Have you been hearing things go bump in the night? Are there shifting shadows or misplaced items in your home?

Who you gonna call?!

Ghostbusters may exist only in fantasy, but Jon Gray can still be your phantom-prowling man.

In an interview with MLB Network Radio, the Colorado Rockies pitcher revealed his interest in investigating the presence of specters.

His experience includes a trip to The Stanley Hotel (famous for inspiring Stephen King's The Shining) in Estes Park—with hopes for a solo outing—and he offered a detailed description of the ghost-hunting process:

"

There are different ways and different cameras … technology out there that can give you some different readings on things. A lot of people think that when they detect a ghost, it’s temperature; a lot of people think it’s electromagnetic fields. But there’s these cameras that can see full spectrum and colors that human eyes can’t pick up. They see anomalies, use EVPs [Electronic Voice Phenomenon] to catch disembodied voices. It’s just kind of interesting.

"

Just don't ask him to scope out his own place. Hobby aside, he's happier being ignorant to any possible unseen roommates.

And even if Gray did suspect any haunted goings-on, his baseball capabilities may be better-than-adequate self-defense.

Can ghosts withstand the power of an oncoming fastball?
