It's not quite rifle time yet in Michigan, but for ghost hunter Brad Mikulka, Halloween is open season. The leader of the Lansing-based SouthEast Michigan Ghost Hunters Society brought his trade to MSU's campus yesterday to investigate Fairchild Theatre, a building known for its historical haunted happenings. Armed with an electronic tape recorder, digital camera and a red, flashing electromagnetic field detector, Mikulka searched every nook and cranny of the theater - from projection booth to storage basement, in search of the paranormal. "What you try to do is photograph balls of light commonly referred to as ghosts," said Mikulka, a Lansing resident. Mikulka said he has certain powers that allow him to "sense" spirit activity. Upon entering the Fairchild Theatre, Mikulka said he could feel the presence of something watching him. As he worked his way through the building, Mikulka said that energy could be felt in certain places, especially in the theater's projection booth. Mikulka described the presence in the booth in a very detailed manner - a short man, very old, with a small mustache and blue bib overalls, he said. Strangely enough, Maureen Murphy, a stage manager guiding Mikulka, said the description reminded her very much of Craig Chapin, an older man who used to run the projector. Chapin died two years ago. "Sometimes you'll be here alone at night, and you'll hear a noise and you'll think 'What was that?'" said Murphy, who has worked at the theater for three years. Stories of the ghost of a boy roaming the halls of the auditorium and weird noises coming from stage areas in Fairchild Theatre have circulated for years among theater students and building workers. Aside from the SEMGHS, at least a half-dozen other ghost investigating groups meet throughout Michigan, including Michigan Ghost Watchers, which is based in Canton. Cindy Blake, the president of the Canton group, relies on photography and scientific methods in conducting searches for spirits. "A ghost is a persona, a personality, the part of us that doesn't go away when we die," said Blake, a dental technician, wife and mother of four.
Rivalry weekend used to be easy for guys like Ronald Stanley. Back in the day, guys like Stanley could just relax and watch Michigan and MSU duke it out from the comfort of their own home - decked out in maize and blue. "I had all of it - I had a Michigan jacket, Michigan posters on the wall," said Stanley, a Spartans junior linebacker. Spartans such as Stanley know all about the history and tradition of the annual rivalry game and understand just how important bragging rights are in the mitten state.
