Good old Fort MacArthur here in our backyard is known to be a hotspot for paranormal activity. From Wikipedia:

Ghost hunters have heard footsteps, the clank of machinery not used in decades, and explosions. They’ve seen floating orbs, and felt inexplicable cold breezes and unseen entities brushing past them. They believe that the fort is haunted by the spirits of World War I/II-era soldiers. Fort MacArthur was the subject of an episode of the Cartoon Network series The Othersiders, during which paranormal activity in the fort was allegedly verified.

“Local Ghost Haunts” performed a paranormal investigation and released their episode through their website on February 9, 2010. “Local Ghost Haunts” believes Fort MacArthur is haunted as well.

Below is the Local Ghost Haunts episode featuring Fort Mac. The scary payoff isn’t there, but the footage will give you a nice little night tour beneath Battery Osgood-Farley.

A group of chess enthusiasts who had checked in to a hotel were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse.

”But why?” they asked.

”Because,” the manager said. ”I can’t stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.”
