Syfy might be coming to Hickory

HICKORY --Does Hickory have enough spooks to warrant a visit from the Syfy channel’s “Ghost Hunters” team? David McLaughlin thinks so.

He entered the city in Syfy’s America’s Home Town Ghost Hunt. The 50 finalists have been selected, and Hickory is right there among cities such as Cincinnati, Gettysburg, San Antonio and Raleigh.

“There is a lot of paranormal activity in Hickory,” McLaughlin said. “We’re loaded with ghosts.”
