Mandy Simpson has the story in the Kitsap Sun:
BREMERTON — USS Turner Joy seemed more menacing than majestic Saturday night as four members of the Washington State Paranormal Society, or W.A.P.S., prepared to investigate it.
The Navy destroyer’s red-orange deck lights created streaks of fire-colored water. Its gray paint turned deep black, and its mast spiked dangerously toward the sky. Even the sea gulls sounded more ominous than annoying as they swarmed around the floating museum’s glowing “Closed” sign.
But W.A.P.S. founders Nathan Aupperle, 22, and Brittany Anders, 21, of Poulsbo and investigators Sean Winter, 30, and Kristin Beck, 28, of Seabeck were not fazed as they unfolded cases of electromagnetic field meters, infrared lights and audio recorders in the chief’s mess hall aboard the ship.
“I’ve got my adrenalin rushing,” Aupperle said.
He would need it throughout the 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. examination, during which investigators believed they found evidence of paranormal activity on the museum, Anders said.
