One dark and gloomy evening
Two brothers camping in Northern California begin to hear a sound coming from the woods. It's like a massive expulsion of breath: huge, rough, and gutteral. What quickly becomes disconcerting is that the grunting is now coming from at least three different positions around them. Darrel and his brother Tim quickly center themselves in the middle of their camp, holding their rifles, and waiting. To their left, the brush explodes and a deer is standing in front of them, no more than fifteen feet away. The grunting continues throughout the night, seemingly communicating back and forth. The Trimm brothers and the stag never move from their positions until dawn the next morning.

Cheesman Park in Denver, Colorado is said to be one of the most haunted places in the United States. It used to be a cemetery and the brilliant politicians decided to turn it into a park. They paid a guy $1.90 a body to relocate the remains, but they mostly had children's caskets, so they guy would just cut people up to fit in the caskets. They finally stopped it after much debate and 2,000 graves are still underneath scenic Cheesman Park and everyone agrees that the remaining spirits aren’t happy.

The producer's great idea was to put two college girls in a tent on top of an unmarked grave in Cheesman Park. They lasted about an hour after the sun went down. The best part was that two paranormal goofs were watching them from a distance and they kept telling them that nothing was happening outside their tent. Then, the lamp went out, the compass they were using to test paranormal activity kept spinning out of control, and something kept "touching" them from outside the tent. They broke down in record time and refused to stay the night.

I love this time of year. Halloween may be my favorite holiday, because it's the holiday for the over-active imagination. And TV loves to share in that with great programming you won't see the rest of the year. They break out the ghost stories, UFOs, Loch Ness, and my all-time favorite, Bigfoot. I do have a personal philosophy that protects me from myself though: "If you go out looking for trouble, then eventually, you’ll find it." That’s why I’m completely satisfied watching the young, dumb, and Caucasian go out and find trouble for me. Happy Halloween!
