Very late on the night of April 14th, 1912, the largest passenger ship the world had ever seen struck an iceberg hidden below the surface of the frigid Atlantic ocean. By very early morning on the 15th, the "unsinkable ship" had plunged all the way to the bottom, leaving more than fifteen hundred of her passengers dead. It remains one of the worst, and certainly one of the most famous, maritime tragedies in recorded history. The wreckage lay on the ocean floor undisturbed until September 1st, 1985 when it was finally found. As artifacts have been removed from the sunken ship, questions have surfaced from the depths. Are the souls of those who perished still bound to the relics of their final resting-place? Many of the items brought up from the remains of the Titanic have been put on display in an exhibit.

I worked for NYS Dept of Corrections for over 43 years & it's ridiculous that there could be any type of ghosts, apparitions, etc. in that facility. The facility is not old, built in 1971. Inmates do not stay in County Jail for more than 1 year & only for misdemeanors, felons are transferred out to State prison within 2 weeks It would be ridiculous to think that this jail would have any such ghosts or apparitions that exist in that facility. This is totalally fake and made up for the show.

IMPORTANT, GOOGLE PLAY ADMINS: This is tagged, shown (wrong cast too), and marketed as the U.S. series Ghost Hunters. The actual episodes are of a slightly older British show that is not remotely related to the TAPS (U.S.) team. This is a potential copyright ©️ issue. I'd fix it before SyFy smells the proverbial litigation blood in the water. 1⭐ For leading to the wrong show, 0⭐for not fact checking what you're linking people to watch, -10 ⭐🃏 for this listing being up for a long time unnotice

Garbage..Junk..All Lies. How many of their former members have quit and then gone on to tell the truth of how shows were staged. Figure it out people.. where do plumbers that work out of a franchise get the money to buy an Inn and restore it? Britt was supposed to be fired for outing a member on Paranormal State, he missed a few episodes and then was welcomed back with open arms. Paranormal State was cancelled! If you paid me over $100,000 an episode I would see ghosts too. Thank the ghost gods that Grant had the decency to leave the show. Steve was once a Police Officer??? With all of his phobias he would never be accepted into any Police force in the country...not to mention his tats. 100% loser who can't even drum on beat!
