(Memphis) Do you believe in ghosts?

Many people do and say they�ve seen the man who robbed a Wells Fargo Bank and killed himself when he was cornered by police.

A paranormal investigator says he�s been contacted by two people in East Memphis where the bank robber died.

Those who�ve apparently seen this ghost have seen it at the exact spot where the bank robber ended his life.

�I haven�t been looking but I will probably see it now that it is in my head,� said Lori McCaghren, who lives on Walnut Grove.

From her front door, McCaghren has the perfect view of the corner of Walnut Grove and Perkins. She has yet to see the ghost

�I mean, what time of day?� she asked.

�A shadowy figure that you can see through,� said Mike Einspanjer, the owner of Memphis Paranormal Investigations and grief counselor.

Einspanjer says he�s had two people contact him, a man and woman, about seeing Marvin Amerson at night, back from the dead.

Amerison killed himself July 23rd after robbing a Wells Fargo Bank on Poplar.

He took police on a chase and then crashed his van.

Instead of surrendering, Amerson ended his life.

Einspanjer says suicides often produce ghosts.



�This wasn�t a planned event,� said Einspanjer. �He did it in the spur of the moment and that�s a lot to deal with and it takes time.�

Amerson also left behind a wife and a son, �So that�s a lot of pain and a lot of grief that he has to work through.�

�I have a perfect view and I look out all the time,� said McCaghren.

Those we spoke with live near the intersection and say they aren�t the ones who called the ghost hunter for help.
�So you haven`t seen him either?� asked reporter Sabrina Hall.

�I haven�t seen him and I sit out here quite a bit too,� said Steven Loughridge, who lives on Perkins. �I haven�t seen him or heard him.�

If the ghost is real, the paranormal investigator says there is no telling when it will leave because he says earthbound spirits only cross over when they are ready to let go.

Einspanjer says he keeps those who contact him confidential.
