From Niagara Falls, WGRZ.com: Local Ghost Hunter Offers Lecture on Hauntings at Niagara Wheatfield
Have you ever wondered what goes bump in the night? Locally renowned ghost hunter Steven Richards did after an encounter at the Town Hall in Niagara where he is supervisor. “I was at the town hall late at night and I heard voices and footsteps. I went to explore and no one was there.” After learning that other people he worked with had experienced the same thing he and some friends stayed overnight to see if anything would happen. At 5:00AM all the candles blew out simultaneously and the amateur ghost hunters ran out the door. But the experienced peaked his curiosity and it wasn’t long before he and two other ghost hunter enthusiasts, James Kramp and Diane Tallarico, joined forces to create the Dark Starr Paranormal Research Society. “Since then it has exploded,” he says.
“We spend a lot of time exploring odd and creepy places. The most fascinating thing I have ever experienced was being pulled on while on a ghost hunt and nearly knocked over. Also there have been a lot of EVP’s that we have picked up.” EVP’s are Electronic Voice Phenomenon and he had his partners have picked up many of them at local sites like the Niagara Falls Boys and Girls Club, Iron island Museum and the Pharaoh’s Night Club.
He will be speaking about his experiences and showing off his ghost hunting equipment at a lecture for the Niagara Wheatfield Adult Education program on October 26th from 6:30-8:30PM at the Niagara Wheatfield High School. “At the lecture people can expect three things: number one to see all the equipment we have and they get a hands-on demonstration of it. Number two, they get to see and hear all the evidence we have collected and number three, they get a chance to share an experience they had concerning the paranormal with the group which seems to be a great way for people to open up.” People who attend the workshop will also have a chance to sign up for a once in a lifetime guided field trip with Steven. “Our field trips will consist of taking a large group of people and breaking them into smaller groups where one of our instructors will take each smaller group on a real ghost hunt to a place where we have already been and know is haunted.”
The lecture fills up quickly, so anyone interested in hearing Steven should go to the Niagara Wheatfield website www.nwcsd.k12.ny.us under Adult Education or call the Adult Education Office at 215-3109.
