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>

    <content type="text">The end of 2007 to 2008 my friends and I use to party down there all the time.. we have had a cop follow us then disappear.. another night 4 of us drove of the side of the road and partied in the car for a few hours listenng to music because it was cold. When we started to leave we backed out of where we had turned in and something started smashing through the back seat where a friend and I were sitting. We got out of the car a huge tree stump magically appeared behind us and was stuck under the car... one friend took off runing while another friend and I pushed the car off the stump while the driver was steering... sooo creepy. Havnt been on that road since. While partying a few times before that... random people have shown up and talked to us and then disappeared...I believe it is haunted</content>

    <content type="text">Hi paul. My name is rochelle. I just went down this street last night. Its definately creepy and there are some crazy people. We had a car pull on the side of us and tryto start a conversation and get us to pull over. Then a car followed us for an hour and a half but it was just some girls. Me and my friends love doing fun little paranormal outings. I have an e.v.p. From sailor bar in orangevale. Also my friends and i have seen an apparation. Its pretty creepy. We have also been to the round room in grass valley and we have had plenty of wierd things happen there. You should check them out if you have time or havent already.</content>

    <content type="text">I spent a lot of time here in the 1960 and 1970's.  Listening to Credence, picking almonds and blackberries, swimming in the creek when our work was done.   It was good family fun and we never felt scared of anything.  I love walking down Dyer Lane because the oak trees form an arch over the road.  In the spring, wind blows the wild grasses like a ballet.  All I ever experienced there was good.</content>

    <content type="text">When I was in high school, in the mid - late 80's, my friends and I went to Dyer Lane, after going to an all ages night club. We were curious and wanted to have some fun, after hearing about 2 boys being hung and murdered on meet hooks, in the slaughter house (funny how that story keeps changing about the slaughter house) and about the KKK. We intentionally drove through there, wanting to either draw attention or to debunk the urban legends, by having 2 people ride on the hood of my car, both Hispanic (It was their idea, not mine). At this point, we were thinking, we didn't see the KKK, obviously, since it was known they use to be there in the 30's and 40's. But we did almost see that tree, at the bend of the road, closer than what we wanted? It was a close call, but no one got hurt. Unfortunately, though, my car did get stuck in the mud and we had to all get out and push it. The joke was on us, trying to be bad asses, when we were suddenly an easy target for any pissed off ghosts or the living? But nothing happened, that night. Although, when some of us came back, two weeks later, on a Saturday night, we saw a huge burning cross. This freaked us out. So, we turned around and drove out of there, like a bat out of hell. One of my close friends, who was with us and was her first time there, decided to never speak to me, again. Oops! We seriously did not believe any of the KKK were still there? Anyhow, I also remember seeing an old man on a tractor and saw him, when I had returned, for the first time, in 20 years.</content>

    <content type="text">I went to Center jr high and HS.I believe Dyer lane IS haunted, from what I have personally seen any heard out there. My friends and I spent a lot of time out there(since we could easily hide and get drunk without being bothered by adults and law enforcement) and would go out there day and night. Naturally night time was when we had the most "experiences". Now, 15 to 20 years later I still live only about 3/4 miles from it. My husband and I are gonna go out and do some EVPs and see what we come up with.</content>

    <content type="text">My family and I have had several "encounters". I was still in high school the first time I experienced the road. I was with a boy I was dating and we stopped on the corner, when we tried to start the car, it would not start, not only that but, there were several cow heads that were still warm and bleeding on the fence posts. &#xD;
&#xD;
another time I was pregnant my mom, brother and a friend went down the road, we had a truck in front of us, the truck slowed down and kicked a body out of the back of the truck, when we reached the area where the body should have been there was nothing there. the truck had disappeared too.&#xD;
&#xD;
I have had "something" come at the window of my car, I have seen a rocking chair in the fallen down house rocking, in a slow back and forth fashion. No wind, no one around. I have heard screams of a woman, cries of a child, I believe that his place is most surely inhabited by spirits.</content>

    <content 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.</content>

    <content 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...</content>

    <content 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.</content>

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.</content>
