Doors opening and closing, strange noises, shadows, all that was missing was 6-foot-9 butler named “Lurch.” “I’m convinced it’s haunted,” Mora said. “I just warn everyone who stays that it’s haunted, but they’re good ghosts.” In that location, it could just be echoes from a 1970s toga party Mora is hearing, but a little humor goes a long way in a sport that allows so little of it. Thamel brought up the ghost story in a production meeting and, with Halloween a couple of days away, ESPN sent reporter Gene Wojciechowski to Storrs with a production crew and a team of paranormal investigators from Boston, they kid me not, to investigate Mora’s claims. No spoiler: Their findings will be revealed in the segment. “I’m not going to give away he findings, but let’s just say its very interesting,” said ESPN’s Drew Gallagher, a BC grad and coordinating producer of GameDay. “It’s fun, and we love doing stories that are off-beat and different, so we figured, ‘what the hell?’” And while they were at the creaky, kooky Mora residence, ESPN held up a candle to illuminate the subject, a coach with NFL and Power Five credentials taking on a task most think is impossible, and making a little headway in his first year. “It starts with Jim Mora,” Gallagher said. “We know he’s a good character and would have some fun with a story like this. He’s a different kind of coach, he kind of gets it. Even if they were like 0-11, it would be a fun story. But the truth is, they are moving in the right direction, so it is a way to spotlight it. We take pride in covering the entire sport and I think UConn is one of the good stories in the sport this season.” <- [/QUOTE]
