What "Ghost Hunters" 17-th episode about
TAPS heads over to Buffalo, New York, to investigate an old train station known as the Buffalo Central Terminal. The terminal was built in 1929 and began running on the same year. It was operation for about 50 years when it closed in 1979. In the station's prime, the station would have at least 200 trains passing by the station in an average day. The terminal was used in World War II to transport several American troops, as well as German POWs. The station's main office tower is 14 stories high, and the length of the entire complex is over 500 square feet. After the terminal was closed, there were a few private investors bought the station, notably Tony Fedele, who bought the station in 1979, to which this investment on the station was claimed to be his "demise". In later years after Fedele left he project, the station went abandoned for several years, and had been vandalized greatly, causing hazards to people who go inside the station. The station is currently undergoing through an extensive renovation and restoration work, the which is claimed to be the reason of the recent spike in paranormal activity in the station.
Claims of paranormal activity include: Residual type hauntings like witnesses claiming to have seen two ghostly apparitions in the third floor standing by a water fountain, and when these witnesses went near these apparitions, the apparitions vanished, including the water fountain they were drinking off of. There have also been claims that the spirit of Tony Fedele, former formal owner of the terminal who tried to renovate and save the the satiation but failed, still haunts this terminal; Tony's demise is blamed on his passion to renovate the Terminal. A female apparition is reported to haunt the mail room . Also, it is claimed that a German speaking ghost haunts the lower levels of the terminal. And several other types of haunting (both residual and intelligent) and strange apparitions are also reported. Other claims include: Cold spots, extreme feelings of dread, strange noises and voices, and feelings of being watched.
