Air Date: Wednesday, October 7, 2009 @ 9 PM on Syfy

USS Salem – Quincy, Massachusetts

The Ghost Hunters don sailor caps and head out to sea. Their mission—explore a haunted vessel and demystify the paranormal activity onboard.

Built in 1945, the USS Salem is famous for providing humanitarian aid to devastated countries. It was the first American ship to arrive on scene during the 1953 Ionian Island earthquake. Hundreds of people were treated and saved on the ship, yet many others died onboard. Could ungrateful spirits be lurking on the USS Salem?

Today, the ship is used as a Naval museum. Visitors and museum staff report hearing strange voices and seeing shadowy apparitions of people flickering down hallways.

TAPS has their hands full investigating the USS Salem. Will they discover who or what is haunting this massive landmark? Tune in to find out.

Cornwall Jail – Ontario, Canada

The angry spirits of dead convicts are imprisoned in Cornwall Jail—or so visitors and employees believe. TAPS is called in to investigate.

Built in 1802, the Cornwall Jail is the oldest and most infamous structure in Ontario, Canada. Rumor has it that countless numbers of prisoners were savagely tortured within its four walls. Some prisoners even committed suicide to escape their brutal sentences.

In 2002, the jail was turned into a museum. Yet many say the souls of former inmates remain locked up inside. The sound of a woman screaming is often heard. Employees believe it to be the cries of a female inmate who was brutally raped by male inmates years ago. One visitor alleges that an invisible force grabbed her face and growled attacked her in her ear.

Who or what could be behind these disturbing events? It’s up to TAPS to hunt the culprits down.
