It is not very often that we hear of an alleged ghost setting off or tripping business or home alarm systems, and other security measures, but it has, and does on rare occasion been reported.

The most memorable for us occurred many years ago and was told to us by our friend Kyle Upton who runs the very popular ghost tours at Fort George. This report comes from Fort Wellington in Prescott, Ontario.

"One night at the fort, the motion sensor alarms sent a signal that indeed, the blockhouse in the fort had been broken into.

A team of three was dispatched to catch the intruder in the building and when they arrived, they indeed did watch as the alarm panel showed one motion detector tripped, go off and the adjoining one then trip and then go off and so on demonstrating that indeed, someone was wandering the upper floor of the blockhouse.

The three men raced in and scoured the first floor finding nothing, then the second, nothing but then, heard the footsteps of the intruder on the catwalk that surrounds the core of the third floor of the blockhouse.

Thinking they had their break and enter artist trapped, they moved stealthily up the stairs... one fellow remained in the middle of the blockhouse while the other two went through the entrances to the catwalk to circle in on each other trapping their person between them and forcing him out.

The man in the middle heard all three walking and then the mysterious footsteps neared the exit of the catwalk and being prepared to jump the intruder was astonished as the footsteps entered the core of the blockhouse without a person attached to them. In other words, just the sound and no person walking.

He didn't have time to organize to many thoughts about this before his two assistants bolted through the same exit inquiring if he had "got him". They saw no one but they too had heard the "person" walking the catwalk and exiting."

Our thanks to Kyle for sharing the report with us.
