  <subtitle>Below is an investigation we did on May 27, 2007, Sunday.  Many people in the Sacramento Area think that Dyer Lane is haunted.  This is what we found:

Today is May 27, 2007, Sunday - Memorial Day weekend. The time for barbecues and family get togethers. If my life was normal perhaps I would be doing these things. I guess it's somewhat normal, I did attend a wedding in Lockeford Springs on Saturday and I had a guest coming in from Stockton, that stayed with me until Sunday. That is when the no...</subtitle>

    <summary type="text">I firmly believe this road is haunted. On two occasions friends and I went down this road and both times I felt things and saw proof. The first time we went was halloween night and I didn't see anything with my own eyes but most people don't went it comes to paranormal activity. It's always hard to catch stuff on camera. I always watch documentaries. I'm addicted to paranormal state and ghost adventures. But anyway, that halloween night we stopped right before driving down the road and sprinkled flour on the hood of the car and drove down the road and left. After that we got out of the car and sure enough they're hand prints all over the hood. The next day my buddy's car that we took down there wouldn't start. The car's battery was drained and he ended up not being to start it and got rid of it. The story I've heard about this road is that the Klu Klux Clan hung blacks along the trees. The second time I went down this road. I didn't do the whole flour or baby powder on the hood thing but experienced much of the same things I did the first time. Both times that I've gone down this road. I felt ice cold and very strange. My friend and I are sensitives and I'm more empathic but she cried after we left because she felt so much sadness and suffering there. We went in her brand new pt cruiser that she had just bought 4 days ago and the next day she went to start her car and the lights on her dashboard went haywire. There is definitely something here and the best way I could explain this road is this. You come up to a sharp turn left and that's the start of the creepyness of the road. At the end of this road is a pile of junk and garbage that  sits on the corner and it sharp turns to the right. If you drive any further than this pile you get this feeling like if you go further you will drive off the face of the earth. It kinda feels like your entering hell or a point of no return. I wish I could say I was feeding you garbage but I'm really not. There's something about this road that draws you to come back. Almost the same feeling that draws you back to play with a ouija board.</summary>

    <summary type="text">That is what I love about EVP work. Stories are fun but get changed over time as they are told and retold. Memories are pretty unreliable really, they change too... Orbs can be fun but they can be a bazillion different things. EVPs are pretty hard to argue with if the conditions that they are collected in are fairly controlled and the voices of the people around you are accounted for...</summary>

    <summary type="text">To be honest, My mother and cousin and I just went down this road a couple hours ago after seeing it on t.v. We had never heard of it before. Anyways, there were alot of drawings and stuff on the road, we figured it was kids pulling pranks- it all had the air of high school bull to me. 

We stopped and talked to a man who was riding his bike, who was drunk as hell, and he said he'd never seen a thing riding through there day and night except placer police. But he told us about a rumor about the corner where the car crash had happened, so we went over there and took some recordings. An hour or so later, we went to taco bell and listened, and on the recorder my mom had said "If someone's here, please say so-" or something to that effect. 8 seconds later, loud and clear as day, a voice, not any of us and on a totally different frequency after we looked at it at home in audacity said "Yeeeesssss...." and about 20 seconds later a sound that seemed like a cross between a purr and a growl. 

Freaked us out like mad hell. =/ 

I'm usually very skeptical on these hunts, I didn't feel or sense a thing while I was out there, but that EVP was creepy enough to make me wonder if the street is haunted enough.

I think quite a bit of it is sensationalized and immature pranks from kids, there doesn't seem to be much behind the rumors either (no news paper clippings or anything). But that EVP was incredibly clear, and super creepy.</summary>

    <summary type="text">Geoff, some paranormal magazines pay me for my articles.  I get some perks...like free hotel rooms and while in Aruba, I received a free submarine ride.  They wanted me to mention their website in my Natalee Holloway story.&#xD;
&#xD;
Susan: In 2007, we did get a couple of EVPs from this area.  We are going back there on Feb 20th for a full investigation.  If interested, call me at 916 203 7503.</summary>
