Christchurch's crime busters may be in need of some ghostbusters.

Officers at the Hornby station say there have been paranormal occurrences in the building for many years, but there are no clues on who the phantom may be.

Senior Sergeant Pete Laloli, who has run the Hornby station for 20 years, said the night-time spooks had been present as long as he could remember. "If you're in the station by yourself, strange things happen."

Why haven't they set up cameras then?

It would capture the doors opening etc.

Though it seems to be a logical way to try to get a better understanding of this situation, I find that it is often that logical thinking towards finding the evidence to support claims is overlooked in many situations such as this.

I don't suppose they're so interested in capturing evidence, if it was me and related to my job I'd feel conscious of looking unprofessional. But I would have thought a police station would naturally have CCTV covering as much as possible and surely that must have caught something?

Obviously thinking is critical..simply because sense isn't common..

I believe in "ghosts", but I would also not dismiss the idea of officers pulling pranks on other officers.

If this is the same police station i heard about last year, they put the particularly nasty criminals in a certain holding cell. In this cell it is often reported that you can hear screaming, as if someone is in pain.

Police aren't hired for their brains.

I am sure they posted cameras -- and even if the cops DIDN'T have cameras, it's already been established that doors open & close and that the lights go on an off.  This activity is self-actualizing. I think they should research the history of the land and of the building itself.  Perhaps the spirit is attached to an object that found its way between the halls: a gift, a decoration, something taken into evidence?

I saw a ghost and it is cool.  Really opened my eyes to the fact there is more to death than we know about.

They said a catholic church once stood where the station is.  Even though there are no graves a priest could of died in the church or on the grounds.

[Lava_Lady]

Cool!  I would love to visit and experience the ghost, but now that I know there is a ghost there, would I really be experiencing the ghost?

I've been on a couple ghost tours and never really "felt" anytHing whereother people have.  I got some great orbs though.  

Edit to clarify, I mean on camera... I got some great shots of orbs with my camera.

There was no record of anyone dying in the station or any prisoners held there overnight, he said.

Its possible that the Station Could be on a Ley Line.

Or it could be a Human unknowingly causing the phenomenon to occur possible through telekinesis.
