Ghost Girls Tales: Table for Six Takes a Haunted Tour with Ghost Girls
By Paul Dale Roberts, Ghost Girl Paranormal Investigator/Ghostwriter

Nancy Bradley - Celebrity Psychic is just that...a celebrity psychic. Her clients are major players in the entertainment industry, government and in the political arena. This night Friday, October 24, 2008, Shannon McCabe - Ghosthunter Extraordinaire and Nancy Bradley - Celebrity Psychic were to take the Table for Six crew (www.TableforSix.com) on a haunted tour of Old Sacramento. Nancy was called off on an emergency reading for a powerful client and called me and asked if I could take her place. It was an honor. Since I am part of the Ghost Girls Paranormal Investigative Team, it wasn't hard for me to fill in on some of the Ghost Girls ghost stories, especially since I am their ghostwriter.

Let's take a roll call to see who was on this tour: Shannon Logan & Heather Brenner of Table for Six; Steve Haynes, Megan Ham, Carole Vance and Jessica Roberson. Some of the haunted places that Shannon took the Table for Six crew to were: The Delta King, Evangelines, Vega's Night Club & Sports Bar, Fanny Ann's Saloon, Fulton's Restaurant. Note: Since I have written about all of these haunted locations, I will not elaborate more about them in this article and will move onto stories that you have never heard before.

Shannon took the crew to the Old Sacramento School House. The Old Sacramento Schoolhouse Museum was established in September 1977. The design and contents closely match those of the one-room Canon School, built in 1884 to serve students in the Northern California community of Brooks in the Capay Valley (located in Yolo County). Although the school house is relatively new, there is some haunting activity that has taken place here. Footsteps are heard. People have heard ghostly children playing in the school yard. Other type of voices that seem to come out of nowhere are heard and some people who have visited this museum claimed to have been touched. During an investigation, white mist was present in a photograph near the tree.

We stopped at the Sacramento River and Shannon explained the legend of La Llorona at the Waterfront. La Llorona is known as the crying woman. This ghost has terrified the Hispanic community from the United States to South America for over five hundred years. Legend has it, that La Llorona was betrayed by her husband and drowned her children out of revenge in a nearby river. The punishment for this horrific act, is that her spirit is condemned to roam the Earth for eternity, as she cries for her children. Across the Sacramento River, a group of Hispanics that were camping and fishing, claimed to have seen the La Llorona and Shannon points at the area of the river where she was sighted. An added note: La Llorona was also seen near the Colorado River and legend has it that she tried to drown two men in a canoe. I pointed out that a mere 4 miles down the Sacramento River, two fisherman were approached by a weary looking fisherman and he went up to their campfire and asked..."any luck?" The two fisherman thought he was an odd looking man and when they left the campsite, the strange fisherman was standing in the middle of the road. When they passed him by, they looked in the rear view mirror and he had vanished. This ghost is known as the Fisherman of the Sacramento River Banks.

The Sacramento River is filled with haunting activity from people that died in boating accidents, drownings, etc. But, I also pointed out that I-5/Sutterville was the murder site for the I-5 Killer. There was two I-5 Killers. The first one was Roger Kibbe that lived in the Sacramento area and the other is Randall Woodfield also known as the I-5 Killer and former Playgirl model and once tried out for the Green Bay Packers. Most people think it was Randall that killed one of his victims at I-5 and Sutterville, when in reality it was most likely Roger Kibbe. When I did a scouting mission at this location, this is where we took a picture of a black orb hovering over the Sacramento River. Nancy theorizes that a black orb represents someone that has passed away recently. Other theories suggest it represents depression or sadness. Of course, I like Nancy's theory the best!

As the tour continued, we stopped by the Sunken Graveyard and pointed out other haunted locations such as: The Firehouse Restaurant, Cafe New Orleans that was formerly known as The Union (discotecque), Annabelle's (Pizza - formerly was The Ritz -disco nightclub and also the Gold Mine Shaft disco nightclub in the disco 70s). Our tour ended at Fanny Ann's Saloon, Vegas' Night Club and Sports Bar and last, but not least Evangelines.

But, we did get one question that I was compelled to answer, because it's a question I get a lot and perhaps I should discuss it here. The question: "Why do ghosts linger around one location?" My answer: "Theory has it, that when a person dies, they may have been very religious, they see the light and instead of going into the light, they think of their past sins. They feel that if they enter the light, that they will be judged and may face Hell, eternal damnation. So, they have the option of not going into the light. What then happens is the 'ghost police', or entities from a higher power, call them angels if you may, tell the new ghost, that if they do not go into the light, that they are trapped within the confines of the home, business or a place that they are familiar with. An energy grid is placed over the area, in which this new ghost doesn't have the ability of escaping. It could be a situation in which a grandmother has unfinished business, because her granddaughter is expecting and she dies without seeing the baby. She decides not to go into the light, because she wants to see the baby born. She sees the baby and falls in love with the baby and decides to stick around to watch over the baby, instead of going into the light. When an entity goes into the light, that's usually it, they are never seen again. Theory has it, that if you take an object from a haunted home and place it in your home, then you opened up a portal, or a ghostly wormhole for the entity to travel from point A (the haunted home) to point B (to your home). This is the only time a ghost can follow you home, because you have taken an item that this entity is fond of and the energy of this entity engulfs the object.

The Table for Six crew was a fun crowd and it was a pleasure for Shannon and I, to give them a look at the other side.
