I guess that the title is a clever pun. Light houses are signal lights, and, uh… pitchers and catchers use signals, so an episode that visits both an island with a lighthouse and a baseball hall of fame gets called "Signals from the Past". Who am I to argue?

The TAPS team started out by investigating Rose Island in Narragansett Bay. I have mentioned in the past that ghosts on Ghost Hunters seems to follow little fads, and of course certain kinds of events follow different sub-teams around. Britt and KJ get mysteriously opening doors and running shadows, for example. I will have to nominate the door in the Rose Lighthouse as one of the least convincing pieces of door-related evidence. Britt and KJ, while investigating one door's reported tendency to open on its own, are surprised when a door behind KJ swings open. In the reveal, Jay and Grant emphasize how neither Britt or KJ touched the door, but fail to mention the important point that it was already ajar, and so could have been stirred by the slightest breeze. So much for that. The team also made a big deal over a mysterious blob (which apparently appeared synchronized with another blob on another camera) that appeared out of nowhere. It's a blob. There's no way of saying where it was in three-D space. I invoke Stephen's Law: you can't analyze crap.

While Jay and Grant investigate a closet, there is an odd mewing sound which Grant claims sounds like "ma-ma". A sharp-eyed forum member pointed out that Grant's lips move slightly while this is happening. Is this another of Grant's apparent hoaxes? On the one hand, his lips do move, and the sound does come from his area, according to Jason. Also, something about his manner seems very similar to how he spoke in Fort Delaware after the "you're not supposed to be here" voice and the collar tug. On the other hand… it's just so stupid. The voice barely sounds human, and I would have been happy to ascribe it to the seagulls outside. When we get to the second half the investigation, though, we hear yet another mewling voice from around Grant. So I'm leaning toward Grant taking up ventriloquism. Everyone needs a hobby.
