In 1996, Roger—an all‑around skeptic and professional scientist—reconnected with a former college roommate who belonged to a ghost‑hunting club and invited him on an overnight hunt at Beaver Creek State Park in Ohio. Roger joined the group in a remote, heavily wooded area known among enthusiasts for supposed hauntings. After setting up camp, they compared equipment and methods: an EMF meter, digital thermometer for “cold spots,” Polaroid and electronic cameras for “orbs,” an expensive infrared video camera, and an EVP recorder that might capture voices in white noise (which skeptics attribute to pareidolia). The group even encountered a Bigfoot hunter who exchanged business cards with them, prompting good‑natured jokes about how each group probably seemed ridiculous to the other. Once darkness fell, the ghost hunters visited several rumored hotspots—old canal locks and other locations tied to local legends—navigating in near total darkness, where Roger narrowly avoided stepping off an unseen drop at an abandoned lock. After more fruitless searching (including attempts to provoke the spirit of Pretty Boy Floyd), the night finally turned strange at a cemetery with dozens of graves dating back to the 1800s. Using the infrared camera, the group observed bright, rubber‑band‑shaped forms hovering above them, expanding and contracting, then diving into grave mounds or headstones and disappearing, while others seemed to emerge and drift along. Roger couldn’t explain what he saw, and the group watched for about half an hour before returning to camp around 3 a.m.; years later, Roger remains mystified by that inexplicable display.

| 0:55.5 | He had never had a paranormal experience in his life. |
| 0:59.5 | While his former college roommate was sensitive and could detect changes in the ambience when ghosts were around, |
| 1:06.4 | Roger was as insensitive as they come. |
| 1:10.3 | He is a scientist by profession and was a skeptic of the group. |
| 1:14.9 | They pitched their tents and ate their dinner and cooked over a campfire, and the group relaxed |

| 1:34.1 | However, it will also detect electrical lines in a building. |
| 1:38.5 | Another fellow was handed a digital thermometer because ghosts allegedly create cold spots as they suck up the thermal |
| 1:45.9 | energy to fuel their activity. |
| 1:49.0 | There were several Polaroid cameras in the group as well as a few electronic cameras. |
| 1:55.0 | Orbs that many don't see with the naked eye can often be captured on camera, though naysayers attribute them to light scattered |

| 2:06.9 | There was also an infrared video camera in the group, which was rare and expensive in 1996. |
| 2:14.5 | The infrared camera detects heat sources and displays these in false color, in this case orange. |
