One ghostly fan of a concert at Shreveport's Municipal Auditorium might
not have left the building.

While investigating the possible presence of paranormal activity in the
city's historic music and performance venue Sunday, members of Louisiana
Spirits, a group of ghost hunters from northwest Louisiana, claim to
have heard four distinct claps that could not be explained logically or
immediately.

"When a few of the investigators were on stage, they heard clapping from
the front of the stage," lead investigator Todd Weaver said.
The group this week will analyze 30 hours of audio recordings and more
than 40 hours of video recordings.

Weaver can't predict what conclusions its members will draw. "It's hard
to say.". They should know more by midweek, he said.
Johnny Wessler, executive director of Friends of Municipal Auditorium,
said the investigators found more evidence of eerie activity. "They did
hear bumps and creaks. They did see orbs," Wessler said, referencing the
oft-disputed floating balls of light that show up on paranormal
investigators' photographs and video recordings.
