Is Kemper Arena haunted? By the ghost of Owen Hart, the pro wrestler who fell to his death from a catwalk there on May 23, 1999? Well, that has been the buzz in ghost hunting forums and on pro wrestling Web sites in recent weeks. The talk began after a column in a student newspaper in Rhode Island suggested that there have been sightings of the ghost of Hart in Kemper's rafters. The column, called "Haunted America," runs regularly in The Anchor, a student newspaper at Rhode Island College, and discusses various ghost sightings and suspected supernatural activities across the country. We should note that the column discussing the ghost story at Kemper Arena had no attributions. "Employees (at Kemper Arena) have claimed to have seen (Hart) in the rafters wearing the costume he was wearing for his gimmick," the newspaper wrote, "as well as the cable before he began the descent. There have also been reports of flickering lights and other power sources that seem to go on and off in some areas of the arena." Hart plunged 78 feet to his death at Kemper Arena when the quick-release mechanism on his harness opened as he was lowered from a catwalk. -- KC Star

I think he would be better off haunting Jim McMahon...

Why? What did the ex-Chicago Bears QB ever do to him?

Personally, I think this is a silly story. But then, I think most of those ghost hunter stories on Sci Fi are bunk, too, so...

Strange story! They almost start to dismiss it before the story is even started. Bad pic of Owen as well. I hated the whole "Blue Blazer" gimmick as it was, and it did seem to be his downfall.

His biography was pretty sad. He never wanted to do that stunt, but was afraid to say no.

I will also never forget watching the PPV. We were all just stunned beyond words. We left it on, but I couldn't tell you one thing that happened after the accident.
