The Story
Visitors and staff report footsteps, knocking, doors opening and closing, unexpected touches and figures in the dark fort. Syfy's investigation focused on these accounts in its tunnels and rooms. Fort Adams itself offers paranormal-themed tours, while the claims remain part of the fortress's visitor folklore rather than established military history.
