Investigating the USS Hornet

  • 🎃 The Red Web team embarked on a Halloween special investigation aboard the USS Hornet, a naval ship in San Francisco, California.
  • 🚢 The massive ship, with 19 decks, is renowned as one of America's most haunted locations, having seen 200 soldier deaths during WWII.
  • 🔍 The team explored various areas including the captain's and admiral's quarters, the infirmary, bunks, and the surgery room.

Mag Light Communications

  • 💡 Investigators used a highly sensitive mag light to attempt communication with spirits, loosening it to react to minimal energy.
  • ✅ The light consistently responded to direct questions, turning on and off at precise moments, which was described as the most tangible experience.
  • ⏳ In one instance, a mag light, placed in a less sensitive spot, turned on by itself after being off for a full 8.5 minutes.

Advanced Paranormal Tools

  • ⚡ A REM pod was deployed in Radio Central, which registered activity, indicating a presence interacting with the device's sensors.
  • 👻 An SLS camera was used to detect humanoid figures, capturing a stick figure next to a crew member's outline and a yellow wireframe darting around a corner.
  • 📊 The team tried to debunk potential false positives with the SLS camera, but some visual anomalies remained unexplained.

Unexplained Encounters

  • 👃 While in the bunks area, a strange, skunky smell appeared suddenly, coinciding with the appearance of a yellow wireframe on the SLS camera.
  • 👋 An investigator reported feeling a touch on their hip while lying in a bunk, despite attributing it to clothing movement.
  • 💬 A final session in the surgery room involved two mag lights (red and black) responding to specific questions, indicating yes/no answers.

Seeking Explanations

  • ❓ The Red Web team is actively seeking audience input and time-coded observations to help explain the paranormal events.
  • 🧠 They are particularly interested in understanding the consistent and precise timing of the mag light responses.
  • 🍬 A mason jar with M&Ms was left out to attract the spirit of Neil Armstrong, who was picked up by the USS Hornet after his moon landing.
