I thought some of you might find the following useful to know/have when discussing tonight’ EP, if not also when watching it; should you see this before you do that is…sorry I’m late posting it, I wanted to post it yesterday but didn’t get a chance to do so.

Map [lay-out] of Fort Henry  http://www.forthenry.com/mapfort.htm

Tour page, has info about the fort, an aerial shot and a list of the various areas/rooms within the fort [as seen on the fort site map] that are links which take you to a page that provides a bit of info about that particular area/room – quite a few also provide a photo of the room/area. http://www.forthenry.com/tourfort.htm

A short historical overview http://www.forthenry.com/pasthist.htm

The man who brought Fort Henry to life http://www.forthenry.com/ronway.htm

The 6-week long Fort Fright event, opened September 25 and runs to November 7, believe this is 2^nd year for it.  Sound and lighting effects, animatronics, and costumed animators are all part of the production. TAPS was there in June, well before things were set-up for the 6-wk Halloween event.  http://www.forthenry.com/09090901.htm

An outside company that does ‘Haunted walking tours’ in Kingston offers a ‘ghost tour’ at the Fort – the Fort itself doesn’t have a ghost tour….save for the above, the only place I found ghost tour noted was in a list of activities done with students for the ‘Overnight Soldier Program’. Fort programs/tours: http://www.forthenry.com/progfort.htm

I can’t recall exactly when, but it was years ago when I first heard Fort Henry was reputedly haunted.  Since then I’ve read more about it, heard stories from relatives and friends that live in Ontario, and it was featured on Creepy Canada in past as well.

Whether or not it’s Haunted is of course debatable, as with any locale its up to each individual to decide for him/herself if there is or possibly is PN activity going on – be it based on their own experiences and/or investigations done there, and/or the info and evidence that others present. I won’t hold my breath that TAPS will gather meaningful data or present any evidence that isn’t highly questionable with the usual issues and red flags that we’ve unfortunately seen time and time again over the past few seasons – well IMO pretty much from the get-go.    Home pg http://www.forthenry.com/home.htm

This site offers ‘virtual tours’ of the Fort plus an aerial photo that allows you to zoom in a bit [looks like google earth].  Scroll down for a list of 9 areas you can take a virtual tour of, and 3 sunset ceremony VTs. The Fort is quite large you really get a feel for it in the VT. http://www.virtualkingston.ca/forthenry.htm#

Lots of good photos [slide show], quite a few are interior shots of different areas including part of a tunnel, wine cellar, basement/stairs area, barracks, officers quarters, school room, kitchen etc….some nice exterior shots of the Fort, dry ditch, parade ground, plus the lake and land areas around the Fort.

Just watching it now, but caught something odd.

They leave Warwick, RI to go to Kingston, Ont, which is the gateway to the Thousand Islands area of the St. Lawrence River. (Which makes sense, since they were in Alexandria Bay last week, where my family owns a house!)

So they drive through Rhode Island, Massachussettes and NY.

Why, in the beginning, as they're talking on the radios, are they in Delaware?? I paused to see the Highways signs on the overpasses and they'rei n the New Castle, DE area….

@HipKat – good eye, thanks for noting that I’ll be sure to watch closely for what signs are on the road.  Not sure if this will help or not: Cornwall Jail aired last week however they actually investigated it ‘after’ Fort Henry – Fort H was done sometime during the June 15^th week – and according to the DVR D/T stamp the U.S.S Salem investigation was on June 2^nd, and if I’m not mistaken the Isle of Pines case was done on June 7^th [give/take a day]….if they were in Delaware when they ‘staged’ their driving to Fort Henry chatter/scene, then it had to be sometime ‘after’ they did the Canadian cases or ‘before’ they did the U.S.S Salem [assuming the D/T stamp was correct or within a day or two of when they were there]. 

They ‘stage’ a lot of scenes, including some of the ‘lights out’ scenes thus actual investigation – frankly I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if most are staged, despite the fact that all of the actual investigation scenes should be impromptu IMO.  Save for the ridiculous number of redundant sound bites they do during same that is.  Who knows maybe they did ‘driving there’ scenes for several EPs on the same day – when they happened to be in the New Castle area – or they got a call from post-production saying they had to re-do the one for Fort Henry for whatever reason?  You know despite being a so-called reality show, IMO the ‘reality is’ there isn’t a lot of ‘reality’ actually involved.  

ETA: sorry not sure why the script/font size keeps going small, I've gone through all the buttons up top but can't find a font-size one to correct.  

I have a comment to make about the 'debunk' Steve and Tango did with the cold air rushing into a room through a small slit.  Now, mind you, I'm far from brilliant and I mostly slept through high school science classes… 

Steve points to a small slit in a stone window, and the window well  becomes wider as it comes toward them.  Steve says, "This explains the blast of cold air, because as it enters the narrow window it will then blow out stronger as it comes through this open space."  (or he says something along those lines.)

Huh?  Like I said, I'm not too smart, but wouldn't the wind force lessen in strength once it gets past the narrow window?  If it were blowing in from a wider area and being forced into a smaller space, then I could understand that it pushes out stronger.  If one were to use water in a plastic pop bottle as an example…  cutting off the wide bottom, turning it upside down and pouring the water into the jug, the water coming out of the small round hole  would come out harder, right?  But if you poured it into the smaller top hole, it would dissipate and have less pressure as it poured out of the wide, cut open bottom??? Right?  Unless I'm wrong.  Which wouldn't be the first time.  (only the second…   )

Please, would one of you smart people explain to me how Steve could be right about his wind theory.

Speaking of that first apparition, in Tombstone, since theyaired it last week, I notice that Grant sees the "Lady in white" and get's all excited and Jay responds like he didn't really see anyting, but then his excitement kind've builds up over the next minute for so…..

The other I notice, watchign the reruns is that Brian really was a bigger goof ball than I remembered.

Man, that dude sees something in every single scene……

"I swear to GOD, dude…."

@Mary – I had to watch/listen again to part of the [so-called] debunking that Steve/Tango had done in the wine cellar, as I honestly thought that I had either heard it wrong or, like blinddog, I imagined it – even though I was fully awake/alert at the time.  It was worse hearing it the second time around lol.  And this is the duo that will be 'leading' the new [college] team?!?  

  

I'm wondering what the interview process will be for the college kids selected to go on these hunts with "Drs. Steve & Tango". I'm thinking there will be a few rules of thumb:

1. The girls will have to be attractive.

2. The boys will have to be "frat boy dumb-jock" types.

3. NO SCIENCE MAJORS!!!

I mean, we all know how Steve feels about people who read…
