Haunted America
The Kemper Arena
By: Rob Lefebvre, Anchor Staff
Issue date: 2/5/08 Section: Lifestyles
In the years since his death, there have been multiple reports of sightings of (the ghost of) Owen Hart. Employees have claimed to have seen him in the rafters wearing the costume he was wearing for his gimmick as well as the cable before he began the descent. There have also been reports of flickering lights and other power sources that seem to go on and off in some areas of the arena.
Owen Hart's death was an absolute tragedy for the wrestling world. For someone to lie about seeing the ghost of a person like Owen Hart would take a lot of nerve. However, it would not be the first time someone has. If he is haunting the Kemper Arena, it would make sense for him to be in the rafters, constantly reliving the events that led to his unfortunate demise. However, it would not make sense as it was known amongst the workers of WWF that he was afraid of heights, and had only done such a stunt very few times. The flickering lights and power losses could also be caused by faulty wiring or failing bulbs. But it is said that ghosts need energy to manifest and that they gather it from batteries and other appliances, so it could be Owen taking energy from the lights and outlets.
So, does the Kemper Arena still have someone performing there? There has been no way to prove if such a haunting exists as no one has attempted to investigate and have preferred to leave the issue alone. But someday, someone may try and evidence may be obtained to prove that Owen Hart ('s spirit) may still be among us.

I wonder if he's wrestling Chris Benoit's ghost while he's up there.

I was in attendance that night when Owen Hart fell. I still have the image in my head and dream about it from time to time. I feel bad about it because it seems that I shouldn't of been there to witness it. (Continued…)

I think Benoit is "down under" (and I don't mean Australia) if you get my drift, so he would not participate in the ghostly triple threat.
As far as ghosts go, I don't believe in them, and call b. (Continued…)

Apparently Benoit's mind was like that of a 80-90 year old dementia patient, and his doctor's said yesterday that the event actually wasn't caused by roid rage and wasn't necessarliy his fault. (Continued…)

I for one am not easily convinced of such things as ghosts and spirits. If someone is making this up to cause a commotion or something they are truely sick individuals. (Continued…)

Yeah sure, and Lincoln's "ghost" told me to jump of the Brooklyn Bridge. There's no such things as ghosts, aliens, Big Foot, or UFOs

I believe in supernatural activity. For as much evidence that can be dismissed or "debunked" if you will, there is just as much that cannot. But it is aurguement with no conclusion. (Continued…)
