Unidentifiable noises, temperatures that rise or plummet and mists and shadows drifting oddly all can make a soul wonder: are the hangars haunted?

Now, you have the opportunity to decide for yourself what might be flying around Polk City’s Fantasy of Flight after dark. Central Florida’s premier aviation attraction has invited the general public to Nightflight, a thrilling after-hours program that offers adventurous visitors four full hours to explore the unexplained on Oct. 16 and Oct. 30, 2010.

So, is it for real? Apollo Paranormal Investigations (API), a non-profit investigative team based in Apollo, Florida, has conducted a series of scientific explorations and on a paranormal-activity scale between 1 and 10, they have rated Fantasy of Flight’s aircraft collection an “11.”

Sounds like a prime opportunity for some spirited fun to me!
