Paranormal group offers a night of investigation and food by Craig Brosman As Sara and Curt Correll talk about their investigations they have been a part of, it sounds eerily like a mid 1980s movie – Ghostbusters, but what they do is different in many ways. Curt and Sarah are the founding members of Ghost H u n t e r ’ s Investigation Group, a paranormal investigation group from Wabash. After participating in other paranormal investigation groups they decided to start their own. They spend their weekends with clients who want to know if the suspicious activity in their home or business can be explained or if it is paranormal. “We go into each home or business trying to disprove the thought that the paranormal is at work,” Sara said. “Sometimes it can be explained by faulty wiring or old plumbing, but sometimes it can’t be explained at all and we get to encounter spirits.” Some people make fun of what the Corrells do and think they are crazy for doing it, but it is what they love and choose to spend their time doing. That is why they chose to create a spe-

cial event each year during October to use as a way to inform the public on what they do and to invite other citizens who want to try their hand at it to do so. Three years ago, they decided to start “Dining with Ghosts” an event for the community to be a part of their hobby, while having a meal and listening to the history of Wabash and paranormal activity. This year, Dining with Ghosts Version 3.3 will be held Oct. 15 at Studio Eleven and the meal will be catered by Poole’s Meat Market. “We encourage anyone who is interested in the paranormal to attend,” Correll said. “It is a fabulous dinner opportunity as well as an opportunity to investigate with seasoned investigators.” During the event’s first year they had dinner at the Elwood Opera House and investigated the stories that they had heard about the building. The next year they went to the Honeywell Center and investigated it. This year they will be going to Studio Eleven, Mark Honeywell’s studio and the former Country Club, to investigate stories they have heard about that building.

“It is exciting because this is the first time anyone has been allowed into Studio Eleven to do such an investigation,” Correll said. “This is just one example of a place that we have been the first paranormal group to investigate the building. We have done other buildings in Wabash as well as Carmel and Indianapolis that no one was previously allowed in.” In recent years, Correll has noticed that Wabash is a breeding ground for paranormal activity and that this region has more activity than many other areas. “Limestone and water are conductors of energy and those are both things that this area has a lot of, “ Correll said. “That is why this county has an increased amount of paranormal activity, because spirits are energy forces that have been left behind.” The Corrells used to live in a house in Wabash and they vividly remember paranormal activity. Curt recalls many weird incidences that happened all the time that they lived in the house. “There was a window on the west side of the house in the attic that we would lock and when the kids would come home from school they would notice it was open,” Curt said. “I used to not believe in spirits, but after everything we have seen I definitely believe. One time our oldest girl went to the attic to get something and there was a lock on the attic door, when she came
down the door was locked and she couldn’t get out. I drive by the house every once and a while and the window in the attic is open.” The reason they do what they do is because they empathize with the homeowner. “We don’t feel like anyone should feel afraid in their own home,” Sara said. “We help get rid of or show the home owner how to coexist with the spirit.” Everything they do is free of charge. “We do not charge for any of the services we offer,” Sara said. “We have been offered money and we have turned it down.” The dinner is one of their ways to raise funds for equipment and to pay for the dinner and event. “We have yet to have money left over to pay for equipment,” Curt said. “It is basically just enough to break even and have an experience with the public. We keep it small so that people are not running over each other.” There are only 60 tickets available for the event. “When the community finds out we are selling tickets they go fast,” Sara said. Those who are interested can order their tickets anytime in the next few weeks before Oct. 7. They can be purchased online at www.ghigonline.com where the hungry ghost is or you can call Sara at 260-5719949.
