MUSKEGON, MI -- Are you a believer?

Evidence of the paranormal has been documented on the USS Silversides Submarine, USCGC McLane and the USS Silversides Submarine Museum, said Mark Briones, co-founder of Marter Paranormal.

It took years for Briones to believe in the supernatural and paranormal. He founded the investigative company about five years ago, after beginning research about eight years ago.

The Marter team will conduct a paranormal investigation on the Muskegon submarine, USCGC McLane and the adjacent Museum on Friday, Oct. 28, and the public is invited to join in.

"I can almost guarantee you we'll have some kind of occurrence," Briones said.

Here's a video from Marter Paranormal's previous investigation:

He and many other paranormal researchers have already collected electronic voice phenomenon (EVP), thermal images and saw movement on the ships and in the museum during an investigation over the summer.

And Marter wasn't the first to try to connect with spirits of the past on the ships. According to Dan Holroyd, of Southern Michigan Paranormals, the USS Silversides is the second most haunted place in West Michigan, reports WRKR.

The first is The State Theatre in Kalamazoo, Holroyd said.

Here's a video of an investigation at the USS Silversides that Dan Holroyd posted on DailyMotion:

During the Marter investigation in July, thermal and voice phenomenon were found in the museum, and most of the movement was in the USCGC McLane, Briones said.

"You get people that want try to answer questions for themselves, occasionally, they do get scared," he said of the investigative events his group often hosts.

The USS Silversides event will be held from 8 p.m.-9 a.m., Oct. 28-29. There is a limit of 20 people. Tickets are $50 each. Participants must be 18 or older.

Marter will start the evening with a presentation including video from the group's first investigation.

During the event, Marter will host an investigation and conduct experiments. Attendees can also bring handheld equipment to investigate on their own.

"I would hope it would be people who are interested and looking for answers," Briones said. "I hope people won't get scared and freak out."
