heart valve tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto , any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto monitoring restrictions. treatment with xarelto ... ...was the right move for us. . how do they make starburst taste so juicy? they use wicked small fighter jets to shoot the juiciness into every starburst.

halloween once was known as all hallows eve. >> a night when spirits came back to visit the living. >> and ghosts are synonymous with halloween. >> so perhaps it's only fitting we sent dylan dreyer to an old ghost town to try to find some. >> and i think we might have. that's at least what i felt there. we headed to a town frozen in time 30 miles south of the

california state capital. there's definitely something strange in the neighborhood. we didn't call ghost busters but we called the true from travel channel's "ghost adventures." >> pulled me down these stairs here. >> what's wrong? >> they travel in search of spirits most of us would like to avoid. >> i call it the city of ghosts. >> 11 seasons spent hunting for ghosts here at home and around the world. lead investigator zach along with aaron, bill and jay, four guys who don't fear the paranormal. they go looking for it, and for one day i geared up to go with them. >> this is it. this is all there is. >> lock, a chinese farming town established in the early 1900s. >> so is it still up and running? is it kind of a ghost town? what is it now? >> it's kind of a ghost town. it is a ghost town literally. >> a man was killed over a

building, an old casino and opium den that's now a museum. our mission, to connect with the vic victim or his killer. >> how do you feel? >> my heart is already racing. i mean, when the sun was still out i was okay with all of this, but now that it's dark it's just a whole different feel. >> the old casino was pitch black, but we were equipped with devices specially designed to find spirits in the dark. first, using an audio device that turns energy into words. >> what do you want from us? i'm going to put this on the table. >> i just put this on the table. >> a bet on the blackjack table was a good start but we continued our quest for more evidence using a structured light sensor camera and an audio device called a spirit box to talk to the casino killer. >> come on, george, we know that you murdered chris. >> i -- i just saw a stick figure thing over on that.

>> did you just show yourself to >> i did. >> three strong signals in less than an hour is rare, even for the ghost adventurer's group who wanted to take a close look atner of center where they this is an nbc news special report. here's matt lour and savannah guthrie. >> good morning everyone. nbc news has learned the white house is about to announce a shift to the u.s. military strategy in iraq and syria. >> we understand this will mean more troops involved on the ground in that region. let's bring in richard angle. richard, good morning. tell us about this change and it sounds like it's an doing in syria and iraq is not working. >> reporter: the white house is

expected to hear from the white house shortly making this announcement. others, however, will call it a significant change. first of all, it involves sending a small number of americans special operations forces into syria. that means american boots on the ground in syria working with local partners. in the past the u.s. has only been advising and assisting from afar mostly through air strikes. more fighter jets will be sent here to turkey conducting more air strikes against isis. a a-10s are already here and a-15s are on the way. action will be placed in

campaign against isis. when you look at it altogether, there are three significant announcements, all of them involve deeper u.s. military engagement on the war on isis. >> thank you for that. stand by there. >> let's go to nbc's nick. what are they saying at the pentagon? >> matt, after more than a year of yearly 8,000 air strikes against enemy forces in both iraq and syria, the best that senior military officials can say is that the fight there against isis is at a stalemate. the overall plan is just not working. training and equipping iraqi forces, syria rebels has not proven to be a breaking point. they need a game changer. they're going to be far more aggressive in terms of the special forces operations on the ground. military officials will tell you you cannot win a war with air

strikes alone. you need some boots on the ground. the white house says these are not boots on the ground, this is not a change but in fact, it is a change for a more aggressive strategy and effort to defeat and destroy isis which afterall is president obama's goal. >> before you go, i want to go over these numbers again. richard angle is saying not to exceed 100. these are special operations forces, will they be fighting alongside serian rebel groups? >> that is still unclear. they will indeed be fighting along with kurds as they did in iraq just a little more than a week ago in which the army maeser sergeant was killed. not clear they will be fighting side by side with the serian rebel groups. there's still a lot of gray area and doubts about exactly who you may be fighting with when you're on the ground in syria unless, of course, it's the serian kurds. >> all right, thank you.

>> let's go to the white house now. kristin welker is live there. this president has not wanted to be more involved in these conflicts finds himself once again sending more troops into these dangerous areas. >> reporter: and that is the key point here. the white house trying to down play this announcement. we do not anticipate we'll hear from president obama about this. his press secretary will address the media at 12:30 today. this is a shift in policy for a president who wanted to ramp down the wars in iraq and afghanistan and were called just a few weeks ago president obama said he was going to leave a larger troop presence in afghanistan and now for the first time troops in syria. we'll hear more.

we're announcing the white house plans say there's going to be an enhancement and shift in strategy that will involve more troops in these areas. >> we're going to be hearing that from the white house in a little while. more on this with a full wrap
