to advertise
a placid, somnolent smile, but sf
sleep.
Sometimes, she sings an unidentifiable melody. At
other times, the sound resembles a moan or a hum.
Most often, she is heard but not seen as she strolls the
halls and stairwells of a Mistletoe Heights home.
Terry Smith and Mark Jean call her the “Humming
Ghost of Mistletoe Heights,” and though they have
heard her haunting refrains, they never have seen her.
Yet some people say they have seen the warbling
woman-ghost.
One former resident of the house said the specter
“liked the pantry, the basement and the stairwell com
ing up to the pantry from the basement.” The resident
said she remembered waking one night to find the
ghost next to her bed. The haunting spirit was upset
that food was missing from the pantry. The woman re
placed the food and the ghost disappeared.
Are such supernatural experiences to be believed or
discarded?
For more than three years, Smith and Jean have con
fronted that question head-on. They are ghost-hunters
and they insist, skeptical ones.
They have, with permission and varying degrees of
success, probed many of the familiar poltergeist stories
of Texas.
Smith, 28, and Jean, 32, might be called ghostbusters
except that they aren’t out to bust any, uh, thing or be
ing. They are more trackers, or stalkers, than busters.
They carry no slime and have no intent of capturing or
disturbing the ghosts.
By trade, Smith produces independent films and vi
deos. He lists his other qualifications as “former magi
cian, illusionist and escape artist .” He says he engages in
“in-depth studies in parapsychology, magic and the
paranormal findings of Harry Houdini and Harry
Price.”
Jean specializes in infrared and high-definition pho
tography and photo developing. On the side, he plays
the guitar.
“We’re investigating locations and talking with eye
witnesses, people who’ve seen or experienced some
thing,” Smith said. “In the future, we hope to do a doc
umentary on ghosts of Texas.”
The duo has spent the night in the woods and
dabbled in parapsychology. Cajoling the spirits with old
music and religious symbols, they have tried to coax out
the ghouiies.
“But we don’t conduct seances or use Ouija boards,
that sort of thing, unless there’s a good reason,” Jean
said. “That’s not really what we’re into. We want people
to know that we’re very serious. What we do is scientific.
“So far, we’ve gotten a fairly good reception. We’ve
been in some of the nicest homes in Fort Worth. Most
people have been very cooperative with us because they
want to know about these things, too. We want people
to know that if they do experience something, we’re
here and we’re not nuts.”
They also use two prepared questionnaires. The
longer of the two notes: “This information will not be
published or used in any way without previous permis
sion.”
“T hat’s very important to what we do," Sniithj I4 st
“Some people won’t talk to us, because they've ls
hassled before.” See

sightings have come from eyewitness interviews. -

They would like to reopen the 1984 Hurst
burger inquiry, but have no leads to pursue MEj
none of the restaurant’s present employees has!
enced a ghost there.
At present, Smith and Jean are heavily invol/Kj
trying to solve several puzzling Texas tales thati
the paranormal. Among them are the purport*^;
Paso Theatre ghost, allegations of an appearancf
Virgin Mary in Lubbock in 1988 (“Recently a
appearance occurred in New Orleans,” Smith an^^^
report), the Marfa ghost lights and the ghost
Sealy home in Galveston.
In the case of the Mistletoe Heights humming’^t;
they have interviewed four past residents of the
guaranteeing anonymity to all. Three of them,
views taped by Smith and Jean, came up with 5^
tingly similar descriptions of the crooning »
ghost. E5
Smith said that although one of the four foriitf 1 *^
dents said she did not experience anything u
there, the testimony of the other three lead the® ! 9E*
lieve that if the specter is real, it is perhaps that of
one who lived or died in the house in the past.
Smith and Jean, with the owners’ permission Se
five nights in the house. Twice they have enlist
help of psychic Elaine Gibbs to conduct seances
residence.
They never saw they ghost, but they make
port: R*
“On the night of July 11, 1987, ... a womaniHj
was heard by all three participants (inducWB^
