troy area and they call themselves Ghost Hunters Inc. They have been involved in paranormal investigation for the last seven years.
It began when Foust and a couple of his friends planned a sojourn to a nearby graveyard. Additional forays into paranormal investigating only piqued their interest and Ghost Hunters Inc. was born. It wasn't always easy and at times it was downright scary, but curiosity has continued to bring them back for more.
"For the first five years... No, okay. It still goes on. Like for the first five years of our ghost hunting, it was hear a noise, see something, run away. That was just how we did it. It was the Scooby Doo method of ghost hunting. You see it, you go," said Gowin.
They have come a long way since then. They use newer equipment and have found that the more serious they have become about ghost hunting, the more paranormal experiences they have had.
"We've checked out places from Maryland up to New York state. We've checked out everything from abandoned churches to abandoned mental institutions to cemeteries," said Gowin.
It is from these places they have collected seven years worth of stories.
"Barclay Cemetery in Canton on Barclay Mountain. It's an old forgotten cemetery in an old mining town. We were up there looking around and we heard this 'cling' like something hitting just a rock. Like a metal on rock sound. Everyone was like, 'Wait. Did you hear that? What the heck was that?' Then Greg said, 'Oh my gosh. This is a mining town.' And a second later you could just hear this plain--as-day 'ting.' Just like a pick axe hitting something," said Foust.
As they recall their adventures, one can see the wheels of time turning back in their minds, and their eyes take on something of a vacant look as they watch memories play like a film.
"In one house in Granville we went to, I looked out the window and I thought it was Bill standing outside, and I asked, 'Why is Bill standing outside?' and then Bill, from behind me, said, 'I'm not outside.' And we went outside where I saw the person standing and there were no footsteps in the snow," said Gowin.
