Three naval vessels, one investigation! The Buffalo Naval and Military Park is home to the USS. The Sullivans (a destroyer), USS. Little Rock (a cruiser) and USS. Croaker (a submarine). TAPS is on the scene because the haunting activity on board these vessels is getting out of hand.

Shadows, apparitions, voices, footsteps, doors opening and closing, objects being thrown and lights flashing in Morse code… the list of claims is long and it's possible the hauntings are all associated. John Banning, U.S. Navy retired and the superintendent of the park says: "You can't live in one of these sardine cans, much less pass away on one of these, without leaving a part of your personality behind. You imprint your life."

There are documented deaths that would justify concerns of hauntings. On the Little Rock, a man was killed in the missile house and another sailor was crushed between the ship and the moorings. In 1967, The Little Rock took on board severely burned sailors from another ship that had been in a friendly fire incident. On USS The Sullivans rescued an aircraft carrier that was kamikazes during World War II, and many of the rescues died on board.

The thread that ties these vessels together is The Sullivan family: Five sons from Ohio were killed on a ship in World War 2. The Navy named the ship in their honor and the Croaker avenged the brothers' deaths when it sank the Japanese ship that killed them! All this energy feeds off each other, creating a hotbed for paranormal activity.

First order of business: debunking! Steve and Tango conclude that footage captured by another paranormal investigation team of a blue light is probably the reflection of a flashlight or a camera flash and NOT a spirit.
24244
On the upper deck of the USS Little Rock, Steve and Jason encounter an unidentified moving object above their heads. What is that??
24245
The pilot house of the USS Little Rock is a known hotspot. Britt, Dave and Samantha hear a high pitch whistle- like an admiral would use.
24246
People claim to have captured spectral mists around photos of the Sullivan brothers, but Amy figures out it is just mist from the cold air drafting from outside. Good debunking!

Britt knocks on the floor in the missile room to see if he can get the lights to flicker in the mess hall. That doesn't happen, but something starts knocking back. Creepy!
24248
The REM pod starts acting strangely for Britt and Michelle on the Croaker. They also hear footsteps and see light movement.
24249
Something spoke directly into Amy's ear and startled her! Then she and Adam hear footsteps above them. They search the entire ship but find nothing that would have made that noise. It's crazy!
24250
In the mess hall, Tango and Samantha pick up on bizarre knocking sounds. They conclude something is either knocking on the table or the floor… but what?

Analysis of the recordings presents solid evidence that the teams did hear a whistle and unusual knocking.
