The creaks of an old building could be the settling of the floorboards, or, as some believe, the nighttime jaunts of a ghost.

To test what may be making nocturnal noise at the Southington Grange building on Summit Street, members of the New England Ghost Hunters Guild will make a moonlit investigation Saturday using their wits and a van full of high-tech equipment.

The Grange moved into its headquarters about 60 years ago, said President James Lamoureux, but the organization itself was founded 115 years ago. “People have a strong connection to the organization,” he said. That connection could mean friendly spirits want to stay in touch, Lamoureux mused.

“You hear creaks and the pipes go on. The curtains blow because the windows are leaky,” Lamoureux said. “I can’t say there is paranormal activity,” he added.

Paranormal investigators have become fairly well-known through popular television programs such as “Ghost Hunters” and “Paranormal State.”

Locally, the City Lights Paranormal Society has investigated Stemies Place in Easton and, recently, the Newburg Inn in Lower Nazareth Township in attempts to confirm or refute the alleged haunted history of both buildings.

Joe Iannetta, a car salesman by day and “ghosbuster” at night, had his team taking video and readings last week at the 250-year old restaurant in the Nazareth area.

Stories of ghosts at the Newburg Inn are well-known around Nazareth. Customers, workers and tenants have claimed to see apparitions including those of a former owner named Newt and an Indian reportedly hanged in the rafters of the attic.

Iannetta has to review more than 60 hours of video taken on the premise before revealing his findings.

A crew from A&E Television is looking for ghosts at a landmark hotel in northwestern Pennsylvania.

The crew from the cable channel’s “Paranormal State 3″ series is scheduled to wrap up shooting Tuesday of an episode for the upcoming third season at the Hotel Conneaut (KAW’-nee-awt). No air date has been set.

The hotel is part of the Conneaut Lake Park amusement park and resort complex about 80 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. Ghost watchers claim the hotel is home to spirits of a dancing couple in its ballroom, a bride named Elizabeth, and children riding a bicycle, among others.

As if 14 kids was not enough, Nadya Suleman apparently has another little visitor living with her, although this one at least was uninvited.

Suleman told RadarOnline that her house is haunted by the ghost of a young child.

She was apparently being serious when she said that she was just about to sit on the toilet when she heard a child — other than the multiple suspects living in her home — say, “Mommy?”

She also related that one of the nannies who helps her reported seeing a small child disappear in an upstairs room that’s always “unusually cold.”

“This is something you’re not supposed to believe in if you are a believer in God, but it’s something that I’m a little worried about,” she told the website.

If praying doesn’t make the ghost go away, she said she plans to buy 20 Bibles and put them around the home.

It’s hard to stump the staffers at Connecticut’s historical landmarks — they’re pretty well versed on their buildings’ one-time occupants. But there’s one common question for which they have no adequate answer: Is this place haunted?

Very old buildings commonly come with lore about spooky happenings, but rarely does anyone really explore these tales. To that end, officials with Connecticut Landmarks have tapped the East Haven-based Connecticut Paranormal Research Investigators (CT-PRI, for short) to get to the bottom of things.

Since May, the group has been schlepping its equipment — infrared cameras, temperature gauges, audio recorders, holy water — to four of the 12 properties maintained by Connecticut Landmarks. They concluded their on-site work last week, at Hartford’s oldest building, the Butler-McCook House on Main Street. After reviewing the evidence, they’ll put together their findings.

That will be the basis for a series of presentations for the public in September and October titled, appropriately, “Is This Place Haunted?”

The five-member CT-PRI was founded by Christine Kaczynski, who introduces herself as “coming from a family of exorcists in Greece.” A design engineer by day (she doesn’t charge for ghost-hunting), she’s been working in the paranormal field for 35 years and formed the group five years ago. Kaczynski points out that they’re not actually looking for hauntings, which are malevolent spirits, but for spiritual presences.

“The Haunting in Connecticut” is moving down the coast.

Producer Gold Circle is developing “The Haunting in Georgia,” a follow-up to this spring’s surprise hit.

The supernatural thriller centered on a family that moves to a new state and experiences spooky events in their home. The new movie is expected to follow a somewhat similar path but with a different family and setting.

Ti West, who directed the recent 1980s-set horror tale “House of the Devil,” has signed on to direct “Georgia.” Peter Cornwell directed the first film.

David Coggeshall is writing the “Georgia” screenplay. He wrote the upcoming thriller “Solo.”

Lionsgate distributed “Connecticut” but has not yet announced a formal deal for “Georgia.”

The modestly budgeted “Connecticut” became one of the breakouts of a surprisingly muscular first quarter at the box office, earning $55 million domestically despite having no marquee names in its cast. It’s the 25th-most profitable film of the year.

“The Othersiders” (Wednesday 8 p.m.) is pretty much a direct ripoff of “Ghost Hunters” from Sci-Fi Channel, only with teenagers. A team of kids goes to spooky places to try to either prove or debunk that they’re haunted. It’s so scene-for-scene similar to “Ghost Hunters” that it feels like a spoof. Lots of night-vision cameras and ooooooh-this-is-supposed-to-be-scary suspense, but nothing that hasn’t been seen before.

Sam’s a blood-sucking fiend, Lucifer walks the earth and all hell is literally breaking loose. That’s the situation the Winchester brothers (and their friend Bobby) will face when Supernatural returns to the CW for season five this fall. Can the world be saved, and more importantly, will the boys survive with their skins (and their relationship) intact?

We just caught up with Jensen Ackles (that’s Dean himself, duh) at the Paley Center’s Sixth Annual Celebrity Golf Classic and got him to answer these very questions. Read on for the scoop on Sam and Dean’s role in the Apocalypse and the latest on those season-six rumors…
