SCI FI Presents 31 Days of Halloween

by Cynthia on October 3rd, 2008

It’s that time of year again.  Time for all you ghostbusters to get out your gear and join SCI FI Channel’s 31 Days Of Halloween celebration

For the third year in a row, they’ll be presenting Ghost Hunters Live on Halloween night.

This year’s event will take place at the historic Fort Delaware in Delaware City, DE from 7pm-2am. Built in the mid-1800’s and primarily used as an artillery defense for the Union during the Civil War, it eventually became a Civil War POW camp, housing over 33,000 Confederate soldiers. The conditions at Fort Delaware were grim, and over the years, it eventually became home to thousands of deaths. After capturing a variety of paranormal encounters during this first investigation, the team eagerly returns to Delaware this Halloween to explore this historic haunt!

SCIFI.COM will offer up a multilayered digital experience for fans including an exclusive, multi-camera online video feed and thermal imaging camera views, exclusive access to photos from the live event, live Q&A with the TAPS team members and the return of the “Panic Button” for web watchers to alert the team of something they are seeing live on TV.
