Next time you heard to the Kemper Arena to watch the Kansas City Brigade be sure to look up in the rafters because you just might catch a glimpse of the late, great Owen Hart in his Blue Blazer costume. That is if you believe college newspapers with no sources.
The column, called “Haunted America,” runs regularly in The Anchor, a student newspaper at Rhode Island College, and discusses various ghost sightings and suspected supernatural activities across the country. We should note that the column discussing the ghost story at Kemper Arena had no attributions.
“Employees (at Kemper Arena) have claimed to have seen (Hart) in the rafters wearing the costume he was wearing for his gimmick,” the newspaper wrote, “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.”
Hart plunged 78 feet to his death at Kemper Arena when the quick-release mechanism on his harness opened as he was lowered from a catwalk.
No knock on Owen Hart, but if you want to see some serious sports royalty then you gotta make your way to FedExField to catch a Skins game because more careers have died there than anywhere.
