Jon Gray is one of the few bright spots on a bad Colorado Rockies team, and could be the ace of that rotation one day soon. But, that’s not what we’re interested in today. Gray is a ghost hunter!

No, not like those potentially fake Ghost Hunters from the SyFy channel, but a real life ghost hunter. He talked about it Thursday on MLB Network Radio, and well…

The hosts of this interview asked Gray whether he’d want to ghost hunt at the Stanley Park Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, because The Shining was filmed there. Of course he said yes, though we here at the Comeback should preface this by saying that Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining was not filmed at that hotel, Stephen King’s 1997 TV movie of The Shining was, and that was terrible, as most King made-for-TV specials were (watch It if you can by the way).

Gray can also tell you everything you want to know about the tech you need to go hunting ghosts, and it’s kind of nutty.

There’s new, like, technology out there that can give you some different readings on things. And a lot of people think that when they detect a ghost it’s temperature, a lot of people think it’s an electro-magnetic field. But there’s like these cameras that can see full spectrum, and colors that human eyes can’t pick up. They see anomalies, and use EVPs to catch disembodied voices, and it’s just kinda interesting.

So maybe he is a disciple of TAPS after all? He’ll probably still get more authentic results.
