Boo!


I'll admit it. I love the show, Ghost Hunters, on the SciFi channel. I believe in the paranormal. I think it's fascinating. Cool. Interesting. Spooky. Exhilirating. I love watching Ghost Hunters and seeing what they find (or don't find). I watched last night, and they were investigating the U.S.S. Hornet.

USS Hornet (CV/CVA/CVS-12) is a United States Navy aircraft carrier of the Essex class. Construction started in August 1942; she was originally named USS Kearsarge, but was renamed in honor of the USS Hornet (CV-8), which was lost in October 1942, becoming the eighth ship to bear the name. Hornet was commissioned in November 1943, and after three months of training joined the U.S. forces in the Pacific War. She played a major part in the Pacific battles of World War II, and also took part in Operation Magic Carpet, returning troops back to the U.S. Following World War II, she served in the Vietnam War, and also played a part in the Apollo program, recovering astronauts as they returned from the Moon. Hornet was finally decommissioned in 1970. She was eventually designated a National Historic Landmark, and in 1998 she opened to the public as a museum at the former Naval Air Station Alameda in Alameda, California.

Talk about a spooky place! Yikes! The cast had lots of personal experiences and I was on the edge of my seat. (grin) If I had the chance to go on an investigation, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Now I don't want to run screaming. I'm not up for that. lol But I'd like to tag along with Grant and Jason. They seem so cool and calm in most situations and they've investigated lots of places. I'd just hang out with them and let them do all of the work while I observed. lol Sounds like fun! (teehee)
