Tropicana Field Is Haunted By G-G-G-G-GHOOOOOOSTS

Plenty of Tampa Bay Rays fans attend games disguised as empty seats, but Monday night it sounded like the stadium had been invaded by spirits from beyond the grave.

Most likely air fluctuations due to the continuing storm conditions throughout Florida, the sound was straight out of a Scooby-Doo cartoon. Video From Sun Sports with Rays’ broadcasters Dewayne Staats & Brian Anderson on the call:

Update: Rays field reporter Todd Kalas reports the noise was feedback from speakers that were affected when Tropicana Field took a direct lightning strike.

h/t to Larry Brown Sports for alerting me to what was going on.

Todd Kalas has no clue what he is talking about.
Does he really believe us to be that stupid?
