SALEM — The request from Spirit Finders Paranormal Investigators of North Smithfield, R.I., was way down on the agenda at last night’s monthly meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission.
It had to wait for a discussion of a proposed Little League field at Salem Willows, a progress report on activities at the Pioneer Village tourist site and an update on plans for a children’s playground at Forest River Park.
When the paranormal investigators finally got a chance to speak, they didn’t appear to stand a ghost of a chance. After all, they had come with an unusual request. They want to lead a nighttime search party inside the city’s historic Witch House looking for signs of the living dead.
