After the club investigates, they also conduct dub-proofing experiments that try to recreate what was seen or heard. If it cannot be recreated and there is no way that it could have been a hoax, it is documented.
"There was no one around when we heard the voices, no one could have been making those noises," said Wix.
Rushing explained the different kinds of ghosts, and even described one of his own experiences.
"There are several different types of entities," said Rushing. "There are human interactive entities, that if asked questions, will respond, human residual entities, that are similar to a recorder in that that do or say the same thing over and over as if in a loop. There are also inhuman and man-made entities.
"I was attacked by a man-made entity in a church where I was working as a security guard. People come to church and leave their negative thoughts at the door, this negative energy builds and manifests. I could feel it hovering over me jumping from rafter to rafter and then, it attacked me. It swooped down on me. I felt it through my back, arms and heart. I was tingling all over. I quit that job shortly after."
The Ghost Walk members' next excursion will happen within the next two weeks and will be conducted in both Burleson and Gilbreath halls. Both buildings are thought to be haunted. It is a closed investigation and only members are allowed to participate for safety reasons.
The club is open to anyone who is interested in the paranormal.
They examine evidence collected from previous investigations and documentaries of ghost hunts.
The Ghost Walkers will investigate West Virginia State Penitentiary over spring break. MTV did a documentary entitled "Fear" at this maximum security prison as did the Ghost Hunters.
Next Halloween the club hopes to run a haunted house for next Halloween or take students on a hoax ghost hunt.
The Ghost Walkers meet at 3 p.m. every first and third Saturday of the month in Room 355 of the Sherrod Library.
