Description

Weatherman/DJ Frank Mitchell was working at the Sunday Breakfast Show for Downtown Radio in 1985 when he first encountered the spirit. The studio was located next to an area that was once host to a graveyard and a gallows.

In 1998, Mitchell was spooked to read that a cleaner at the radio station had also experienced ghostly goings-on. Sally Graham was cleaning the studio when she heard the sounds of clinking glass. She turned to see the shocking sight of crystal ashtrays being stacked by unseen hands. A Paranormal Investigator was called in to find out what was going on. Follow the investigation in this report.
