PITTSBURGH - Internationally renowned parapsychologist Dr. Lucius Q. C. Lamar said he has found the most haunted place in America: the set of WBGN-TV's "It's Alive," a Saturday night scary film fest similar to Pittsburgh's classic "Chiller Theater" that ruled the local airwaves for two decades until its demise in 1983. "It's Alive" is hosted by Mark Menold, who calls himself Professor Emcee Square on the show. Dr. Lamar said that last Thursday evening, his Ganzfield Meter, which measures alpha wave disturbances indicating paranormal activity, achieved its highest readings ever inside the "It's Alive" studio, on the second floor of Pittsburgh Filmmakers.
"I witnessed firsthand the most disturbing demonic spiritual possession I have ever heard of," said Dr. Lamar. Dr. Lamar said he saw two grown men, one made up as if he were a corpse, the other dressed as a clown, conversing on a set that resembled the one used on the "Tonight Show." Then the clown jumped up on a desk and began to mimic a donkey, repeatedly kicking his giant legs out. Then the corpse-like man jumped atop him and pretended to ride him. "The entire time," Dr. Lamar explained, "the two men acted as if this spectacle somehow was entertaining." Dr. Lamar shuddered at the memory of the event. "I assure you, this was something science simply cannot explain."
