Next Season on Ghost Hunters...Old Washington Ferries?

Generally, because we're a bit of a scaredy-pants, we can't sit through episodes of Ghost Hunters (or other such shows) without closing our eyes or plugging our ears. But we will most certainly make an exception if they do an episode on the ghosts of Washington State Ferries past.

Apparently, the Washington State Ghost Society has been diligently trying to gain access to conduct paranormal searches on the old Steel Electric-class ferries for years. The group was denied their request while the ferries were still in service, but now that a few of the 80-year-old boats have been retired, they hope they'll finally have their chance to explore.

If allowed onboard the ferries, the ghost hunters will bring "sensitives" (people who feel connections to the spirit world), as well as high tech equipment used in searching for paranormal activity like infrared cameras, electromagnetic field detectors, and audio recording devices. One of the group's so-called sensitives has already had a ghostly encounter on one of the ferries, and the group is hopeful that was only the first of many lingering souls to find.
