He's never spoken of anything paranormal at all happening to him directly.

I think the spirits are using him as a conduit, like his music is what's fueling their fire, their urge to stay there. He brings so much energy into that building every night and weekend with his music. Carl is about like Bobby, too. Except Carl believes a hundred percent about what's going on. He's such an old soul and a loving person. I believe he's accidentally let something in when he got possessed." /p
