A would-be ghostbuster got busted up when she fell 15 to 20 feet through the roof of an abandoned train station in Buffalo, local reports said.
The 35-year-old woman and a man were taking part in a paranormal investigation of the Buffalo Central Terminal on Saturday at 10:30 p.m. when she plunged through the top of a substation, according to reports.
She was rushed to a local hospital and treated for multiple unspecified injuries, The Buffalo News stated. The ghost-hunting pair didn’t have permission to be on the property, which hasn’t seen a train in 42 years.

Ghost Hunter thinks outside the box, becomes ghost to catch ghosts.
Butt ugly building BTW.
An attractive nuisance?
I wish no ill for anyone, but ghost hunters falling to their demise... makes me think of a snake oil salesman falling off his wagon and makes me chuckle.
What a beautiful old building! It obviously hasn’t seen roof repair in 42 years either.
Maybe she will become a ghost herself.
Ghost of Ghostbuster, roaming around Buffalo train station! That would be cool!
Rough neighborhood too, surprised their car was still there when they came out.
It is abandoned, it is crumbling, but it is being preserved for historical renovation. Here’s some history:

Another reason to make ghost hunting illegal.
I guess she’s trying to be the Incredible Mrs. Limpet of the ghost hunting world.
We are constantly annoyed by ghost hunters because of the cemetery near us. I hope this person isn’t terribly injured, and I hope she gets over her foolish obsession with the hobby. According to locals, several people who visit the cemetery here end up needing to deep clean their car’s floor mats. Of course I have no knowledge of any potential criminal activity.
Was she white?
She can be “White Buffalo Woman.”
Who ya gonna fall?
15 to 20 feet? That’s nothing compared to Alan Magee, a ball-turret gunner in a B-17, who fell almost 22,000 feet and went through the roof of the St Nazaire railway station in France in 1943. Magee was badly injured, but survived.
Not a fan of Art Deco ?
“...which hasn’t seen a train in 42 years. “

That clock would make a nice bit of decor.
Of course, it’s probably 15 feet in diameter, so you would need a big wall (and a room behind it for the machinery).
As long as they have a permit and there’s a limit to one ghost per hunter, I’m fine with ghost hunting.
Excellent point!
