The Old Hag Syndrome, UFO Abduction or Sleep Paralysis?

It's July 14, 2009, Tuesday. The day is extremely hot and I am headed to a residential home in Sacramento with Shannon 'Ms. Macabre' McCabe in her vehicle a blue Pontiac Solstice that we affectionately call Ectoplasmamobile 1. Jason Buchello, occupant of this home is excited to see us. The first thing he has us hear are the EVPs that he has collected from his home. We hear an EVP of a strange knocking in the hallway and we hear an EVP he has recorded that almost sounds mechanical in nature.

He tells us that he once saw a short dark figure that came from the back of his bed towards his fish tank. He has seen many lanky tall shadowy creatures around his bed looking down upon him, while he tried to sleep.

Most of the occurrences happen from 2:30am to 3am. His friend Bryan Clay once felt something touch his thumb, like it was pressing down on his thumb. When he looked at his thumb, it had the impression marks of something pressing hard against his thumb. Another night Bryan felt a strange coldness around his feet area, when the room was warm. The coldness around his feet happened quickly and he has no explanation for it.

Jason has seen the dog bed move after his dog walked away from the bed. The lights have turned on by themselves. Once Bryan crawled into the bed and the bed cover felt like an X-ray blanket, it was heavy and he felt confined to the bed.

Jason at times when laying in bed, feels like he is paralyzed, he can't move, he feels like he is fighting an invisible force and sometimes his bed cover will feel extremely heavy. Jason will never forget when the pillow was actually stuck behind his neck. It was like if someone glued the pillow to his neck.

Jason also gets plenty of nightmares, like running through yellow grass and ends up at an oak tree. The ground will get muddy and he does not understand this dream or its elusive interpretation.

Jason has some of the examples of a classic alien abduction case. He sometimes hears a buzzing sound. He sees tall entities around his bed (but, not your classic Grays). He has missing time episodes. He hears strange mechanical noises. He experiences the Oz Factor and everything is very surreal to him. The occurrences happen from 2:30am to 3am. His computer will start for no reason at all.

What is missing is that he has no scoop marks on his skin. No alien implants that he knows of. He has no flashbacks of being someplace that would be considered 'alien'. He sees no strange lights. He can't see any faces of the entities that stand over his bed. He doesn't feel like he has ever floated anywhere (like some abductees feel like they levitate from their beds to the spaceship). He is missing some elements of a classic alien abduction case.

He feels a heaviness on his chest, struggles to breathe as in some cases like the Old Hag Syndrome, but does not see an old hag sitting on his chest. As we continue the interviews and investigation, Shannon and I pick up on two possible EVPs using the 'McCabe Method' and they will have to be analyzed further. 8pm we get what sounds like a female whisper EVP, then at 8:07pm we get an EVP that sounds like a woman saying 'hey you'.

Jason plays back an EVP he recorded that sounds like a man saying 'Ow!'. Jason is a subject to neuropathy, the loss of feeling in one leg and I wonder if this may have any complications to what he is experiencing?

Shannon left her video camera running all night and we will be analyzing any evidence captured on video. This case is pending.

The Haunted Office: The Tapping Cabinets

2009-10-25T10:12:14Z

Below is an investigation that took place in Sacramento a while back. You may find it interesting, because there are professional offices in the Sacramento area that may be haunted.

I have been working a lot of overtime in my real job. I have a friend, who also works a lot of overtime in his real job. My friend knows I am a ghostwriter and ghosthunter. I will not be disclosing the name of my friend, nor where he works at, because he could find himself in a lot of trouble for having me go into his building after working hours, plus, I could probably get into trouble. Anyway, let's get back to the story. Here I am working at my real job, the time is about 9pm. I get a call from my friend, he asks: "Paul, are you working overtime, or are you at home?" Paul: (deep sigh) "Working overtime." Friend: "Then Paul, get your a-- over here, it's happening now!" Paul: Okay, I just have a couple things to get out and I will zip over there!"

My friend claims that the office building where he works at is haunted. Some of the employees have claimed that trays that are supposed to go in a certain way are moved backwards in the morning. If the employees discuss that the office building is haunted, they could get into trouble by management. My friend a workaholic works late hours at this establishment and says at times, the cabinets in 4 cubicles will make a distinct loud tapping sound. It only happens ever so often, but when it does happen, it will last for up to a couple of hours. So, here I am zipping over to his building, somewhere in downtown Sacramento. My friend sneaks me into his office area and lo and behold, I hear the tapping sounds on one of the cabinets in a cubicle. I enter the cubicle where the tapping sounds are originating from and the tapping sounds switch over to the next cubicle's cabinet. I run over to the next cubicle and it moves again into another cubicle and then another cubicle. The tapping sounds on the cabinets go around 4 cubicles. So when you reach one cubicle cabinet where the tapping sounds are heard, it moves to the next cubicle's cabinet and so on and so on. It was the weirdest thing, I have ever witnessed. You could even see the cabinets shake. It sounded like a person with long fingernails was actually tapping the cabinets. I was in this office for a period of 20 minutes and chased the tapping sound during that whole time, trying to catch up with it. I could peek into the next cubicle and see the cabinets shake from the tapping, but as soon as I arrived in that cubicle, it already shifted into the next cubicle. I asked my friend, what the history of this place was and he said most employees think it's the ghost of a former female employee that died by sitting in her parked running car, that was in her garage. She died of inhaling hydrogen sulfide gas. She committed suicide, because she found out her husband was having an affair with one of her co-workers at this building.

The tapping of the cabinets happens ever so often. I was fortunate, because I was working late this night, when this paranormal incident occurred. I can now say that I have been on over 65 investigations and 4 have been significant, where either I heard something, saw something, or was touched by something. On this night, I was able to witness the paranormal by actually hearing the tapping and seeing the cabinets shake. For the tapping to run from me, shows some kind of intelligence paranormal activity. Thank you my friend, for allowing me to witness this. Either I witnessed the paranormal this night, or witnessed fast moving cockroaches that can move swiftly from one cabinet to another. I have no explanation for this activity. I am baffled and dumbfounded.

Onto other news. Like I said, HPI (Haunted and Paranormal Investigations International) investigates all things paranormal. Shannon 'Ms. Macabre' McCabe and I, have been looking into the legend of the Chupacabra. Since we can't find any Chupacabras in California, we are headed over to Mexico to investigate. We will be most likely in Mexico, by this November.

From our studies, it appears that the Chupacabra phenomenon originated in Puerto Rico, but has now spread out into parts of South America, Central America, Mexico and even parts of Southern Texas. On April 1989, many mutilations were discovered in Ceiba Norte, which is in the east central regions of Puerto Rico. The mutilations are credited to the mythical beast, the Chupacabra. Other strange creatures that can be associated with the Chupacabra was a strange reptilian bird that had two large fangs. One was captured when it was struck by a beam of light. The beam of light actually brought the bird down. The locales say that this Serpent Bird howled like a dog, ate raw meat and it's skin was toad like with no feathers. Only one picture of this creature exists before policeman came to the door and took this strange creature away. Could the Serpent Bird be some type of Chupacabra? The most common type of Chpacabra, are the ones that eye witnesses say has scales and has large eyes like a 'gray' alien. Could this be some military experiment gone awry? Is the military experimenting with DNA? Some historians have theorized that if Atlantis did exist, that their technology was so advanced, that the people of Atlantis may have experimented with DNA alterations that could have created our mythical beasts, such as the Centaur (half man / half horse). Why would a Centaur be created? For war purposes. A warrior that had the agility and movement of a horse and the capability to hold a weapon. What if the military is working on DNA manipulation to create a super soldier and the experiments went wrong? What if their creations escaped into the landscape of Puerto Rico? What if the military is in cahoots with the 'grays' in DNA biological technology? It does appear the military is interested in the stars, because the largest radio telescope - the Arecibo Observatory is in Puerto Rico. Everytime there are sightings of Chupacabra, it's interesting on how fast the military arrives to the scene. It's also interesting to note, that UFOs are seen coming in and out of the ocean near Puerto Rico. When a strange creature with bug eyes was seen in Varginha, Brazil crouching in the darkness, the military was there in a New York minute. The town folks say the military captured the creature and whisked it away.

Puerto Rico, the Bermuda Triangle, South America, Mexico have so many UFO sightings. Lake Titicaca is rumored to have UFO camp bases under it's waters. There is so much activity in these areas, Shannon and I, must head south to investigate for ourselves. The last time Shannon was in Mexico, she saw a horse with a huge wound in it's neck. Shannon confronted a boy who owned the horse. She asked the boy what caused the wound on his horse's neck. The boy told Shannon that the Chupacabra took a bite out of the horse's neck.

Shannon and I, plan to conduct many interviews in Mexico and actually go to some areas where the Chupacabra has been spotted. Shannon and I, once again will dabble into the world of cyptozoology. We are not just ghosthunters, we investigate ALL things paranormal. Stayed tuned!

Let's get away from the paranormal for a bit. On May 7, 2008, Wednesday, we had a big birthday party for our illustrious leader Shannon McCabe. On May 11, will be her birthday. She will be 34 years old. We held the celebration at Il Fornaio Cucina Italiana - 400 Capitol Mall. What is interesting is that this restaurant is next to the 400 Capitol Mall parking lot, which is reputed to be haunted and is the place that Shannon saw her first full body apparition. Oh no, I said I wouldn't talk about the paranormal for a bit. Let's change the topic back to her birthday. There was great food, drinks and birthday cake. I gave Shannon a nice ceramic female fairy with dragon wings & a birthday card. I picked out the fairy, because well...it's paranormal. Attended were: Jennifer Baca, Debbie Talani, Tim Hawkins, Valerie, Cindy, Kim (she was celebrating her birthday too), Kathleen, Lydia (who brought over the birthday cake for Shannon, purchased at Rick's Dessert Diner) & Jennifer Cicero - Designer of Sweet Tart Designs. Our server was the pleasant and delightful Rhonda of Il Fornaio. Afterwards we all went to the 4th Street Grille for drinks. Shannon & Jennifer Cicero showed Jennifer, Debbie and I, where they actually work at, a place called Florist Naturally. Yes, Shannon's real job is a florist and she gave us all a bouquet of flowers. I also learn this night after Shannon had a few drinks in her, that she is 'Lady En Du Tromp McCabe, Tim Hawkins is Tim 'Lourd Hawkins' and Jennifer is Jennifer 'Jezabel' Cicero. Shan, Tim and Jennifer all participate in the Renaissance Faires. They want me to visit the next faire event in Fair Oaks, which will be the last weekend in June. We thank Il Fornaio for the complimentary bottle of champagne! Shannon let's me know that ghosthunters need to unwind, by doing something normal, like celebrating her birthday! She topped off her birthday, by going to a B-52 concert with her mother the very next day! Happy birthday Shannon!

HPI has other interesting cases in the works. In October, we plan to investigate New Orleans for ghostly hauntings, zombies and voodoo! Our team will consist of Shannon McCabe, Paul Dale Roberts, Jennifer Baca and Bryan Coleman. January 2009, I will be investigating ghostly activity in Aruba. Witnesses have made claims of seeing a ghostly blonde woman on the beach. Could this be the ghost of Natalee Holloway? I guess, I will have to find out for myself.

Now a word from Celebrity Psychic Nancy Bradley:

"The Celebrities Psychic NANCY BRADLEY is just back from Washington D.C. where she is on a committee to expose and restrict fraudulent psychics from practicing. Currently there are no restrictions on the psychic community, meaning, anyone can put a shingle up and call themselves 'psychic'. The committee, which consists of real tested psychics, is demanding restrictions placed on practicing psychics to protect the public. They insist that all practicing psychics must be forced to show proof of at least a high school education, not be a felon, be fingerprinted by their state, and maintain, by testing, a yearly accuracy rate of at least 85%. BRADLEY, one of only two recognized psychic in the state of California. Her accuracy is tested at 92 to 95.4%.
While in D.C. BRADLEY'S group did energy Readings, which proved the energy at the capitol is the lowest it has been in the last 8 years. They conducted energy work to try and improve governmental understanding of unemployment, poverty, abuse and greed.

HPI Chronicles: The Phantom Lady in Black

2009-10-18T09:10:44Z

Photo shows HPI MDavis Reconnaissance Task Force (group shot)

Somewhere in the Sacramento area, there is a home near a creek. The creek area is a place that I am very familiar with, because I have investigated this creek area one year ago. People claim to have seen American native Indian ghosts, ghosts of settlers and a demonic entity with red eyes that has the ability to fly. So when the occupant Michael Davis tells me his home is haunted, I have the tendency to believe him.

The date is October 17, 2009, Saturday. Paranormal Investigators that show up for this investigation are: Paul Dale Roberts, HPI General Manager; Tammy Straling – Case Manager/Lead; Connie Brenner – Lead (En-Vision Paranormal); Lynn Combs – Lead (En-Vision Paranormal); Donna Reynolds – Psychic; Jennifer Kavanagh; Kira Nance; John Marsh aka Johnny Worlock – Hearse Driver; Bunny Ensign; Tiffany Gonzales.

Michael’s briefing of the activity about this house is as follows:
Michael never liked this house. He moved in this house in 2005. He remembers hearing his named called and the female voice sounded like it was right next to his ear. One of Michael’s daughters saw an entity with a scary face. Michael feels he is sensitive and may pick up on the paranormal more than an average person would. One of his daughters felt something press down on her hip. His daughter Megan once saw a full body apparition at another home, near his home. The two ghosts that haunt his home are an adult woman and a child. The woman ghost has mousy short brown hair and wears an outfit that is all black, the outfit that she wears seems to be shapeless and her hairdo could possibly be from the 20s. Michael goes on to tell us that sometimes you can hear footsteps along the stairwell.

Michael has done his own EVP work, the EVPs he has recorded are:
3 thumps noise EVP.
Male voice inaudible EVP.
Chair moving noise EVP.
Thud noise EVP.
Unexplained noise EVP.
Faint voice EVP.
Moan EVP.
You’re a good puppy EVP and the sound of petting the dog. Note: He has a beautiful yellow lab named Liberty.
Cough noise EVP.

One of the worse things that happened to Michael is he was held down by the shoulders and the entity bounced him up and down on the bed, while this was happening, he heard a growling noise.

One night he felt like something was trying to rip his back apart and trying to get inside him. Michael was able to deal with this by saying the Lord’s Prayer.

Other activity is the bed feels like it is vibrating, shadows have been seen moving about and the salt shaker was moved around in the kitchen.

Tonight there will be one hour investigations and the leads will take their team into three different areas of this house and after each hour, there will be a briefing to see what type of paranormal activity we have captured visually or audibly. Each team will cover all three areas of the home, by the end of the night.

During our first briefing we discovered that 2 investigators took pictures of what looks like the same orb in movement. The orb moves right to left and left to right, it does not fall down like a regular dust orb. Lynn captures a possible EVP. The EVP is of a man’s voice and it is inaudible. When Lynn says “Can you give us a sign that you are here?” Lynn’s recorder stops for no apparent reason.

As I write this in real time, we are on the second session briefing and I learn that Bunny and Jennifer may have taken the picture of the very same moving orb with two different cameras. Kira took a picture of 3 orbs moving in unison from left to right. A lot more designer orbs were taken and when we enhanced Tiffany’s picture of a designer orb, there appears to be a face inside the orb. Lynn obtained an EVP that sounded like a man’s voice (inaudible). I obtained an EVP that may have been a man’s voice saying “live here”. We heard a few knockings on the 2nd floor. The people that heard the knockings were me, Tammy and the occupant named Michael. When Lynn says “can you give us a sign that you are here?” Lynn’s recorder stopped for no apparent reason. Many shadow photos were taken and 2nd shots were taken, the shadows are gone. The flash from the cameras should eliminate all shadows, but yet the shadows were there. Donna felt an electrical light touch on her arms. Tammy felt a cold spot. Lynn’s EMF reader jumped to 10 and then later spikes to 100. We utilized dowsing rods and the dowsing rods indicated that there is a small child and a woman entity in the home. The woman and child entities are not American Indian, but the male entity claims to be Indian and is the spirit guide for Michael. Connie and Johnny saw strange flashes from their peripheral vision.

Note: Orbs do not indicate paranormal activity, unless we can determine intelligent movement. Some of the orbs displayed anomalies in their movement. Dowsing rods and the use of psychics is a tool that we utilize and we try to back up the possible activity indicated by dowsing rods and psychics with video footage, photography and EVPs.

The third session investigation is a free-for-all and the investigators are able to move about the house freely on their own.

Michael’s daughter Michaela showed up at 11pm and she tells us that she has heard strange laughter. She has heard pages from a book flipping and one time when she walked into her sister’s room, she heard a loud gasp.

During the third session, we only obtained more orb photos.

Story of Abduction at Center Court / Natomas

2009-05-09T07:00:17Z

Date: May 8, 2009, Friday. This is going to be a very busy weekend and now that Friday is here, I am ready to interview a possible alien abductee at a birthday party at Center Court owned by Sacramento Kings' Chris Webber. The birthday is for Nancy Bradley Psychic Celebrity's #1 fan: Bertha Clara who I work with. As I head over to Center Court, I get a call from Tammy Straling - Case Manager and she tells me that a South Sacramento home that is supposed to be haunted has been canceled. The occupant who wanted HPI to investigate was able to talk the talk, but unable to walk the walk. Not a problem, I tell Tammy, because there are many more investigations waiting to happen. As I enter Center Court in Natomas/Sacramento I recognize many people at this birthday party. I see: Samantha Pena, Lolita Perez, Adriana Gonzalez, Gina De La Rosa, Lupe Chavez and Taide Espinoza. Others come later to this birthday celebration. I will be killing two birds with one stone this full moon Friday night as I conduct a radio show during the middle of the birthday celebration. I am a guest of The Jeff Rense Program with co-host Brad Steiger who is a legend in the paranormal community and considered an icon author too many. What an honor to be on the show as I discuss some of my best cases with Jeff Rense and Brad Steiger. If you want to know more about The Jeff Rense Program go to www.renseradio.com

After the radio show it was time for me to talk with Bertha Clara's sister Lupe Chavez. Lupe is a possible alien abductee. She tells me that in 1984 at Menlo Park she was casually driving down the road, listening to her music and preparing to pick up her brother from a football game. Dusk was setting in. Then all of a sudden it happened. She saw a multitude of strange lights in the sky. They were going around in circles. The lights were mostly red in color. From all the lights, she sees a huge disc shaped spaceship. At the time, she was with her other sister (not Bertha) and they both witnessed the UFO. Both of them were in shock and were petrified to witness this strange hovering craft. Lupe's sister wanted to get closer to the object. Lupe wanted to reverse the car and get out of there. Both sisters were mesmerized by the event and as they watched the UFO, they saw small humanoids that looked like your classic Grays. The aliens that they were looking at also had antennae coming out of their top head area. A huge beam of light shown upon both of them and before they knew it the UFO took off after rocking back and forth.

When it took off, it was at a high rate of speed and the movement was quite erratic. It did not move like conventional aircraft. After this incident, Lupe continues to have dreams of being in her bedroom, seeing lights shining through her bedroom windows. The odd light will light up her whole bedroom. She sees the aliens going through her walls and walking towards her. The dreams happen frequently and she believes what she is experiencing are mere dreams. I only wonder if the experience is not dreams, but actual abductions that could be happening to her. After her encounter with the UFO she noticed that she had the ability of seeing auras around people. The auras would change color to show calm, anger and many other emotions. This gift of seeing auras has now left her. She no longer has the aura seeing ability. After I left this birthday celebration, I can only wonder why Lupe has been targeted by aliens. I guess only time will tell.

Now to other things. I had a UFO experience in 1973 and sometimes answers that you are seeking, just pop out at you. I discovered I wasn't the only one that saw UFOs in October 1973. Read below of what I discovered.

1973 UFO Flap.
I read this in the Anomalist. See link:
http://www2.mcdowellnews.com/content/2009/may/06/mike-conleys-tales-weird-great-ufo-scare-october-1/entertainment/
I was quite surprised reading this story and responded to the author, here is my response:
Read your article! Amazing! Because in October 1973, I was in the town of Columbia, South Carolina with 2 other soldiers. I was also a soldier at the time. We looked up in the sky and saw 6 glowing blue discs in V formation. One of the soldiers said ‘geese’. I said: “that is no geese”. We watched the discs and all of a sudden they took off in separate directions at astronomical speeds. When they took off, their flying behavior was erratic. It was an incredible sighting. I am now a paranormal investigator and I investigate ghost sightings, UFO sightings, Bigfoot sightings, etc.

As I head home, I stop by Barnes and Noble to pick up the latest issue of Haunted Times Magazine. I discover two of my articles in this latest issue. I love this magazine and I am honored to have so many of my articles published in their past issues up to the present. As I reach my car, I get a phone call on my paranormal cellular hotline. The conversation goes like this.

Paul: Hello?

Caller: Is this Paul Dale Roberts, Paranormal Investigator?

Paul: Yes.

Caller: My name is Stephanie, I witnessed a UFO in Sedona, Arizona. The UFO hovered above me and hit me with a beam of light. This happened in 1993.

Paul: Go on.

Stephanie: The Men in Black are following me. I see a black Lincoln car following me all the time. One time when I was looking at the car, a sharp pain hit my neck.

Paul: What do you mean?

Call is disconnected. I tried to call back several times and I get strange static, beeping sound as to leave a message. I left 3 messages and no call back. Area code is 602. 602 is Phoenix, Arizona.

Stephanie, if you read this, please contact me as soon as possible, I want to hear your story.

I am now closing this article, but I will let you know I am in a documentary called Mysteries of Angels & Demons. So go out there and see the adaption of Dan Brown's bestseller, the movie called Angels and Demons and then see the documentary called Mysteries of Angels and Demons.

Interview with Pamela Glasner, Author of 'Finding Emmaus'

2009-11-18T20:32:03Z

Interview with Pamela Glasner, Author of “Finding Emmaus”
Interviewed by Paul Dale Roberts, President of www.jazmaonline.com – HPI General Manager – www.hpiparanormal.com

Please note: nothing said in this interview is a spoiler —- everything here is either something that is established in the very beginning of the book or is stated in such a way so as not to give away any part of the suspenseful story.

Question: Pamela, give us a briefing on what “Finding Emmaus” is all about.

Answer: Francis Nettleton, a 17th century Empath living in Puritan New England, a society steeped in myths and intolerance, grows into adulthood believing himself to be insane. Inadvertently, he sets in motion a murder which will reverberate through four families and three centuries.

Wiccans have their Book of Shadows; Christians have their Bible. Even the secular world has its encyclopedias, but for Empaths there was nothing until Francis sacrificed everything to spend his life creating one authoritative body of knowledge, a central set of guiding principles meant to put an end to the relentless persecution and needless suffering of anyone who did not - or could not - fit the societal mold. He named it The Lodestarre.

Three hundred years later, Katherine Spencer, after years of hospitals and drugs, is given a rare opportunity: a second chance at life. At fifty-four, after she is told that, rather than being insane, she’s more likely Empathic, she sets out to find Francis and the legendary Lodestarre, both 300 years gone, in a last-ditch hope that she can finally learn to live. In the process, she unwittingly becomes a champion for the voiceless millions who are being victimized by a corporate machine of such omnipotent political power that she puts her life in jeopardy when she challenges the all-but-unstoppable pharmaceutical industry, America’s most powerful and affluent lobby.

“Finding Emmaus” is a very dark fictional yet factually-based novel in which two otherwise ordinary people find a way to transcend time and death to try and save millions of others whose lives are shattered because they, too, have been erroneously labeled mentally ill.

~~~~~~~~~~~
It was released on October 1st of this year and has been very well received, albeit on a limited basis. Among those who’ve read it, the response has been enthusiastically positive, with an audience equally divided between men and women.

Question: Wow! How did you come up with this idea of having 2 empaths living 300 years apart, both working in unison to save the world?

Answer: Well, originally the story did not involve two Empaths, it only involved one: Katherine, who lives in the 21st century. But as I was writing it, I liked what I had, but it wasn’t really knocking my socks off. And then one day I was standing in front of this beautiful drawing I've had for about 25 years, a drawing of a very old man who really did live in Vermont, who sat in the shade of a covered bridge weaving baskets. The man’s name was Frank.

Of course, he would have been called Francis three hundred years ago, so that’s where I got the name of the story’s second principal character.

And staring at him, the whole story just sort of popped into my head: the name of the new England town where the story takes place became Weaver's Bridge and Francis was the ‘Father Of Empathy’, he literally ‘wrote the book on it.’ And then I thought: But the book disappeared and faded into legend.

On the heels of that thought came: well, if the book faded into legend, it must have been written a very long time ago, and since modern American history is only about 390 years old, the decision of when it happened was made for me.

I knew the story was going to take place in Connecticut and that narrowed it down even further, since the earliest white settlements/chartered towns in Connecticut were in the 1630’s.

And then I asked myself (AND answered myself, something I do pretty regularly, whether there’s anyone around or not!) “why did the book fade into legend?” The answer was, if you were white and lived in Connecticut Colony in 1630-something, you were a Puritan.

Puritan philosophy was based on a very literal (at least, the Puritan’s very literal)interpretation of the Bible. If something wasn’t specifically addressed in the Bible, it had no place in their lives. And Empathy, which has the appearance of mental illness to anyone who does not understand it or is completely ignorant of its existence, certainly would not have been excepted under any circumstances.

So even though Francis ‘wrote the book on it’ —- the book called The Lodestarre, which is the name of the series —- he would never have been able to publish it or in any other manner disseminate the information because it would have been considered blasphemous at best, the work of the Devil at worst and grounds for getting close up and personal with the inquisitor’s noose. So it was plausible that The Lodestarre would have hidden away for centuries, in the hopes that some day someone, in a less fearful, more tolerant society, might come along and unearth it.

Which is what happens in “Finding Emmaus”, three centuries after Francis creates it.

Question: Can you tell us some more about Francis and Katherine, your two main characters?

Answer: Francis and Katherine are both Empaths who suffer abominably because, not only are they the victims of those around them who do not understand the gift of Empathy, but they, themselves, do not understand it. Each suffers the torments of the world in which they live.

In Francis’ time, the 17th century, the medical community honestly believed that lunacy (the mentally ill, which is what Empaths would have been perceived as, were not referred to as ‘patients’ until many years later) was contagious and that the ONLY cure for lunacy was physical torture. Lunatics were therefore segregated from society into places like Bethlam Royal Hospital (sometimes referred to as Bedlam), and subjected to the most hideous treatment imaginable —- and then treatment which is not imaginable. This treatment is all well documented and described in gruesome and graphic detail in numerous historical sources. It is also fairly graphically described in my book.

In the New World, in Connecticut Colony, there would not have been an asylum like Bethlam, not back then, so lunatics would have been locked away in a room in the family home, probably chained there to prevent escape, or would have been put to death for the good of society and the repose and salvation of the lunatic’s tortured soul.

In Katherine’s time the tortures and trampling of basic human rights are just as prevalent, though more sophisticated.

For example, as recently as twenty-eight years ago, twenty-seven states in our country were actively forcing surgical sterilization on patients labeled mentally ill, even though, in most cases, there was (and still is) no standard or definitive way to diagnose or prove the mental illnesses which those people were thought to be victims of. But they most certainly did become victims!

And, of course, there are the myriad psychotropic drugs which, 70% of the time, fail to have their desired effect, but nearly all the time, have horrible, lasting, sometimes permanent, sometimes fatal, side effects.

Katherine lives this hell until her mid-fifties when an especially enlightened psychiatrist friend of hers suggests that she is an Empath rather than a victim of mental illness.

Question: If this book became a movie, who would play Francis and who would play Katherine?

Answer: I’m smiling as I write the answer to this question because as I wrote the book, there were, in fact, three characters whom I put actor’s faces to in order to “see” them move through their days and interact with other characters. I’m a very visual person and that’s how I write: I “see” the scene in my head and then I write it.

However, I never did picture anyone specific for either Francis or Katherine, only for Michael, Carly and Humphrey. And I will leave that for the readers to guess!

That said, I think I could see Sir Ian McKellen as Francis (in the year 2008, as a 98-year-old ghost)and perhaps Marcia Gay Harden as Katherine.

Question: What other books have you written?
Answer: “Finding Emmaus” is my first novel. I’m presently working on book two of the series.

Question: Can you tell us something personal about yourself? Your family life, schools you went to. How you became a writer.

Answer: I was born in the Bronx (in New York City) and raised in Queens. If you ever saw the movie “Funny Girl”, that’s the life I grew up in: everyone’s mother was everyone else’s mother. There were no dividing lines amongst the families. Nancy’s mother or Laurie’s mother could discipline me for misbehaving just as my mother could discipline Diane or Ellen. Didn’t matter; we were all like one big family on a city block with 32 houses on each side of street. A tiny microcosm which, to my young eyes, seemed to encompass the entire world.

It never would have occurred to me that I was not welcome at Nancy’s table for any meal any more than it would have occurred to Nancy that she was not welcome at Diane’s.

My parents decided we needed to leave NY when the neighborhood began to change and became too dangerous to live in. So we moved to Connecticut and, aside from the culture shock, I lost that feeling of knowing down the core of my being that I belonged, that I was unconditionally accepted.

I've lived in some lovely places since and have made some wonderful friends, I belong to a fabulous church and I am regularly surrounded by amazing, talented, remarkable people. But nothing, I think, ever compares to the friendships you make as a young child.

I've been writing as long as I can remember. When my parents would send me away to camp, instead of sending home post cards, I’d write essays! The longest letter I ever sent to a friend from camp was 23 pages. But that was way before the days of copiers (I’m dating myself here!) so I don't have any of them. Too bad, too, because it would have been interesting to be able to look back on them and see what I wrote about, what I counted as important, from a child’s point of view.

I know I always wanted to write a book but I never believed I actually could. I’d sit with paper and pen and think to myself, “What could I possibly write about that anyone would be the least bit interested in?” And then one day, while standing in front of that drawing I mentioned earlier, the entire story of “Finding Emmaus” just came to me —- all of it —- in less than 15 minutes. And then I sat down and, five months and seven hundred and sixty-two pages later, I had a novel.

Question: What are your hobbies and recreational activities?

Answer: I love horses. I can go to a town fair and watch the equestrian events for hours and not get bored. I've had a few horses, but not for a while now because my life does not lend itself to that kind of commitment and responsibility.

I also love reading, but I sort of go on a ‘reading hiatus’ when I’m writing, except for the non-fiction research required for The Lodestarre series. Although I recently got my hands on a lovely biography of Increase Mather, a man with whom I became fascinated while I was writing “Finding Emmaus”. He was very involved in the Salem witch trials and, as such, I was prepared to hate him. Instead, even though I no longer need to delve into his life, after reading some of his sermons and learning the comparatively small amount I've learned so far, I just can’t stay away from him. So I guess he’s become another hobby of mine.

Question: If you had 6 dinner guests, 3 historical and 3 fictional, who would they be and why?
Answer: Well, obviously, one would be Increase Mather. Despite his active role in the witch trials, I don’t believe he agreed with condemning those people to death. He actually apologized, but eventually he recanted. I think he was torn. I’m certain he was concerned for his safety and that of his family. It’s clear from writings that he was devoted to family. I’d love to ask him in person what it was like to be him, Harvard graduate and professor, well-loved and well-respected minister, extraordinary orator and, though not the hangman, definitely complicit in the deaths of those he privately deemed innocent. An enigma if ever there was one.

The other two historical figures would be John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster and his mistress —- and eventual wife —- Katherine Swynford, née (de) Roet. I fell in love with the two of them, and with English history, when I read Anya Seton’s historical novel named “Katherine”, a wonderful tale about their life-long love and the turbulent times in which they lived. Katherine was actually sister-in-law to Geoffrey Chaucer, the author of Canterbury Tales. I would love to know, first-hand, what their lives were like in the 1300’s.

Far as fictional characters go, I think I’d enjoy chatting and sharing a glass of wine with Nick and Nora Charles, fictional sleuths played by William Powell and Myrna Loy in the famed “Thin Man” films. I can’t imagine anyone more entertaining than the two of them, except perhaps Dr. David Huxley, the long-suffering paleontologist from “Bringing Up Baby”.

Question: What TV shows, movies do you like?
Answer: My favorite TV show, hands down, is Law and Order, followed closely by it’s cousin, Special Victims Unit. My favorite films are (in no particular order) Goodfellas; Beetle Juice; Corpse Bride; Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix; The Girl In The Cafe; Baby Boom; How the Grinch Stole Christmas!; Labyrinth; LadyHawke; Coal Miner's Daughter

Question: What are some of your favorite books?
Answer: Well, as I said earlier, Katherine by Anya Seton is my all-time favorite historical novel. I’ve read everything Terry Brooks has written and I adore Stephen King. There is one book I've loved longer than any other in my life, and that is “Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose” by Dr. Seuss.

Question: What is your website address and how can someone contact you?
Answer: The web address for “Finding Emmaus” is http://www.lodestarre.com/index.html and if anyone wants to contact me, probably the easiest way is through Facebook. My ID is the same as my name: Pamela Glasner.

Question: Thank you for the interview, any words of wisdom for your fans?
Answer: If I've learned anything at all through this experience of ‘suddenly’ writing a novel and becoming a published author at the age of 55, it’s that nothing is more important than trusting that voice inside. Some people call it intuition; I call it my gut. That doesn’t mean I never struggle with three-o'clock-in-the-morning courage, but you can’t let the fear win.

You know, in the Olympics, the uneven parallel events, when the athlete comes off the bars? She hits the mat, bends her knees just a bit and then … you can just see it in her eyes when she knows with everything in her that she absolutely ‘stuck’ that landing.

There’s a lot of advice out there and not all of it is good. And I’m not saying, “Ignore everybody else”, or “Stick your head in the sand” or “Get cocky” or “Don’t get an education” or “Don’t try and learn from other people, especially people you respect.” What I am saying is that, above all, there comes a time when you just need to trust what’s going on inside you, the part of you that is truly YOU.

True creativity comes from your heart and your soul and your gut and some inexplicable, insatiable need to express it. And it can be anything. It doesn’t have to be writing. It doesn’t even have to be an art form.

Inventing the light bulb and the process of pasteurization came from the same place in Edison and Pasteur as my writing comes from in me. Otherwise, who would spend so much time and energy doing something over and over, in face of criticism or undisguised contempt or continuous failure, in the face of never knowing if you’ll ever succeed or be appreciated, much less get one red cent for your trouble?

At some point you just have to shut out all the rest and look inside —- and if what you’re feeling resembles that look in the athlete’s eyes when she sticks that landing — that’s when you know that you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing.

Interview with Natalie Liquori, Creator and Headliner DJ of Darkness Nightclub

2009-11-28T02:26:57Z

Interviewed by Paul Dale Roberts, HPI General Manager
Date: November 27, 2009
Time: 1500 Hours
Location of Interview: Border's Books, 2339 Fair Oaks Blvd, Sac CA 95825 / Editing of Interview at Coffee Garden, 2904 Franklin Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95818

Question: Natalie, to get this interview started, can you tell us something personal about yourself?

Answer: I have been a licensed funeral director and embalmer for ten years. I enjoy the art of restoring human remains for the purpose of leaving to the afterlife. I am also a singer and musician currently working with the local Sacramento industrial band Savi0r, who will be performing at the Whiskey A Go Go in December.

Question: Can you explain your titles for Darkness and what is Darkness?

Answer: I am the sole creator, promoter and headlining DJ for the club. Darkness was originally created two years ago to give the Sacramento area an alternative night club event that was based on collaboration from patrons through special monthly events (special theme nights, art shows, and special guest DJs and musical acts).

Question: Does Darkness embrace the vampire culture and do you embrace the culture too?

Answer: In general we are not associated with the vampire culture. However, we accept and embrace them as a faction of the culture. The vampire culture and all macabre aspects of life are embraced by the Gothic culture.

Question: Many times that I have seen you, I noticed you dress in black. Would you consider yourself as part of the Goth culture?

Answer: I would consider myself a part of Goth culture. However, I do not always wear all black. I wear black along with other dark dramatic colors, which I think many people who consider themselves a part of the Goth culture do as well.

Question: How is Darkness taking off? Does Sacramento have a large Goth culture as compared to San Francisco?

Answer: Since Darkness began in 2007, the club event has become a popular staple of the alternative club scene in Northern California. Sacramento itself does not have a very large gothic culture scene, but the surrounding areas add to the scene (Redding, Chico, San Francisco, etc.). San Francisco still has the most thriving scene, but I believe that many of the people who are from the San Francisco scene are moving toward the Sacramento area due to the housing prices. Therefore, the Sacramento scene is growing.

Question: What kind of music does Darkness play?

Answer: Darkness plays: The Cure, New Order, Depeche Mode, Danielle Dax, VNV Nation, Skinny Puppy, Nitzer Ebb, Suicide Commando, Bauhaus, Soiuxie and the Banshees, Client, and The Presets just to name a few. In general, we play Goth, industrial, new wave 80s, and electro.

Question: What is your favorite song?

Answer: My farvorite song that I never tire of is Only When I Lose Myself by Depeche Mode – such a sexy, elegant song!

Question: You are talking about opening a second club, what is that all about?

Answer: Actually, I just received an opportunity to move Darkness to Necropolis in Old Sacramento. Necropolis will have two full dance floors, which will allow Darkness to expand in the way I have always imagined it. We will also be able to support live performances and other entertainment associated with the genres of music being played at Darkness. The grand opening of Darkness at Necropolis will be Saturday, December 5th with an opening performance by Savi0r. The Old Ironsides location will be kept and changed into a different nightclub event that will be more geared toward electroclash and new wave 80s music only.

Question: What are your hobbies and recreational activities?

Answers: In my spare time I write music, oil painting and other art projects, and of course go dancing.

Question: Where overseas have you been? Was it business or pleasure?

Answer: My favorite place I’ve been to is London, England. I traveled there to visit a friend for two weeks and absolutely fell in love with it. I still need to travel to continental Europe and hope to do that in the near future.

Question: I have been to London too, I must agree with you Natalie. If you had 6 dinner guests, 3 historical and 3 fictional, who would they be and why?

Answer: Historical guests: Anubis (Egyptian god of embalming) – he might be considered fictional to some people, Mother Theresa (to discuss how she could be so loving in a world of chaos), and Oscar Wilde (to bring the dinner party a little more wit and sarcasm).
Fictional guest: Dexter Morgan (to understand the mind of a functional psychopath and I would like to talk to a blood splatter expert – sound like a cool job!), Hannibal Lecter (I find him charming), and George Lass from Dead Like Me (I want to know more about the after life).

Sorry, sounds like a dysfunctional dinner party!

Question: What are your favorite TV shows, movies, cartoons, books?
I don’t have a lot of time for TV or reading these days but some of my favorite shows are Dexter, Dead Like Me, Six Feet Under, Intervention, Obsessed, and The First 48 Hours.

Question: This ends the interview, any words of wisdom for your fans?

Answer: Be yourself and you will prevail!

The Little People of Iceland

2008-12-17T21:16:41Z

The Little People of Iceland
By Paul Dale Roberts, HPI Elfologist

I have never been to Iceland, but I have flown over this beautiful country on my way to England. I have always wondered why so many people of this country believe that there are little people living on their island.

In Hafnarfjordur, Iceland, road workers are weary of blasting out any kind of foundation for a roadbed. They are honestly scared they may disturb the little folks.

With boiling geysers, wind-blasted precipices, frozen barrens and razor-sharp lava rock, this is not what hinders construction workers. They are actually more concerned about the dwelling places of the little people.

Why are Icelanders so adamant that their land is inhabited by Iceland elves? Why would they go through the process of re-routing roads to avoid the lairs of these little creatures?

There was one time that they were laying down the foundation for their first shopping mall and the people were very concerned that the electrical cables and underground installations may disrupt the abodes of gnomes and fairies.

Icelanders believe that the land is populated with elves, gnomes, trolls, light-fairies, lovelings and a unique species called "huldufolk," or hidden people. It is rumored that at one time, some of the little people were known to steal children.
The tales of little people go back to the late ninth century AD when the Vikings of Norway and some Gaels from the British islands came to settle this land.

Some Icelanders theorize that these elementals may be inhabiting the same space of Iceland, but on a parallel dimension. They are able to step from their world into our world via a gateway between dimensions. It appears that the little people do not seek out any harm with humans and have been known to invite humans to their cliff dwellings for pancakes.

We can look at this as people with over active imaginations, but I find it odd that the little people of Iceland were once known to steal children. How similar those stories are to stories told by alien abductees who claim that they were impregnated on a UFO vessel and later the fetus is removed. The alien abductee’s doctors are baffled and claim the phenomenon as a false pregnancy.

So are UFOs seen in Iceland? The answer is yes. UFOs are seen all over Iceland and around the Arctic. On March 29, 2003 in Lyngdalsheidi, a man takes a picture of 2 snow mobiles moving away from him. When the photo is developed there is a clear picture of a UFO in the sky near the snow mobiles. There are stories that Icelanders will place food out for the small creatures of the glaciers, especially the Snaefellsjokull glacier. They describe the little people as having gray skin. Here is a direct connection for little people and the infamous ‘grays’.

A naval source recently in Iceland witnessed 3 large UFOs over Iceland, while Icelandic fisherman describe UFOs coming in and out of the surrounding waters.

Many UFO sightings are centered in the Langeness Fjord area of Iceland and of course there are many sightings by pilots of Icelandic Airlines.

What I believe is that there is a UFO base near and around the landscape of Iceland and it probably has been there since the beginning of time. This is why there are so many stories about little people inhabiting this island. Iceland is a hotbed of UFO activity and little people are actually aliens that Icelanders are seeing.

When people see fairy circles, are they actually UFO landing spots? When people say that they encounter a fairy, sometimes the fairy will point a wand and they will be temporarily paralyzed. Would this actually be an immobilizing weapon used by the Grays? There are too many similarities between Grays and the little people of Iceland. I believe the Grays and the little people of Iceland are one and the same. But, that is my opinion.

Ghost Girls Tales: Back to the Ione Hotel

2008-11-24T02:01:37Z

Ghost Girls Tales: Back to the Ione Hotel
By Paul Dale Roberts, Ghost Girls Ghostwriter

It’s going to be a long day. I have to be at Shannon McCabe’s home at 2:30pm and prepare for a full day of doing a Ghost Girl shoot and investigation. At Shannon’s home, waiting for me is Shannon & Natalee Black. Shan carefully drives us to the Ione Hotel where the shooting/investigation will be taking place. The reason why I say ‘carefully’ is because Shan just recently received a speeding ticket and she is not looking for another one. It was nice not to feel the G-Force that forces my face into her side window.

As we arrived to the Ione Hotel, waiting for us were people that wanted readings from Nancy Bradley – Celebrity Psychic. There were some people that were waiting for camera interviews, so they can explain their paranormal experiences at the Ione Hotel.

The Ghost Girls Investigative Team consisted of: Nancy Bradley – Celebrity Psychic/Ghost Girl; Shannon McCabe – Ghosthunter Extraordinaire/Ghost Girl; Jennifer Baca – Ghosthunter/Boom Operator; Bryan Coleman – Videographer; Robert Reppert – Videographer; Bob King – Coordinator/Equipment Specialist; Natalee Black – Coordinator and of course me Paul Dale Roberts/Ghosthunter/Ghostwriter. The owner Mahmood Ghani set up rooms for all of us. Staying in Room 5 is Shannon, Natalee and Jennifer. Room 13 is Robert, Nancy. Room 6 is Bob. Room 1 is Bryan and me.

Of course, being a ghostwriter, I wanted to get my own scoops on this brisk November day (November 22, 2008, Saturday). I conducted my own interviews with patrons of the Twisted Fork Bar. Here are my interviews:

Misty Coulter, Bartender: She witnessed 2 wine glasses flying off the shelves.

Lois Vimini: She actually knew George when he was alive. George is now a famous ghost that haunts the Ione Hotel. Lois first met George at Vim’s Club. George died in his room of unknown causes. Lois will never forget playing pool with George for a dollar and she won that dollar and George signed it, as if he knew he would one day be a local ghost legend.

Christina Garcia-Barrett, Shift Manager: Christina has experienced two little children ghosts that love pulling pranks, by jumping on beds in Room 11, they will also play with the TV. In Room 8 & 13, ghostly children play with the heat. Room 1, sometimes the door will lock on its own. Room 11, toilets will flush on their own, also the plunger will go up and down on its own accord. Room 2, there was a guest that was locked in their room for a long time.

Alexandrea Barrett: Has experienced heater problems in various rooms. In Room 13, she placed new soap into the room, then she left the room no more than 5 minutes and came back to find all the soap gone.

Dianne Reif, Pi Palomo and Linda Zanze: I met these 3 lovely ladies at the bar and they actually asked me all kinds of questions about the paranormal activity at this hotel. They actually plan to stay in various rooms of the hotel, so they can experience the paranormal for themselves.

Rhiannon Mehlhaff, Bartender: She has witnessed glasses and pictures flying off the shelves of the bar on their own accord.

Now one of the most unusual things that happened to me this night is the lady I interviewed Christina Garcia-Barrett approached me and took me outside, before I interviewed her. She told me things that jogged my memory from 14 years ago. Come to find out, this red-head once was a blonde and 14 years ago, we were dating. What a surprise this was and what a small world we live in! Would this be coincidental or paranormal?

After re-meeting Christina, Shan had us all prepare to conduct a séance at the former well, where there is now a large table over the well. At this well, a young 3 year old boy fell in and drowned. During the séance, Shannon says: “Do you like spaghetti?” There is an EVP voice recorded that says ‘yes’.

After the séance, we conducted a full blown investigation. Shannon felt someone touch her hair. Later Nancy felt someone touch her hair. Natalee felt something brush up against the back of her neck. While Jennifer and I were conducting EVP work in Room 5, I asked if there was anyone here. We captured an EVP male voice say ‘yes’. In Room 13 Shannon says: “Can you please, please say something?” EVP male voice says something that is inaudible and later says clearly “I care”. Shannon tries again and we record same male voice, EVP says: “I want you.”

We used the McCabe Method of recording EVPs. Say something, wait for an answer and play immediately back. We don’t just leave our recorders on all night. If an entity is going to speak, it’s going to speak immediately. If you ask what the entity’s name is, it’s not going to wait one hour to reply. Simple logic.

We ended this night by walking across the street to Tilly’s Bar and Shannon took over the whole karaoke bar by singing Dreams by Fleetwood Mac. Everyone got up and went wild to Shannon’s high vocals, she is truly a professional singer. Sunday it was time to pack it up and it was great to know that this was a successful investigation with a slew of EVPs gathered by the investigative team. Our last stop before heading home was at the Preston Castle, so Bryan Coleman could do some B Roll filming.

Before I close this article, I want you to look out your window, because the Ghost Girls may one day be on your street!

Interview with Bobby Marchesso, TV Personality/Psychic

2009-03-30T19:00:39Z

Question: Tell us something personal about yourself...family life, schools
you went to...maybe something about your first girlfriend.

*Well, I did a lot of growing up in New York and then in Colorado…My first
girlfriend’s name was Shalm Madison and that was in the first grade. I
remember because we were waiting in line to go outside and I was holding her
hand. Then I had looked down at my shoes. I remember being embarrassed
because they were torn up and untied as my parents couldn’t really afford
newer shoes. Other than that, my first real girlfriend was in the 11th grade
and her name was Cynthia Moxey.

Question: When did you learn that you had psychic abilities?

*I think it’s something that you always suspect. It’s not until
later though after a lot of growing up, that I began to connect the dots and
remember the odd feelings that I had as a child. Nothing dramatic like
seeing ghosts or anything but definitely quite a bit of empathy. After
seeing John Edward on television, I knew that I had to follow this path. All
of the pieces just fell into place.

Question: You were once a policeman...can you tell us about those days?
Did you enjoy being a cop?

*They were a lot of fun. Boy, I thought I was something back
then. All serious and tough. My father was a cop and I’m not sure if I was
following his goals or mine. But there was no doubt that I was meant to do
that as the training that I received still has an impact on me today. I was
around a lot of death and before I acknowledged my abilities. I now know
that it wasn’t a coincidence.

Question: Did you use your psychic abilities during the days of police work
and if you did, on what type of cases?

*I believe that every cop uses that intuition or ‘gut’ feeling.
Every time that you approach a vehicle or enter into a domestic situation,
there is something that kicks in and tells you whether or not you’re safe. I
didn’t actively use it however on any particular case. At that time, I
didn’t realize that I had anything ‘extra’ helping me.

Question: Both you and I, have both been interviewed by Canada's X-Zone, out
of curiosity have you been on CoasttoCoastAM of maybe a show like Jay Leno?

*I haven’t been, no. I haven’t heard from Jay in a long time. In
fact, I’ve never heard from Jay…he doesn’t even know who I am…:-)

Question: When did you get recognized by the media as being a top psychic?

*I think that started when I moved out to California. Radio
shows have introduced me as that for a few years, but when I had my first
television gig with USA Network, they called on me as an ‘Expert Psychic’.
That was so fun to see!

Question: Have you worked on murder cases?

*I have. Nothing outstanding or that I can say, “They found the
body there” but I have helped to identify John and Jane Does who’s bodies
were found that police didn’t have a clue as to where they came from or who
they were.

Question: How did you get picked up for Two Four Productions - Conversations
with a Serial Killer?

*That also was when I moved to California. I was referred to the
show by a friend of a friend who I didn’t even get a long with and who I’m
not even friends with his friend anymore! He also is a psychic and they
asked him if he would be interested and he said that it wasn’t his thing but
he told them that I might be interested. That was 4 months after I moved to
California. Pretty lucky. They were interested in the fact that I used to be
a cop…that was such a long time ago and again, definitely played a role in
what I was to do later even though I had no idea at the time.

Question: Have you been on any other TV shows?

*Well, there was Shannon’s show just recently, USA Network, and
then my television show on NBC in South Dakota. I’ve really just began my
television career since the move.

Question: Do you have a website and if you do, what is the address?

*Thank you…it’s www.bobbymarchesso.com
<http://www.bobbymarchesso.com/> people can also find me on Facebook where
they can join a group called ‘Create Your Life’. We started this group so
that I could post articles and other helpful information that I teach in my
workshops and coaching aspect of what I do.

Question: How can people contact you?

*They can call the number on the website or email as well from
there.

Question: It was nice working with you on the Richard Trenton Chase episode
of Conversations with a Serial Killer. Which episode disturbs you the most
and why?

*Jeffrey Dahmer was a difficult one to work with. I did not
enjoy getting into that man’s mind. But the one that was not so much
disturbing to me but definitely had to watch out for was Richard Trenton
Chase, the case that you and Shannon were involved with. He was just evil in
the way that he was attempting to mess with everyone present including my
co-presenter Julie MacDonald. I had to cut the séance short because he was
just there to try to get to everyone rather than answer any questions about
what he had done.

Question: It was also nice seeing you again for the Mysterious Realms
Production with Shannon 'Ms. Macabre' McCabe. Do you plan to do another
Mysterious Realms episode in the future?

*Well, I do…but you might have to check with Shannon on that! We
did talk about several other projects that we would like to work on and I
believe that I will be making a trip to Sacramento here in the near future.

Question: Did you want to say hi to Shannon or just move onto the next
question?

*It’s not necessary. Shannon and I have a connection now that
all I have to do is think “Hi” and she gets it…:-)

Question: Okay, moving on...well, this is the last question...it was nice
interviewing you...do you have any wisdom to share with your fans?

*Sure. Be yourself. If you have a concept as to what you think
this type of work is, drop it. Use your own direct experience and not what
others tell you it is. Too many systems or practices tell you how you should
be feeling and what you should be seeing and if you go by what they say and
you don’t have that particular experience, then you think that you’re doing
something wrong or that you can’t do this work. Use your own direct
experience when it comes to anything in your life, not just the psychic
aspect.

Off the Hook TV: A Night at the Sandbar

2009-02-08T21:55:52Z

Off the Hook TV: A Night at the Sandbar

This is going to be one of the craziest nights I will ever witness, probably crazier than any night I experienced while in Brazil or Aruba for that matter. Tonight I am heading over to the Sandbar with my news photographers Chantal Apodaca and Mark Greer. The owner of the Sandbar is setting us up in the VIP Section.

To see pictures of this event, click at this link:
http://s459.photobucket.com/albums/qq319/HPI_International/Sandbar/

In the VIP Section are: Paul Dale Roberts aka The Ghostwriter; Dink; Dirty Twig from the Dirty Twig Show – See Website: http://www.thedirtytwigshow.com/index.html; Shannon McCabe – President of HPI (Haunted and Paranormal Investigations International) www.hpiparanormal.net; Chris Grissom of HPI; Merilee; Mark Greer; Jason Willoughby; Off-the-Hook TV Crew made up of Leatherface, The Executioner, Tony Gold and Flex; Sam Broadnax – CEO Nite Kreepa’s Productions Sr.; Yolanda Pyles-Broadnax – Co-CEO of Nite Kreepa’s Production and Recording Studio; Jarina Broadway; Melody Gibson (The Executioner’s mother); Madison Florio – Entertainer/Dancer; Tammy Grant – Entertainer/Dancer; Taleya Jones – Entertainer/Dancer; Brittina Melvin – Entertainer/Dancer; Elizabeth Poehls – Entertainer Dancer.

Pulling up in a stretch limo are Off-the-Hook TV. Check out their website here: http://www.offthehooktv.com/ With Off-the-Hook TV are the Entertainer/Dancers I was telling you about. Leatherface and The Executioner had their infamous masks on. Masks that remind you of movies like Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Friday the 13th, but a whole lot scarier. One girl next to me looked at Leatherface and when she looked at me, her face looked like an innocent doe caught in the crossfires of two big game hunters and sheepishly says…”now that’s scary”.

As the DJ plays T-Pain’s Bartender, everyone is going crazy on the dance floor, gyrating with body dance moves that have a strong R rating can be seen across the dance floor. I kept thinking…”am I at Springbreak in Cancun or something?”. Leatherface threw me into the female entertainer/dancers that yanked at my pony tail and gave me a night I won’t forget for a long time, as cameras flashed and video cameras were rolling! That was a harrowing ordeal, I am still having traumatic flashbacks of being engulfed by gorgeous women. I remember after the ordeal, I had to go back to the VIP section to recuperate. I just hope that I don’t have Post-Traumatic Syndrome after this experience. But, let me stop talking about this, the memories are too painful. Let’s talk about some of the people I interviewed.

It was time for me to do the interview process and one lady I interviewed was sitting in the VIP section and I asked her, how she is associated with Off-the-Hook TV or the Sandbar. Come to find out she had family connections in the Sandbar and I asked her if she always sits in the VIP section and she exclaimed…”that’s how I roll!” Here are comments from some of the patrons I interviewed, let’s roll:

Nick Edens: I am a regular her, Sandbar is awesome, can’t think of anywhere else I would want to be. Tonight is going to be good!

Kristi Emenck: I never seen Off-the-Hook before, but looking forward to their antics. I have been to Sandbar a few times and love it!

Amy Eaton: Sure, I used to watch Viva La Bam, I know who Off-the-Hook TV is. Also, now that you gave me your business card, I heard of your name. Don't you write things about UFOs and ghosts? I read ghost stories all the time! Is my name going to be in Fortean Times? I love that magazine!

Jennifer Gouge: I am a regular, my boyfriend does promotions for Sandbar. I love watching people act stupid and have fun. If I am not partying here, I love barbecuing with friends!

Matt Waters and Rob Hilarid: We love the Sandbar. First time we heard about the Dirty Twig Show and Off-the-Hook TV, but we are anticipating a good time.

Shannon 'Ms. Macabre' McCabe: Don't bother me, I am working this gig, don't you see me holding a video recorder? Geesh!

My assistant Chantal Apodoca is a great people hunter. She surveys the dance floor and pulls people out of the crowd to be interviewed. I thank my assistant for doing such a fine job!

I can see why everyone loves the Sandbar, the place is huge and has an outdoor patio. It has a big dance floor and a pretty nice crowd of party revelers. You probably want to know how I met up with a crazy crew like Off-the-Hook TV and the cast of The Dirty Twig Show. One day, I got a call on my cell and some guy calling himself ‘Face’ wanted to video my paranormal investigations. I looked up Off-the-Hook TV on the Internet and discovered they were involved with Viva La Bam, MTV, Jackass and were connected to LA Ink and ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling). Sure, these guys have the credentials, they can roll with the ghosthunter/demon warrior. Face aka Leatherface is now a full fledged paranormal investigator and rolls with me on many of my investigations. Leatherface introduced me to the insanity of The Dirty Twig Show and I have been on the show a couple of times.

When the Gap Band bellows out the lyrics from their song Humpin’…”where are all the humpin’ people at? Humpin!” They need not look any further. They are at the Sandbar.

Interview with Jacqueline Mathers - Medium

2009-09-11T21:37:33Z

Jacqueline does readings from her office in Sacramento. This is her interview that details the paranormal activity in her life. Paul Dale Roberts, HPI General Manager, Ghostwriter, Paranormal Investigator / www.hpiparanormal.net

Question: Tell me something personal about yourself, your family life, schools you went to?

Answer: I was born in Pennsylvania, but most of my life I have lived in Sacramento with the exception of brief periods in Arizona and the North Bay Area of California. I am a mother, grandmother and I work in the field of education. I attended private and public schools in the Sacramento area.

Question: Why do you call yourself a medium?

Answer: I am clairsentient and clairaudient. I have the ability to feel. I get confirmation through temperature changes or goose bumps. I sometimes can pick up the physical pain someone is feeling. As for clairaudience, it is the ability to hear psychic impressions or ‘confirmations’. The voice I hear is a young male, so I am thinking it is Saint Michael, my favorite angel.

Question: Tell us about some of your paranormal experiences.

Answer: I encountered something on 63rd Street at a home I bought back in the 90’s. At the time, there was a television show on NBC called “The Other Side”. It was on every mid-morning Monday through Friday. My daughter had a “Tinkerbelle” wand that was battery operated but broken and unusable in her bedroom. This was the method of contact with this side.

This one day, I sit down to watch this show and the thing starts playing the musical tune programmed in it. Odd, I think, because I knew it had no power source, so I get up to go see what’s going on and it stops playing. OK, I think, I am hearing things. So, I go back into the living room with the kids. I start watching the show and it starts playing again. I go back into the room and I get this chilly feeling and the hairs on my arm start crawling. I say out loud, “Is this Grandma?”, for some reason thinking it was she who was trying to get in touch with me. No answer. I go back in the living room and just as my seat hits the couch cushion, it bleeps once. I go back into the room and I say, “OK, I don’t know who you are but this is my house now.” My daughter had followed me and asks me from the doorway who I was talking to. I just told her I was talking to myself out loud. I later found out a few things about the house and the prior owners. There had been a divorce and subsequently a suicide that had taken place somewhere else. Maybe it was their spirits’ way of ‘checking me out’ to see who the new residents were.

That was probably the one really big thing I have to share but in reality, I should think of all of them as ‘big things’. I have had lots of minor experiences and so has my daughters. We take it as being normal in our family. I know that one of my daughters will follow in my footsteps but she hasn’t begun to fully realize it yet.

Question: How did you learn that you were a medium?

Answer: I have always ‘known’ things about people. It is the impressions I get from being in their presence. I was that precocious child that blurted out things at the most inappropriate times – how I now know what that can do to a parent as I had kids of my own!

The Dell Horoscope magazine was a steady read in my young years, kind of like other kids read the comic books. There were things we ‘just did’ around the house that I can now see from my training in Southern folklore that were of a hoodoo or rootwork nature. These are things more than just throwing salt over your shoulder. I was told my great grandmother was a Native American Herbal or Medicine Woman and belief in spirits were the norm for me. My mother became quite upset when I began my studies in Santeria. As much as I can figure, since my family hails from Southwestern Louisiana, it must have triggered some folkloric or voudou memories or there was a really unpleasant experience with that.

Question: How do you help people?

Answer: When I do a tarot card reading with Obi divination, I give the client various levels of methodologies that they can apply or consider to rectify their personal issues they are experiencing. Depending on their problem and where their comfort level is in familiarity (due to their culture) I can either talk to you like a mother or big sister, whip you up a good luck mojo bag, or make an offering at the river to the Goddess Ochun for your love life. Obi divination is a binary system in order to get a “Yes” or “No” answer to questions being posed. In ritual, we use four pieces of fresh coconut, but you can also use cowrie shells, which I use with the tarot reading. It is really quite accurate when you pose the questions right.

Question: You were telling me about the religion of Santeria, can you elaborate about your connection to this religion?

Answer: I was drawn to it after the birth of my last child. I kept wondering why the candle section of the neighborhood Luckys (a supermarket chain at the time) was cleaned out every weekend. It led me to Mr. Keys and his candle shop and from there, into the world of Santeria. Santeria is the synchronization of Catholicism and the indigenous African nature based belief system of Ifa and Lucumi. I am an aborisha; a practitioner that is not fully initiated. I have to do my final and largest initiation. I have been affiliated with the religion for over 13 years.

Question: How can someone contact you? Do you have a website?

Answer: I have several. For tarot readings, one can go to http://www.tarotbyjacqueline.com. I also write candle spells and other topics related to candles on a free informational site, http://www.free-candle-spells.com. I also offer spiritual supplies such as oils and more at another site at http://www.lucky13clover.com .

Question: How can someone make an appointment with you for a reading?

Answer: They can e-mail me or call my number on the website. I do readings in my home for local clients, telephone readings for those living in the United States and I do written readings for international clients.

Question: You have been experiencing ectoplasm phenomenon, can you explain?

Answer: The question about ectoplasm came about because I have done a reading for a woman twice now in the past four months and both times not only have I became extremely exhausted, but I get a feeling that I have to ‘work my own spirit’ and so I go out into the back yard and I sip a little white rum and smoke a cigar (both crucial to work in Santeria) and I can cough up a stream of clear-and-yet-foamy slime that I was jokingly calling ‘ectoplasm’. After watching a movie called “The Haunting in Connecticut”, it got me thinking about what it was and that is why I contacted H.P.I.

Question: Are you going to any psychic fairs and if you are, which ones?

Answer: Out of respect of the other producers, I do not read at their local fairs anymore because I am also a producer of a metaphysical fair called the Holistic Healing Expo in Elk Grove, CA (http://www.holistichealingexpo.com). To read at their fair wouldn’t be ethical in my opinion, since everyone there that is also a vendor at my expo will want to come ‘talk shop’ with me. I do readings in the privacy of my home and also for clients who have a small get together in their homes. I also do telephone readings and reading reports for international clients.

Question: What are your hobbies and recreational activities?

Answer: I LOVE to read when I get the chance to plant myself on the couch. I have varied interests in many subjects. I am still taking classes at our local community college, where I am also working with the cultural anthropology department with students who want to do field work in cultural studies in indigenous religions. I grow and harvest some of my herbs I use in the condition spiritual oils and baths I make for clients. I love to cook and I perform with a group here in Sacramento, Ebo Okokan, which is the only Afro-Cuban drum and dance group in the area. We do the traditional songs of the Orichas (pronounced or-ree-CHAS) who are the gods and goddesses of Santeria as well as congo and rhumba songs in Spanish.

Question: This ends the interview. Thank you. Any last words of wisdom?

I was always told that the spirits or those that have passed on are on the other side of a two-way mirror – we can’t see them but they can see us. Ancestor reverence is crucial in African based religions because it is the fact that great-grandpapa met great-grandmama is why you are here today. Once passed over, their job is to guide their progeny. In many films, you will see ancestor reverence like the example in the movie “Soul Food”, where once Grandma passes on, Vanessa Williams makes sure there is a setting at the head of the table to invite her Spirit to join them in the feast. We make food offerings as well in Santeria. There is a saying that you pay homage to the egungun (the dead) before the Orichas. We have an altar set up for that very purpose. If you are lucky to connect with a spirit of an ancestor, ask them what you can do for them. Maybe they just want a glass of water, a cigarette, a chocolate or a shot of whiskey – something just to remember what it was like on this side. This is not too far from the Latino culture of the Day of the Dead where the family picnics at the cemetery and food, liquor and more are laid out for the deceased loved ones. Funny, but how true is it that there are a lot of similarities in cultures?

HPI Chronicles: Some Scary Moments in Stockton

2008-12-15T00:19:28Z

Some Scary Moments in Stockton
By Paul Dale Roberts, HPI General Manager/Ghostwriter

It’s not Friday the 13th, but it is December 13, 2008, Saturday and it’s a big full moon.
Renee Martine and Face of Off-the-Hook TV meet me at my house and we head over in Renee’s car to 1002 N. Pershing Street, Stockton, California. We have a scouting mission at this legendary home. The reason why it is legendary is because it has a reputation as being the most haunted home in Stockton. Note: There is going to be a further investigation after this scouting mission with Ghost Girls Legendary Celebrity Psychic Nancy Bradley and Shannon McCabe – Ghosthunter Extraordinaire. Of course the investigative team of Robert Reppert, Bob King, Paul Dale Roberts and Jennifer Baca will be there.

Special Note: Jennifer Baca in her new 2008 Chevy Silverado monster truck affectionately nicknamed The Lethal Injection took Shannon & me to The Dirty Twig Show in Placerville this December 11, 2008, Thursday. During this segment that is broadcast internationally over the Internet we discussed Ghost Girls and the upcoming investigation in Stockton. Sorry about that, sometimes I get side-tracked on other subjects, let me get back in focus. Please allow me to tell you why the home in Stockton is reputed to be the most haunted home in Stockton:

Legend has it that a man that was jilted by his fiancée hung himself in one of the bedroom closets. Another legend is a small child tied up in the basement was left to starve to death. Other legends are that people walking past the house at dusk will see a small child looking out through the attic window and occupants will only live at this home for a duration of 6 months and move out due to the paranormal activities of this home.

Tonight we will be seeking the answers if this home is haunted and why there are so many stories told of this mysterious home that looks like something of a medieval castle and a German hillside cottage.

As Renee drives Face and I down I-5, I had Renee make a quick stop at a local gas station. Lord and behold, there is Fox 40 TV news crew at this location. I introduce myself to Rowena Lugtu-Shaddox and tell her about the investigation. She is excited and tells me that she will send over a news crew later to watch our investigation.

Getting back on I-5 and finally arrive at our destination, I find my HPI scouts waiting for me, they are: Eileen A. Verhulst, Donna Jackson, David Hirschman, Adriane D. Mendez-Herrera, Amber Cordero, Soni Carbonel, Cynthia M. Marsh, Aleisha Bayona, Corey Cummings, Elissa Jones, Dianne Davis, Lucio Bello Jr., Hugo Aleto, Iesha Bayona, Kelly O’Reilly, Taj Plazola, Face (Off-the-Hook TV/Videographer), Katy O’Reilly, Sonja Caron, Bryan Coleman/HPI Investigator/Videographer, Jackie Deweerd, Roberta Alejo, Amber Cordaro, Cory Cummings, Cristal Gonga, Cathy Elmer, Nichole Elmer, Cory Elmer, Rob Lawson/Co-Owner, Bobbie Lawson/Co-Owner, Chantal Reyes, Samantha Taylor, Luis Serrano, Donna Jackson, Renee Martine, Hugo Alejo, Paul Garza, Kellie Elsey, James Lawson, Rita Reyes, Laura Miller. ‘Cell Phone Virtually There’ was Tammy Straling (I gave her updates of this investigation, since she could not make it here this night). Later John & Howard of Fox 40 News would show up. If any names I missed, you will see their smiling mugs at this location, see the group shot at:

http://s459.photobucket.com/albums/qq319/HPI_International/1002NPershingStockton/

During this investigation I gave everyone a briefing about the legends of this house. I explained that there would be 3 teams. The 3 team captains I selected were David Hirschman, Laura Miller and Renee Martine. Each team would investigate certain areas of this home. A duration of 45 minutes would be spent at each location. After 45 minutes are up, we would all come together to the front living room of the house and have a briefing on the findings. We would share photographic evidence, EVPs and have our chance to talk about our findings. After the briefing and analyzing the evidence, the teams would go into new areas of the house to continue their investigation. There would be 3 shifts total with 3 briefings to share evidence.

I also conducted an experiment having non-sensitives conduct a free-for-all investigation of roaming the house to gather evidence, while the sensitives would conduct their own investigation in certain areas of the house, not having any communication between the sensitives to see if their experiences coincided with other sensitives. I would later bring in Bobbie Lawson/owner to ask questions that only she knew the answer and if there are any entities in the house, the entities should know the answer. There were some conflicts with the answers and my final conclusion with this experiment was ‘inconclusive’. The sensitives used the pendulum method of obtaining answers.

Fox 40 TV Crew showed up and I briefed them about the home and had Bobbie Lawson brief them about the home. I took the Fox 40 Crew into the backroom and showed them the McCabe EVP Method of obtaining EVPs. A method utilized by Shannon McCabe (President of HPI). A quick and dirty way of obtaining EVPs, by simply asking a simple question. “Is there anyone here?” Pause, allowing the entity to respond and playing back immediately. After 4 tries, the 4th try was successful. I asked “Is there anyone here?” I received an EVP that was distinct and clear, it was a man’s voice. Want to know what he said? Then watch the Fox 40 episode of this investigation and find out. Yep! I am a booger! What was so nice about this EVP is that it was caught while cameras were rolling! Using the McCabe EVP Method, you don’t have to let your recorder run all night to get an answer. If you ask someone their name, why would they wait 4 hours to say their name? Ghosts, once being people should be able to answer you immediately. Use the McCabe EVP Method, you will like the results.

Next we conducted a séance in this very same room. As the lead investigator, I commenced the start-up of this séance with a hedge-of-protection prayer. I asked the entity to gather the energy from us and show us a sign. I asked the entity to move the chain hanging from the bedroom lamp. While Fox 40 cameras were rolling, the chain moved! John and Howard of Fox 40 were skeptical, but left this home as witnesses to the paranormal, or something they can’t explain with logical reason.

FINDINGS:
1. Face had a recorder in his hand and it literally jumped out of his hand, went into an arch and landed smack dab in front of a group sitting in a circle. Face was shakened from this experience. A multitude of witnesses saw the recorder leap from his hand and go up into a high arch before landing on the floor.
2. EVP obtained of a whistling noise.
3. EVPs in which a man is saying ‘no’, that he does not want to go into the light, or that he does not like being at this home.
4. Door knob falls out of door by itself. Some witnesses involved.
5. Group of scouts using pendulum for communication hear a man sigh next to two female scouts.
6. EVP in which the answer is ‘slowly’. Again a man’s voice.
7. Basketball and teddy bear move across the room, witnessed by about 5 scouts.
8. EVP of man saying ‘Ray’, when asked what his name is.
9. EVP that sounds like Simon and the Chipmunks.
10. Woman screaming is heard. People inside thought scream came from outside. People outside thought the scream came from inside.
11. Kitchen cabinets in photograph are shown closed, later all kitchen cabinets are found open. No one makes claim of opening cabinets.
12. K2 meter lights up several times, no apparent cause.
13. During séance, chain from lamp moves on it’s own accord. Fox 40 videographer captures movement.
14. 4 people in séance feel hotness on their faces.
15. Scouts feel cold spots throughout house.
16. Some scouts feel nauseated.
17. One scout feels pain at the back base of her spinal column.
18. Photographs of orbs and strange light anomalies are taken. Inconclusive photographic evidence.

Equipment Used: Multitude of video cameras, digital cameras, digital audio recorders, tape recorders, night vision video and still cameras, flashlights, pendulums, Nancy Bradley – ectoplasm dipped dowsing rods, EMF Readers, temperature gauges, K2 meters.

With all the EVPs that we gathered this night and with no explanation on how the chain moved on its own accord from the lamp during a séance, I must say that there is some unusual activity in this house. There was no breeze that caused that chain to move. There were no unusual vibrations in the house that could have caused the chain to move. We will continue to analyze the evidence and I will update you with the results. This investigation ended at 0300 hours Sunday. My scouts were exhausted after this scouting mission and on my final meeting with everyone, I went over all the evidence we collected and then did a protection prayer to finalize this eventful night. I thank Bobbie Lawson and some of the scouts who brought snacks and drink refreshments for everyone!

The Christina Garcia-Barrett Story: The Astral Jumper

2008-11-29T02:30:44Z

The Christina Garcia-Barrett Story: The Astral Jumper.

First off, let me tell you about Christina. Christina is a mother of two girls ages 18 and 15. Christina is the youngest child of 4 siblings. She always felt having insight with one of her sisters. Christina always felt connected to her father mentally and spiritually, it was almost like they had telepathy. Christina was born in San Jose and had a series of jobs like working as a medical insurance biller, retail service and owning a business called a Broad and a Broom (cleaning services). She is now a Shift Manager at the Ione Hotel. Her nickname is the red peach as she stands out in a crowd with her flaming red hair.

Christina had many paranormal experiences, they started at the age 14. At this young age, she started seeing silhouettes sitting on her bed and they would talk telepathically with Christina. It appeared that they wanted to protect Christina and her family. When she moved into the San Andreas house a mere 3 years ago, she would see herself as a woman from the 1800s, wearing a flowing dress. She first noticed this while gardening, she knew that she was in another body from another era. Another time, she had a past life regression, in which she was an Indian man running with a herd of deer and being chased by 5 wolves. She feels she is an old soul and has felt these past lives take over her newer vessel.

When she sleeps at night, she astral projects and finds herself flying with owls. In one experience of astral projection, she was able to find the home that she would soon move into, by flying to the city. The city was San Andreas. Another experience she had was flying to Mono Lake. She has never been to Mono Lake, but when she was shown pictures of Mono Lake, she knew she was there, because she astral projected herself to Mono Lake.

She would have odd experiences with numbers. Numbers that would be the same, but be in triple form, such as 777, 222, 333. She knew when this would occur, she knew something was drastically wrong and she would make changes in her life that would rectify the problem. When she was successful in rectifying the problem, the triple digit numbers would stop popping up.

On another incident, Christina came close to death. She actually had a near death experience. When she was giving birth to her first daughter, she was in labor for 2 days and they gave her pain medicine. The doctors did not know she was allergic to morphine, she actually was declared dead and this is when she first astral projected, she floated to the ceiling. At some point of time, an entity started rubbing her back and telling Christina that she needed to go back, she was needed for her children.

When she went back to her body, she had temporary memory loss and had to learn a lot about her life all over again.

Christina embraces her life as an Astral Jumper. She has the gift of going anywhere in the world without a passport. She has the ability to fly. When she is in her astral body, no one can touch her, no one can harm her. She has the power of watching people that are unaware of her presence. She embraces this new power that was given to her during her near-death experience.

Christina has a gift, a power. It was my pleasure meeting Red Peach, the Astral Jumper.

Now onto other news:
Shannon McCabe, Paul Dale Roberts & Jennifer Baca of H.P.I. & Ghost Girls & Holly DeLaughter & Chris Grissom of H.P.I. assisted Two Four Productions with their TV segment of "Conversations With a Serial Killer" The Richard Trenton Chase aka the Vampire of Sacramento Episode.

Movies at UA Laguna Village and a Look at Quetzalcoatl

2009-02-13T02:32:05Z

I enjoy going to UA Laguna Village for three reasons. The movies, close location to my home and I am able to visit with Nick, the father to my god-daughter Nicole Mila Phangaroune who works there as a security guard. Now that I have furlough Fridays, thanks to Arnold, I am able to see more movies. Recently at the UA Laguna Village, I have seen:

He's Just Not That Into You. This movie is comical. Women see how men see things, when it comes to dating. The movie is more for a female audience, but it can be fun if the guys take their date to this movie. My rating: Three Ghosties.

Taken: Action packed. Girl is abducted by Albanians and will be used as a sex slave. Her father with extraordinary past government skills seeks out his daughter and causes mayhem for the bad guys! My rating: Four Ghosties.

The Uninvited: Definitely scary. A surprise ending that I didn't expect. My rating: Four Ghosties.

My Bloody Valentine 3-D: This movie is not scary at all. The 3-D effects are horrendous. Not once did I jump out of my seat. The 3-D glasses made my nose itch. My rating: 1 Ghostie.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop: Please, this is crap. The funniest parts are on the previews. Paul being clumsy is funny one time, but throughout the whole blamed movie? Enough is enough. My rating: 1 Ghostie.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: What a concept. Born old, grow young. A love story to boot. Well made movie that has historical highlights. Reminded me of Forrest Gump. My rating: 5 Ghosties.

Gran Torino: Surprise ending that made everyone cry. Clint Eastwood still has it! Glad I met Clint when he was in downtown Sacramento filming Pink Cadillac. The man is a superb actor and I laughed at his old school ways. My rating: 5 Ghosties.

Slumdog Millionaire: Great Bollywood movie! Very dramatic and kept me right on the edge-of-my seat. Please tell me why the one guy was harvesting children's eyeballs. There was never an explanation for that. Does anyone know? My rating: 4 Ghosties.

So, if you have a chance check out some of the movies that got 5 Ghosties..or even 4 Ghosties. Sure to be classics. Tonight, I will just relax and watch on DVD: Josh Brolin's W, the story of former president George W. Bush and a Sundance Classic: Scotland, PA.

Below is a look at the Aztec God Quetzalcoatl. When I went to Chichen Itza, Mexico with the Penn & Teller Show, I wanted to know more about Quetzalcoatl. The Mayans call him: Kukulcan.

When Shannon McCabe (President of HPI) and I, went to Chichen Itza, we were walking through history. A find that may have it's roots in East Asia, India, Crete and with an extraterrestrial alliance. Quetzalcoatl was described as a white god with pale skin and blue eyes. Quetzalcoatl and his away team all wore black coarse robes and traveled in foreign ships with swan wings. The hulls of the ships glowed so brightly, that it was hard to look upon by the Indians of these indigenous cultures. Quetzalcoatl was known by several names. The Toltecs and Aztecs refer him as Quetzalcoatl. The people of the Incas called him Viracocha. The Mayans called him Kukulcan. The Chibchas called him Bochica. The Aymara from Peru called him Hyustus. It appears that Quetzalcoatl must have had a fast flying vehicle that could take him from Mexico to Central America to South America. What kind of ship could transport a fair skinned god around the country like that?

Quetzalcoatl even became the fifth king of the Toltecs during AD 977 to 999. Even though he was a king of the Toltecs, he was busy visiting other tribes of Indians. He brought the Toltecs laws and science. He set down laws that there was to be no more killing of animals and that the Toltecs would feast off vegetables and fruits. There would also be no more human sacrifice. At some point of time, Quetzalcoatl was tempted by sin and fell into disgrace. The disgrace that he faced, brought him shame and he decided to leave in his ship. He promised all of the tribes that he will one day return.

Who was Quetzalcoatl and where did he actually come from? Examining the Mayan script, it is very similar to Cretan symbols and script. Could Quetzalcoatl came from Crete? If you look at the Maize god of Copan, you will notice that this sculpture has an East Asian and Mediterranean influence. It is also interesting to note that the Jaguar men of the Olmecs were good at working with jade, so were the Cretans.

Then things get a bit confusing, because the Warrior Temple at Chichen Itza with all of its columns and thousands of pillars is somewhat reminiscent of Egypt. Now we have an Egyptian influence. Shannon and I, remember walking in between these pillars and were amazed at the accuracy and precision they were built and how they were placed in alignment around the Mayan pyramid.

What is also interesting is that there is a reptilian influence. Representations of reptiles like serpents are seen with the cultures I mentioned above. The reptilian influence is saturated throughout Egypt, East Asian, India and the list goes on and on.

I believe the reptilian influence represents ancient astronauts that resembled reptiles. The reptile influence can even be found in our own bible as it was the serpent that influenced Eve to bite from the forbidden fruit. The lotus motif seen at the Mayan Jaguar Temple has an eerie resemblance to the water-lily ornament found at the temple town of Amaravati, which is located on the East coast of Southern India.
But, we talk about a white god. There are not too many people with fair complexions in India, Egypt or even Crete. But most of the gods that are described in ancient times have a fair complexion or are reptilian in nature. Looking at the ancient scripts of India, there is talk of Vimanas, flying machines that can take the gods from city to city, country to country and planet to planet. Yes, there are 3 type of Vimanas. The Vimanas that took the gods from city to city or country to country almost appear to be airplanes, while the Vimana that can take a god from planet to planet appears to be a starship.

Could it be that ancient astronauts back long ago were living amongst our advanced cultures like the Phoenicians, Egyptians and bringing their knowledge of science, math and astronomy to cultures like the Olmecs, Toltecs and Mayans?
As the pieces of the puzzle come together, it appears that Erich Anton Paul von Daniken may have been right all along.

Before I close this article, I will talk about an interview I did with Judy Hu. This is what I learned from Judy:

On February 10, 2009, Tuesday, I interviewed Judy Hu at Starbucks and she had some interesting stories to tell me. She told me for the longest time she was haunted by her deceased mother and father. Her mother would move her favorite chair all the time, while her father would open and close her bedroom door. When they finally went into the light, she had no more problems with hauntings from her deceased mother and father. Judy is from Taiwan and while in Taiwan she had a friend that knew a man that had to marry a female ghost. This man went to a home and took an item that the female ghost was attached to. The female ghost would aggravate the man on a daily basis, even after he returned the item. He went to a medium and the medium said that the only way he would be rid of the female ghost is to marry her. The man married the female ghost and the female ghost was pleased and went into the light. This marriage news found its way into the newspaper. Judy had one more paranormal experience, she once consulted a medium and the medium spoke in the voice of her deceased grandfather.

And before I close this article, I want to talk about Mark Greer, a new photographer for HPI, see below:

Stepping into the Dark World of the Vampire of Sacramento: Richard Trenton Chase

2008-12-30T00:40:49Z

Stepping Into the Dark World of The Vampire of Sacramento: Richard Trenton Chase
By Paul Dale Roberts, HPI Ghostwriter
Edited by Shannon 'Ms. Macabre' McCabe

Special Note: All addresses are of public record as described in the book: The Dracula Killer by Lt. Ray Biondi and Walt Hecox.

Michele Stump, HPI Researcher and Paranormal Investigator sends me an email. It read: "Richard Trenton Chase was known as The Vampire of Sacramento. He killed several people in the Sacramento area. He eventually committed suicide while he was in jail. The book (The Dracula Killer by Lt. Ray Biondi and Walt Hecox) does not give a specific address of his apartment but does give a pretty clear description. His apartment was on Watt Avenue, apartment 15 one block east of 2909 Burnece Street. Murders occurred on 2630 Tioga Way (The murder of Teresa Wallin), 3734 Robertson Avenue (The murder of Ambrose Griffin), 3207 Merrywood Drive (The murder of Evelyn Miroth, Daniel Meredith, Jason Miroth (age 6), and Daniel Meredith Jr, age 2). The body of Little Daniel Meredith was found, without a head, behind a church at the corner of Watt and Whitney Ave. Hope I was of help! Michele"
It was time to give Shannon McCabe, our illustrious leader a call. There has been reports of possible residual hauntings near and around the victim's homes and possibly a haunting at the infamous Country Club Apartment Homes #15. Yes, we found his actual apartment, the home of Richard Trenton Chase. I explained to Shannon the details and that it was possibly good to get a HPI Splinter Cell Undercover Scouting Task Force to look into this matter. Shannon agreed, there is no harm in looking to see if there was a possible haunting at some of these locations. With this splinter cell, the reason why I would say this was an undercover investigation, because possibly people may live at these homes and I didn't want it to be obvious we are trying to uncover possible hauntings.

Going over the HPI membership roster, looking at photos and bios, I came up with the team of Michele Stump - HPI Researcher/Paranormal Investigator, Jennifer Baca - Scout and Paranormal Investigator and finally Cherie Vincent - Scout and Paranormal Investigator. I would be the lead investigator on this adventure. Now, that I have Charlie's Angels together for this assignment, I mean 'Paul's Angels', let's get rolling, the date is July 28, 2007, Saturday. Time 10am. I arrive at Jennifer's home and met up with Michele & Cherie. Jennifer's mom whipped me up some homemade Chow Mein. Wow! Jennifer's mom is a great cook! Jennifer and I took my car and Michele took her vehicle and she had Cherie as a passenger. Jennifer mapped out all of the locations. A trail of a serial killer. A serial killer who beheaded a child, who drank the blood from his victims, who cannibalized his victims. Richard Trenton Chase was a monster and for him to commit suicide in prison was an easy way out. Richard Trenton Chase was a mad man and started off mutilating animals and drinking the blood of animals. He graduated to the slaughter and drinking the blood of humans.

Richard Trenton Chase has a website, it reads in part:
"SACRAMENTO, California: This maniac became known as the Vampire Killer of Sacramento after a four day blood binge in January, 1978, in which he claimed six lives. Previously he had tried to inject rabbit's blood into his veins and had been institutionalized for exhibiting such strange behavior that merited the nickname "Dracula" within the hospital staff. In the hospital he complained that someone had stolen his pulmonary artery and that his head kept changing shape. Rich thought that his blood was turning into powder and that a Nazi crime syndicate that was haunting him from high school was paying his mother money to poison him. So he did what any other red-blooded American would do under such duress. He became a vampire.
A typically "disorganized" killer, Chase picked his victims randomly and left as much evidence as he could around his home and the crime scene. He drained his victim's blood, blended it with body organs and drank it to stop his own blood from turning into powder. He also took some body parts of his victims home to munch on later. It's seems that Ritchie should have never been taken off medication.
Chase moved into another apartment and began to catch and torture cats, dogs, and rabbits. He killed them to drink their blood. Sometimes he stole neighborhood pets, and he once even called a family whose dog was missing to tell them what he had done to the animal. He bought guns and started to practice with them.
Although he was on psychiatric medication, he remained unsupervised. His mother weaned him from the medications herself, deciding that he did not really need them. In 1977, the court-awarded conservatorship expired, and his parents did nothing to renew it, leaving Chase on his own."

To quickly sum up Richard Trenton Chase's life, he did the following:
1. He was suspected of weirdness at Pyramid Lake, Nevada when deputies discovered 2 rifles on his front seat and a plastic bucket with a cow liver in it.
2. He was a fan of the Hillside Strangler.
3. In his killings, he shot people, mutilated people, ate the brains of some of his victims. Such as a 22 year old victim named Teresa Wallin who was 3 months pregnant. He shot her and then mutilated her beyond recognition. He also mutilated a puppy near the Wallin home.
4. He was known to place animal feces in his mouth.
5. Some of his victims, he pulled out their intestines.
6. The 1992 movie 'Unspeakable' is based on Richard Trenton Chase.
7. The FBI still use the Chase case for the study of a disorganized serial killer.
Now, I have said a lot of gloomy stuff in this article. As we started this investigation leaving Jennifer's home, I tried to throw on some positive motivating music, so we don't have to think of the grisly acts of this madman. I threw on Sheryl Crow's All I Wanna Do. Jennifer listens half way into the song and yanks out the CD and says..."Paul, you need to get with the music, I made you a CD, listen to this!" Yes, Jennifer and I, can't agree on the music, but I must admit her CD had some good jams, so with all of the driving I was doing, we were listening to her new CD with songs like: Hot in Here - Nelly, Gettin' Jiggy Wit It - Will Smith, Promiscuous and Say it Right by Nelly Furtado, Walk on By - Sybil, Here I Come & Glamorous by Fergie, Electric Kingdom by Twilight 22, Jam on It by Newcleus, Ooh Wee by Mark Ronson, Mission Impossible Theme by Limp Bizkit, What it's Like by Everlast, Looking Through Patient Eyes by PM Dawn, Don't Let Go & Hold On by En Vogue.

Our first stop was the Robertson Avenue home, where Ambrose Griffin was shot while taking groceries inside the house. The team took digital photos and tried to entice any lost spirits with their digital audio recorders for any EVP activity. No activity was detected. Next stop was the Arcade Wesleyan Church where 22 month old David Ferrera was found by a janitor. The baby was stuffed in a box and the baby's body laid on top of it's own severed head. We went to the dumpster location to see if EVPs were detected. No activity detected. As Cherie was trying to capture some EVPs in this investigation, she played back an EVP she captured at the Brookdale Lodge, which could have possibly been the voice of the ghost child known as Sara. The voice said..."oh, oh, I dropped you." Could this have been a doll that Sara dropped into the creek and Sara tried to retrieve the doll and instead lost her balance and fell and drowned in the Brookdale Lodge Creek? I was hoping we could get an EVP as clear as the one that Cherie just played for me.
We needed a break from the ghost hunting and stopped off at my godson's 2nd birthday party at the NY Buffet /
4794 Manzanita Avenue, Carmichael, CA 95608. My godson Mark Edward Landon Crews was full of bright smiles! I gave little Markee a big hug! I ran into Markees' godmother Jean Paman and her martial art published author husband Joey. Joey will soon be writing a collection of ghost stories about his family in the Philippines, so be on look out for Joey's ghost stories! In fact Joey's brother is writing a book on various ghosts from around the world. I introduced my ghost hunting team to Markee's dad Dirk and the Pamans. We feasted on some delicious food, then we watched Markee blow out the candle on his birthday cake and open up his presents. I snapped away with my camera as Markee opened up my present, a very cool Spider-Man toy! It was joy to see Markee enjoying his birthday around family and friends. After the festivities and the hugs, we departed and continued our trek into the unknown.

As I was driving, I was thinking about this vampire cannibal and what came in mind was what my neighbor Rukesh Kumar told me about his days living in the Fiji Islands. Rukesh told me a story about the Cannibal Warrior Spectre of the Fiji Islands. Along the sandy beaches of Fiji Islands, people have witnessed a ghost of a warrior past carrying a hand carved cannibal fork weapon, or known as a 'brain fork'. The warrior ghost is running and as it approaches the witness it vanishes. The difference between this cannibal and a cannibal like Richard Trenton Chase is that the cannibal in the Fiji Islands was raised to be a cannibal, this was his society. Modern day society does not accept cannibalism. Cannibalism is inhuman and barbaric. Richard went against modern day society and reverted to a primitive stage of mankind. This was Richard's madness.

Our next stop was the home on 2800 Tioga Way. This is where 22 year old Teresa Wallin was killed. Richard spotted her at the pantry market according to Michele. Teresa went there to cash in a check, she arrived at the front door of her home, was shot in the head by Richard. Richard dragged her body into the bedroom where he opened up her stomach and ripped out her intestines. When the husband arrived he was petrified at the horrific sight. The investigating team tried to determine the house, but the house numbers did not coordinate with the book. I asked one of the neighbors who lived in the neighborhood when the crime was committed and he said the house was demolished. When I mentioned Richard's name, he trembled. He said it brought back bad memories. This house is a UTL. (Unable to Locate)...due to the fact it was demolished.

The next stop was the Merrywood House. In this home Evelyn Miroth, son Jason, 2 year old nephew David Ferreira and friend Daniel Meredith were killed. The neighbor found the bodies by looking through the window. The body of David was missing, later found in the dumpster by the church we visited. Evelyn's corpse was severely mutilated. There was a knife wound to her rectum. Jason was shot in the head as he went though the walkway towards the home. The house was abandoned and I was able to snap some photos of inside the home and the child's bedroom. Analyzing the digital photo I took, there appears to be 'white mist'. No EVPs detected. The white mist captured on the photograph is inconclusive, but I will submit the photo with this article.

Our last stop was Richard Trenton Chase apartment. Country Club Apartments, Apartment #15. In the book it said it was one block east of 2909 Burmese (a house he once robbed). We found the apartment and asked Tracie & Bryon Lampson who live in these apartments if that was the right apartment. They confirmed it. Bryon's friend Wayne found the body parts of David Ferreira in the dumpster. Tracie says that when there is a full moon, the apartment complex feels 'odd' and she has heard 'people hollering' and when she went to investigate, there were no people around. She has even heard her name called and there is nobody around calling her name. On this night there will be a full moon, but we won't be around, we are doing this investigation during the day.

As we walked around Richard's former apartment, we were supposed to be 'undercover', but after Cherie learned about the horrendous crimes of Richard, she was enticing Richard to make his presence know, hoping to capture an EVP. No EVPs were ever detected, but we got the confirmation from Tracie Lampson that strange things do occur at this apartment complex. As the investigation ended, Bryon Lampson walked us out of this locked community and sang the song..."If I Was a Serial Killer by the Insane Clown Posse".

This was a very chilling investigation and perhaps it was best we did this investigation during this hot July day, instead under a full moon in the darkest of night. If there is a Lake of Fire, let's hope that Richard has found his home there.

On a brighter note, I want to mention that HPI is always willing and assist new ghost hunting groups. On July 25, 2007, Shannon and I were preparing for a board meeting at the Coffee Garden. We arrived at 6:30pm to meet a new ghost hunting group called C.P.I. (California Paranormal Investigators). The members that showed up were: Brian Watts,David Watts, Tara Bryan, Leah Bryan and Nick Watts. Shannon and I gave them helpful tips on where to investigate hauntings and how to promote their group. For more information about this new ghost hunting group, they can be reached by email at: mcculloch5905@hotmail.com or CPInvestigators@hotmail.com They now have their own website: www.cpinvestigators.com Good luck CPI!

The Turlock Investigation: Return of the Ragmuffin Kid!

2008-11-24T02:05:16Z

The Turlock Investigation: Return of the Ragmuffin Kid
By Paul Dale Roberts, HPI Ghostwriter/Ghosthunter

7pm November 21, 2008, Friday. The cars start pulling up to my house. Paul’s HPI Task Force is ready for the investigation in Turlock. Paranormal Investigators showing up at 7pm are: Tom & Kathy, Mandy Lewis, Renee Martine, Tammy Straling.

The home in Turlock that we will be investigation was formerly owned by Cincinnati Reds Brad Lesley. The occupants that now live in this home are Chris & Tiffany Cameron and their two daughters. Chris’ mother Janice Cameron is my neighbor and she is riding up with me to Turlock. Meeting us in Turlock is independent paranormal investigator/sensitive Valerie Rankin.

The Ghosttracker (my car) has Renee, Janice and Mandy. Tom & Kathy & Tammy are in the other car. It’s a good distance from Sacramento, but we make it and are eager to conduct the investigation. I have written about the ghost of this home, that the Cameron’s have nicknamed the Ragmuffin Kid. The Ragmuffin Kid keeps their daughter up all hours of the night, insisting that she wants to play. The Ragmuffin Kid also wants to know how to play computer games! One of the games the Ragmuffin Kid wants to play is Spongebob. One of the daughters shows us a drawing she has made of the Ragmuffin Kid.

We had the Camerons turn off the lights and as pictures were taken, there were a slew of photographs depicting orb activity. EVPs were also gathered:

Renee asks “do you want to go into the light?” EVP answer – male voice: “Nooooooo.”
Renee asks: “are you afraid of being judged?” EVP answer – male voice: “Ahhhhhh”
Paul asks: “are you here?” EVP answer – male voice: “Yes” (sounds like a whisper).
Paul asks: “what is your name?” EVP answer – male voice: “Mark”.

When one of the investigators asks why don’t you want to go into the light, the closet light turns on by itself.

Certain investigators like Renee, Valerie and Kathy feel they are sensitives and pick up on certain activities around the house. Some of the psychic impressions they received is a Mexican girl named Louisa, a male entity with a small boy and small girl. Or a male entity and no children. Psychic impressions are not a proven science, but it is interesting to see the comparisons of their impressions.

A few of the investigators felt cold spots or felt something breezing by them. Some of the history of this house is that the bedroom door with lock on its own. One night the bedroom door locked on its own accord and locked in their cats.

We used the dowsing rods, and the dowsing rods pointed us into a bedroom where the entity indicated that it was present. Note: Dowsing rods are a pseudo-science and they are only used for experimentation.

David Mace, Paranormal Investigator discovered that there was a 7 year old named Rachel McClure that died in a car accident near the home and she was declared brain dead. There were other auto fatalities near this home.

As the lead investigator I broke up the task force into 3 teams, assuring that in each team we had a digital audio recorder and various cameras. The 3 teams would be dispersed into 3 areas of the home and later switched around.

Equipment used: 4 digital audio recorders, 5 digital cameras, pendulum, dowsing rods, EMF Reader.

FINDINGS:
Numerous digital photos show orb activity. The family has a long history of witnessing paranormal events that could indicate that the entities of this home could have followed them from a previous home. EVPs are recorded.

CONCLUSION:
After analyzing the EVPs, I conclude that this home is truly haunted. Note: I took notes on this investigation and somehow lost my notes. I wrote this article going by memory only. Let’s hope I did an accurate job in recording this investigation. I hate it when I lose my notes!

This was a long investigation and by the time we were finished we were pretty much tired. What we did not know is that on our way back to Sacramento, there would be a heavy fog on the road. We had to drive extremely slow on our trek back. Two of the investigators Tammy & Mandy decided to crash out at my house and wait until the fog lifted. I rather have my investigators in one piece, so they can be ready for the next investigation.

If my Turlock Task Force were to be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of their actions. Just joking, I thought I throw in a little Mission Impossible to this story! Until next time readers, perhaps we will get more than EVPs, maybe I will be able to catch a ghost in a mayonnaise jar and seal the lid as absolute evidence that ghosts exist!

The Haunting in Herald

2009-03-15T22:37:01Z

The Haunting in Herald
By Paul Dale Roberts, HPI General Manager/Ghostwriter

Before I get started, check out the pictures of this Herald investigation here:
http://s459.photobucket.com/albums/qq319/HPI_International/Herald/
While you are looking at the pictures, you may be wondering why my scouts are holding up notepads that promote the upcoming movie: The Haunting in Connecticut. Read below and find out!

It's March 14, 2009, Saturday. Tonight I have a big paranormal scouting mission to a private residence in Herald. But, before I get into the investigation, I must tell you, that I was contacted by Melissa Gardner, a representative of Terry Hines & Associates / Lionsgate. Melissa sent over 48 notepads that represent the movie that will be coming out March 27th, called The Haunting in Connecticut. This movie is based on true events. The notepads will be used by my paranormal investigative scouts to gather data from the investigation. On the cover of the notepad is the promo picture from the movie. Melissa is also sending Shannon 'Ms. Macabre' McCabe - President of HPI - 30 movie tickets that will be given away to our army of scouts. If you have any interest in the paranormal. you must see The Haunting in Connecticut, one of the best documented paranormal cases in history and may just rival the Bell Witch case. See the trailer here:

http://www.hauntinginconnecticut.com/

For information about Lionsgate, see their website here:

http://lionsgate.com/?section=film

On this night, I will be giving away the notepads, by asking a series of paranormal questions. When a scout gives me the correct answer, they get a notepad. A sample of the questions are: Question: What was the name of the police officer that witnessed a landing of a UFO in Socorro, New Mexico? Answer: Lonnie Zamora. Question: If an entity looks like you, what kind of entity are you dealing with? Answer: A doppelganger. Question: Kenneth Arnold saw a group of UFOs on what mountain range? Answer: Mount Rainer. Question: What is another name for the Abominable Snowman? Answer: Yeti. What is the Oz Factor? " Well, you get the picture. Also, I have 4 dinner tickets to give away as prizes for Ruth's Chris Steak House at 501 Pavilions Lane in Sacramento! So, tonight should be an exciting night! Note: The occupant’s family got the dinner tickets. Christina George and Rita Reyes were my assistants in handing out the notepads. They did a great job! Clap! Clap!

History of the Herald Home:
Occupant Teresa is touched inappropriately by the entity. Teenage boy is seen at the foot of the bed. Objects are moved around in the house and placed in other areas of the house. Black mass entity is seen. Shadows seen darting in and out of the hallway. Sonic boom noises are heard in the garage. Indian settlements long ago used to occupy this land. Teresa’s deceased grandmother is also felt in this home and may be protecting the family.

That night is here. I started preparing for this scouting mission by washing my vehicle The Ghost Tracker. Then I went up to Natomas to pick up one of my investigators Christina George and met up with fellow investigators Rita & Mark Reyes at my home. I think I am going to get very detailed in my article and give you the readers a blow-by-blow, no matter how trivial. Why? Because that’s how I roll. Who knows, maybe I will one day have to testify in court on how a paranormal case went down. Everyone headed out with Mark & Rita following me and Christina in my car, with a stopover at Starbucks. Mark knew I needed to get a jump start and had a caramel macchiato waiting for me. Back on the road again, heading down 99 South towards Herald. Face aka Telly Blackwood calls and he is on Ca 104. Mark and I stop our vehicles and wait for Face to catch up.

Then our 3 cars convoy to the location. We arrive and one car after another shows up. The occupant Teresa Rosales and her sister Mary Guerrero Sanchez and friend Paige Westlund are waiting for us. The location is a tricky location, I have to assist a few scouts in finding the location.

Roll call for paranormal investigative scouts and paranormal investigators: Hilary Taylor, Rita Reyes, Mark Reyes, Connie Brenner, Lynn Combs, Jeff Jones, Jessica Taylor, Christina George, Donna Reynolds (Core Member), Janet Watson, Sonja Caron, Face – Telly Blackwood (Videographer), Madeline Weddle, Alyssa Cover, Amber Wasson, Arlanna Scott, Andrew Godley, Enrique Serrano, Tia Saletta, Walter Recinos (my neighbor across the street), David Hirschman, Barbara Rubis-Johnson, Nereida Yanez, Renee Guzman, Iesha Bayona, Taj Plazola, Jen S, Shan C aka Shaggy, Rose Kaye, Paul Kaye, John Shue, Chantal Apodaco, Donna Jackson, Eileen Ver Hulet.

Representatives of Western Region Paranormal Research from Ceres were at this scouting mission. Andrew Godley brought his S.H.I. (Sacramento Haunting Investigations) crew. There were scouts as far away as Santa Maria (near Santa Barbara), Modesto and San Jose.

Tonight I appoint Lead Investigators for this scouting mission, they are identified as: David Hirschman, Andrew Godley, Enrique Serrano.

There are three main areas to investigate. Area 1: Large backyard. Area 2: Large front yard. Area 3: Interior of home.

Four investigative sessions are conducted. Team Alpha takes the backyard, Team Bravo the inside of the home and Team Charlie in the front yard. During the first three sessions, the teams will switch areas to investigate. Each team will have the opportunity to investigate all 3 areas. Investigative sessions are for 45 minutes each. After each investigative session is a briefing to analyze the evidence that we gather with occupants present. Evidence presented are EVPs, photographs and experiences of investigators. The 4th investigative session is a free-for-all, where investigators can explore on their own, any area of the home and the outside perimeters. After all investigations are done, then we will conduct three séances in three different sections of the home. Séance #1 in the living room. Séance #2 in the bedroom and Séance #3 in the garage. After the séances are completed, we will have the final debriefing of all evidence and opinions from all investigators.

Equipment being used: digital video cameras, digital cameras, temperature gauges, walkie talkies, flashlights, K2 Readers, EMF Readers, (Face wears his night vision goggles), dowsing rods, digital audio recorders, Toshiba laptop, pendulums.

EVPs gathered this night (will be analyzed further):
EVP voice of man: Leave us Edagar.
EVP voice of man: You can have the children.
EVP voice of man: Please go back.

Strange Findings at this Home:
Barbara R. and John Shue are next to me. I ask on my recorder, is there anyone here. I play back the recorder and it’s a man’s angry voice and it says: “I’m here!” A few minutes later Christina George adventures into the area where I retrieved the EVP and collapses. Her flashlight hits the ground and she hits the ground with a thud. Her eyes are rolled back and she is unconscious. She revives after about 6 or 7 minutes and she is disoriented. Could it be that the entity that I contacted on my digital audio recorder is the one that may have caused Christina to pass out? When Christina walked into the location, she was saying…”I don’t think anything is here” to two other investigators and passed out. This was truly an odd situation. I have never experienced something like this before.

During the séances, the K2 meters were lighting up to the red light on certain occasions, mostly when the occupant Teresa Rosales berated the entity for touching her inappropriately.

During an investigative session, an indentation appears on the pillow, as if someone’s head was on the pillow.

One investigator feels electricity pass through her body.

Some investigators see darting moving shadows inside the house.

During a séance a cold spot actually moves around the circle. The cold spot is very distinct. I felt the cold spot on top of my head and a couple of times across my arms. This is the first time I ever felt a distinct cold spot like that and we were able to follow the cold spot’s movement.

One investigator claims to see a moving orb with his vision.

Investigator feels someone lying next to her in bed, while she is conducting an investigation. There is an indentation on the sheets.

Hot burning sensation is felt on my back during séance. I make comment about it and one of the investigators looks at my back and finds two Ms scratched into my backside. They take pictures of the marks and I can’t honestly tell you if it was a distinct M or not. For all I know, I may have scratched myself when the sensation happened. Or just maybe I am in denial, because I don’t care too much when things happen to me. But, what is interesting is that the occupant has a sister and an aunt, I believe with the initials ‘M M’. So was the entity trying to relay a message by carving MM on my back? Who knows?

A zillion orbs are taking inside and outside of this home. Some orbs are designer orbs. When you enhance designer orbs, you may at times get a face in the orb. Orbs are never conclusive, unless you can show intelligent movement of orbs. Faces on designer orbs are always questionable by the skeptics.

Strange shadow photograph over the bed. There is no indication on how the shadow is there and when a second photo is taken, there is no shadow.

McCabe Method of gathering EVPs is done this night. It’s the quick and dirty way of collecting EVPs. Ask the question, pause and then play back.

FINDINGS:
You read my strange findings. It was a strange night and I really can’t make up my mind what we experienced. I do know is that when we tried to entice the entities to do this and that, they refused. But, yet they communicated with us in other ways. Like I said before, ghosts are not performers.

CONCLUSION:
Scary moment is when Christina George passed out. I truly feel something is abnormal going on in this home. We gathered EVPs, but before I commit myself to saying that the EVPs are truly valid, they will need to be fully scrutinized. So wait for my follow-up reports to this investigation and I will let you know if this home is truly haunted. I have a hunch though……I think it is.

I want to thank the occupant Teresa Rosales for the great barbeque she had for all the scouts. Hotdogs, hamburgers, chips, cheese, cold cuts, salads of every type, a huge apple pie brought in by Rita Reyes. Not to mention the sodas, beer, wine, energy drinks to chase down this great food! What is really cool about Teresa’s home is that she has a big camp fire going on the side of her house and you can eat your bbq meal next to the raging fire.

I ended my investigate at 4:30am. Christina and I, headed home. Christina saw that I was fatigued and had me go straight to my home. Christina hit the living room couch and I hit my bed with my dogs HPI & Pika beside me. I was so tired, I slept in until 12pm. Christina woke up at 9:30am. Christina was so kind to let me sleep in. I got Christina safely home Sunday afternoon. When doing late night investigations like this, do not drive home fatigued. There are many markers alongside highways of drivers that met their demise because they drove off the highway due to fatigue. This is a word of caution. Investigators of the world: Happy hunting!

HPI in Aruba: In Search of Natalee Holloway Part 2

2009-01-21T03:10:17Z

Vasilisa has her own ghost story from Jaimaca. When she was 12 years old, she saw a woman in white holding a handbag near a big tree. As she watched the woman, she vanished in front of Vasilisa's eyes. Here in Aruba, her friend was jogging and saw a man with no shirt, as he passed the man with no shirt, he vanished in front of his eyes. Vasilisa works at the Mambo Jambo and put on Conversations with a Serial Killer from Shannon McCabe's website and everyone at Mambo Jambo was watching Shannon and I talk about Richard Trenton Chase for Two Four Productions. Vasilisa had to check out my credentials and started reading some of my articles at Alien Seeker News. Vasilisa's desire is to meet celebrity psychic Nancy Bradley. I told her, I will hook her up when I returned back to the States.

The next person I interviewed was Fanny Rodriguez. Fanny is a proclaimed psychic and she says when she drives 60 mph, she can see ghosts walking along the road. She at times astral projects from her body. One night as she laid in bed with her boyfriend, she saw her boyfriend standing over her, but yet her boyfriend was still next to her in bed. Either we have a ghost that does a good impersonation of her boyfriend or her boyfriend astral projected himself and that is what Fanny saw.

I met Darierre del Roxario on the street and she attests that Natalee Holloway is actually seen walking along the beach, this is the blonde phantom woman of the beach.

My next victims, I mean interviewees were three women from Italy. I met the lovely Susy Serra and her two girlfriends, they are here from Italy. Instead of telling me ghost stories, these ladies wanted me to tell them ghost stories. So, I talked the night away about one encounter after another. All three women were fascinated about the paranormal.

After the three Italian women left, I went to another club, it was so jam packed, that people were dancing on the streets, outside the door of this establishment. Here I met a Swedish girl that has no interest in the paranormal, but had a strong interest in Salsa dancing. I showed her some quick moves and she was hooked. We danced in the street during a down pour of rain that lasted for 15 minutes. We were both soaked.

Looking at the time, I had to attempt to get EVPs of Natalee Holloway. The Swedish girl who wishes to remain anonymous tagged along with me via taxi to a location where Natalee may have been. Asking a series of questions, it appears I may have gotten one EVP of a woman.

Paul: Natalee are you here? EVP of young woman: Help me please.

More EVP attempts are made and nothing is found for this night. I close this story for now, as the Swedish girl is bringing me a long island iced tea, as she sips on an Arubian beer. Let's see what happens tomorrow.

Well, tomorrow is here. It's Thursday! I woke up before 10am! Yahoo! I didn't miss the breakfast buffet here at the hotel! After I finished eating, went down to the Havana Beach and laid out. This beach is a trip, it has big lizards walking around on the beach. Also, you might note, there are big green Iguanas that walk around Aruba parks. The parks in Aruba do not have squirrels, they have big green lizards. But, let's get back to the beach. When you go into the water, you have fish swimming around your legs. The water is crystal clear and warm! On the beach I met Patricia Howard from the Southern part of London. It was an enjoyable conversation with Patricia, since I have been to London and I told her all of the places I visited while in London.

It's nice to pass time with people that are worldly, you get a better perspective of life. Worldly people are always captivating. On this day, I was very successful in something I wanted to do since I have been out here. To travel over to Venezuela. But, I will tell you about that in a minute. As I walk the streets of Aruba, people have reggae music or salsa music blasting from their cars, from their homes, from their businesses. You can hear reggae artists such as the classic Bob Marley and the Wailers and the newer reggae artists such as D' Angel, Lady Saw, Barbee. On this day, would visit the Eet Cafe - The Paddock and Iguana Joes. I encountered a lovely lady named Leslie Kain from Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Ohio is just another place I have been to, so it was easy to talk with Leslie about her home town. But, what I didn't know about her home town is a place called Bobby Mackeys. In this old bar and restaurant she tells me that the cellar of this establishment is very haunted. She says objects constantly move around and many patrons have seen full body apparitions while frequenting this place. Okay Leslie, you have me convinced, if I ever get back to Cincinnati, I will definitely check this place out!

As I was sitting at the Burger King #14524 - Caya Betico Croes #81, Oranjestad, Aruba, I met Captain Crowley. I was choking down my double Whopper with cheese and large coke, that cost me a mere $7.60. This is better that the other prices I have been paying for meals. I'm starting to watch my budget now. I got into a conversation with Captain Crowley and he told me he has a vessel called the Smidgen parked off the docks. I told him how desperately I have been wanting to go over to Venezuela. Captain Crowley said he could oblige for a sum of $200.00. So, much for my budget...sigh. The only problem is that he will not be able to dock his boat in Venezuela, but he promised me that I could see the coastline and that I will be in Venezuela territorial waters. I can make the claim that I have been in the territory of Venezuela. I agreed and handed over $200.00 cash. This is a trip that would be well worth it. It's only a mere 15 miles to Venezuela and the reason why they have no ferry boats going over to Venezuela is because there is some bitterness between Venezuela and Aruba. The Venezuela president has been rubbing shoulders with the Russian president and both have been eyeing oil wells near and around Aruba. Aruba is afraid that Venezuela may take claim of their island. The 15 mile ride seemed to go on forever, but finally I was in territorial waters and could see the gorgeous coastline of Venezuela. One of the boat hands is from Venezuela, his name is Fredrico Perez. I asked Fredrico are there any cattle mutilations in Venezuela, evil gnomes or UFOs.

Fredrico in his own words says: Some people say that silver discs fly in and around the capitol of Venezuela. There have been cattle mutilations back in the late 80s. I don't know about gnomes, but it is said that there are little people living in the forests of Venezuela. Some of these little people have been seen near landed UFOs. I have a friend who says that he saw a little person on a high tree branch. As my friend looked at the little person, he could see that his skin seemed leathery, his color was sort of bluish and his eyes were red. My friend was very scared and ran from the tree.

I enjoyed my boat ride and the feel of the wind in my face was ecstatic. When I got off the boat, my hair was completely wind blown and I must have frightened many tourists with my wind blown appearance. Time to refresh myself back at the hotel. Goodbye Punto Fijo, Venezuela.

As I relax at my hotel bar sipping on an Arubian beer, I start a conversation with Lila Megens. Lila is from Venezuela and I easily place her into a conversation about ghosts and asked her if she ever had a paranormal experience. Lila tells me that when her sister was 7 years old, she complained about headaches. Then one day out of the clear blue, she passed away. Her mother was completely traumatized from this experience and would prepare a place on the table for her daughter, as if she was still alive. Every day her mother cried. Lila and her other sister had a vision that they were playing with their sister that passed away. The deceased sister stated to both living sisters, that she was still there, but she cannot be touched. She explains to both living sisters that she does not belong here, but to tell mother to please let her rest. Both visions were similar. When the mother heard of this, she finally calmed down and the visions stopped.

I ended this night by going back to the Mambo Jambo and listening to Madonna's song 'Holiday' and having a few laughs with the lady bartenders. On my way back to the hotel, I made some more EVP attempts at the beach and I was unsuccessful. Okay, it's time to sleep, tomorrow is Friday!

It's Friday! This week is going by fast. As I look out from my hotel through the palm trees that hold large coconuts, I see a multi-colored designed bus. These buses that travel throughout Aruba are referred to as Bar Hopping Buses. At night time, they carry party revelers throughout Aruba and they make stops at various nightclubs and bars. You don't see things like that in Sacramento. Yep! I am not in Kansas anymore.

Today I went on the Atlantis submarine tour. I have never been on a real submarine, but I did this time. I have been on a 1/2 submarine in Tahiti, but this is something I have never experienced. Besides seeing the spectacular coral reefs and an abundance of colorful sea life, you also get to see two shipwrecks. One of the shipwrecks is the Antilla. This was once a German U-boat supply ship. During World War II, Dutch Marines gave the ship 24 hours to surrender.

A Haunting in Clarksburg: St. Joseph's Church

2009-07-05T07:40:41Z

It's the 4th of July 2009 and today I will get a hundred bucks to film a wedding. On this day I am a Wedding Videographer and Ghosthunter and I am with Shannon 'Ms. Macabre' McCabe, Wedding Planner and Ghosthunter. Shannon and I arrive early to St. Joseph's Church; we have to prepare for the wedding party that will soon show up. But, before they show up, Shannon and I, conduct some EVP work. Inside the church after many attempts, we picked up on an EVP that sounds like a woman saying: "Bless the child".

Stop, before you go on with this article, see the pictures of Clarksburg here:
http://s643.photobucket.com/albums/uu157/PaulDaleRoberts_2009/Clarksburg/

Looking at the ghostly history of Clarksburg, it appears that Clarksburg has many ghosts. There are stories about a cowboy ghost that plays the harp. A ghostly goldminer was seen reading a newspaper at Haycock Shoals. Some teenagers along the Sacramento River bank saw a woman with a translucent body holding a skull. There is even a ghostly Sheriff seen at Bear Flag School Park. Clarksburg has many ghost stories and today and later on this evening we will conduct a full investigation of this area. The wedding party started showing up and Shannon and I had to cut our ghost hunting short. I had to set up my video camera and start filming. After the wedding we all went to Il Fornaio Restaurant on 4th and Capitol for the reception. When Shannon and I had a break from the wedding reception, we ate a scrumptious dinner brought to us by the Catering Sales Manager: Gretchen Wacholder. Shannon and I even got some dancing in as we listened to the music from www.marquisentdjs.com (Marquis Entertainment).

Finally we completed the wedding agenda and we were free to leave for our ghosthunting adventure back to Clarksburg. I remember Clarksburg from 1992, when I got married to my 2nd wife Patricia Mary Mitchell at the Clarksburg Community Church. The town is a nice small community and earlier this morning, I watched their 4th of July parade, there were many Clarksburg citizens out there with pride holding their American flags.

When Shannon and I arrived about 10:30pm, we did more EVP work. We were not able to obtain any more EVPs, because the sounds of cars going down the highway caused interference. The Church this morning was perfect in obtaining EVPs, because it was an enclosed environment with no one around. Shannon and I did hear what sounded like a muffled growling type of noise that came from the brush and thickets near Victory Highway.

This ends our investigation for this 4th of July evening; tomorrow we have an investigation in Capay!

A Thank You Shout Out!
Thank you to HPI Ufologists Tammy Straling/Case Manager, Tim Dennehy and Renee Martine for securing the campsite for the Lawrence Livermore Lab UFO Hunt!

Ufologist Tammy Straling's Livermore UFO Report:
June 27, 2009 Saturday: UFO Sighting over Lawrence Livermore Labs.
Witness: HPI Case Manager Tammy Straling.
Time: 3:01 am
Location: Carnegie Campsite
The Report in Tammy's Words: I observed a white round object in the sky that seemed to have gotten brighter and bigger and blinked 2 times and the proceeded to jet off. It appeared to me to be very high up. I had been watching all night and did not see anything that looked at all like this. I had witnessed falling stars and satellites but they did not look like this. This occurred at approximately 3:01 am pacific time.

Message from Tim Dennehy/About Carnegie and his Livermore UFO Report:
Carnegie Ca is now the area in and around Carnegie SVRA. The Carnegie Brick And Clay Company factory producing bricks here became unprofitable around 1916. The site had been noted for it clay suitable for making bricks by gold rush 49ers.The town was sold-off and the buildings raised in an effort to return the area to cattle grazing. Tim Dennehy's UFO Report for 6/27/09: At approximately 0435 hrs I was looking at the Constellation Aquila.I startled by a bright single flash (magnitude 1 ) to west of ( Zeta) Aquila (Approx. RA: 19h 4m 50s Dec: +1346'33"). Then a single object traveling west to east following a straight path was observed having originated from the flash-point. The object faded out entering the constellation of Sagittarius. My conclusion: Most likely a satellite that occluded a star causing a "flash" and then continued on its way.

A Haunting Night to Remember: The Historic National Hotel: Jamestown

2009-03-26T10:54:06Z

I have been to many old haunted hotels in my lifetime, but I must say that the Historic National Hotel in Jamestown takes the proverbial cake. Mysterious Realms Investigative Team heads over to Jamestown to discover what supernatural forces are at work in this old hotel.

To see pictures of this investigation, stop here:
http://s459.photobucket.com/albums/qq319/HPI_International/Jamestown/

Mysterious Realms Investigative Team roll call: Shannon ‘Ms. Macabre’ McCabe, Paul Dale Roberts, Bobby Marchesso, Chris Grissom, Bryan Coleman and David Mace. Let me give you a briefing on the players (paranormal investigators).

Shannon McCabe – Ghosthunter for 14 years. President of HPI.
Paul Dale Roberts – Ghostwriter/Paranormal Investigator. General Manager of HPI.
Bobby Marchesso – TV Personality, Psychic, former police officer.
Note: To find out who Bobby Marchesso is, stop at his official website:
http://www.bobbymarchesso.com/
Chris Grissom – Former Military Policeman, Technical Support
Bryan Coleman – Videographer, Associated with Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters.
David Mace – Boom/Sound Man, former police officer.

Note: Bobby Marchesso tonight is part of this team, but he heads back to Los Angeles tomorrow and he is the TV star of Two Four Productions’ Conversations with a Serial Killer, out of England. Another highlight is that there are 4 former cops on this team. They are: Paul Dale Roberts – military cop, Chris Grissom – military cop, David Mace – civilian cop and Bobby Marchesso – civilian cop. Now, you know something about the team, let’s talk about the investigation. The date is March 25, 2009, Wednesday.

The first thing I do is go through the interview process. I interview G.G. Gruel – Webmaster/Events Coordinator/Marketing Manager/Visual Decorator and Lisa Lawmaster – Bartender/Desk Clerk. This is what I learn from the interviews:
a) The resident ghost is named Flo aka Flora. Flo is described as having sandy blonde hair. She wears her hair up. She has been seen in a white lace wedding dress. It is believed that Flo died at the age of 19. She died of a broken heart when her fiancée was ambushed at the hotel bar and shot while walking down the steps. People who patronize this hotel say that this hotel has a life of its own. Flo’s presence is strong in this hotel.
b) One male patron was a disbeliever of Flo and Flo would not allow the bartender to pour from the drink nozzle. From the drink nozzle would have came out cranberry juice. When he finally said he believed in Flo, then the cranberry juice came out from the drink nozzle to make his alcohol drink.
c) Flo will get frustrated and want to make her presence known. One night she took a picture from the wall and it hovered in the air for a while, then settled down on the other side of the bar.
d) Lisa Lawmaster has seen Flo with her peripheral vision peeking from around the doorway at her.
e) Some male guests make claim that Flo has sat on their chest, or sat on their laps. One male patron could even feel Flo’s breath on him.
f) Some mischievous activity are: lights going off and on; footsteps heard in hallway; footsteps heard approaching doors and then stopping; patron’s luggage unpacked by unseen forces; boom boxes turn on by themselves and music plays; there is an argument at the bar and a coffee pot filled with coffee grinds is thrown across the bar.
g) Room 4 is the coldest room. There is no explanation why this is the only room that is so cold. When the Mysterious Realms investigators went into this room, we all felt the coldness.

Shannon’s Interview Discoveries:
Shannon later learns from her own interviews that when Flo is agitated she will throw things around. Room 11 lights go off and on by themselves. Guests and employees feel there are 5 entities in this hotel and Bobby Marchesso without knowing this said that there are 5 entities. The hotel was built in 1859 and employees guess that Flo may have died between 1860 and 1880. Flo’s fiancée may have been a prominent attorney. No one can answer why Flo’s fiancée was killed and some say the shooter was intoxicated.

Note: Bobby Marchesso was on the mark on various paranormal events that have been recorded by guests in their hotel room diaries. Bobby was having dinner with the team and says..”Paul is here”. Two minutes later, I walk through the door.

Equipment Used: digital audio recorders, video cameras, EMF Readers, K2 Reader, digital cameras and the Frank’s Box.

Bobby Marchesso brought out what he calls the Frank Box. It’s a transistor radio connected to two speakers. When you ask a question, the search mode on the radio will tune into various words, in which the entity can use to talk with. We got all kinds of answers to various questions. Voices that said: yes, sure, Steve (many times), Bobby, Paul, poison, etc. We asked how the entity died and it says poison two times. The entity says Steve many times and the proprietor is named Stephen Willy. The entity calls out my name and calls out Bobby’s name. It’s an interesting tool and I want to continue using it, to better understand the methodology.

We acquired one EVP. Question asked…”is there anyone here?” A deep male EVP voice says…”I’m here.” In one room, the K2 Reader and EMF Reader go crazy in two different areas of the room. No outlets are causing the unusual spikes.

While taking pictures of the group, I can see a woman entity go across the mirror through my digital camera viewfinder, but when I look up, I cannot see the female entity. Photographs show designer orbs around Shannon McCabe.

Tonight Chris and I are sharing a room, that room is Room 4, the coldest room in the hotel. I will follow-up with this investigation in a follow-up article, right now I am heading to bed. While we had this investigation tonight, the HPI paranormal scouts enjoyed themselves at Natomas Regal Theater. Lionsgate allowed 30 HPI paranormal scouts the opportunity to watch the premiere of The Haunting in Connecticut. Three scouts called me tonight, Mark & Rita Reyes and Christina George. They said the movie is excellent!

Okay, I have to check out this movie as soon as I can. But tonight, I will sleep at this beautiful old hotel. I will enjoy the softness of the beds, the comfort of the rooms, the gorgeous antique décor. I am in paradise and I know I will sleep comfortably, unless Flo wakes me up. My pallet is satisfied tonight from the excellent cuisine this hotel provides. If you ever have a chance to visit this landmark hotel, it’s a place you don’t want to miss.

Mothman: Don't Play Games With Me!

2009-12-17T04:28:43Z

Picture is of Paul Dale Roberts and Shannon McCabe - HPI Esoteric Detectives

December 15, 2009, Tuesday, Time: 20:06 Hours. My paranormal cellular hotline is ringing off the hook; the ringtone 'X-Files' is heard. I answer the phone and I hear a guy screaming in the background. His two buddies have me on the speaker phone and they are explaining to me that their friend witnessed a Mothman. I can tell by the yelling, screaming, loud talking that everyone must be intoxicated. Just a hunch.

The callers call 8 times this Tuesday evening and they are screaming in my ear about their Mothman sighting. One of the guys claim that they saw Mothman first in South Florida and now it has followed them to Sacramento. They claim the Mothman swooped down from the Sacramento Tower Bridge and almost grabbed their screaming friend. They claim that their friend is hysterical and he is unable to speak to me. Their message is incoherent and some of their talk becomes abrasive and brash. I get fed up with the calls and hang up on them. They continue to call me and tell me to get out to the Tower Bridge. I finally shut down my cell phone completely; I will deal with them tomorrow, when all three will be sober (hopefully).

It is now Wednesday and I call them back. I leave messages and no return phone calls. Finally one of the men calls me back. I asked him if he was the one that called me last night about a Mothman story, he says yes. I ask him what his name is and he doesn't want to disclose his name. I explain to him, before I take down his Mothman story, I want a source for this story. If someone wants to know the identity of the Mothman victims, I want that someone to be able to find them to clarify their story. Basically, I want their story validated with some kind of authenticity. I don't know how many times I have told stories that have been told to me, by people who want to remain anonymous. But, in this case where the callers sound intoxicated and they call my number 8 times, I am going to place a source for this story in the article.

The man I was talking to, explained he did not want to be identified and I explained to him, that his phone number was on my cell phone and that I would utilize his phone number as the source of the information. He then back tracked with his story and begged me to not publish his phone number into my article. He apologized for calling me so many times last night and told me that I would never be bothered again by him or his friends. Thinking to myself: 'Ahhhh...so this was a prank?'

I think what ticked me off about this call is that I could tell that the callers were intoxicated. I do not mind getting a phone call from a sober person that wants to remain anonymous, but when I get a call from 3 loud talking drunkards, it sort of takes me over-the-edge. So, let this be a warning to any intoxicated so-called paranormal witness, if you call me, you best be sober or you could find your phone number published in my article as being the source of the story.

This article is dedicated to Anita Gonzalez - My Common-in-Law Daughter-in-Law married to her Common-in-Law Husband Jason Randall Porter (My son).

Hey Paul, my name is Dirk and I am with the SSDIS (Supernatural Strategic Deployment Intelligence Squad), I have talked with you a few times on email, I just want to let you know we had a spectacular investigation last night. The home we were investigating is about 56 years old. The 2nd owner of the home that lived in this home in 1967 was mentally unstable and committed suicide by slicing his throat with a straight razor in front of the mirror while under the influence of a hallucinogenic (perhaps LSD). While we were investigating this home, we obtained one EVP that said: "Leave me alone!" It was the voice of a man, we detected a Southern accent in the voice too. During the investigation a light bulb blew out and there was glass all over the kitchen floor. Later one of my investigators was struck with an ash tray. The ash tray seemed to fly out of the bedroom and into the dining room area ,then it smacked my investigator right in his chest. He is doing fine, but was very startled from this experience. Paul, we are going back to investigate this home, if you like you are more than welcome to join us. The address is: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

We call the entity 'Straight Razor Ross'. The occupants who live here now, think the guy that killed himself was named Ross, we are doing some research on the place now, I will let you know what we find. Anyway, this Ross ghost has been seen walking around the house with a straight razor and of course the occupants were completely creeped out. The occupants say that sometimes late at night, it sounds like a man is running around on their roof and sometimes they see the man in the bathroom mirror holding a straight razor with blood flowing from his neck. Crazy huh? Let us know if you want to investigate this home, I know it's far, but just let us know. Your new friend Dirk.

WISE...for 2012?
A satellite probe went up called The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). This satellite will be mapping the universe and looking for any threatening asteroids or comets. It is rumored that on December 21, 2012, that we could be impacted by a meteor. What a coincidence that WISE is now orbiting Earth and is out looking for a possible dangerous threat to Earth. Does the government know something that we don't know or perhaps the government doesn't want to take any chances on the Mayan Prophesy of 2012. Hmmmmmm.

2012 Dream:
December 13, 2009, Sunday: I had the craziest dream (nightmare) and I must relate it here. I dreamt it was Dec 21, 2012 and I was at a drive-in with my son Jason and my ex-wife Patricia. Why I would be at a drive-in with my ex-wife and son is beyond me. Anyway, there was an announcement on the intercom that said that we are now confined at the drive-in and the National Guard and police are barricading us inside the drive-in. We were now under martial law and if we were to leave the confines of the drive-in parking lot, we could be shot and killed. Then I woke up. Weird. Paul Dale Roberts.

HPI Chronicles: A Haunting in Natomas

2009-09-26T17:20:51Z

September 25, 2009, Friday: Tonight we have an investigation in Natomas. Natomas is a suburb of Sacramento. The home we are investigating is a beautiful 2 story home that is about 7 years old. Jinnae Esteves is the primary occupant of the home. Her daughter Jasmine has witnessed all kinds of paranormal activity in this home. Here is a run down of what Jasmine has witnessed or experienced:

1. She has felt things crawling up her legs.
2. Something has grabbed her arms.
3. An entity grabbed Jasmine’s head and pushed it into the pillow and for a few seconds, she had a hard time breathing.
4. Jasmine has been pushed.
5. Jasmine’s brother has witnessed the cabinet doors opening and closing.
6. Sometimes something pinches Jasmine’s arms.
7. The entity has whispered Jasmine’s name.

To see pictures of this investigation, go here:
http://s643.photobucket.com/albums/uu157/PaulDaleRoberts_2009/Natomas/

I believe tonight, will be a very interesting investigation. Paranormal Investigators present are: Lead Investigator: Paul Dale Roberts; Hana, Renee Fontana/Michelle Fontana aka the Border Girls; Connie Brenner; Lynn Combs; Julie Lemos, Donna Jackson and Eileen VerHulst. Connie, Lynn, Donna & Eileen are HPI Investigators, but they also have their own ghosthunting group in Modesto called EVP (En-Vision Paranormal).

Equipment being used: Toshiba laptop, ghost radar, digital audio recorders, digital cameras, EMF readers, temperature gauges, K2 readers.

Something unusual happened when I walked into this home. I was going to do a blessing and my Catholic holy water containment bottle vanished. I placed it on the kitchen table and in just 2 minutes, I turn around and it was gone. I have no explanation for this, but things in this home have turned up missing and then they reappear.

With my interview of Jinnae, she tells me that her great uncle actually died in this house. Jinnae has certain items in the house that once belonged to deceased family members. Jinnae’s great uncle’s ashes are in her room. Jinnae has not witnessed paranormal activity in the house, but has heard creaking noises late at night. Jinnae’s mother has witnessed the electrical toothbrush going off and on by itself.

On this night we are having 45 minute investigative sessions with a briefing of our findings after each investigation. The first briefing we discovered that we may have an EVP that says ‘okay’. This EVP was captured on the 2nd floor bedroom. Julie Lemos took a picture of a picture of the family's late uncle Billy and on his chest, it appears that his face is imprinted on his chest area. A second photo was taken and this anomaly does not appear. We are getting orb pictures throughout the home. So far, nothing real substantial. I am writing this article during real time, so let’s see what happens after the second investigative session.

The 2nd session briefing I discover that Renee felt a tug on her pants. Julie detected a cold spot. Julie takes another picture of a picture of the late uncle Billy and gets an anomaly that looks like Billy’s face on the left hand side of his shoulder. We have a couple questionable EVPs that need to be fully analyzed later.

After two investigative sessions, we ended it by having the Border Girls conducting an Native American cleansing with burning sage. Everyone held hands around the circle while the Border Girls went into different rooms expelling any negative entities that could be residing in the home. The cleansing is a Choctaw Nation cleansing. The Border Girls are Choctaw.

Some possibilities that could be causing this haunting are:
1. Jasmine could be projecting poltergeist energy.
2. The land could be haunted. There are street signs with Indian tribe names. Perhaps the developers were aware of the Indian tribes that once inhabited this land.
3. Psychometry of items in the home that once belonged to deceased family members.
4. The family member that died in this home and if he still resides in this home, a portal could have opened allowing other entities to enter this home.
FINDINGS:
Possible EVPs, some anomalies on our photographs that need to be analyzed further and make sure it's not a type of matrixing.
CONCLUSION:
To be honest with you, I know I am not losing my mind when I said I placed the holy water containment bottle on the kitchen table and I merely turn my back for 2 minutes and look back and the bottle is gone. There was no one near or around the kitchen table. I am baffled. I started having self doubts, but I distinctly remember placing the bottle in my pocket and placing it on the table. Is this home haunted. I believe there is something odd going on in this home. This home warrants further investigation.

See what the Sierra Sun says about Truckee Scouting Mission:
http://www.sierrasun.com/article/20090921/COMMUNITY/909219990/1051

Follow-up from Shannon McCabe on Truckee Scouting Mission:

Truckee Hotel: Shannon McCabe
The Truckee Hotel is an awesome place to stay and hunt ghosts. I loved my room- 216 and Tim and Carol
enjoyed theirs as well. We want to send out a very BIG Thank you to the manager of the hotel Tim. He treated us
like rockstars! It was a wonderful time. We even enjoyed a FREE continental breakfast! Thank you to Tim and
your staff!!!

Moody's Bistro- Thank you to GianCarlo and the staff, excellent food and a wonderful dining experience!

More FINDINGS from Shannon:
From Shannon: "I was walking up the stair case from the 3rd floor to the 4th floor to check on the investigators
and as I stepped up the step I heard "HI" in my ear. I thought, I must just be tired there is no way I heard that.
Then I got to the top of the staircase and heard it again. This time I was positive. Just then Julie Lemos came
and said, the group just got some great EVP's you must go listen and she lead me to where the investigators
were in room 418. The EVP's were very clear. As I left the room to go back to my room, Chantal and Tammy
approach me and I tell them my experience with the "Hi" they tell me that this is where a man broke his neck on
the low hanging celling and died during a fire. Hum...

In the seance- we utilized a Frank Box and got the entity to say, Paul, Shannon and a few other things. We
also had very good responses via the dowsing rods that Renee & Tim were using. They continued to get the
same answers sitting across from each other. We also asked for a "sign" and our "spooky" sign that was sitting
on our table flew off onto the floor. I know I did not knock the table. We also had some fluctuations on the K-2
meter that could have been an entity trying to make contact. We did not get any strange anomalies on film so
we would call the seance inconclusive. "

The Demon Warrior is on the Prowl!

2009-08-27T20:38:37Z

The owner of HPI - Shannon 'Ms. Macabre' McCabe received an emergency phone call from South Sacramento, near where I live. The caller Ted Huntley tells Shannon that he believes a demon entity is inhabiting his home. Shannon sends the call over to me. While talking with Mr. Huntley, I am taking notes. I go back over his statement and discover that his statement is consistent and has no discrepancies or contradictions.

Mr. Huntley basically says that he was playing with a Ouija Board with 3 of his buddies, they were trying to make contact with the late Michael Jackson, since all 4 of them are big Michael Jackson fans. They had a candle lit and the candle flame went out on it's own. They felt a cold draft enter the room. According to Mr. Huntley, one of his buddies passed out and started convulsing for 2 minutes.

After this session, they put up the Ouija Board and never brought it out again. Mr. Huntley says on one night the window slammed closed on its own. He has now seen a dark mass moving from his bedroom to the living room. Three scratch marks in the form of circles appeared on his legs. Mr. Huntley tells me he doesn't want an investigation, he wants the demons out of his house. He wants his home blessed! Mr. Huntley is a devout Catholic and asks if I could do an emergency blessing of his home. I agree.

I am not ordained, but I have learned enough from my former priest in Louisiana to know what is needed for a blessing. I head over to Mr. Huntley's home and to my horror, the home smelled of rotted flesh. The smell lasted for mere seconds before dissipating. I asked Mr. Huntley if he smelled the odor and he said "no". I proceeded with the blessing and after I was finished, Mr. Huntley claimed he could smell a flowery fragrance. Now here is the odd thing, I didn't smell the fragrance. Legend has it, that if a home is properly blessed, you will hear a thundering sound. The sound of demons leaving the home and afterwards a fragrant smell will resonate through the home. This is the indication that angels are now protecting the home.

I didn't hear any thundering sounds, but Mr. Huntley claims to have smelled the fragrance after my blessing. So, perhaps I was successful. It has been over a week now and Mr. Huntley claims that there is no more paranormal activity in his home. He has also thrown his Ouija Board into the Sacramento River. Note: To burn a Ouija Board can bring upon a curse to your person or family. It is best to dispose of a Ouija Board by burying it on hollowed ground away from your property or throwing it into a river.

Mr. Huntley, have a good life and always seek out positive energy!

PARANORMAL MUSIC PHENOMENON:
On August 22, 2009, Saturday something paranormal happened to me. I took Vicci Williams to West Wind Sacramento 6 Drive In to see GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra and Transformers II. When I left the drive in, I played my CD player in my car and a CD that Shannon McCabe made for me was playing. I hit all the tracks of this CD and it was definitely the CD that Shannon made for me. The strange thing is the fact that I took out Shannon's CD earlier that day. There was no CD in my CD player, but here it was playing the songs of Shannon's CD. After I placed another CD into the CD player everything was back to normal. I had to pull over my car, because I was totally flabbergasted on how something like this could happen. Vicci witnessed the event and she was astounded by this odd incident.

FENSALDEN INN GHOST STORY BY GLORIA:
This past weekend I learned of a ghost at the Fensalden Inn in Albion, just south of Mendocino. Their website is http://www.fensalden.com/.

The story as told to us guests by Bob, the innkeeper goes like this.

In the days when the inn was a bar and brothal, Elsa worked there. She became involved with one of her customers. When he was about to leave, she packed her bags to go with him. He told her she couldn't go with him, it had only been business.

She retreated to the attic and now haunts it. A lamp will disappear and then some time later reappear, apparently taken and returned by Elsa. The movement of Nathaniel Hawthorne's desk into the Hawthorne Room (former attic) has quieted Elsa down. She currently turns the light in the room off and on.

Strikes!

2009-02-07T10:54:28Z

It's time to have some fun in Elk Grove and that fun is today! Today is February 6, 2009, Friday. There is a new bowling alley in Elk Grove and it's called Strikes Family Entertainment Center! Located at: 3443 Laguna Blvd. Everytime I drive by this bowling alley, the parking lot is filled with cars. Hmmm...what is all the fuss about? I think it's best I call my two news photographers and find out. Chantal Apodoca arrives at my home with camera in hand and says...."let's party!" We head over to Strikes and meet up with my other photographer Mark Greers. The band playing tonight is called Solsa. This band plays R&B classics and of course, they play Salsa music. The lead singer is incredible, her vocals bellow out through the whole club and before you know it everyone is on the floor dancing!

Check out Solsa at:
www.solsaentertainment.com

To see pictures of this outing, click on the link below:
http://s459.photobucket.com/albums/qq319/HPI_International/Strikes/

I have been to many nightclubs in the Sacramento area and when the doorman/security guard has to pat you down, you know something is wrong. At Strikes, the security is exceptional. You feel safe in this club. I look around a packed house and everyone is smiling, the dance floor is filled with dancers. The Elk Grove police make their presence known and when they come in, they have smiles on their faces and greet people. Elk Grove's Finest is there to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves and assure the peace.

Another thing, I love about this club (Coach’s Bar and Grill) is there is no age prejudice. Anyone 21 and up is welcome in this nightclub and you find people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s all partying together and having a great time. This club almost reminded me of many bay area clubs where there is no age prejudice and anyone can walk in and just have a great time mingling and socializing with everyone. If you love sports, there are HUGE TV screens on the walls. You can watch all the sports action and almost feel like you are in the stadiums.

I had my photographers roam the club and take pictures of the festive crowd. I found two of my friends having a good time there, they were Isabel Naranjo and Rosie Carmona. Both Isabel and Rosie were enjoying the band and pulsating with the beat. This is a place that Elk Grove needed badly, a place where people can enjoy a festive atmosphere and be around other people for great social conversations. Like I said, the security is great and they place arm bands around your wrist indicating that you are in the legal age limit to drink alcohol. The kids have their own section in this bowling alley where they can also listen to music and dance and of course there is bowling!

If you live in the Elk Grove area or anywhere in Sacramento County, you might want to check out Strikes for some great entertainment, food and dancing! I didn't talk about the food, but there is a variety of great dishes to choose from. On this night, Chantal and I munched down on hotwings, chicken strips, chips and salsa! Yep, it's party time in Elk Grove....like Black Eyed Peas says..."Let's Get it Started!"

Macabre Hearse Tour

Tonight picked up Shannon 'Ms. Macabre' McCabe at her home and drove her down to Old Sacramento. While we waited for our clients, we had a beer at the Old Sports Bar (Shannon's treat). Johnny Warlock and his girlfriend showed up in their black Hearse called 'Spooky'.

To see pictures of the Hearse Tour, go here:

Five of our clients/guests showed up and we showed them the Delta King, in which a small girl was killed in the 30s and thrown overboard. Her apparition is seen on this boat/restaurant. Shannon explained the La Loreina that has been seen along the Sacramento River. We also showed them the following:
Evangeline’s - where a miner's apparition is seen in the basement.
Tower Bridge - where Mothman has been seen by 3 witnesses.
Sunken Graveyard.
Fanny Ann's - where in the 1800s, Angie was killed by her lover for cheating with another man.

Scouting Mission to Esquire Imax Theater/De La Rosa Residence

2008-12-01T05:38:57Z

Scouting Mission to Esquire Imax Theater/De La Rosa Residence
By Paul Dale Roberts, HPI General Manager/Ghostwriter

Date: November 29, 2008, Saturday.

On this day it’s time to have a scouting mission. A scouting mission consists of many paranormal investigators and ghosthunters-in-training. We would meet up at Starbucks at 15th and Broadway in Sacramento for the briefing of what they may find at these two locations. I had Shannon talk about the McCabe Method of gathering EVPs, we took our historical group shot and the signing off of release forms.

Paranormal Investigative Scouts attending this event were: Laura Miller, Chantal Apodaca, Rita Reyes, Bryan Coleman/Videographer, Natalee, Karen Mace, Dave Mace, Tim Hawkins, Shannon McCabe, Christine B./Hostess of Paranormal Radio KFOK, Rob Hays, John Shue, Tanya Curtis, Christina George, Kristen Sheley, David Hirschman, Valerie Rankin and some other scouts. Lead Investigator: Paul Dale Roberts.

Our first stop was the Esquire Imax Theater, in which the manager Wendy Russell gave us the grand tour of this beautiful theater. A place filled with history, the murder of Jim ‘Spats’ Pantages/local musician who was killed in front of this theater. Grace, a small girl entity, along with a small boy that rides a tricycle also haunts this theater. Since, I have already written about this theater, I will not get into too many details. We came to this theater to investigate and later in this article you will see what we found.

After the Imax Theater, we went to a private residence in Natomas. A place I call ‘The De La Rosa Residence’. We know this place is haunted, due to the fact we have investigated this home two times before and acquired EVPs and photographic anomalies that we can’t explain rationally. When we arrived at the De La Rosa Residence, the occupant Gina De La Rosa greeted everyone cheerfully. After our investigation of both locations, I interviewed everyone separately and this is what they had to say:

Karen Mace: “Paul, my EMF reader went off, when someone was talking about their father haunting this home (De La Rosa Residence). The lights went out on my reader. When Valerie (another scout/proclaimed psychic) talked about how Gina’s father may haunt this home and how he looks, the reader went off again. I used my temperature gauge and the temperature was fluxuating from 74 to 64 degrees.”

Laura Miller: “I took a photograph of a possible full body apparition in the kitchen.” Note: I had all investigators look at the photo for their opinion and everyone agreed the photo was odd. Then I had all my investigators try to replicate the photo with their cameras. The photo is now being analyzed. “I took many photos in which orbs appeared. I felt a male entity in the living room and back bedroom. In the living room he felt carefree. In the bedroom he felt confused. I feel he had an air of machismo; there is a lot of sexual energy. I would say he was 5/8”, slender, Hispanic or Italian, dark piercing eyes, good looking. I tasted alcohol in which I associate with the male entity. He appeared to be 45. When I went into the bedroom, I felt an electrical charge from head to toe, my skin was crawling, it was intense and I had to leave the room.”

Tanya Curtis: “I got some orb pictures in the bedroom and hallway. EMF Reader and K2 Meter both went off at the same time. A sensitive was talking to the resident and they both went off at the same time. Valerie detected something over the pig knick knack and when I took a picture I got an orb instantly. At the Imax, I got some orb shots.”

Dave Hirshman: “I got some orb shots at the De La Rosa Residence and Imax. The equipment I brought was: EMF Reader, K2 Meter, Infrared laser thermometer, digital still and movie cameras, multiple flashlights, digital audio recorder.” Note: Dave is quite the character, he actually has a belt with multiple pockets in which he carries all of his ghosthunting equipment. It looks like a utility belt out of Batman, the movie! Talk about being prepared!

Christina George: “When I walked into De La Rosa residence, I felt sadness. The temperature would change in one of the bedrooms, from hot to cold. I didn’t feel anything at the Imax.”

John Shue: “At Imax I smelled roses, I felt dizzy and lightheaded.” At De La Rosa Residence I used my camcorder and I think I may have actually seen a full body apparition.”

David Mace: “ I will be reviewing my audio recorder. I may have heard whispers in the kitchen using my sound enhancer. I may have gotten an EVP in one of the bedrooms, it sounded like a loud sliding noise. I brought with me: DS 30 Olympus digital recorder with bose headphones, Canon Rebel XT digital camera and X2 and two different EMF Readers.”

Rita Reyes: “At the Imax, I felt lightheaded, I felt a heaviness in my chest, and I felt nauseated. When I went downstairs, I felt fine. At the De La Rosa Residence, I went into one room and briefly felt a headache and a heaviness in my chest. In the front yard, I felt warmth, even though it is a cold day. The warmth started from the bottom of my leg and went into the inner part of my leg.”

Chantal Apodaca: “At the Imax, I felt nothing at the first level. When I went into the office, I felt unbalanced; I felt vibrations where a vortex was. At times I felt like I was on a rocking boat. At the De La Rosa residence, I felt the presence of 2 entities. I felt the strong presence of a Hispanic man with mustache, dark hair and dark eyes. I also felt the presence of an elderly woman in a black flower dress. She appeared overweight and she appeared to enjoy cooking, making tortillas.”

Bryan Coleman: “I got some unusual spikes with my EMF Reader at the Imax.”

Valerie Rankin: “At the Imax, I felt nothing. At the De La Rosa residence, I picked up on Gina’s grandmother. I felt residual anger from her father. I also felt sexual energy from that resonated from her father. There appeared to be discord with Gina’s father and grandmother. I sensed some orb activity with my eyes.” Note: Valerie describes Gina’s father and grandmother and Gina says the descriptions are accurate. Laura and Chantal picked up similar descriptions.

Interesting Mentions:
a) Rob Hays detects my aura during my briefing and saw my aura change to a multitude of colors. He tells Christina B, this is very rare. Rob worked as a medic and saved a few lives, because he can see auras that give tell tale signs of dire circumstances.
b) Two vortexes are pin pointed at the Imax by Nancy Bradley – Celebrity Psychic at a previous Ghost Girls investigation. Wendy Russell points out where the vortexes are located and some scouts felt a feeling of swirling vertigo.
c) After I was leaving the Imax Parking Garage and paying my $10.00 to get out, a security guard sees my HPI sign on my car the Ghost Tracker. He stops me and tells me that the parking garage is haunted and that an entity once walked right through him.
d) During our tour of the Imax, we were able to pause and get a glimpse of the new release ‘Eagle Eye’. Yep, looks like a good movie, I am going to see it!

Disclaimer: As a reporter, I am reporting the comments of the scouts. What they feel or observed is not evidence that is supported by HPI or Ghost Girls. No confirmation can be obtained by psychic impressions.

FINDINGS: Psychic impressions that cannot be confirmed on a scientific level. Orb photographs that cannot be determined as paranormal. One possible EVP at the Imax, which sounds like a little boy saying ‘Panda’ acquired by scout John Shue. Further analysis is needed on this EVP.

CONCLUSION: Past investigations at both locations have confirmed there is haunting activity. On this night, the entities were not performing and additional evidence was not obtained.

I ended this evening by driving home to a new CD that Shannon made for me, that had songs like: Dancing in the Sheets - Shalamar, Caribbean Queen - Billy Ocean, Dancing on the Ceiling & All Night Long by Lionel Richie. Even though I was tired, those songs picked me up on the long road home. Thanks Shan!

Interview with Rita White - Publicist and President of Conscious Publicity

2009-10-10T08:06:24Z

In the picture, the guy on the left is Paul Dale Roberts, HPI General Manager www.hpiparanormal.net and President of www.jazmaonline.com - Paul takes a break from his touring hearse duties to interview the lovely Rita White.

Question: What is a publicist and what is it that they do?

A publicist is someone who communicates with the media on the behalf of someone else. We help our clients get publicity. That includes, talk shows, Internet TV, radio shows, magazines, newspaper interviews and anything that helps the client get seen. We might get contacted by a show requesting one of our psychics to appear on an episode and we'll gladly take care of the details. Conscious Publicity my company deals with actors, models and authors for the most part, but Conscious Publicity’s division “Spiritual Publicity is for our; psychics, mediums, shamans, healers and paranormal investigators." It is the front-running source for psychics in the press. When the industry needs an expert in the paranormal field, they eagerly turn to “Spiritual Publicity”. I guess in short our job is simply to make people as famous as we can.

Question: Why did you decide to help psychics? Most publicist don't have a lot of psychics on their roster.

I am a spiritual person, or at least I think I am. In my own quest for knowledge I have found many people looking for guidance and help. The people that do help are usually the ones who see beyond the normal. They can guide us by telling us what happens after we die, or help us communicate with a dead loved one or even give us a sneak peak into the future. It wasn't that long ago that talking about this sort of thing was taboo. Now the world is begging for information and I have a chance to be apart of that movement. When I get a psychic on a show, or when I connect a radio show with the Shaman, I know I am helping at least one person out there, one person who is looking for help.

Question: What song is your favorite and when people hear it, should be thinking of you?

Return To Innocents by Enigma

Question: What accomplishment in your life would you consider as your 'major accomplishment'? Please explain.
Many accomplishments come to mind, but the major one is making real lasting friends. When I need someone to have fun with there is a friend ready and willing to do something with me. When I am sad and need a friend there is one waiting to talk to me. I am a very lucky person, because of who I surround myself with.

Question: How are you involved in your clients TV shows?

We'll I talk with people from Animal Planet, A&E, Vh1, MTV and Sci Fi to name a few. I pitch them story ideas and introduce them to my clients and that get some of my clients on TV shows. Sometimes producers and casting directors contact us about a client and I take care of all the details. I am a go between to make my clients life easier.

Question: How did you meet your team of psychics?

Well, I met Belinda Bentley first. She was my original Celebrity Psychic. Being familiar with the psychic circuit she began to introduce me to psychics she knew and respected. After that the psychics began contacting us. We don't take every psychic who comes our way, we go with the ones who have a reputation for being nothing short of amazing, but also desire to help others and I mean truly help others. When people meet my psychic they know there is something genuine about them. That is why they are sought out by Hollywood.

Question: Are you psychic?
From what my psychics tell me everyone is, do I think I am...no! However I live vicariously through my clients stories and experiences.

Question: What are you trying to accomplish with your psychic team?

I look at each of my psychics as an individual. They each are unique and have a special gift. So I believe each one of them has their own purpose here. It is nice to know that you have a powerful clientele that will make the world a better place. My main goal with my clients is to help them reach as many people as possible.

Question: What projects do you have coming up in the future?
We are currently publicising a lot of projects. One of those project being a white knuckle thriller about the law of attraction, fate changing decisions and facing the past, “Outrage” was produced and directed by Ace Cruz. Starring the talented Michael Madsen (Sin City, Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs) and Natasha Lyonne (American Pie, Slums of Beverly Hills), this highly-acclaimed film also received additional accolades from the AOF with nominations for Best Villain, Best Visual Effects and Best Action Sequence.

Pauly D Entertainment, in conjunction with Spirit Films, LLC, announce that they have inked a contract with Phase 4 Films, Inc. to distribute their film, in both the United States and Canada. Honored earlier this summer at the 2009 Action on Film (AOF) International Film Festival in Pasadena, Calif., “Outrage” was named Best Sci-Fi Picture of the Year.

One of our touching projects is a film in which Catherine Black stars in titled "The Donner Party", formerly known as Forlorn. The movie is hitting the Austin Film Festival this October! Based on the real events of The Donner Party tragedy, The Donner Party was a group of California-bound American settlers caught up in the western expansion of the 1840s. After becoming snowbound in Sierra Nevada at what is now called Donner Pass during the winter of 1846-1847 they resorted to cannibalism until they were rescued. It is about what people will do to survive!

My client Larry Guli will be on Curb Your Enthusiasm on October 25, 2009. He also has a reoccurring role on the longest running Hollywood soap opera, General Hospital as Uncle Paulie the mobster.Before becoming an actor Larry began working at the New York Stock Exchange and it wasn’t long before he became a managing partner in one of the most prestigious specialist firms on the floor. He is still a day trader and gives day trading advice.
Larry also plays Senior Professional Golf in the Senior Series, the second major senior tour in the country and he uses his skills for children's charities when ever he can.

Those are just a few of our up coming projects. There are other projects we are working on and they are confidential right now. Keep an eye out for our psychics though!

Question: If there is something you have not accomplished, what would it be and why would you like to accomplish this feat?

Sky diving! I wish I could do it and maybe one day I will get brave enough. To be able to fly is nothing short of amazing and to get over a rational fear that you could be jumping to your death out of a plane at 30,000 feet would be a huge accomplishment. It would mean I was brave...or stupid. Either way, I'd like to do it. I don't like the feeling that fear is stopping me.

Question: What are your favorite movies, TV shows, cartoons?

CSI, 60 minutes, The Amazing Race, Unsolved Mysteries, and anything with psychics solving cases.

Question: What are your hobbies and recreational activities?
I enjoy cooking and gardening on my days off. Every now and then I check out a great movie like "The Proposal."

Question: What is your company called?

My company's name is Conscious Publicity.

Question: How can someone contact you?

SpiritualPublicity@gmail.com

Question: Do you have a website that we can visit?

www.consciouspublicity.com

Question: This ends your interview. Thank you so much. Any words of wisdom for your fans?

Yes, do what you love and love what you do. It has made decision making in my life so much easier. The reason I do the work I do is because I do what I love and the reason I get to do that, is because my client choose to do what they love too, then they bring me on board so that I can help them continue to do what they love. It is a beautiful working machine.

Mine Shaft Ghosts of Placerville

2009-03-08T23:09:07Z

Before I get into this article. I have great news! In 1996, I created and published a comic book called The Legendary Dark Silhouette. Howard Nash, Independent movie producer is creating the movie from my comic book. To see the first movie ad, you can click here:
www.tldsmovie.org

Now let's talk about that investigation!

To see pictures from the investigation, click here:
http://s459.photobucket.com/albums/qq319/HPI_International/MineshaftGhosts/

A phone call is received by HPI (Haunted and Paranormal Investigations International). The lady on the other line is Julie Lemos. Julie explains to me that there is a unit at her apartment that is having all kinds of paranormal activity. That activity is:
1. Shadow creature seen in the living room, by the sliding window.
2. A little boy apparition is seen at the foot of the bed.
3. Occupant is pulled away from the refrigerator by an unseen force.
4. A figure is seen looking into a bedroom, from the hallway.
5. In the second bedroom, a figure is seen sitting on the chair.

There is a lot of history in Placerville and there are many establishments that are reputed to be haunted. I learn that at one time there was a mine shaft at the location of the apartment complex. Mine shafts brought accidents, deaths and tragedy. This area may very well be haunted. It was time to get my team together. Paranormal Investigators present are: Chantal Apodaco, Kathy, David Mace (Lead Investigator), Jen S., Christina George, Amanda Gomez (Freelance Writer), Enrique Serrano, Andrew Godley, Rita Reyes, Mark Reyes, Karen Mace, Christie Mace, Connie Brenner, Lynn Combs, Audry Edwards. Note: Enrique Serrano & Andrew Godley represent their group: Sacramento Haunting Investigation.

Occupants and friends are: Tracy, Laura French, Daniel Barrett.

Equipment being used is: video cameras, EMF readers, temperature gauges, digital audio recorders, and digital cameras.

We had three sessions to investigate this residence. The 1st session, investigators are placed into teams and placed in various sections of the home. The 2nd session had everyone with recorders stay inside the home to get quiet time for EVPs, using the McCabe Method – quick and dirty way of picking up EVPs, checking recorder immediately to seek results. The third session would be a free for all, in which investigators can scout our areas on their own, which includes indoors and the outside perimeters.

After each session, there are brief meetings, in which we all go over the evidence for the occupant.

FINDINGS:
In the first bedroom, cold spots are felt, temperature gauge jumps wildly from 67 to 62 constantly. Hissing sound is heard during this time.

EMF Reader makes hits in the kitchen. Electrical outlets are checked to see if this could be causing the disturbance. No interference could be detected that would cause the EMF Reader to show spikes. The kitchen area is where the occupant is pulled away from the refrigerator.

Numerous cameras shut down. All cameras have fresh batteries. Cameras start working again mysteriously.

A couple of investigators felt touching. One investigator felt a circular movement on her hand, later she feels heaviness on her hand and tingles. Christina George feels a cold hand placed on her back.

EMF Readers detect a disturbance in the atmosphere around Laura (the occupant), wherever she goes. The reason for this disturbance is unknown, but needs to be looked at further.

Possible EVPs (Being checked for further analysis):
Two EVPs that sound like a male saying ‘yes’ and a EVP that sounds like screaming from a woman.

Many photographs show orb activity outside and inside. Some designer orbs that are taken by Christina George will be enhanced for further analysis. David Mace is unable to show intelligent movement of orbs with his video camera. Orb photographs are inconclusive.

CONCLUSION:
Inconclusive. EVPs need to be verified as authentic and not sounds of people talking in the next room. The possible EVPs would be the only evidence that we could substantiate a haunting at this location. A review of all evidence will be conducted and follow-up information about this investigation will be found in my future articles. From all indications, it appears that if there is a haunting at this home, it’s a Casper haunting. A Casper haunting means a friendly haunting, where there is no danger present for the occupant.

I have very ambitious investigators. David Mace, Karen & Christie Mace, Audry Edwards investigated the Gold Bug Mine before the residence investigation. The mine according to David originated in the 1800s and is connected to a network of other mines. During their preliminary investigation they did find any substantial evidence that this place is haunted.

Afterwards Chantal Apodaco, Enrique Serrano, Andrew Godley, Rita Reyes, Mark Reyes, Connie Brenner, Lynn Combs went back to Dyer Lane. Rita went to school with Bill Mullen who haunts Dyer Lane. Rita showed me her year book, in which Bill Mullen signs it. On this night Rita will try to make contact with Bill Mullen. The results were unsuccessful in contacting Bill Mullen, but Chantal makes possible contact with a deceased school mate named Angel Dixon who was brutally raped and murdered on Dyer Lane. Chantal asks Angel if she remembers her and a female’s voice says ‘yes’.

March 7, 2009, Saturday is the date of these investigations and on this day we also celebrated Rita Reye’s birthday. When Chantal, Mark, Jen S, Christina George, Rita showed up at my house at 5pm, I had a birthday cake waiting for Rita. Of course, we sang happy birthday to Rita. The camaraderie is strong within the ranks of HPI and we recognize the importance of our investigators and the special days that represent their lives. Happy birthday Rita!

The Haunting Activities of a South Sacramento Home

2009-11-15T12:20:18Z

Group Shot of HPI Paranormal Investigators.

To see pictures of this investigation, stop by here:
http://s886.photobucket.com/albums/ac67/PaulDaleRoberts_bucket/Sabrina/

The date is November 14, 2009, Saturday. Tonight my investigators will be investigating a home in South Sacramento. A home in which the previous owner died. How she died, it appears that no one knows, but it is rumored she died of natural causes or old age. This is a home that footsteps are heard in the hallway, an apparition has been seen walking past the bathroom. Let’s find out exactly what is going on in this home. Let me conduct my first interview with the occupant (Sabrina Jacquez). Sabrina says that she has seen an apparition walk past the bathroom; she has heard knockings on the windows and walls. The knockings will happen 40 minutes after any given hour. The next person I am interviewing is Chelsea (Sabrina’s daughter). Chelsea has experienced the following:

1. Knockings on the wall. 40 minutes after any given hour. Usually it is 4 knocks.
2. When Chelsea is getting ready, she feels like she is being watched, or she sees moving shadows from her peripheral vision.
3. Chelsea mentions something odd; she has heard strange knockings at her boyfriend’s (Juan Prieto's) house and has seen a full body apparition of a man at her boyfriend’s house. Could it be that the entity is following Chelsea from her house to her boyfriend’s house?

Let’s take a roll call. HPI Paranormal Investigators attending are: Kimberly Phillips; Crystal Seudder, Stefanie Belson, Leslie DeSoto, Shaun McMahon – Videographer, Michelle and Renee Fontana aka the Border Girls, Tania Gonzales, Tiffany Gonzales, Kathy and Tom, Diana Fisher II, QM, Lynn Combs and Connie Brenner of En-Vision Paranormal (E.V.P.). Lead Investigator: Paul Dale Roberts.

Equipment Used: Ghost Radar, EMF Readers, pendulum, digital audio recorders, camcorders, digital cameras, dowsing rods.

The first investigative session lasted for 40 minutes. First briefing, we discovered the following evidence: In one bedroom the EMF readers went off, and then cold spots were felt. Tom felt a chill that went all the way to his bones. In this same bedroom, the investigators received a Class A EVP of a small child saying: “ooh, ooh, ooh.” Past history of this bedroom: Sabrina’s son stays in this bedroom and claims to see a skeletal figure with red eyes.

Note: On each investigative session, the teams move into different rooms of the house.

During our briefing, I learn that St. Mary’s cemetery is very close to this residence. During the briefing Lynn Combs Ghost Radar reader picked up the name “Tom”. Of course, one of the investigators is named Tom. I also learn from Sabrina that this home was built in 1952.

2nd investigative session lasted for 30 minutes and here is what we got:
I took 4 pictures of the kitchen area in which the first picture shows a shadow on the ceiling, and then the 2nd picture has the same shadow with a designer orb on the left. 3rd picture shows the shadow overtaking the kitchen area. 4th picture is normal, with normal lighting from the flash. The shadow should have not manifested with my flash from my camera. Two EVPs were retrieved; one was a man’s voice that sounded like it was in the wind saying hello. The other EVP was an inaudible voice. We of course obtained a lot of orb photos and the psychics have felt wind blowing out of nowhere. Note: Psychics are used as a tool and we obtain evidence from what they may feel. The evidence would be photographic evidence or EVPs.

3rd investigative session, Shaun the videographer heard 4 knocks on the cabinets. He did not know the story about the knockings. Sabrina and I looked at the time when Shaun heard the knocks and it was 40 minutes after 10pm. Sabrina took many photos of the living room and obtained dark shadowy photos where you could not make out the furniture in the living room. Then finally everything was back to normal and her photos were clear, she used a flash at all times. At the fireplace there was a strong crackling noise, as if a log was burning. There was no log burning.

After the investigative session, we conducted a séance. During the séance, the following occurred:
1. The strings from the ceiling moved slightly, when we asked for a sign.
2. Shaun had battery failure on all of his equipment. He had new batteries in all of his equipment. The camcorder was plugged in, but it still shut down during the séance.
3. Vibration on couch is felt.
4. Moving cold spots are felt by investigators in the séance.
5. Inaudible whispers are heard during the séance.
6. Shadowy movements are seen.
7. Candle flickered wildly during questioning period.
8. We heard tapping and a few knocks.
9. We heard 4 taps at 40 after midnight.
10. One investigator saw a little red moving orb by the DVD case.

Disclaimer: Even though all these items happened during the séance, some are questionable as being true paranormal activity.

After the séance, the investigators were released and I conducted a Catholic blessing to cleanse the home. Shaun was outside and he said that during the blessing the street lights started flickering.
Now I must wait to see if my blessing was successful.

As I left this house and dropped off Shaun, I played a song that is Sabrina's favorite. A song that will haunt me every time I hear it, a song that will revitalize the memory of this investigation. That song is Confusion by New Order.

HPI Chronicles: 9/11 Investigation: DeGregorio Residence

2009-09-12T19:02:47Z

The days are even getting weirder. We just had 9/9/09, when is that going to happen again? We are now going through another anniversary of 9/11. A time to remember a devastating tragedy. Let us never forget. "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it." Please remember the lives lost on that tragic day 9/11/01. God bless their souls.

On this 9/11/09 we pay homage to the 9/11 victims and seek out our investigation this night. Our investigation is a private residence in Sacramento. The home owner is Cara DeGregorio.

We start this investigation by pumping up the music. We energize by listening to Kevin Rudolf - Let it Rock. To know this song, go here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh3gGQfyVyw

To see pictures of this investigation and the group shot, please stop by at this link:
http://s643.photobucket.com/albums/uu157/PaulDaleRoberts_2009/NineEleven/
The group shot are of the HPI Degregorio Task Force.

Activity reported:
Cara's boyfriend Paul hears audibly a man's voice: "The baby is crying", while he sits in the living room.
Cara's daughter sees a gray apparition of a girl. She is 5'11".
Cara picks up a religious painting and instantly feels a presence next to her and feels cold chills.

Investigators show up at the residence. Let's do a roll call - HPI Paranormal Investigators present are: Paul Dale Roberts - Lead Investigator; Kathy; Julie Lemos; Stephanie Belson; Chantal Apodaco; Renee Martine; Michelle Fontana & Renee Fontana aka the Border Girls; Noel Desilets.

FINDINGS:
Julie feels a dominant male presence and she feels nauseated. Nothing captured on video camera. No solid proof is found. Inconclusive.
Renee Fontana feels nauseated. Renee picks up on a male presence. Feels drawn to an urn containing ashes of Degregorio family member. No solid proof is found. Inconclusive.
All Investigators: Many photographs contain orb activity. Some pictures display exceptional designer orbs. I cannot determine if orbs have intelligent movement on our still shots. Video footage of orbs show no signs of intelligent movement, more video footage will be analyzed. Final result: Inconclusive.
Kathy: Feels chills in the bathroom. Inconclusive.
Noel: Gets a fuzzy feeling. Inconclusive.
Renee Martine: Feels cold spots. Inconclusive.
Stephanie: Batteries on her equipment were temporarily drained. Stephanie felt a presence in the bedroom. Final Assessment: Cannot find a reason for her new batteries to drain like that, could be a paranormal connection to the drainage. As for feeling a presence is inconclusive.
Michelle: Feels someone touching her hand. Inconclusive.
Chantal and Michelle both witness the feeling of cold spots in back bedroom, they saw flickers of lights floating around in bathroom area and around the bedroom walls. Both saw a 'buttocks' impression on the bed, as if someone was sitting next to them on the bed. Final assessment: Since there are two witnesses claiming the same thing, I hold substance to their claim.
EVP: One possible EVP. But, since the EVP was captured from outside, it could have been noises coming from a neighbor's home. The EVP was inaudible, sounded like a man's whispering.
The sensitives of this group were picking up on a dominant Hispanic male presence with the name of Ernesto or Eduardo. Final assessment: Inconclusive.

FINDINGS:
I believe there is something unusual going at this home. Our investigation was cut short and a thorough investigation could not be conducted. Further investigation of this home is warranted. I hold substance to the fact that two investigators witnessed the light movement and the buttock impression on the bed.

After this investigation, we did a HPI convoy to the Ryde Hotel, the haunted town of Walnut Grove and Locke. There was a lot of orb activity from our still shots and video footage. See my previous articles on the Ryde Hotel, Walnut Grove and Locke.

After the investigation, Chantal Apodoca and Julie Lemos followed me home to analyze some of the evidence. Working late into the night brought on a few hunger pains. I had to cook up a massive cheese omelets for Chantal and Julie and supply them with either Cokes or Brandy & Cokes. While listening to recordings and analyzing photographs we played movies in the background, but kept the volume down. The movies playing were: Crank2 High Voltage and The Thirst. If you love vampire movies I recommend The Thirst. As for Crank2, the sequel is ridiculous. Really ridiculous. This Sunday, I wake up hearing Chantal talking about last night's investigation to my roommate Shelley Harris. I must say, my investigators truly have enthusiasm as my roommate sat there in awe listening to Chantal's investigative tale.

The only thing I can say to my investigators: Let it Rock!

I got this interesting story about an OBE read below:

"That reminds me of the only time I had an OBE - I was 12, we lived in Phoenix AZ - I got terribly over heated, had a seizure and floated up to the corner of the room and watched myself curled up on the floor having convulsions. I watched my teen-aged sister and her girlfriend pour a glass of water from the sink and as soon as she touched me *wham* it was over and I was back in my body. I didn't know it was a typical text book example of an OBE until I was about 17, when I read about such things in a book...since then I've learned I've got a faulty internal thermostat, as long as I don't get too hot past a certain point I'm fine. I love hot weather too! ........................................................

The Ming Chan Story: A UFO Abduction, A Night Never Forgotten

2009-02-22T08:41:31Z

Before I get into this story, please check out David Mace's Dyer Lane video that he created for our last scouting mission. Link below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrnK9JUvUBw

I received a call from Ming, who is very fascinated with my UFO articles. She explains to me over the phone, that she has a very interesting UFO story. A story about a UFO abduction. An abduction that she witnessed. An abduction that haunts her. An abduction in which she was not taken, but her girlfriend Li Zhao (not her real name) was taken in the fields of China.

Ming caught my interest and I agreed to meet her at a location in Davis. Ming explains to me that in May of 1999, she was outside of Wulumuqi with her girlfriend Li Zhao.

As Li and Ming were walking through some open fields, they noticed that the Cumulus clouds seem to open up. From the Cumulus clouds a very bright disc descended upon them. Both Li & Ming collapsed as the disc came closer. In a few minutes Ming awakened and she found herself alone in the field. Li was no where to be found.

As I was sipping my white chocolate café mocha, I almost dropped it into my lap. I asked Ming, is there anyway I could talk to Li. Ming said that she would call her, but I must leave her name out of my article. I agreed. Ming on her cell phone dials up Li. This is my telephonic conversation with Li.

Paul: Hi Li, I am sitting here with Ming and she tells me that you were possibly abducted, is this true?

Li: Paul, please keep my name out of the article, okay?

Paul: I promise, can you explain to me what happened?

Li: In a series of dreams, I remember being taken aboard a strange craft. Around me were light bluish colored creatures with dark black oval eyes. The dreams have stopped and I know exactly what happened to me.

Paul: What happened?

Li: I was shown a series of light images that would appear in the air, inside the ship. I saw chaos and destruction. The light images seemed to display an impact from some kind of meteorite or maybe a comet. There were high waters covering cities, there were buildings collapsing, fires everywhere. The largest alien pointed to the light images and wanted me to focus on the images.

Paul: Do you believe that your abductors were trying to show you the end of the world?

Li: I don’t know if it was the end of the world, but I could see people running in the street. Everyone looked scared. After they showed me the light images, I was taken back into a room filled with lights. As my eyes became focused I could see the tall alien with oval eyes talking with two men dressed in black, with black caps on. There was some sort of insigna on their uniforms, but I could not make out the writing or drawing.

Paul: Did the men in black look human?

Li: Yes, they look American, one had olive complexion, the other was white.

Paul: Could you hear what they were talking about?

Li: No, but one of the men in black looked at me with piercing eyes, he was not smiling. When he looked at me, I felt nauseated. I think I fainted. When I opened my eyes, I was back in the field again with Ming. Ming looked like she was passed out in the field. She was laying there asleep.

Paul: Ming…how is it that you were out again?

Sunny: I actually passed out once when Li was taken and passed out again. When I awoke, Li was back.

Paul: Ming, do you have any strange dreams?

Ming: No.

Paul: Li, was Ming on the craft too?

Li: I do not remember seeing Ming on the craft.

Paul: Why would they take you and not Ming?

Li: I have no idea, but I was once told by my mother that she had seen 3 UFOs in her lifetime. Maybe they have been visiting my mother and now they visit me. I really can’t say.

Paul: Is there anything more you wish to say Li?

Li: No, I just wanted to put my story out there. Thank you for your time.

Paul: Not a problem, it was a pleasure talking with you.

Cell phone disconnected. Interview ended.

Special Note: When I interviewed Ming, she was going to allow me to use her real name for the article, giving credibility and substance to this article. At the last moment Ming called me and asked for me not to use her real name, nor can I display her picture with this article. Ming Chan is a fictional name.

HPI Chronicles: The Mongolian Death Worm

2009-02-06T09:31:19Z

Now the readers of this article are probably going......."huh? What's this?" Paul is now writing about Mongolia, which is pretty darn far from Sacramento! Well, the answer is yes and no. I met a guy from Sacramento that has this incredible story to tell and I met him at Harlow's which is......well, in Sacramento! After reading the article, there is a cool link to a video created by David Mace of Sacramento of Dyer Lane and there is a link to the Dusty Home Investigation and guess what.......that is also in Sacramento. So, there is great stuff about Sacramento in my articles, you just got to know where to look for it. Now, let's just hope that no one brings over a Mongolian Death Worm and releases them in Sacramento...that's all we need. Now to the story below:

Paul has a flashback. Based on a true story: July 1975. Two unmarked CID (US Army - Criminal Investigation Division - DST - Drug Suppression Team) vehicles are parked outside of Army barracks outside Crailsheim, Germany. In the two unmarked CID police cars are two undercover agents on a stakeout. They are waiting for a drug deal to transpire in front of the barracks. An undercover informant is supposed to buy LSD from a US soldier (drug dealer). From in between the parked undercover cars, pops up a head. The head is identified as Porkchops aka Paul Dale Roberts, undercover narcotics agent for CID. One of the agents in the undercover car is startled and is talking on his walkie talkie with another agent, he exclaims: "What the? It's Porkchops, he appeared out of nowhere and is between our two parked vehicles. He scared the crap out of me..he's a freakin' spook that appears and disappears, quit scaring the crap out of me Porkchops! What do you have?" I tell the agent that the perpetrator is bringing three sheets of LSD for the informant to purchase, and to be prepared for the take down! I also describe the perp, my words to the agent: "The perp is wearing black sneakers, bluejeans and a Jimi Hendrix t-shirt." As we watch with binoculars, the transaction is going down and there are 3 perps involved with the transaction. An agent that is posted in a tree......yes, this agent is sitting on a limb of a tree and accidentally falls out of the tree. The perps see the agent fall and start fleeing the scene. They run down a hillside and Tiny (a big narcotics agent) pretends he is chasing them with dogs. Tiny yells to bring out the dogs and starts barking like a dog. The perps think that actual dogs are chasing them and stop in their tracks. I tackle one of the perps and Tiny tackles the other two. All three are in possession of LSD sheets and one of the perps is holding onto 3 tin foil wrapped blonde Lebanese hash. This is a good bust. As they are driven away, I walk alone into the street night preparing for my next bust. My next bust, I must portray myself as a real pimp and two of the women that will be with me are posing as my prostitutes, when in reality they are undercover narcotics agents. We will be going after a former soldier who is now a civilian in Munich. His line of work is pimping and selling and transporting narcotics. The heroin that he recently sold to 3 soldiers was cut with cyanide and those 3 soldiers overdosed and died. The drug wars will never end.

As you can see from this story, it was this kind of action, that pumped up my adrenaline. I sought out action and adventure and being an undercover narcotics agent in the Army gave me the excitement that I sought out. That is probably why I am now a paranormal investigator. I seek out the thrills and adventure. Instead of busting perps...I bust ghosts...well, I seek out the truth and I look for evidence that ghosts exist. Besides ghosts, I also cover all paranormal subjects, from UFOs to Bigfoot and more. When I say more, I got a call from a Russell Trujan who makes claim that he met a woman in Mongolia through the Internet.

I met up with Russell at Harlow's in downtown Sacramento. Russell has an interesting story to tell. He fell in love with a Mongolian girl and has plans to marry her. The woman he plans to marry claims her father Ilhan was traveling through the Gobi Desert and came upon a Mongolian Death Worm. The Mongolian Death Worm was bright red and 8 feet in length. As Ilhan was watching the Mongolian Death Worm, it slithered close to a black-tailed Gazelle. He could not actually see the method of kill, but the Gazelle started convulsing wildly.

The Mongolian Death Worm spewed out a liquid from it's mouth and the skin of the Gazelle appeared to turn yellow and bubble. Ilhan was shocked to watch the Mongolian Death Worm digest the Gazelle, it appeared that the Gazelle was melting and the Worm was drinking the melted flesh of the Gazelle.

When the Mongolian Death Worm finished with its meal, it slithered away and disappeared into a huge pile of rocks. Ilhan took a closer look at the devoured carcass and was surprised that the Gazelle was completely consumed, leaving only bones and a yellow foamy substance on the bones.

Russell asked me do I ever plan to visit Mongolia and take on the challenge of seeking out the Mongolian Death Worm. My answer is 'yes'. Mongolia is on my list of places I want to visit. Russell asks me if I have ever been to Asia and again my answer is 'yes'. I have been to China, Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea, North Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Burma. Russell is curious on how I got into North Korea. I told him it was simple, I merely walked around the Conference Table at the 38th Parallel. When you are on the other side of the Conference Table you are in North Korean territory. Russell laughed.

As you can see, there are many strange things in our world and our universe. Many things to explore. My list grows large of areas of this world I want to explore and investigate. I now have added the Mongolian Death Worm to my list of Cyptids I would like to confirm as either imaginary or the truth.

An HPI Paranormal Investigator named David Mace created this video of Dyer Lane. Dyer Lane is an urban legend here in Sacramento County. Tales of murder and mayhem, tales of a ghostly police car that travels along the road and vanishes into the field. Here is the video, enjoy:

Slapper: The Phantom of Akalai Flats/La Valentina

2009-06-19T04:19:58Z

Cathy Orange meets me at a very unusual spot. She tells me to meet her at Safeway, she has a story for me, plus she has to get her grocery shopping done.

I follow Cathy Orange down the aisles, as she selects coffee, cheeses, variety of meats, bread, cucumbers, cereals and everything else that she can fit into her basket.

She tells me that she was waiting for the light rail at 9pm on 12th Street between D and E Streets in Sacramento. This is known as Akalai Flats/La Valentina.

While waiting, she was slapped in the face by an unknown force. She was startled from this experience. She tells me that this area of the light rail station is haunted. Now this is the 2nd time, I have heard a light rail station is haunted. The first haunting is at the Meadowview Station, in which I mention in a previous article and now this particular stop for the light rail. Cathy tells me she will never again wait for the light rail at this station. She will not even go there and wait during the daytime. Her friend Michelle Banta claims she was once pushed at the same area.

Shannon 'Ms. Macabre' McCabe and I checked out the area a couple of nights ago and we may have gotten a muffled EVP of a man, but it is too hard to determine as there are many faraway voices in the night that we may have picked up on. So our EVP evidence is inconclusive.

I placed my top researcher on the case. David Mace with 18 years of law enforcement under his belt and one of my best lead investigators discovered the following information:

Suspect #1 Most Likely the Slapper:
Man shot dead in Alkali Flat.
A 39-year-old man was found shot and killed early Sunday near the Alkali Flat light-rail train station on 12th Street between D and E streets in downtown Sacramento. Fredrick Karl Johnson was found shot in the chest about 2:30 a.m. Witnesses heard gunshots in the area, but no one saw the shooting, according to Sacramento police.

Suspect #2:
In the area, it is claimed that the spirit of a 12-year old girl haunts Miriam Gray's home. People have experienced unsettling dreams, soothing amber lights. Missing household items, objects skittering off tables. For 115 years, the sighs of May Woolsey have possessed this E Street Victorian like a pastel shadow, or a scented draft.

Suspect #3:
May H. Woolsey of Akalai Flats: b. 1866. d. 1879. May H. Woolsey died of encephalitis. Tour visitors have confirmed that her presence can still be felt, literally by placing ones hand near her grave stone. May Woolsey was a 12 year old girl who lived in Sacramento during the 1870's in the district known as Alkali Flat. Found in 1979 when a new owner was remodeling the house and came across a hatch cut into the second floor stair landing. The trunk had been placed in a cavity from a false ceiling in a closet below. When opened the trunk contained a fascinating chronicle of life in early Sacramento as seen through the childhood mementos of May Woolsey. Packed in the trunk were trinkets and playthings typical of most 12-year-old girls of the late 1870's. Residents of Akalai Flats at times feel her presence in the neighborhood.

Suspect #4: Virgie Hicks, 56, was fun loving, but tough on bail jumping felons. She was a colorful Sacramento bail agent and member of Vietnam Veterans Memorial Watch Association who was reared in Alkali Flat. Friends said the cause was complications stemming from diabetes and cancer. She was 56. A fun-loving woman, she was as warm and compassionate with friends and family members as she was tough with felons who skipped out on bail.

Suspect #5: Tony Delgado, decorated veteran who helped many. Tony Delgado lived a quiet life as a chef at various Sacramento hotels, but that quiet life touched many. He was a native of Mexico, who moved to Sacramento when he was 5, was father of nine, foster father to 37, an always ready volunteer and a decorated veteran of World War II and the Korean conflict. He died Sunday after a long, excruciating battle with cancer, said his wife, Charlotte. He was 70. When he returned to the United States after being shot down over Korea and being held as a prisoner of war, Delgado lived in the Alkali Flat neighborhood not far from where he grew up.

Suspect #6: Jennie Rios Baca, tireless advocate for Latino rights, she died at the age of 71. She died at her midtown home after a yearlong fight with vulvae cancer, said her daughter, Veronica Baca. For more than three decades, Mrs. Baca was a beloved volunteer who reached out to children in Alkali Flat and other Sacramento barrios.

David Mace came up with some other suspects, but my hunch is that the Slapper is actually the ghost of Frederick Karl Johnson. Why would the ghost of Frederick Karl Johnson slap Cathy Orange and push Michelle Banta? Perhaps he is trying to warn them that the area where they are waiting for the light rail is a dangerous area. This is the area in which he was killed. This particular stop is somewhat dangerous late at night and if the Slapper slapped me as a wake up call that this area is dangerous, I think I may just get the message.

We are still working on this case, if anything more develops, you the reader will know. But, remember if you are a tourist here in Sacramento and you do want to use our light rail system, then go ahead and enjoy. But, beware; if the sun is down and you are waiting for the light rail at Akalai Flats/La Valentina...you may just get slapped!

Interview with Tiffany Allen, Manager of Front Street Tattoo

2010-01-13T06:11:27Z

Interviewed by Paul Dale Roberts, President www.jazmaonline.com
General Manager www.hpiparanormal.net

Question: Tell us something about yourself, your personal life, recreational activities and hobbies.

Answer: I have been working in the tattoo industry for almost ten years. I started as a shop girl at Aces tattoo in Reno, NV and soon was asked to manage the shop because of my ingenious business sense. (Giggle) I stayed with that shop for over 3 years during which we grew from a tiny street shop to the primary custom shop in Reno. Having the combination of both powerhouse ass kicking rock’n roll street shop and the privilege to work with amazing artists such as Kevin Cox, Lee Hanna, Jason Freeman and a long list of rock star tattooists that regularly guest spotted at our shop, I would say I was hooked. A long time fan of the art of tattoos and the rich history has always kept me close to the community I consider my second family. When I left the shop as my full time job I continued to promote and work with them in hosting the Lady Luck tattoo convention annually, and traveling continuously with various artists working conventions.
During all of this I’ve raised 3 beautiful daughters who take up any free time I have outside of work.

To see more pictures of Tiffany, stop by here:
http://s643.photobucket.com/albums/uu157/PaulDaleRoberts_2009/Tiffany
Allen/

Question: When did get your first tattoo?

Answer: 17 @ some scratcher’s house, I think I paid $40 so he could score some weed. Yes that is now a large cover up!

Question: What made you gravitate towards getting a tattoo?

Answer: I actually started getting tattooed before it was cool or hip, and being a woman, I had my fair share of criticism over the years. I think back then tattoos were still rebellious and I was one of those punk kids.

Question: Do your tattoos have meanings?

Answer: They mean I can’t easily go back into the mainstream workforce? Lol. Each tattoo represents a time in my life and may have a witty story, but for the most part I actually pursue the artists individually and am such a fan of their artwork. I give them all liberties. At most I may suggest an idea and let them draw it up to their preference.

Question: How did you get your job as the manager of Front Street Tattoo?

Answer: I was looking for a guest spot for my dear friend the infamous “Grady Spades” to come pay a visit on the west coast and all of the custom shops I am friends with in downtown were full (meaning nobody has an open chair for tattooing) So I thought I would walk through the tourist area of old sac and check out what the shops were like. I stumbled on Front Street and immediately loved the old Victorian building. Mark Mathews a local fighting favorite in the UFC world and dedicated tattooer at the shop gave me a tour. To be honest I kind of ripped some of the set up of the shop to shreds and started giving him suggestions when the owner came in and Mark told him he should hire me. I’ve been revamping and remodeling the shop ever since in hopes to make it a stronghold in the community by the end of this summer.

Question: Do people feel that tattoos give them a warrior status or some other kind of status? What are the various reasons people get tattoos.

Answer: Yes! But there are thousands of reasons people get tattooed in today’s society, from memorials of people whom have passed to personal accomplishments, all the way to the gods honest truth of “Tattoo’s make you look cool!” giggle.

Question: You said something about respecting the business and that some people don’t have that respect. Can you elaborate?

Answer: Many years ago the boys wanted me to apprentice but I wasn’t one of those art kids who had spent my life drawing, (Don’t let the tattoos fool you, most these guys are just art geeks) I have an immense respect for the industry and the skill of the people who brought me into it. I honestly love working with and being surrounded by passionate artists, but I don’t have the talent they do and didn’t want to be just another second rate tattooer. Unfortunately in recent years the internet and lack of respect for the genuine skill it takes to put a beautiful PERMANENT mark on someone has lead to an abundance of low quality tattoo shops, lack of common knowledge by the public of what a good tattoo looks like, and sadly a saturated market where even the best in the industry are struggling financially. Kids have asked me for years how to get an apprenticeship and I always start with go to art school, then get in a shop who expects you to work 2 years on the floor before touching anyone’s skin. Tattoos are forever, and if it’s not done right the first time it can be twice as much work and at least twice as much money to fix. It just amazes me people don’t respect the old school ways. I wouldn’t go to a plastic surgeon that taught himself at home, why anyone would think learning to tattoo that way is ok. I can rant for hours about industry standards, laws, suppliers selling to the public, but it just comes down to respect. If everyone in the industry stopped making it so easy for every Joe schmo to call themselves a “Tattoo Artist”, less apprenticing, etc. and if the public would do the research and learn to spot bad line work, week color, or just plain bad artistic skill instead of going for the lowest price.. the industry would be a better place. Remember folks: “ GOOD TATTOOS AREN’T CHEAP, And CHEAP TATTOOS AREN’T GOOD.

Question: Who is your favorite Tattoo Artist?

Answer: Chris Conn who ended up working at Aces after I left, yet I never had taken the time to get tattooed by and is currently retired….(sounds of heart breaking in background)

Question: If I wanted a big fat dragon tattooed on my back, how much would that cost?

Answer: Think of your back is a huge canvas and goes big. I would tell you to do research and find an artist you love then get a quote from them. Being right next to San Francisco you have the opportunities to get tattooed by some of the most famous tattoo artist in the world. I would probably tell you to start at Black Heart Tattoo in SF. Every one of the artists there are incredible. Usually there’s not more than about a $50 dollar an hour difference between the kid down the street vs. having a piece that you will impress people with for the rest of your life!

Paul: I know where I can get my tattoos for free Tiffany.

Tiffany: Where?

Paul: San Quentin Prison (smile).

Tiffany: …..Oh Paul…NOTHING IS FREE IN PRISON!

Paul: Yikes! I hear ya Tiffany…okay, let’s move on to the final questions.

Question: Thank you for this interview Tiffany. Before you go, do you have a website for your shop, how can someone contact you? What is your favorite song? And, before you go, what kind of movies, TV shows and books do you like….just curious. Again, thank you.

Answer: FrontStreetTatttoo.Net or Myspace.com/FrontStreetTattooShop
And I am of course Ms.Tiffany on myspace.com/tiffany666rpm
Love letters and Hate mail can be sent via email at: tiffanysgig@gmail.com

My favorite song is Bad Reputation by Joan Jett
I love horror movies and anything that makes me laugh, this week my favorite is “the Hangover” mostly because it reminds me of what I remember of my 20’s…... and as far as television I’ve never been much of a fan, but have to admit a guilty pleasure and say I can’t get enough of FX’s Sons of Anarchy. Thanks for thinking my babble is worthy of print, it has been a pleasure chatting with you.
Cheers- Ms.Tiffany

On the Trail of Gnomes!

2008-12-23T22:55:33Z

On the Trail of Gnomes.
By Paul Dale Roberts, HPI General Manager/Gnome Sleuth

Email came in and the subject line caught my attention. Subject line of email: I was brain scanned by a gnome! Mark from Dearborn County, Indiana writes: “Since I was 3 years old, I have been subjected to alien abductions. I am now 28 years old and have been abducted 12 times. Usually I have Grays who walk through my bedroom walls, some Grays will sit on my bed. There was a time, when I woke up and I saw a Gray sitting at the edge of my bed. I closed my eyes for a second, hoping for the Gray to go away and when I opened my eyes; the Gray’s face was right in my face. When I am abducted, I feel like I am in a catatonic state. I am aware of what they are doing to me, but I am helpless to act out against them. I am floated to their ship, where they perform medical experiments on me. Sometimes the Grays are lead by what is called a Praying Mantis type of alien. The Praying Mantis alien seems to give them orders. My last abduction I was quite shocked when the Grays brought out this Gnome looking creature with a pointed hat. He had to be no more than 2 feet tall. As I was lying on this metallic slab, he was raised to my head level. I swear he had an evil looking grin and had the face of an old man. He placed his fingers in my temple areas and I felt my thoughts and everything of my past life being extracted from my mind. I feel my whole life as I saw it, felt it or thought it, was taken from my mind by this Gnome. Later the Gnome showed me a holographic image of me playing with a rabbit. I could see my hands petting the rabbit, but I could not see my face or body, it was as if I was looking out of my own eyes at a young age. I remember the rabbit distinctly. I was 8 years old at the time. The Gnome took out images from my mind, as I saw them with my eyes. Paul, I really feel like I am losing my mind and I don’t know what to do. I feel like I have an implant behind my neck, near my spinal column. There was even a time, when one of the Grays stuck a needle in my eye…my god, it was painful and there was nothing I could do about it……………………(email continues on – some aspects of the email is private. Some words have been changed to make it more readable).

I talked with Mark over the cell phone and we came to the conclusion, that he should volunteer for a therapy group session with other people that share his experiences and he has decided on seeing a hypnotist. I wish Mark the best of luck.

If what Mark is saying is true, these elemental creatures with conical hats are in league with the Grays. I have always suspected gnomes, fairies; elves are aliens of some sort. When I head out to Aruba and Argentina in January, I will be interviewing people in Argentina in regard to recent cattle mutilations and the sightings of gnomes in their country. Are the gnomes involved with the cattle mutilations? It will be interesting to see what I find out from my interviews.

In Argentina, gnomes are called ‘duendes’. From a March 2008 cell phone video, it appears that gnomes do indeed wear pointy hats. From the video it also appears that they have a crab like walk. The kids, who took this video, had heard someone throwing stones at them and they were quite surprised to capture a sideway walking gnome on their cell phone video! They ran away screaming.

Gnomes have several names. The Germans call them Erdmanleins and in the Alpine areas, they are known as Heinzemannchens. Denmark and Norway call them Nisse. Brittany calls them Nains. Gnomes have many names in various countries, but a gnome is a gnome. They can appear creepy like the Argentina creepy gnome or appear as observers, watching what we do, but not intervening, such as Forest Gnomes that are known to avoid man. They are sometimes known to act mischievous and will not hesitate in playing practical jokes.

There are many varieties of gnomes, from a garden gnome to a forest gnome to a dune gnome to a house gnome to a farm gnome to a Siberian gnome. It is interesting that Siberian gnomes are known to associate with trolls. Are trolls perhaps the Grays or maybe they are the blue aliens that Whitley Strieber describes in his book Communion?

It is thought that gnomes originated in Scandinavia and then migrated into other lowland areas. Gnomes have been sighted in Europe, but now seem to be sighted more in Argentina. If gnomes are elemental, then perhaps that means they are interdimensional. If they originated in Scandinavia that may only mean their first base of operations started in Scandinavia and now through a galactic treaty with the Grays, they are able to explore in places like Argentina or a place like Dearborn County, Indiana.

If legends of gnomes have any truth to them, they are supposed to be 7 times stronger than man. They are able to run 35 mph and have the eyesight of a hawk. At times they are known to help animals, the one kind thing they might do, besides doing something horrendous like extracting information from your mind, as Mark claims.

If I encounter a gnome in Argentina, I promise I will not scream and run away, I will run up to the gnome and try and snatch him up and bag him. I just hope his strength doesn’t knock me out of my shoes! If I capture him I will place him in a cryogenics lab for further analysis. I know, wishful thinking.

I can only wonder why a gnome would want information from a human being’s mind? Most likely they want to see what we experience, how we react to certain encounters in every day life and how we live. This gnome that met up with Mark may look hideous, but he may be an important alien scientist from a world of gnomes. I can only guess. What a strange universe we live in.

Wicca and Witchapalooza! By Paul Dale Roberts

Did you ever wonder how much of Wicca can be traced to the Celts? Wicca is a religion based on ancient northern European Pagan beliefs in a fertility Goddess and her consort a horned God. The religion is a modern creation and some of its sources pre-date the Christian era by many centuries. Most Wiccans do not believe that their religion is a direct continuous descendent of this earlier religion. They see it as a modern reconstruction.

This is what Joanna Hautin-Mayer says: "We know tragically little about the actual religious expressions of the ancient Celts. We have a few myths and legends, but very little archeological evidence to support our theories. We have no written records of their actual forms of worship, and the accounts of their culture and beliefs written by their contemporaries are often highly biased and of questionable historical worth."

This is what Silver RavenWolf in 1998 relates about the Wicca culture: "Wicca, as you practice the religion today, is a new religion, barely fifty years old. The techniques you use at present are not entirely what your elders practiced even thirty years ago. Of course, threads of 'what was' weave through the tapestry of 'what is now.' ...in no way can we replicate to perfection the precise circumstances of environment, society, culture, religion and magick a hundred years ago, or a thousand. Why would we want to? The idea is to go forward with the knowledge of the past, tempered by the tools of our own age."

Writings that formed the basic foundation of Wicca are as follows:

Charles Leland (1824-1903) published a book in 1899: Aradia: Gospel of the Witches. 8 Leland was the founder of the Gypsy Lore Society, editor of the Philadelphia Bulletin, and a prolific author and folklorist. Aradia deals mainly with the Goddess Diana. It is presented as an ancient document which recorded the doctrines of La Vecchia Religione (The Old Religion) -- Italian witchcraft. Leland claims to have received the information from an Italian strega (sorceress) named Maddalena. How much of this is a valid account of La Vecchia Religione is anyone's guess. However, the book played a significant role in the later development of modern-day Neopaganism.
Margaret Murray (1863 - 1963) authored The Witch Cult in Western Europe and The God of the Witches. 6 These books promoted the concept that some of the Witches who were exterminated by Roman Catholics and Protestants during the "Burning Times" (circa 1450-1792) were remnants of an earlier, organized, and dominant pre-Christian religion in Europe. Her writings have not been well received by anthropologists. However, they were very influential in providing background material for the Neopagan traditions.
Gerald Gardner (1884 - 1964), a British civil servant, who: has written that he joined an existing Wiccan Coven in 1939, taking the (then) usual vows of secrecy
persuaded the coven to let him write a book in 1949 about Wicca in the form of a novel, High Magic's Aid. He carefully revealed a few of the Old Religion's beliefs and the historical persecutions that they endured.
added many rituals, symbols, concepts and elements from ceremonial magick, Freemasonry and other sources to "flesh out" the coven's beliefs and practices, most of which had been long forgotten.
wrote Witchcraft Today in 1954 in which he described additional details about the faith.
wrote The Meaning of Witchcraft which described in detail the history of Wicca in Northern Europe.

As you can see, there is a lot to learn about the Wicca culture and religion, so now that I have been to Witchapalooza, I have met several witches that are willing to be interviewed. Follow my path down the Wicca subculture and learn with me, how the Wicca culture works. See you soon! Below is information of various HPI events and HPI Going Ons!

HPI Meeting at Swabbies Bar & Grill
October 4, 2009, Sunday: Shannon 'Ms. Macabre' McCabe, Chantal Apodoca, Natalie Black and I, needed to have a quick meeting about the upcoming HPI Vampire Halloween Ball, so we all decided to meet at Swabbies, along the Sacramento River. We discussed our upcoming plans over 2 pitchers of beer. The band that was playing was called Atomic Kings. The lead singer Vinnie Pantallioni announced the Vampire Ball to the crowd. Shannon, Chantal and I, passed around promotional business cards for the Ball and the Macabre Hearse Tours. The Atomic Kings www.myspace.com/atomickings are really good and played versatile music such as Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash; Born on the Bayou - Credence Clearwater Revival; Back in the USSR by the Beatles; Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon and Lips like Sugar by Echo & the Bunnymen. Atomic Breeze are former members of the 80s rock band called Steel Breeze. Steel Breeze sang the song "You Don't Want Me Anymore". While the band sang Lips like Sugar, Shannon was busy dancing with a 72 year old man. I was busy talking with Andrea Denny about her paranormal stories in Fresno. Anyway, the meeting went well and if you want to see pictures from the meeting, go to:

10/11/09: Went back to Witchapalooza! Day started off good, one of the ladies that put this on named Francine Ures had a cool witch costume and I stepped on her dress and ripped it. Sorry Francine. Then I interviewed Malcolm McDowell, Actor and accidentally called him Roddy McDowell, that was embarrassing. Later Shannon McCabe and I interviewed the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer – Kristy Swanson, both interviews were smooth, except for the flub I did with Malcolm.

Interview with Malcolm McDowell by Paul Dale Roberts:
Malcolm and I talked about Clockwork Orange being a classic movie and that one day there will be a sequel. We discussed the greatness of Kubrick. Malcolm talked about how he prepares for a role and studies scripts. He talked about how he played a Russian serial killer/pedophile and how he didn’t like this role, because of the extreme negativity of the character. He tells me that he manages to shake off the character before reaching home. He says it is good to keep an open mind and never make any concrete choices when selecting a role. After the interview, I shook hands with Malcolm and I was glad he did not chase me away after I called him Roddy.

Interview with Kristy Swanson by Shannon McCabe/Paul Dale Roberts:
We asked Kristy how she liked playing the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer, she loved it. She also loves being part of history with this icon character that will live on forever in comic books, TV and movies. She talks about her upcoming movie “What if” with Kevin Sorbo. It will come out in February. Carol Gillis, our 3000 year old vampire wanted to know how she liked working with Rudger Hauer – The Vampire King. Kristy loved working with Rudger and thinks he is a talented actor. Kristy has a lot of fond memories of the Buffy movie and didn’t know who Edward Cullen of Twilight was when I asked her if she would stake Edward. She responded: ‘who is that?” Kristy says she believes in ghosts and vampires. Her favorite horror movie is Jaws. Kristy tells us that when she had an apartment in Hollywood, the house alarm would be shut off, but for some reason it would go off by itself. She would wake up to strange noises in the apartment and her hairdresser moved by it self. Kristy was fun to interview and afterwards Shan and I took a picture with her.

The Dire Circumstances of Dyer Lane: Urban Legend or Truth

2009-01-23T01:10:55Z

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 normalcy of my life fades, because this Sunday night I was doing a paranormal investigation at Dyer Lane in Elverta, California with H.P.I. (Haunted and Paranormal Investigations of Northern California). My friend from Stockton left Sunday afternoon and I started getting things ready for this investigation. Hmmm...I guess it's pretty simple, all I need is my digital camera, pen and notepad. The tools of the trade for a ghost writer. Since, I got ready so quickly, I decided to prepare for this ghost hunt by reading a good paranormal comic book, which is called O.C.T. (Occult Crimes Task force) #4 by Image. Since I started freelance writing, by reviewing comic books, many comic books have used my quotes. I love to get a feel for the paranormal comic books out on the market today, such as B.P.R.D. (Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense) by Dark Horse Comics. They are just so much fun to read before a true ghost hunt! If the reader of this article doesn't know it already, H.P.I. is coming out with their own comic book. A comic book in which I wrote the script. H.P.I. is sent by the C.I.A. to Transylvania to deal with none other than Dracula and his breathren, they are terrorizing Romania. So, look out for this comic book when it comes out, the artwork is being done by famous Haunted America Tours artist extraordinaire Ricardo Pustanio! He is also the art director for the "Krewe of Mid City" that makes floats for the New Orleans Mardi Gras Parade.

Anyway, back to this ghost hunt. I head up I-5 North towards Redding, playing Men in Black by Will Smith. The only paranormal song to psyche me up that I could find in my CD collection. At 9pm, I meet up with HPI paranormal investigators at Taco Bell on Elverta and Watt. Shannon gives us a briefing and checks to see what equipment we are utilizing for this investigation. While she was doing this I was looking at the #2 Special on the Taco Bell screen.

Before I went on this investigation, I got a call from my cousin Patricia Boyd in Texas. Patricia was telling me that when she lived in Sacramento that she had to travel down the famous Dyer Lane one time to get to her friend's house. She saw a man walking down the road by himself. The man was wearing an Army jacket and looked haggard, his appearance frightened her. She looked in her back rear view mirror and the figure of the man walking down the road was no longer there. She said she drove like a bat-out-of-hell to get off Dyer Lane. Patricia welcomes your comments at her website at: www.jazzysboutique.com

Roll Call for this H.P.I. Investigation are as follows: Shannon McCabe, Nick & Christie Martisko, Sai Kumar Reddiboyina, Bruce Farrington, Jennifer Baca, Anne Temple, Tim Hawkins, John Wachter aka Vlawde, Michelle Paykel, Cherie Vincent, Emily McCarthy, Chris Grissom, Jimmy & Suzy Campbell, Lisa Holt and of course me...yours truly...Paul Dale Roberts. When I arrived to Taco Bell, I encountered two new investigators Nick & Christie Martisko. I asked them how did they get interested in the paranormal, here is their story.... Christie says that when she lived in Dundee, Oregon, the house that she lived in had many paranormal disturbances, such as a mirror that hovered above her and slid through the air until it finally settled down. She goes on to say that the lights would become brighter, or dim down to a lower level of lighting on their own accord. Her husband Nick when living in Hillsboro, Oregon, outside of Portland lived in a home in which he saw a shadow move across the hallway and his wife Christie said he was as pale as a ghost. Nick and Christie now seek out answers by becoming paranormal investigators for H.P.I. I can see why.

The time for the investigation was about to begin. We all had to caravan to the location about 1/2 mile away. I went with Cherie Vincent and Jennifer Baca. Cherie was driving her suped up muscle car that vibrated on every bump on the road. It was an experience to ride in the backseat of this maverick vehicle with Cherie in control. Cherie zips around corners as if she is an experienced Nascar driver.

The reader of this article is probably wondering how this investigation came about. Here's how it started. Tim Hawkins, Secretary and lead investigator for H.P.I., interviewed a young man a few weeks ago who had this to say..."My friend and I both heard the name "Ellen",and then we both saw an apparition by the side of the road." The road he is referring to is Dyer Lane.

The original email to Tim Hawkins said: "One month ago my friend and I accidentally passed the turn off to his house and went a mile and half out of our way. the intersection we passed was antelope and P.F.E. road which is located in antelope CA.(very close to Elverta,CA) I began to look for a place to turn around (still on Antelope) I saw a street sign which read "Dyer Lane". I thought to myself "what a creepy name" I began to turn onto the street just enough so I could back out on to the country road and do a three point turn, when my friend Kaleb began to freak out on me. He told me not to go there!! He said the street was haunted. Naturally, I then had to travel down it.... We decided to come back that night. We experienced several strange happenings. voices, random temperature changes things had been moved between the night and day travels. All of these things are logically explained but the feeling one gets when traveling down this road can only be explained as other worldly. "
Signed: Confidential in CA.

Tim Hawkins did some more research and took this off of Wikimapia.com : "Dyer Lane can be accessed from Watt Avenue, between Center High School and where Watt ends in Antelope. Dyer Lane leads directly into Tan Woods Road, and then into Kasser Road. These roads are supposedly haunted. Whether they are actually haunted or not, they are still pretty creepy. Large trash such as old couches and refrigerator boxes litter the sides of the roads, while the roads themselves are often covered in chalk graffiti including satanic messages, racist hate speech, and outlines of bodies. Most of this can be seen on Tan Woods Road. Probably the creepiest thing about these roads is that they don't seem to actually lead anywhere. Kasser Road just ends at 16th Street in Elverta. The two roads off of Dyer Lane, labeled here as "driveways," are gated off, and appear to lead to abandoned houses out in the middle of the field. Outside of those, and a few houses along Kasser Road, there does not seem to be any apparent purpose for these roads. I can't for the life of me think of why anybody living on Kasser Road would want to take Dyer Lane to get home. In the mid-80's Bill Mullen, a Rio Linda High School student, was killed on Dyer Lane in a racially charged gang fight. Rumor has it that if you come here at night, park your vehicle at the corner where Tan Woods Road turns into Kasser Road, turn off the ignition and the lights, your car will not start again. The person who told me this rumor claimed to know from personal experience."
H.P.I.'s members all tried this experiment, and we all were able to start our vehicles. One member lost her keys, but after we found them..no problems.

Tim and Shannon brief the H.P.I. investigators and tell them according to folklore, in the 1930s and 40s the K.K.K. (Ku Klux Klan) would hold secret meetings in this area. And that there was once a cop killed on this stretch of road. Some people think they see that ghostly cop in his ghostly police car, thundering down the road with his lights on. As the ghost police car gets closer, it dissipates into thin air. Yep, this is a good urban legend! H.P.I .tonight will determine if this is only an urban legend, or is there some foundation of truth to the stories. As Cherie drove down this very dark unlit street, I noticed a sign that read: "Subject to Death". Death was in the shape of a dog skull that Cherie later found that night. The teams broke up into 3 parts, of course Shannon, Tim and I, floated around to the different teams to see what their finds were and teach some of the newbies. All 3 teams had walkie talkies, so each team knew where the other teams were at all times. Jimmy and Suzy captured brilliant orbs on their digital photos and are enthusiastic to show their findings. Jennifer and I were walking down the street and we felt something following us. Was it a ghost? No, it was a lost cat that was constantly meowing. The cat actually followed us everywhere we went and before we knew it we actually had a large herd of cows following us. I felt like Doctor Doolittle. Could it be that these animals were following Jennifer and I because of the smell of my musk cologne or could they smell the enchilada I ate earlier? Whatever it was we definitely had cows and one lost cat following us. While Jennifer and I were having this adventure, there was a team that consisted of Bruce Farrington, Lisa Holt, Emily McCarthy and Anne Temple that began hearing contemporary rock music. It was playing from a source that no one could figure out. As they sought out the music, they found nothing and the music faded away.... Lisa captures a moving orb on her video camera. A sweet smell emanating from the trees hits this teams smelling senses and as fast as the smell came, it also resides into nothingness. Emily feels compelled to walk towards a certain tree and she feels her hand twitching. She becomes apprehensive to go any further towards the tree and in her mind the name "Margie" comes into focus. Could Emily have a sixth sense? I ask her and she is unsure if she is a sensitive, she can only tell me what she felt.
As this investigation came to a close, Cherie Vincent pulls out her Ouija Board in puts it on the trunk of her car. With Nick Martisko and Shannon McCabe, she tries to entice a spirit to make it's presence known. The Ouija Board relates a 60 year old man with the initials BF is trying to communicate with them. All of the investigators have their fingers so light on the planchette that their fingers shake. Bruce Farrington comes up to me and says...'hey, B.F., that's my initials!' Jimmy Campbell produces a EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) recording where a spiritual voice says 'whoo hoo' or something to that effect. We'll have to analyze it further to see if it is truely something or an Owl. Needless to say, it was a fun filled night and as the investigation came to a close, there was good news for the lost cat. He now has a name, Anne Temple gives him the name of "Rascal" and is taking him home! Rascal will now have a home to live in free from starvation and fleas... Yeah for Rascal! Is anyone taking home those crazy cows?

Below are some testimonials from some people who have experienced Dyer Lane or know something about Dyer Lane, let's see what they have to say:

From Deborah Johnson:
"Ha, ha, ha - we used to go down that road late at nite on the weekends
in the mid 80's, but I've never heard about any of these stories. We
used to go and park at an old abandoned house/farm that was rumored to
have been a slaughter house, where the daughter had hung herself in a
closet (or killed by her father). Then the family just disappeared. I
drove my kids out there about a year ago and noticed that the house had
been torn down."

From Jeannette Lehman:
"Jake, my husband, seems to have encountered a farmer on a tractor
during the day who likes to cut off motorcyclists......who really isn't there!
There were supposed to be a batch of high school kids who were killed
there in car wreck, well, so the story goes.
I told Chief (name undisclosed) about the road used for cornering practice and he went down it once and didn't like it at all. He will not ride there anymore. Jess and I went on this road at midnight, on Halloween, that's when I heard the ghosts are active and we didn't see a thing. I have gone down there many times at night on
purpose and haven't seen a thing. But it's uncanny how the farmer whose land exits to Dyer can get his tractor to move so quickly and cut off motorcyclists moving at high speeds. He did it to me so many times I started to expect him to do it
and he seems to just drive down the road really going nowhere come back
a few minutes later and there will be no trace of him or the tractor. I
have made a high speed rung down the road passed him and got to the other
end turned around and rode the full length of the road and there will be
no sign of him anywhere along the full length of the road and this was in
broad daylight. It wasn't funny the first time he pulled out on me I was doing about 80 on that little yellow Suzuki and I almost ran into him after the second time. It seemed like an actual tractor it blew dust around and was noisier than hell but next trip back was in less than a couple minutes there was no sign of him and he moved real slow except getting out into the roadway."

From Renee Vincent-Finch:
"They (Renee's family) all reported having really creepy feelings, hearing strange things, and funny things happening to their car radios. One niece actually saw 'people', although she rarely talks about it anymore, (it scares her) she has seen the same little girl (ghost) every time she's gone out there - strange????"

From Letisha Correa:
"I don't know much about Dyer Lane, but your story brought back memories of when I was in Washington state. I was 12 years old and lived in a haunted house. The ghost(s) were most likely in the upstairs room. The ghost(s) would affect my mother, one night her eyes were glazed and she just went into a staring mode, then she hissed like a cat. It was so weird. Some of the family members remember being touched or tapped by an unseen entity. We would hear running up and down the stairs. One night, my dad had a strange ghostly face in his face. I was very happy when we moved out of there! "

FINDINGS:
Jennifer Baca and Paul Dale Roberts capture pictures of orbs from the fields.
Jimmy Campbell capture pictures of orbs from the fields and an EVP.
Some investigators hear sounds of high heels clicking on the pavement when no one is around.

CONCLUSION: Shannon McCabe, President of H.P.I.- "Well, Dyer Lane is certainly a creepy stretch of road. I didn't see much that would make me believe it was haunted. I have to go through hours of audio to make sure. I'd say another investigation down the road might be in order. Hey, at least the little cat found a good home, I'm satisfied!"

Control: The Legacy of Cults

2008-12-10T17:58:37Z

Control: The Legacy of Cults
By Paul Dale Roberts, HPI General Manager/Cultologist
By Shannon McCabe, HPI President/Cultologist

Back in the 70s, I did a Sociology report for college. The report was about certain cults that existed in America. What better way to do that was to go undercover to various cult churches and talk with the cult members one-on-one. I actually investigated the Hare Krishna in San Francisco, Peoples’ Temple in San Francisco, The Church of Satan in San Francisco and the Church of Scientology in Sacramento. I will detail my past findings about these groups, after you get to read Shannon McCabe and my interview with ex-Mormon Trisha Stevens. Shannon and I, became 'cultologists' for this interview, take it away Cultologist Shannon McCabe!

Shannon: How did you get involved with the Mormon Church?

Trisha: When I was 11 years old, my mother married a man who was a bit of a lowlife. He was a Mormon by baptism, but didn’t practice. When he lost all of his money to gambling and cocaine abuse, he turned to the Church for help. The Church sent missionaries to our home to teach us the ways of the Mormons. After an eternity of teachings, my mother and I were baptized as Mormons, I was 11 years old at the time.

Paul: Would you say that the teachings at the Mormon Church were similar to teachings you received at school?

Trisha: No! Sister Meriam Thomas, my Sunday school teacher, told me not to listen to my science teacher, because they were trying to derail the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Shannon: Could you elaborate?

Trisha: My Sunday school teacher told me that some of the science that we hear about in school was made up by Satan. I asked her about the dinosaurs I saw in the museum and she told me they were put there by Satan.

Shannon: How long were you a Mormon?

Trisha: 2 years.

Paul: Why didn’t you stay longer as a Mormon?

Trisha: My mother and I didn’t understand what they were trying to teach us; because it went against everything we knew. Once my mother caught my stepfather being a peeping tom, breaking into women’s houses and stealing their panties, their relationship was over and so was our relationship with the Mormon Church.

Shannon: I understand that Mormons stockpile food, why do they do this?

Trisha: Yes, they stockpile food for the end-of-world or a catastrophe. What I didn’t understand, is that they will refuse to feed a neighbor that is not Mormon, even if they are starving.
Paul: Looking back at this, do you feel the Mormons do things that are not of the norm?

Trisha: Definitely, their family ideals and moral values are very good, but I cannot believe in something that goes against science.

Shannon: Do you ever feel like you were being brainwashed?

Trisha: By their constant preaching of don’t believe in science. How I was told that dinosaur bones in museums are fake, that you MUST give ten percent to the Church and don’t associate with people that are not Mormon as they will lead you astray.

Paul: Why do you feel the Mormons are a cult?

Trisha: Because they try to warp your mind and have you believe in their way of thinking. Really, how can I believe in some tablets that were talked about by Joseph Smith? These tablets are what the entire Mormon religion are based on, and they were never even found!

Shannon: What do you believe in now?

Trisha: M-Theory. Yep! I love science now!

The Mormon Church's Connection to the Paranormal:

In 1823, Joseph Smith said a heavenly being or angel named "Moroni," appeared to him in a vision. Moroni told Smith he was the son of a man named Mormon. Mormon supposingly died in 400 AD. Moroni, told Smith that there were hidden written records on "golden plates" that describe a tribe of lost people who once had a great civilization in America. These plates were conveniently burried just outside the town where Smith lived. But they were written in an unknown language Smith called "Reformed Egyptian." Moroni instructed Smith to use two special peep stones to look through, which would enable him to translate the plates. Smith said he uncovered the golden plates, translated them with these stones and the end result is now known as the 'Book of Mormon.' And the angel named Moroni is now commemorated as the golden figure perched atop Mormon Temples. The golden plates later vanished, transported to heaven according to Smith. Of course there is no historical evidence that the golden plates or the civilizations recorded in the Book of Mormon ever existed.

That was our interview with Trisha and how she feels about the Mormon Church. When I conducted my undercover investigation of various cults, this is what I discovered:

Church of Satan. It is a requirement to completely read the Satanic Bible and understand the teachings of this Bible. When I told them that I only partially read the Bible, they told me not to come back to the Church until the Satanic Bible was thoroughly read and that they would quiz me later. Their connection to the paranormal: Satan.

Church of Scientology. Instantly they wanted money for various sessions that would teach me the ways of Scientology. There were various levels of Scientology that I needed to learn and everything costs a huge amount of money to learn. They kept doodling on a piece of paper, explaining how a mind gets clouded and that Scientology or Dianetics would uncloud my mind. Everything that was told to me in my first session, I would counteract with the opposite. Finally I was asked to leave the Church and not to come back. I felt the purpose of Scientology was to take their members money, anyway they can and to give allegiance to a science fiction writer named L. Ron Hubbard.

The horror of Scientology is that they appear to be a religion as a cynical ploy to avoid taxes and investigations. They use pyramid schemes in which is a method to sell self improvement courses. The suicide rate for Scientologists is high. I can only wonder why. It was L. Ron Hubbard that once said…"The way to make a million dollars is to start a religion." He knew what he was talking about. Their connection to the paranormal: UFOs.

Hare Krishna: While the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) sets out to have their members abandon their old way of life and live on the street preaching the Krishna way, it has had trouble along the way. Some of their main gurus have landed in prison after allegations of child abuse or member abuse. Brainwashing is set forth through their teachings. Many members have left this cult in disgust after numerous sex and money scandals that their leaders were involved in. Their connection to the paranormal: Mysticism and different states of consciousness.

Peoples’ Temple: The members I interviewed were very disenchanted with the Church. They felt Reverend Jim Jones felt he was the Messiah, that he wanted control and ultimate power from his followers. We all know the legacy of the Peoples’ Temple. A legacy of death, of mass suicide. There connection to the paranormal: Reverend Jim Jones felt he was the messiah.

How do Cults Seek Control?
• A cult teaches that they are right and everyone else is wrong, see Trisha’s comments in her interview about how science is the work of Satan. When the Church told Trisha that science is Satanic, they wanted her to believe this.
• A cult often teaches, that you should never ask questions. They want you to accept their teachings as fact.
• A cult teaches that something negative will happen to you, if their teachings are not followed.
• A cult might ostracize and reject a member who disagrees with the group. That member becomes a social outcast.
• A cult may avoid any person that doesn’t follow their ways, including family members or friends to cult members.
• A cult tries to control its members with strict rules. Example: Who to marry, what to wear, whom to talk to. This way the cult will affect all aspects of a member’s life.
• A cult may try to reduce outside influences, declaring such influences as misleading and are evil temptations.
• A cult may require members to change their name or other identifying characteristics to symbolically reject their former selves.
• A cult may require members to permanently mark their bodies with tattoos or scars to identify themselves as members of the group.
• A cult may require members to abuse themselves or somebody else to prove their devotion. This abuse may take the form of physical abuse, sexual abuse, verbal abuse, psychological abuse.
• A cult may teach that others are trying to stop them from spreading the truth, creating an us-vs.-them mentality.
Cult leaders may interpret readings through psychic phenomenon, ancient scriptures or their own misinterpretation of the Bible. They will expect their followers to believe all of their teachings.
Shannon & Paul's Final Words to Trisha:
Trisha, we are happy that you have found your way towards living a normal and healthy life and thank you for sharing your experiences with the Mormon Church. Have a great life and prosper!

The Feline Canine Beast of The Mystery Spot

2009-04-09T21:36:19Z

Ronnie Sanders of Del Rey Oaks writes: “Paul, I don’t know if you have ever been to the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz, but if you have never been there, I suggest that you go. I want to tell you a story or an experience I once had there. I went there with my mother, I think it was in 1984. I was 14 years old at the time. I swear we saw what appeared to be something like a Doberman pincher. We watched this unusual dog for a good while. The reason why my mother and I were watching is because the way it walked. It walked like a cat. You know like a cat on the prowl for a mouse. The animal looked at us and then jumped about 7 feet into a tree limb and went jumping from tree limb to tree limb until we couldn’t see it anymore. What do you think that could have been? I swear this thing was NOT a cat, it looked like a dog, like a Doberman pincher. I just don’t understand how it moved and acted like a cat. I have been to the Mystery Spot many times after that and never encountered this creature. I would like to know your thoughts……………..”

Note: Some wording to Ronnie’s message were changed to make it more readable.

Paul’s Thoughts:
Wow! That must have been an experience! I really don’t know what you may have seen. The closest kind of creature to what you are talking about would be the Mitla of Bolivia. The Mitla of Bolivia is also called Fawcett’s Cat-Dog. Lt. Colonel Percy Fawcett spent time in Bolivia from 1906 to 1914 and claims to have encountered this cat / dog creature. His first sighting was in the rainforests of Bolivia and he makes a similar claim. He thought this creature looked like a dog, I believe something like a German shepherd, but it walked like a cat. Later it moved like a cat and jumped onto a limb with grace.

The Mitla of Bolivia is one of the strangest cryptids on record. I have been to the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz and perhaps this area is some kind or vortex or portal that can bring in interdimensional beings or creatures. Perhaps, the Mystery Spot is a mini-Skinwalker Ranch. It’s odd that The Feline Canine Beast of the Mystery Spot was seen by you and your mother. There are also stories that tell how birds and rodents do not frequent the Mystery Spot. They say dogs do not like to enter this area. How odd it is, that a feline/canine creature feels no effect from the Mystery Spot.

There is a lot of strangeness at the Mystery Spot. I remember seeing trees growing in diverse angles. Balls seem to roll up the hill. Compasses and GPS devices go awry.

Some people theorize that the Mystery Spot is a type of illusion, but even if it is an illusion, why do the illusions happen here? Could there be an interdimensional doorway that leads us from our reality to another reality? Santa Cruz is next to Monterey Bay and Monterey Bay is rumored to hide a UFO base under its waters.

I think it’s too much of a coincidence that the Mystery Spot and the strangeness of Monterey Bay is coincidental. There is more to the puzzle than we are seeing. The whole area of Santa Cruz is strange. Bigfoot has been seen in the Santa Cruz mountain ranges. There are many strange hauntings in that area, such as the Brookdale Lodge. UFOs and USOs are seen in Monterey Bay. Strange and unique people are attracted to the culture of Santa Cruz. Goth and vampires are attracted to Santa Cruz. Yep, Ronnie…you might be onto something…keep me posted!

Before I close this article, I will let you know that Saskia de Boer of History Channel's Monster Quest has now contacted me in regard to my Batsquatch article. I love monster stories, so if you have stories to tell, please send them to me, I will research the story out and find out what kind of monster you encountered!

The picture with this article is of me at the Galt Cemetery.

2009-12-18T20:58:43Z

Photo: Christy is in the middle. She is in between her family members.

Interviewed by Paul Dale Roberts, HPI Paranormal Investigator
Date: December 18, 2009, Saturday
Time: 1000 Hours
Location of Interview: Starbucks, 4981 Watt Avenue, North Highlands, CA

Question: Please tell me something about yourself, you family life, hobbies, recreational activities that you enjoy doing.

Answer: I enjoy singing and dancing

Question: You have lived in Sacramento all your life. Are there places in Sacramento that you are curious about, that you feel may be haunted?

Answer: Yes, I would love to check out places like the Governor’s Mansion, because Nancy Reagan claimed it was haunted and didn’t want to live there. I would love to check out the home of Doreathea Puente. Mmmmmm…well, how about Old Sacramento, Delta King and those infamous tunnels underneath Old Sacramento? What’s with the house on 22nd and H Street. If I get into a real good mood and have an airline ticket in my hand, I would love to investigate the haunting of the Amityville House!

Question: You had some very interesting paranormal experiences. Please explain to me your first experience and where it happened at.

Answer: I was in third grade I would have dreams about something coming through my grandparent’s bedroom window and I woke up one night to use the restroom but I would leave the bathroom door open cause I was scared of the bloody Mary and candy man stories and I glanced over to my grandparent’s room and saw a man with long hair sitting next to my baby cousin’s crib staring out the same window I would have nightmares about, he looked at me with glowing red eyes and had no reflection. This occurred in North Highlands.

Question: So this is a dream you had when you were in third grade. Do you think it was an over active imagination or do you really think it was something of a paranormal nature that you were experiencing?

Answer: I believe it was paranormal because my dreams seem to be on a psychic level. I will have dreams that are very vivid and most of the times, my dreams will come true or the event will act out, just like it happened in my dream.

Question: Okay, tell me about your strange dreams, can you elaborate more about this?

Answer: I have dreams that have come true. Also, I dream about the people that once lived in haunted places where I lived. It’s as if I am looking through the deceased person’s eyes and see what they saw when they were alive.

Question: What happened to you at Yankee Hill?

Answer: I fell asleep with a mirror facing my bed and I woke up feeling something rubbing my leg and I flipped over to see who it was and all there was is a shadow on the wall. This happened when I was 14 years old.

Question: And Oroville?

Answer: It was the night of my junior prom instead of going, me and my now husband rented a motel. It was weird the whole time we were in the room I felt angry, sad and alone but I felt perfect out of the room. This room had a Jacuzzi by the bed and a sink near the Jacuzzi. When my boyfriend (now my husband) and I got into the Jacuzzi, I freaked out and had to get out of the Jacuzzi. I couldn’t be in the Jacuzzi. I slept with every single light on and I had a dream that the Jacuzzi was running so I got up to shut it off and went to the mirror to wipe the steam off and a lady was behind me looking very mean and upset. She was drenched from head to toe and had long black curly hair she was wearing a blue t-shirt and blue jeans. I woke up from this dream and packed and got out. I was 17 years old when this Oroville experience happened.

Question: And explain your experiences in North Highland.

Answer: I told you about my first experience in North Highland when I was in third grade, but I also had another experience when I was in 5th grade. I went to Six Flags one day and I was sick by the time I got home and I was coughing and had a fever. I came home to find out my uncle had passed away. I was so distraught I never got to say good bye that weekend. I stayed the night with my cousins, this is the same house he passed away in and every one was sleeping but me and then I heard this click, click, click and I ignored it. The click, click noise got louder and finally I turned around and in the corner of the room I saw this figure. An immediate calm came over me I went to sleep.

Question: Do you feel you might be a sensitive and that is why you are witnessing so many paranormal events?

Answer: Yes, I believe I am a sensitive.

Question: Are you still being haunted?

Answer: I always feel like something is always with me, watching me. It’s creepy sometimes.

Question: Have you ever had any of type of paranormal experience, such as a UFO sighting or anything that is out-of-the-ordinary.

Answer: No I have not.

Question: You dabble with tarot cards? Please explain.

Answer: When I was 14, my friend’s mom did a tarot reading on me and two weeks later it happened just as she said it would. I was hooked from there so I started doing readings myself.

Question: You mentioned you will have a dream and then it will come true. Can you give me a couple of examples?

Answer: I had a dream that my brother was riding his bike on Concow Road and got hit by a car and a month later I get a phone call that he was riding his bike on Concow Road and he got hit by a truck. I have dreams about money and somehow I get money from unexpected sources. I may have a dream about someone I haven’t seen for a long time and then I will run into that person in my dream.

Question: Is there anything else you might want to add, that we may have missed in this interview?

Answer: No, I think we are good, thank you for the interview.

Paul: Thank you.

My Thoughts on The Rapture:
Can you believe it the Hopis envisioned their own type of Rapture, where they are taken away in wingless metallic ships? I only wonder if the Rapture has any foundation of reality and truth. Is it possible that all of the people in the world that are being abducted by aliens are also being implanted with a tracking device that will allow the aliens to rapture them into the heavens?

Tejan Conjunto Tex Mex Festival: In the Eyes of Ramona Landeros

2009-08-30T08:15:43Z

Question: Explain to me what the Tejano Conjunto Tex Mex Festival is?

Answer: It is a music festival that is dedicated to preserving the Tejano Conjunto music as part of our American history. It talks about the struggles and experiences of the Mexican/American in our country.
Question: What is your role in this festival?

Answer: I am the founder and organizer of this festival; a dream that I have had for some time.

Question: You mentioned something about Selena. How does Selena fit into this festival?

Answer: Many young Mexican American young ladies grew up during the time Selena was at the top of the world. When she was murdered, it devastated the Tejano community, so in her honor and to keep her memory alive, we have a Selena contest. This gives the younger generation an opportunity to get up on stage and sing their favorite song and also celebrate her life.

Question: Is there a website where readers can go?
Yes the website is www.Landarrowsproductions.com

Question: How can someone contact you?
I can be reached at 916.529.5299 or 640.5969

Question: How long have you been involved with this festival?

I started planning this festival back in 2003. It was first a dream that my late brother and I had. It took some time because we knew that this music is not heard on the air waves so decided to launch this very risky venue.

Question: Okay, I am intrigued! What exactly is Tejano Conjunto music? Please explain.

Answer: The Tejano Conjunto music is a unique blend of Country Blues, Rock, Jazz and German music, but with a Mexican American twist. Conjunto music was founded back in the early 30’s and was considered the working class peoples’ music with a heavy influence on the accordion. The accordion has become so popular that the younger generation has picked up on it. The music continues to grow in popularity and it shows by the numbers that arrive in Sacramento from all over United States.
This has grown so popular that the Smithsonian Institute now has a place for COnjuntomusic in their folk library. Earlier this week, NPR came out and interviewed me about the Conjunto festival, so there is a growing interest and people are beginning to see how important the contributions that the Tejanos have made to American culture.

Question: Okay, if it started in the 30s, how did it get started? Now, I am really intrigued!

Answer: The founders of Conjunto music such as Narcisso Martinez, and Santiago Jimenez started playing the accordion that was heard throughout South Texas by the German settlers. This is why there are towns in Texas with German names such as Harlingen, Edinburgh and such. They soon took the accordion and added buttons instead of the piano style and began to play what is now known as Conjunto music. One of the very popular musicians, Flaco Jimenez came out to Godfather the 1st Tejano Conjunto festival.

Question: What day, time and location is the festival? Pray tell!

Answer: It will be held at Cesar Chavez Plaza in Sacramento, California on Sunday, September 6, 2009 from 1:00pm to 9:00 pm.

Question: How did this music influence you? Please elaborate.

Answer: My family worked in the fields as farm workers. We lived in many labor camps where we worked from sun up to sun down. After a long day in the fields the Texan families would bring out their instruments namely the accordion and start playing in the labor camps. My dad would say, “this music is so lively that it can bring you back from the dead”. Because after working for a long day, you felt dead, but those accordions and that Conjunto sound can really bring a smile to your face. This is why it is known as happy music. My parents never missed an opportunity to dance to Conjunto music.

Question: Is there a special way to dance to this music?

Answer: Yes very smooth and just have fun with it. There is a similarity with the two- step that is derived from country music and also the polka style which comes from the Germans. Go figure!

Question: What is your email address in case people want to email you?

Answer: Ramonalanderos@yahoo.com

Question: What are your hobbies and recreational activities?

Answer: I am very involved in working with at-risk youth in the community.

Question: As a paranormal writer, I got to meet your sister and she has an exceptional paranormal story, can I have her tell it? Pretty please?

Answer: Yes because these accounts are very real and some one reading this may say….”hey something similar happened to me.”

Okay, here is the story. My sister Leticia Landeros was walking in a bad neighborhood at 3am, because her car broke down and out of nowhere a huge Rottweiler started walking with her. It paced with her and when two shady type of men approached her, the Rottweiler was on high alert. The Rottweiler walked my sister to the safety of a family member’s home. When the Rottweiler went into the back yard of the family member, they went back there and the Rottweiler vanished. There was no where that this dog could have gone. I believe it was a spirit guide or angel that was with my sister that night in the form of a dog.

Question: Thank you for the interview, any last words of wisdom?

Answer: I just feel very honored to be able to bring this music to the community and also to continue to preserve the Tejano Conjunto music. The music is virtually off the airwaves so it is up to us to continue to bring this very important music here to the capital of California. We would like for it to reach the status of other music festivals, but we will get there. It couldn’t happen without the support of the Landeros clan who believed in my dream and the wonderful volunteers who work tirelessly.

Interview with Ashley Caperello, Owner/Entertainment Mgr of Re-Wire Productions

2010-01-14T03:40:29Z

Interviewed by Paul Dale Roberts, HPI General Manager www.hpiparanormal.net President www.jazmaonline.com

Question: First off tell us something personal about yourself, your family life, recreational activities, hobbies, what kind of movies, TV shows and books you like, etc.

Answer: Well, I run a local Sacramento music production company called Re-Wire Productions specializing in the Goth Industrial Genre. So I most often do book shows, handle promotions and sometimes sponsor events, as well as manage local Electro/Industrial bands: Savi0r and Cystem Cex. That takes up most of my time, but other then that I love horror, indie, and foreign films, as well as local Goth clubbing, and pretty much enjoy and appreciate most things dark, morbid, and Goth. Overall I’m a happy go lucky girl that is always dressed in black.

To see more pictures of Ashley and Rudy, stop by here:
http://s643.photobucket.com/albums/uu157/PaulDaleRoberts_2009/Ashley/

Question: Before I talk about your business activities, can I ask you how you got into the Goth culture?

Answer: I blame it on my family. Lol. Specifically my Aunt Cherie. She had a fascination with exotic cultures, films, and architecture. She took me to see Bram Stoker’s Dracula in theaters as well as the movie Interview with the Vampire. I believe I was in the second grade or younger, and It all pretty much started there- So I guess it was destined.

Question: What does the Goth culture mean to you?

Answer: Goth to me means, aside from a style of architecture, and style of music. It’s sort of an understanding or appreciation for all things dark and morbid basically.

Question: Does the Goth culture have anything to do with vampirism?

Answer: Well, I think the comparison within ‘Goth’ and ‘vampirism’ is that they are both things having to do with darkness, and within the darkness is the unknown, which is rather enticing and exciting. They sort of work hand-in-hand in that way.

Ashley: Let’s ask my business partner Rudy Alvarado (Daniel Reign Productions) whom is sitting with me now what do you think about the Goth Culture and Vampirism having anything to do with each other?

Rudy: I don’t believe that all Goth’s have an interest in Vampirism, but it seems to me that all people who have an interest in Vampirism are into Goth Culture to some capacity. I honestly don’t have very much interest in Vampirism, although I can see how the idea of fulfilling a sexual appetite through physical nourishment would be appealing to some people.

Question: Now tell me how did you get started with Re-Wire Productions?

Answer: I was in a metal band a few years ago ‘Anguidara’ and we shared the same management as the band ‘Savi0r’. Well my boyfriend is the lead singer of Savi0r, and the lead singer of Anguidara is now Savi0rs keyboardist. We are sort of one big family. But anyway, we were unhappy with our management at the time, and I ended up taking over along with my best friend Rudy who also happens to be my official sound guy. It all happened by accident, but all things happen for a reason right?

And same question to Rudy Alvarado

Rudy: My feelings on the Goth culture have definitely evolved over the last 15 years or so. Currently, my feelings on the Goth culture are that it’s grown in such a way that it has made it more accessible to mainstream culture. In some ways, I think it can be a bad thing because it’s become really easy for misconceptions to spread about the Goth subculture. So many people lose sight of the fact that not everyone in the Goth culture has the same interests in personal philosophies, music and even fashion. You have some individuals like me that refuse to wear velvet because it’s dead as disco and others that refuse to listen to the Sisters of Mercy because it’s too pretentious. I think the one trait that you’ll find in common with pretty much anyone that you encounter is that part of the Goth culture is that we don’t want to get too incredibly wrapped in mainstream culture. Not to the point where Goth Culture is as isolated as Gilligan’s Island, but definitely isolated enough so that we can be comfortable in our own skin.

Question: What is the purpose of Re-Wire Productions, what do you hope to achieve?

Answer: I hope to not only get more exposure for the bands that I manage, but to also help out the Goth industrial scene in Sacramento as much as I can. It is sort of a dying culture. Pretty much everyone within our scene here knows everyone else. So I figure if we all joined forces, we could bring it back to life, in a way. I am extremely passionate about its culture and the music of course.

Question: Do you have a website and is there a way for people to contact you?

Answer: Re-Wire is on myspace currently www.myspace.com/ReWireProductions, as well as my personal myspace www.myspace.com/BloodlustBride I will have an official website up soon.

Question: Wow! Great interview you two! I think you answered everything I needed for this interview. Let’s do a fun question. Ashley and Rudy: If you had 6 dinner guests, 3 historical and 3 fictional, who would they be and why?

Ashley: Hmmm, historical I would have to say Marquis De Sade definitely; Frida Kahlo, and Shakespeare. They were all as far as I know, interesting characters, and have all influenced so much of my life, in so many different ways. Fictional: all vampires of course… ha-ha, I can’t help it, they’re all sexier and more interesting then humans… Bill Compton (true blood), Lestat (Annie Rice character), and Dracula (played by Gary Oldman of course!) And then I could have my fictional characters turn into my historical ones.

Rudy: My historical figures of choice would have to be Che Guevara, Chuck Schuldiner, and Jon Nodtveidt

My fictional figures would be: Nicky Santoro (played by Joe Pesci in the movie Casino), Detective Somerset (played by Morgan Freeman in the movie Se7en), and Valeria (played by Sandahl Bergman in the movie Conan the Barbarian).

I would have this group at my table because I feel that they are all people with incredibly strong personalities although they are not necessarily all physically strong.

Special Note: When Rudy mentions Morgan Freeman, I had a flashback. My sister Sharon is a friend of Morgan Freeman and her ex-husband Captain Crazy Jeff Voshell used to work on his boat in St. Thomas Island. Morgan Freeman is an incredible actor!

Question: What TV shows, movies, books do you like?

Ashley: Poppy Z Brite, and Nancy Kilpatrick are two of my favorite writers, I am a huge Vampire Erotica fan, as well as a Vampire movie connoisseur so I would have to say a few of my favorite movies of all time are Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and Let the Right One In, and for non-vampire movies: Delicatessen, Old Boy, and Brother Hood of the Wolf. The TV show, True Blood (HBO) is at the top of my list currently, as well as Madmen (AMC).

Rudy: I don’t read a lot of books, 2 that come to mind would be The Blood Countess by Andrei Codrescu and 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Rudy: My favorite TV shows are: Chappelle’s Show (RIP), Entourage, Arrested Development (RIP), and the 2nd season of The Ali G Show.

Rudy: Some of my all time favorite movies are: Until the Light Takes Us, Visitor Q, Casino, Amadeus, Interview with the Vampire, The Big Lebowski and Synecdoche New York. This list would be longer than the interview if I listed every movie that I’m a fan of. Now you know what I’m doing in my leisure when I’m not reading, or do you?

Question: What is your favorite song?

Ashley: This is an unfair question, music is pretty much my life, it’s difficult to have to sum it up, but if I could choose a few it would be ‘Man that you Fear’ Marilyn Manson, and ‘Black Celebration’ Depeche Mode. Just a few that would have been included in the sound track of my life.

Rudy: I’ll have to give you a list. What kind of an audio engineer would I be if I only loved one song?

1349 – I Am Abomination
Gorgoroth – God Seed
Tori Amos – Pretty Good Year
Lily Allen – Not Fair
Tactical Sekt – Beslan
Led Zeppelin – Going to California
Bonobo – Terrapin
Goldfrapp – Number 1

Question: Thank you for this incredible interview. Any words of wisdom for your readers?

Ashley: Live like it’s your last day, life is too short to allow yourself to be trapped in a career that you are unhappy in. Thank-you for reading this extremely long interview : ]

Rudy: If you make the decision to get into the entertainment industry in any capacity, learn how to type. You’re going to need another job while pursuing your art form to keep a roof over your head and food in your belly. But if you’re one of those rare individuals that can score themselves a sugar daddy/ sugar momma, my hat goes off to you for killing your integrity.

Special Note: Ashley says that she is planning a trip to Turkey in April, she also made an interesting comment to me that she went to a psychic and the psychic told her that she is an old soul and once lived on the island of Atlantis, which in turn gave me another flashback that I mentioned to Ashley. My ex-wife Patricia took me to a psychic and the psychic did a reading on me. Not knowing who I am, she said I was an old soul and that I was once a scribe in Rome. She said many people would follow me around, because they were fascinated with my writings. Very interesting….very interesting…..

The Ghost of the Lone Wolf of Highway #1

2009-02-15T02:45:40Z

I have encountered many outlaw bicycle clubs during my lifetime and even have a connection with some of them. I have seen: The Louisville Outlaws, Bandidos Outlaw Motorcycle Club (in Texas), Oakland Hell's Angels, San Jose Gypsy Jokers, Monterey Losers and the Stockton Skulls. I have a female cousin that was once the property of a Hell's Angel. I have a male cousin who is an actual member of the San Jose Gypsy Jokers. I have ran into the Stockton Skulls at a Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young / Buddy Miles Concert in Stockton, where the Skulls went up against the Stockton Police. The police broke up this concert by tear gas and swinging their batons. The year was 1968.

Bikers at times live a harsh life. One urban legend tells the sad story of the Lone Wolf of Highway #1. The story goes, that the Lone Wolf who was not part of any biker gang found his girl with an outlaw biker gang called the Bakersfield Blackhearts (now defunct). The Lone Wolf found her being intimate with 3 members of the Bakersfield Blackhearts. The Lone Wolf seeking revenge shot one of the bikers that was fooling around with his girlfriend. The Lone Wolf hightailed it out of the valley and made it to Highway #1, where he would be far removed from the Bakersfield Blackhearts' territory. As he was headed up Highway #1 towards Big Sur, he did not realize he was being followed by a truck. Inside the truck was one of the Bakersfield Blackhearts. When they reached a steep winding area of Highway #1, the truck smashed into his bike. The Lone Wolf plummeted onto the cliffs. When his body hit the jagged rocks, he was instantly dead. The year was 1964.

People now claim that they see a single headlight coming at them fast from the rear. The single headlight will follow them for a few minutes and then vanish. In 1970, I was traveling on Highway #1 in a 1965 Dodge Coronet Station Wagon late at night on Highway #1 with my then girlfriend Raquel Nunez. I was leaving Raquel Nunez's father's ranch - The Sanchez Adobe Ranch. I was bringing Raquel back to San Bruno where her home was and she claimed that a motorcycle was tailing me and was very close to my bumper and to be careful. When I looked in my rear view mirror, I saw no motorcycle. She claimed up and down she saw the single bright headlight of a motorcycle on the rear end of my vehicle.

I didn't see it, but perhaps...just perhaps....I was being followed by the Ghost of the Lone Wolf.

The Evidence of the Gods:

Let me get into another subject. Let's talk about the Evidence of the Gods. Skeptics says that UFOs are no more than weather inversions, swamp gas, camera lens flares, etc. But, if we were to start gathering the evidence to present to the jury, let's see what some of that evidence might be:

Mount Popocatepetl in Mexico.
This would be a great place to gather evidence of UFO activity. UFOs are constantly seen in and around this active volcano. It is claimed that the strongest electromagnetic fields are found here, than any location on Earth. This is probably one of the main fueling sites for UFOs to energize their vehicles. We should have 24/7 cameras located all around this volcano to gather photographic evidence.

The Oz Factor.
The Oz Factor was described by US Air Force personnel when they were approached by a UFO in Rendleshaim Forest during the RAF Bentwaters Incident. The Oz Effect was caused by the electromagnetic and static energy generated by the craft. The Oz Factor caused the soldiers to slow down physically and mentally in their processes. This is referred to as an 'associative dysfunction'. Everything the soldiers felt during this phase was surreal. Immediate medical examinations of these soldiers may have produced alternate brain patterns, giving us some kind of credence that they experienced something that was unusual. More evidence for the jury to digest.

Various Types of Aliens.
Interviews with abductees and witnesses throughout the world, report seeing 5 types of aliens. The Zetas, Nordics, Mantis Beings, Reptilians and Large Grays. It would be great to do interviews with people in remote locations that have been abducted, that have no access to TV and books and see if their stories coincide with descriptions of other abductees. To see if these interviewees describe the same type of aliens. It would also be exciting to see if the medical experiments coincide with other abductions. An abduction and Close Encounter Data Base would be relevant for cases such as the Tujunga Canyon Abductions from the early 50s of 2 women who were subjected to medical examinations by aliens to Travis Walton's abduction in which he encountered small grays and Nordics to Officer Lonnie Zamora's close encounter in April 24, 1964 in Socorro, New Mexico to the Zavodsk Square, Voronezh, Russia Incident in which a group of children witness a landed UFO in the park. A child from the group approaches the UFO and an alien points something at the child and makes him vanish. When the UFO departs, the child reappears. With a large centralized data base gathering all of the abductee and close encounter information, we would be able to pinpoint consistency or contradictions to these stories.

UFO Landing Spots.
All UFO landing spots need to be fully investigated, photographs taken, soil samples taken. Information should all go into a centralized data base for all UFOlogists to analyze.

Alien Implants.
Implants with truthful substance should be collected for evidence and kept in one centralized location for analysis. Implants that are known to have a strong covering of living tissue composed of protein and keratin are the best candidates. These are the implants that doctors have a hard time cutting the outside membrane of the implant using a scalpel. The tissue for these implants is the same composition of human hair or fingernails. Most of these implants when in the body contain strong electromagnetic properties. Some scientists have determined that the metallic composition of an implant seems to have meteorite origins, because the isotopes of the metallic composition cannot be found on our terrestrial landscape.

Photographs and Video Footage.
Again, should be kept in a centralized location for analysis. Especially photographs and video footage taken from reliable sources, such as NASA. Video footage should be analyzed for intelligent movement of craft. Photographs don't particularly have to be UFOs, it could be of The Bridge structure seen on the Moon. Science Editor John J. O'Neill and British Astronomer Dr. H.P. Wilkins confirmed there was a bridge structure on the Moon, 12 miles long. Any photographic evidence of this structure should be collected for further analysis.

Statements of Witnesses.
In 1979, when Linda Napolitano was taken from her Brooklyn apartment in Manhattan, there were many witnesses to this event called the Brooklyn Bridge Case. All statements should have been gathered of these witnesses for future reference. All of their contact information should be collected for future interviews. If we had started early in collecting statements, we would have the 1957 statement of Antonio Villas Boas, the Brazilian farmer who later became a lawyer. He was subject to an abduction and had sex with an alien female. He later claims that he was angered by the abduction, because the aliens were looking for a good stallion to improve their stock. It would be nice to have Betty and Barney Hill's statements of their abductions. It would be nice to have Mac Brazel's statement on what kind of debris he saw during the 1947 Roswell fiasco, before government agents shut him up for being one of the gunmen who killed Pat Garrett. Since there is no statute of limitations to murder, Mac Brazel became quiet on what he saw in 1947. Note: Pat Garrett is the deputy that killed William Bonney aka Billy the Kid. Double Note: When I was a kid, I went to New Mexico and visited Billy the Kid's grave. Little did I know, when I was sitting on Billy's tombstone, that Billy would have a connection to the Roswell Incident. The irony of it all.

My Conclusion.
If UFO investigating groups would start sharing their information and setting a goal of having a centralized computer for all of their evidence, perhaps one day, we will have the evidence we need to show the jury, to show the public that UFOs do actually exist and that we are truly being visited by extraterrestials.

HPI in Aruba: In Search of Natalee Holloway Part 3

2009-01-21T03:11:42Z

The Captain of the ship decided not to turn over his ship to the Dutch Marines, so he scuttled the ship. He safely had the crewmen go to the shore. He then heated up the boilers and opened the sea cocks. When the cold water hit the hot boilers, the ship exploded, ripping the ship in half. It sank in eight minutes. How exciting to see this history in the ocean. For more information, check out: www.atlantisadventures.com/aruba If you visit Aruba, the submarine tour is a must!

An Arubian that does not want to be identified tells me an Arubian ghost story. A man who would go to the beach by himself, would at times see a small boy in a t-shirt, that had no arms. The boy would stare at the man and walk towards the trees and vanish. The man thinking it was some boy that lived near the beach, thought nothing of it. Then one day, the boy with no arms appears again and approaches the man. The boy seemed to have a sinister look on his face. The man felt no threat from the little boy. As the boy got closer, he bit the man's leg viciously. The man had a stroke. The man screamed and people on the beach hearing the scream assisted the man. It was determined he had a stroke on the beach, but there was also a large bite mark on his leg.

Today spent most of the whole day at the Havana Beach Club, sipping pina coladas. Met another Columbian girl. Her name is Yuli Cacezes, she is an aspiring writer and I was giving her tips that may be beneficial for her future writing career.

On this night, went to another beach area for an EVP session. I asked about 20 or so questions. One questionable EVP is this one, that needs further analysis:

Paul: Natalee, how did you die? EVP of Woman: Don't know.

Well, today is Saturday. Time to lay out at the Havana Beach. I was walking over to the beach and they have artificially colored blue rocks and to my surprise there is a Chameleon, the Chameleon was a bright blue. Amazing! As I was in the water, I struck up a conversation with Pablia, another lady from Columbia. Now check this out. I don't speak any Spanish, sure...I know certain words and Pablia doesn't know how to speak English. But, with sign language and certain word recognition, I was able to gather this information. Pablia is from Columbia, she has 3 children, she loves the water. She is not fond of the Venezuela president and feels he may invade Aruba, because of the oil. She has a large family in Columbia, but a small family here in Aruba. She has been to Orlando, Florida and she understands I am from California. Now, that is mind blowing. Not being able to speak Spanish, but having a full on conversation and understanding what is being said. I amaze myself sometimes.

Enough of that, tonight went back to Mambo Jambo for more interviews. With 4 long island iced teas and 2 jello shots, I was still able to conduct interviews. The first interview tonight was a Columbian girl named Dora Zapata. She pointed the way to Cafe Bahia which was formerly known as Senor Frog. Yes! Senor Frog is the club where Natalee Holloway was last seen. After some Salsa dancing at Mambo Jambo, I will attempt to get some EVPs at Cafe Bahia. Tonight, I salsa danced with two ladies from Venezuela (Asdreina and Andrea). I really felt my salsa dancing sucked, but some Latino guys came over to tell me that I did a great job, especially when I started spinning them around and around and around. So, who knows. Perhaps I did good, perhaps I didn't. It is not easy to dance Salsa, especially if you are not familiar with the music. While I took a break from these ladies, I talked with Nolan Howe from Michigan. Nolan plans to join our HPI Michigan Branch Office. Nolan was completely fascinated with my stories and was quite knowledgeable about the paranormal. I was impressed.

After the nightclub ended, I went over to Cafe Bahia and took some pictures and tried to get some EVPs. Tonight I was unsuccessful in getting any EVPs. I made about 15 attempts at Cafe Bahia.

Special Note: People I interviewed claim that Natalee Holloway was last seen at the Senor Frog and not Carlos 'n Charlies like the newspapers reported. The 'don't know' EVP was obtained near the California Lighthouse.

Today is Sunday. I promised I would take it easy today, because I fly out on Monday. So, I did some EVP work at Pinchos Grill & Bar on the Pier. No success in obtaining EVPs. Then laid out at the Havana Beach Club, where I met two Columbian women - Jenny Castano and her girlfriend Angela Guitterez. They speak no English and I just know a few key words in Spanish and got into a great conversation with them, using a lot of sign language. Jenny fed me some Special K peaches and berries bars and in turn I bought them two pina coladas. Now I have committed myself to take them both to Mambo Jambo for dancing. As Jenny's girlfriend drove me back to my hotel from the beach, she played some Salsa music that she loves. I'm getting used to this Salsa music. It doesn't seem like I will be getting any rest tonight...sigh. It's not easy being a ghosthunter in an exotic land. No wonder they call Aruba - One Happy Island.

7pm and Jenny Castano & Angela Guitterez are at my door. We all hop in Angela's car and head downtown. They show me where Carlos 'n Charlies Restaurant and Bar is. They claim that Natalee Holloway was at this bar and it was the last place she was seen, not Senor Frog. But, Senor Frog is very close to Carlos 'n Charlies Restaurant and I can see how the Arubians could get that confused. Angela allowed me to drive her car on the streets of Aruba, that was a blast! On this night the three of us had Columbian dinners at Carlos Arango Dario Hincapie Jierras Colombianas - Schektstraat No 58. Wow! Columbian food is quite delicious and satisfied my pallet immensely! Afterwards we went to the Well Well Restaurant where Angela works as a bartender. We then finalized the night at the Wing Hung Restaurant and Bar (this is a Columbian bar), the prices are very good for drinks. The ladies had several drinks and shots and it cost a mere $20.00. Jenny taught me how to Columbian Salsa. My Salsa was top notch tonight and people at the bar were clapping. Ahhh...I still have it! What an exceptional evening and spent it looking at the billions of stars in the night sky with Jenny. No EVP work tonight, if you can catch my drift. I will miss Aruba. Tomorrow is the day I go home....double sigh.

Monday is here and I am jetting back home. Seated next to me is Kim and Andy Miller from Oakland. I love this couple, we had such a captivating conversation for most of the time heading to Oakland from Boston. Kim is very well traveled and we discussed the many countries we have visited. Kim had a great ghost story about the Mt. View Cemetery in Oakland. The very same cemetery where I had a scouting mission. Here is the story, that occurred in the 1800s. A wealthy doctor married a young gold digger women. He bought her a whopping diamond wedding ring. During their marriage, she became ill and died suddenly. The good doctor discovers after her demise that she had cheated on him. One night he heads out to the Mt. View Cemetery and digs up her fresh grave to get his ring back. As he pulls off her ring, she sits up from her coffin. The doctor has a heart attack on the spot and dies. It was discovered that his wife was accidently buried alive. Thank you Kim for this great story. Andy Miller, Kim's significant other has a great website at: www.burmesemountaindog.org - Check it out when you have a chance.

This concludes my investigation in Aruba. While I was in Aruba, I did some promoting of HPI and Ghost Girls. The 4 female bartenders of Mambo Jambo allowed me to place Ghost Girls business cards on all of the seats of the club and the DJ announced that Ghost Girls business cards were placed on the seats, because an American ghosthunter and ghostwriter is in Aruba. That was some great advertising by Mambo Jambo and I thank them for this!

FINDINGS:
I interviewed dozens of people on the streets of Aruba. Many who are not even mentioned in this article. Many people confirm that a blonde phantom woman does walk the beaches of Aruba. I cannot confirm that this blonde phantom woman is Natalee Holloway. During my EVP sessions, the two EVPs I received are from a woman, but she does not confirm she is Natalee Holloway, even though the 'don't know' EVP, I do ask a question directed to Natalee and received the EVP.

CONCLUSION:
With the many witnesses that claim to have seen or heard about the blonde phantom woman of the Aruba beaches, I do believe they are seeing something that may be paranormal. With the two EVPs that I received, there is a strong indication that there is paranormal activity. I gathered no positive proof that the EVPs are from Natalee Holloway, nor did I ever see a blonde phantom woman on the beaches of Aruba. Many people believe Joran spiked Natalee's drinks with drugs. Many people believe that Joran's father took Natalee on his boat and dumped her body in the ocean. One person I interviewed that calls herself Sasha, says he received this information from the circle of friends that were associated with Joran. My thoughts, when rumors are this strong, there appears there may be some type of foundation of truth and this matter should continue being investigated by the police. As long as Natalee's death is not confirmed, Aruba cannot truly be 'one happy island'. There must be a conclusion to this and justice must be served! Natalee will always be in the hearts of millions. She is an innocent girl that confronted evil and paid a terrible price. God bless Natalee.

A Seance that Produced Very Scary Results!

2009-10-19T02:54:49Z

I have been on over 300 paranormal investigations and have written over 300 articles. I will never stop writing articles. I am prolific and I will continue to be prolific. I have a book coming out next year. I embrace life and enjoy life to the fullest. If you like my adventures, read them, if you don't like reading about my adventures, then don't read them. My articles have been discovered by many TV producers. Shannon and I have now done 5 documentaries. The most recent is History Channel's Monster Quest and we were recently sent to Los Angeles to look for the ghost of a very famous deceased pop singer at the Shrine Auditorium. If this special is successful we will be looking for other deceased celebrity ghosts and it may even lead to a TV Show.

Below is one of the most frightening cases I have ever worked on. Enjoy!

We all have hobbies, but my hobby is a bit unusual, I investigate the paranormal. Today is Friday, January 11, 2008. I am headed to a home in the south area of Sacramento. I am meeting up with Shannon 'Ms. Macabre' McCabe. We are ready to conduct a preliminary investigation on a home that is claimed to be haunted. The occupant Sue Gray says that she moved into this home in February 25, 1984. The home is built on an area that used to be strawberry fields. The activity started in 1990. Simple things started happening, car keys and ATM card are missing for a few days and reappear in plain sight. Then things started escalating. Things start feeling weird in the bathroom. Sue's son hears someone in the bedroom talking to another person and when entering the bedroom, there is no one there. It appears that Sue is fond of antiques, she has an old rocker that belonged to a family friend. She has a kitchen table that is over 100 years old, it once belonged to her neighbor's great aunt. She has a hutch that is over 100 years old and once a woman in an apron appeared next to this hutch. Could it be that the antiques that Sue brought into her home, made her home haunted? Could the antiques carry some type of residual energy to cause the haunting? Could the furniture contain psychometric energy to disclose their secrets?

When Sue took family pictures around the house, she noticed on her photographs, that she was taking pictures of orbs. In one photo she showed Shannon and I, that there are 5 glowing red small orbs near a family member. When taking pictures in the backyard, she takes a picture that shows several orbs. The most significant activity that occurred in this home, is that a dark figure of a man was seen in the backyard floating from one end of the backyard to the other end. The same dark figure of a man was seen in the bathroom by a family member. Then not too long after the dark figure of the man was seen in the bathroom, her son heard a man and a boy talking in the bathroom and when he went into the bathroom to investigate, there was no one there. At times Sue lays in bed and she can feel a moving cold spot cross her face. Sue is seeking answers to find out the cause of this activity. Shannon investigates using her electronic audio digital recorder. We are still analyzing the recording, to see if any EVPs were actually picked up. I took several photographs around the home and some of the photographs depict orbs. The investigation continued until 1:30am. There is a lot of evidence Shannon and I, must sift through, but tonight is not the night to analyze the evidence. Shannon McCabe is preparing to conduct a preliminary investigation of the Brookdale Lodge with core paranormal investigators Donna Reynolds, Holly DeLaughter, Cherie Vincent, Michelle Stump, John Wachter, Bryan Coleman, Michele Paykel, Tim Hawkins and Chris Grissom on Saturday, while I have to prepare for a scouting mission at the Brougham residence in Citrus Heights on Saturday. Robert Gordon and Karisten Lockhart who live in a home on F Street notified me a few days in advance that an investigation in their F Street home on Saturday would not happen due to some complications. Their home which had a lot of activity, such as things flying off the shelves and hearing strange noises was recently blessed. Now the activity has resided. This Saturday, Jan 12, 2008, I was taking my paranormal investigators-in-training to two residential haunts and now that the F Street home canceled, they will only be involved with the Brougham Residence, in which they will be allowed to spend the night!

Before I discuss the scouting mission this Saturday, I will tell you that on January 6, 2008, Sunday, we did a photo shoot with Gold Rush Ghosts and for the Ghost Girls upcoming DVD. The people who attended this event were Gold Rush Ghosts paranormal investigators: Maria Muzzy, Nancy Bradley, Paul Dale Roberts, Robert Reppert, Rodney Roberts, Catherine Noble, Danielle Carpenter, Chris Grissom, Ron Williams, Liz Harrison and Millieanne Jackson. Shannon McCabe was there for the photo shoot with Nancy Bradley aka Nancestrodaumous for the Ghost Girls DVD. If you want to see some spectacular investigations captured on film, be on the lookout for the Ghost Girls DVD! I have been working on a demonic case in Ohio. The lady is named Rosemary. The case is somewhat complex and Nancy Bradley - Psychic to the Stars assisted me with this case. For more information on what Rosemary is saying that is occurring in her home, you can stop at this link to find out:

Now to the scouting mission on Brougham Way. Let's take a roll call. Paul Dale Roberts - Lead Investigator/Scoutmaster. Paranormal Investigators-in-Training/Scouts: Julie Robinson, Alicia Campos, Mr. X1, Mr. X2, Robin Kanstein, Shauna Kinchen, John Shue, Paul Orlando, Robert Mabalot, Jennifer Martinez, Dee, LaShae 'Chicky' Tate, Veldena Ladson, Angel Kesti, Kelly 'Kiki' Tuttle, Anah Denzeiberg.

Let's see how this day starts out. What you are about to read is pretty scary. I have been on something like over 60 investigations and only a few stand out in my mind as being significant. This investigation is significant! As I approached the Brougham Residence, I get a phone call from Kelly 'Kiki' Tuttle, she tells me she is cruising from Redding in her White Ghost vehicle to Citrus Heights for this investigation. She tells me that through remote viewing, she picked up images of an old man with wrinkles and a reddish bulb type nose. She envisioned a drowning of a small boy. She received information that the old man was an alcoholic.
As everyone arrived, I conducted a briefing and explained to the scouts, that the occupant will give us a walk through of her home. I had the occupant give us a brief description and asked her not to get into tell-all details, because I want my scouts to make their own discoveries and compare notes. I had Mr. X break everyone up into three teams. The teams came up with their own names. Team 1 was Ghostbusters. Team 2 was It. Team 3 was Can't Touch This. Each team was equipped with one video camera. Each team would have one scribe and one team leader equipped with a walkie talkie. All scouts brought a multitude of equipment from EMF Readers, digital audio recorders, digital cameras, temperature gauges, Listen Up Sound Enhancers and of course video cameras. I also made sure that each team had at least one 'sensitive'. I explained that the more people there are for an investigation, the entities of the home can absorb that energy and we should see more activity happening. Also, entities do not like disturbance and this is another possible method to get more activity. Mr. X conducted some protection words for the group. I did some researching in regard to the area location and there were some Japanese Internment Camps located in this area. Now if the Brougham residence sits on a former site of a Japanese Internment Camp is anyone's guess. Mr. X explained to everyone on when using their electronic audio digital recorders, to have silence to pick up EVPs. Speak and then wait a while to see if an EVP is being recorded. This is very important, because I have watched some investigators talk and talk and not allowing the entity to speak. Robin, a sensitive detected a pathway from the first floor to the second floor used by the entities of the home. Below are some of our findings, the simpler findings, before things really got kind of spooky.

FINDINGS:
Note: Some of these findings may not have witnesses, or may just be considered as feelings. These type of findings are 'inconclusive'. Example: creaking noises throughout the house, this would be inconclusive, because anything such as pipes could make those creaking sounds. If I do not mention name of scout, it's because the scout does not want to be identified with a certain finding. You the reader, decide what finding is significant.

Creaking noises throughout the house.

John Shue the next day finds large scratch mark on his back.

Monica captures blue orb - photographic image.

Mr. X ask for knocks - group hears 2 knocks.

Scouts feel cold spots and electrical atmosphere.

John Shue, sensitive says that his pant's leg was grabbed.

Julie's new batteries die out.

Mr. X's facial cheeks feel hot and are warm to the touch.

More creaking noises are heard by various teams.

Muffled laughter heard in kitchen area.

Cold breeze is felt moving across living room.

Scout is compelled to take jacket off, felt something on jacket, then felt like breath was being taken away. Scout does not want to be identified on this finding.

Some scouts feel chills, coldness on various parts of their bodies.

Mr. X at one point of time feels dizzy.

EMF Reader goes off in closet area.

Odd noises heard in closet area.

Walkie Talkies go on by themselves and give static noise.

Some scouts feel confusion. Sensitive feels there is a little boy with brown hair - with bowl cut, almond shaped brown eyes. Sensitive feels father does not like his boy.

Sensitive feels one entity is inquisitive. That the entity is curious about us.

Sensitive feels little girl entity is shy when given attention, doesn't like to be called names, don't call her chicken, she has habit of pulling on ring finger, she is jumpy and fidgety, she is smart. Name Sarah comes in mind. Also a name starting with letter 'P'. Entity likes to lay on floor, coloring things, she is artsy, likes to play by window and at times can be vocal.

Marilyn Yeruef, neighbor comes over and explains that the house is 30 years old. That 2 people died here. A man and his Asian wife lived here, they ran a business from this house. The man died of a heart attack and the wife died of breast cancer. Julie Robinson - Scout felt a warm touch to her chest during this investigation, it happened to her twice. Could this be the touch of the Asian woman who died of breast cancer? Marilyn explains that conversations have been heard in the house and her 6 year old son Gabriel has drawn pictures of dead people from this house and the neighborhood, as if Gabriel sees dead people. He even draws dead animals, she showed me a drawing he did of dead people from the neighborhood.

Sensitives John Shue, LaShae, Kiki and Robin all felt there was someone who lived in this house, died by drowning. Robin felt a pressure on her chest, that may have indicated drowning.

Kiki and Robin pick up the letter W and later the name William. Kiki also picks up the name Ritchie and later the name Cappy.

Several audio digital recorders and one video camera pick up the following EVPs: growling noise. "Get out" - male voice. Whimpering noises. Girl crying noises. Little girl laughing.

EMF Readers go off at certain locations of the house. Duration of spikes: 5 seconds.

Veldena Ladson hears 2 taps on the dresser.

John Shue felt someone push him towards the closet.

Shawna Kinchen feels electrical energy around her body.

Humming or la, la, la sounds are heard by Shawna & John.

Alicia Campos gets an image in her mind, that there was once a child, age 6 in this house.

Mr. X1 felt cold spots in certain rooms, she came up with the name Sally in her mind. He heard moans, she heard 2 taps on the wall.

Mr. X2 smells something burning, he hears whimpering and crying..

Robert Mabalot when asking is there a presence in the room, a belt on its own accord drops from the closet and hits him on the head.
Some scouts felt a jump on the bed and felt the bed move or shake.

THE SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITY
Now here is where the fun begins. When Team IT went into a second floor bedroom, the belt fell on Robert's head in the closet. Debbie and I, were floaters and were checking up on each team. As I entered IT's location, I told the group I am seeing an orb with my naked eye. Robert's video camera picks up the orb I am seeing with his video camera. Photographs are taken around the house and many orbs are showing up on the digital cameras. I know, orbs are not significant, but I have more to tell, just hold onto your horses, the fun is almost here! While I am with Team IT, the whole team with their own ears hear a girl's laughter two times! Then the little girl phantom says "hi"! This is heard by all Team IT. When Team 'Can't Touch This' goes into this very same room, they hear knockings on the wall. Mr. X says, thank you for allowing us to know that you are here. The walkie talkie at that very moment comes on and a little girl's voice says "you're welcome". This was heard by all of Team Can't Touch This and it was picked up as a recorded EVP. Now for the real scary stuff, read what happens when we do the séance!

THE SEANCE

Three of the scouts are observers and do not participate in the séance. I have researched the methods of séances and conducted my very first séance. As we all held hands, I made a 'hedge of protection' prayer. A candle was lit in front of us. Mr. X tells the entities to make the flame go up and down for a yes and sideways for a no. We ask various questions and the flame seems to indicate 'yes' and 'no' and then a few times it seemed to be oblivious to our questions. I started talking and asked for the entities to please let us know that they were in the room. The walkie talkie comes on and a male's voice says "Get out!" or some scouts think it was a growl. Everyone participating in the séance screamed - well, except for me. Anah almost broke my hand from screaming so hard. As we regrouped, I said another hedge of protection prayer. We clasped hands again, since we broke the circle after this scream fest. I again asked the entities to make their presence known, over and over again and finally a LOUD screeching sound goes across the wall, again everyone is screaming and Anah is practically on my lap! We all hold hands tightly as knockings go across the wall. This was enough for the occupant and she asked for the séance to cease. I had to respect the wishes of the occupant and stopped the séance immediately and asked for a blessing to fall upon us all through prayer. Before I close on the séance, Alicia saw a moving orb in the room with her eyes and I saw a tiny orb go from Kiki's face to Julie's shoulder, with my own eyes.

Like I said, I have been to many, many investigations and only a few stand out and this is one of them! I had plenty of goosebumps running up and down my spine. Some of the scouts were going to spend the night, but after all the commotion, they were ready to pack up and head home. Enough was enough. I was hoping to have a séance during dead time at 3am, but unfortunately this investigation was now over. It was time to write my story.

All of the evidence has not been analyzed, so please look frequently at HPI Meetup at: http://ghosts.meetup.com/231/ and the HPI Website at www.hpiparanormal.net for other findings! Special Note: At the end of the night, we did pick up a trucker on the walkie talkies. What we heard on the walkie talkies before, almost sounded inhuman, except for the little girl that said "you're welcome". Of course Team IT actually heard the little girl laugh two times and say "hi" with their own ears, including me. That was no trucker.

Added Comments:
When we were conducting the seance and we heard the LOUD scratching sound on the wall, it instantly reminded me of Clive Barker's Hellraiser, when the Cenobites are summoned and the walls start opening. I thought at anytime, the bedroom wall was going to crack open. To get results like we did, always remember that entities feed off our energy. The more people you have, the more energy entities can gather. It's like going to a Van Halen concert and you can feel the energy of the crowd. Even rock stars say, they can feel the energy of the audience and the audience is able to feel the energy of their rock band. When doing a seance and you hold hands, you combine everyone's energy into a strong energy cell, entities are able to gather the singularity energy formed from the group and cause enhanced activity. This is why seances are conducted, to unite the energy of the group for the entities to feed upon. Now to another aspect of this investigation, the teams went into 3 sections of the house and spent the duration of one hour in each section before rotation.

The National Hotel by Iesha Bayona

2009-02-26T00:16:07Z

On January 10, 2009 myself, Iesha Bayona and friend, Colleen Barragan are off for a girls weekend! Destinations; The National Hotel in Jamestown, dinner & séance in Diamond Springs with Ghost Girls!

We arrived in Jamestown. As we drove through the main street, we felt as if we had taken a walk through time. Entering the hotel took us back to the Gold Rush era. The hotel; currently under renovation. Meant we would be the only guests that night! This was great news considering that we are here to meet the infamous spirit named “Flo”.

We checked into the hotel and went to put our luggage in our room # 1. As we settled in before leaving to Diamond Springs, I started with flash photography! Amazingly, I
Caught an orb in the 2nd picture taken. Upon further review I noticed that this self-illuminating light “orb” appeared to be a women’s face. Considering it is only mid-day. I know that the night ahead will be promising. And with that we were off to Diamond Springs.

Once we arrived we noticed our friend, Paul Dale Roberts directing the traffic out front. We parked our cars and met up with the group. We enjoyed dinner conversation with members of several groups organized by Nancy Bradley, Shannon McCabe and Paul Dale Roberts. This was so exciting as I have wanted to meet both Shannon & Nancy.

We went to check out the “vortex” located in the restaurant. When I stood in the area my body felt an electric charge and a little off kilter. It was time for the séance! We all sat in a back room of the restaurant where Nancy explained some of the pheaonoma that has been reported in that restaurant which was once a hotel. The séance was a success, I had two people come through with messages for me. Nancy also had everyone pull a slip of paper from an envelope; we were reading our animal totem. This is an animal spirit that guides us to accomplish a certain goal, upon that time the paper must be buried or burned so that it can release the spirit so it can continue to help others. This really hit home for me as I am Native American and totems are significant to my culture.

Upon arriving back at the hotel, we noticed that yes, we did have this beautiful hotel all to ourselves. We were exhausted from the day travels and decided we would just hang out on the bed and bring out the equipment. We were chatting amongst ourselves when Colleen suddenly noticed that a hanger located on a coat rack in front of us was swaying back and forth. The odd thing was that there were two hangers on separate hooks. Only one of them was moving. We hadn’t even went “lights out”!

I quickly pulled out my video camera and began to roll, I was feeling sensations throughout my body which gave me confirmation that there was a presence in the room with us. It was a comforting feeling, therefore there was no hesitation to make contact. I began to run an EVP session – no voices were captured but we had located “Flo”. She confirmed for us by moving that hanger (which I had put a necklace on earlier for her) in a defining way upon request. This request was answered twice on video by making the hanger sway more aggressively when I asked it to. We talked with Flo for awhile before she exited for the night. Then it was time to turn the lights off and go to sleep…before I did, I quietly turned on my audio recorder and placed it on the window sill next to me.

After I shut off the lights it was only minutes until Colleen was out. I was awake thinking of all the exciting events of the day. I turned over and was ready to close my eyes when I felt the bed move as if someone had sat behind me. It was only for a few minutes and then she was gone again. Shortly after, I felt another presence in the room. Intuition tells me it was not Flo, as this time I was uncomfortable with this energy. Not threatened, but definitely not comfortable. I closed my eyes and tried to go to sleep but I felt as if someone was watching me very closely. I opened up my eyes hesitantly looked about and saw nothing. I told myself I was being paranoid and went to sleep.

As the morning came I popped out of bed and grabbed my recorder. Colleen and I began chatting and laughing…We decided we would get up and get ready for our day. Colleen decided she would bathe in the old fashioned bath down the hall. I was playing it safe. I knew I encountered something mischievous before bed, and I explained to her that I did not want to have anything happen while I am in a “vulnerable” state, like naked! In my experiences when you have a “cheeky spirit” they love to catch you at those moments!

When Colleen came back to the room she looked a little bothered, she reported that while she was under the water in the tub she heard a noise, when she raised her head from the water she noticed the light switch had been turned off. She initially thought is was me playing a joke on her until she went to open the locked door….

While we were talking about that experience we got out some equipment and began to check for temperature readings, KII readings, etc. We began to communicate with Flo using the dowsing rods again, then within minutes she was gone, rather suddenly. Colleen and I felt suspicious as Flo was not leaving so abruptly the night before. We went to investigate out in the hallway when we heard something get turned on? We proceeded downstairs to see if there was anyone else in the hotel. When we started down the stairs I saw Colleen stop dead in her tracks…when I began to ask her what was happening I was interrupted by a sensation that made my words leave me. It was a electrical charge that made me feel as if a spirit had just run up the stairs through the both of us. We looked at one another with a huge smile, and began to compare notes about the event.

As we continued down the stairs we noticed that it was all still locked up tight, but the ceiling fans in the saloon were on full blast. That was the noise we had heard begin while we were at the top of the stairs. I pulled out the dowsing rods and attempted to make contact. To me it was clear that we were not dealing with Flo. I asked if “It” wanted us to leave. The tips of the rods magnetized with a YES. So I apologized for disrupting whomever was down there and we headed back to our room.

Colleen was picking up on the spirit of a man. She attempted to get Flo back so we could question her as to whom this male spirit was. As she asked questions with the rods I was taking pictures and rolling the video. This male spirit was pacing in every space after making the trip to the bottom of the stairs. It was clear that he was annoyed, we had bothered him. He paced the stairway and the front doorway to our room. I was able to capture orbs up and down the stairs. His presence led me to believe that this spirit was “beligerant” that is the description I received intuitively.

Colleen and I are talking about this questionable personality when she draws my attention to a “nightlight” located at the base of the wall. It appears to be flashing on in weird intervals that make no sense to our movements within the room. So I got the camera rolling, and we began to make contact with the male spirit through the manipulation of that light. We had really irritated this spirit, and with all the activity going on we decided that we would venture out and respect the male spirit.

Note from Paul Dale Roberts, Ghostwriter:

Findings are in route to you Paul!

Mariana Moscoso Interview, Sacramento Artist/Photographer/Moscoso Photography

2009-12-13T21:59:46Z

Interviewed by Paul Dale Roberts, Sacramento Press Journalist

Question: Before we really get into this interview, please tell me something personal about yourself. Your family life, where you were born and raised. Hobbies and recreational activities you are involved in besides your artistic photography.

Answer: First and foremost, I am the mother of a lovely six year old and I have to admit she is often times the subject of my personal photography. But I am a woman of many labels; I suppose my greatest desire is to be a renaissance woman. I want to do it all and experience it all! But there isn’t just enough time in life. Aside from photography, I have other artistic endeavors such as poetry and drawing. Possibly one of my favorite hobbies is learning languages. I really enjoy exploring the similarities and differences between them and of course speaking it! Speaking a new language is like solving a puzzle—it is so personally gratifying.

Question: How many languages can you speak?

Answer: Well obviously, I speak English and I am also a native Spanish speaker. I took four years of French in high school but I have to admit a little rusty. I started learning Italian in June and I really love it! So officially, I speak two but I like to think I speak four!

Question: How did you get into artistic photography? What type of art do you create?

Answer: This is a really difficult question because it wasn’t something that happened suddenly but it was a gradual evolution. I have to say that I am fascinated by people and language. I like to incorporate these two elements into my fine art photography as much as I can. And although photography is my main artistic endeavor, I also like to draw and paint.

Question: What is it that you paint? Now you have me really curious.

Answer: I like to paint words and shapes. Whenever I paint, I have to incorporate words because they are such an important aspect of our lives. It amazes me that these things we call letters are really only shapes that symbolize a certain sound which in turn is transformed into a meaning in our minds. It’s so fascinating! This is why I always include words in my paintings and symbolic imagery. There is always something to tell…

Question: What inspired you to get into this field?

Answer: Photography has been an interest for me for a very long time. My love began when I was in elementary school, when my parents noticed my love for the camera bought me my first point and shoot when I was in sixth grade. My photography has been developing ever since. In high school, I was highly influenced by the work of Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Weston. I knew then that I wanted to get into photography as my career, so I went to art school in San Francisco.

Question: What are some of the places you love to photograph in Sacramento?

Answer: I really like railroad yards and abandoned buildings. Though really, I just photograph whatever inspires me at any given moment. I should mention I love the tile at the State Capitol—what a great checkered pattern!

Question: What do you feel is the greatest achievement you have done with your work?

Answer: I think the greatest achievement I have done with my work is meeting other incredibly talented individuals in Sacramento through my photography. Sacramento is filled with so many amazing artists and I am constantly inspired by them and this city! I also have to admit that selling my first fine art piece was an extremely satisfying moment in my artistic career.

Question: Does your artistic photography have a message or meaning to it?

Answer: Oh yes, there is meaning! It really depends which series of photographs you are looking at. I have been working on a series of photographing graffiti for over five years. I think graffiti is the culmination of my two great loves: imagery and language. I am fascinated by the things that people say when they believe that they have anonymity. This further lead me to photographing bathrooms which is a place people really let loose with their thoughts and beliefs.

Another series I am working on is greatly inspired by the works of Edward Weston. It began with creating self-portraits of myself, but all small sections of my body. I called this series “My Landscape”, it was a series I began only for myself because I wanted to explore my physical terrain from different points of view and celebrate myself. It is a macro photography series where I wanted to explore the truth of myself. But as this project has evolved, I wanted to share my discoveries with others. I discovered that any exploration yields a multitude of interpretations to different people and now I want to explore other bodies to discover further truths. I just love how lines and shapes can create abstract images and how each image yields a story of its own!

Question: Please tell us something about your portrait photography?

Answer: I really feel privileged that when someone asks me to take their portrait. I know that portraits are so important in our lives because they mark special moments in our lives. This brings to mind one of my favorite quotes of Heracleitos, "No one steps into the same river, for what occurs in the next instant is never the same as the first." This is what photography is to me, it is the ability to capture a singular moment that has never occurred and will never occur exactly the same again. This is the singular most important reason why I love portrait photography.

Question: If people want to see your art, where can they find it? Do you have a website?

Answer: Yes, I have a website: www.marianamoscoso.com for anyone reading my interview should come pay me a visit! I also have a link to my blog if you are interested in my life behind the camera.

Question: Hey, off-the-record you mentioned you are traveling overseas. Where are you going? Is this a vacation or something else?

Answer: Oh, I am so excited! I am first going to Nicaragua which is where my mother is from. I am going to visit my family there for the holidays and then I will be going to Europe. I will be going to Amsterdam first and then I will be in Italy. Europe is pleasure and work.

Question: How can people contact you?

Answer: The best way to get a hold of me is through my website or my email moscoso.mariana@gmail.com

Question: You mentioned to me something about your love of art history. Can you elaborate?

Art history, oh art history! To say I love art is an understatement. I think that learning about art is absolutely exhilarating. My favorite epoch in art history has to be the art of fin de siècle (late 1800s) until the 1960s. With this said, I have gone back to school because I want to get my art history degree and possibly get into art curating.

Question: If someone has a request for some kind of artistic work, are you able to accommodate them?

Answer: Yes, I am! All someone needs to do is ask.

Question: Fun question….if you had 6 dinner guests, 3 historical and 3 fictional, who would they be?

Wow this is really hard and possibly one of the most eclectic groups of people. Three historical figures I would love to have dinner with are Diego Veláquez, a Spanish Baroque painter, Frida Kahlo, a Mexican painter of early 20th century, and Karl Marx, a Prussian philosopher…oh and I would have to have Friedrich Nietzsche and Niccolò Machiavelli. Do you notice a pattern? I really like philosophy. Sorry, I guess I am not very good with coming up with fictional characters…maybe Belle from Beauty and the Beast because she is smart and brave.

Question: Can I ask you another off-the-wall question? Did you nod ‘yes’? Cool, what is your favorite song?

You love hard questions! My favorite song is completely dependent on my mood but if I narrow it down to two, I would have to say “Mariposa en Havana” by Si*Se and “Wonderwall” remake of Ryan Adams. Ryan Adams really captures the mood of the song in a way that I feel really fits the lyrics.

Question: What are your favorite TV shows, movies, books?

Answer: I don’t watch TV. I don’t agree with it though I really do like movies especially foreign and indie films. I’m on a total Almodóvar and Fellini kick right now. As for books, I have so many that I love but I am going to be a girl right now and say that my favorite book is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I am a sucker for romance.

Question: Thank you for this fantastic interview. Do you have any words of wisdom for your readers?

Thank you so much for this interview! I’ve had a good time. My words of wisdom would be: Never stop dreaming because life would be nothing without imagination.

Interview with Noel Desilets, Paranormal Experiencer/Musician for Ash Black

2009-09-11T21:22:36Z

Noel Desilets is the drummer for the Sacramento based band called Ash Black. They will be performing at Witchapalooza at Cal-Expo on October 10th and October 11th, 2009. Below is her paranormal story. Paul Dale Roberts, HPI General Manager www.hpiparanormal.net

Question: First off tell us something about yourself. Maybe something about your family life, schools you may have attended, work that you do, etc.

Answer: Well I grew up in Tucson, AZ. I lived in the house I grew up in for most of life. My husband and I have been married for almost 18 years and we recently relocated to California to be closer to my mother. My father died about 9 years ago. As far as a job goes I work with people who are developmentally disabled and I provide home care for the elderly.

Question: You have a very interesting story. It appears that you have been experiencing the paranormal all your life, can you please explain how it started off?

Answer: Honestly I’m not sure when it started, it’s just always been an interest of mine since I was little. The thought of a ghost used to scare the crap out of me. After a few up close and personal experiences, I just chose not to be scared anymore. I can control the situation or I can be bullied by these unseen forces. Not that I believe all ghosts are bullies, I’ve had many wonderful experiences as well, but at one point of time I was being picked on.

Question: Please talk about some of the paranormal experiences that you have experienced throughout your life.

Answer: As I got older and started actually paying attention to what was going on around me, I realized that I could sense when there was a threatening, dark or evil (however you want to say it) presence that I may pick up on. I don’t think that’s a “unique” ability, I believe we all have it, we just don’t always acknowledge it.

One night I was home alone, and I felt very nervous and scared, so I slept with the hall light on….I was laying in bed and felt like something was wrong, I opened my eyes to a HUGE black shadow standing over me. Very demonic in form and it was reaching for me. I could see the form so well because it was perfectly back lit by the hall light. I immediately turned on my light and of course it was gone. I began to pray (I have a very strong faith in God) and I commanded it to leave my house and leave me alone. The house was immediately calm and so was I. I have had many experiences like that but more just feeling the evil around me, messing with me and it can be nerve wracking at times. I refuse to fear it and I fight it, I won’t be messed with.

For a more pleasant experience…As I mentioned before I lost my father. We were very close (as I am with my parents) and he literally died in my arms as I promised he would, (he had cancer). I kept telling him how I loved him, as he was in his last moments and everytime I did he took another breath, so my mom told me I needed to quit doing that and let him go. So that’s what I did and he took his last breath. A couple days later I arrived back in AZ with some stuff of his that I kept. I was sitting alone in the living room and I heard 3 distinct knocks on the door leading to the garage. No one uses that door, but my Dad always used it to go in and out, when he lived there. I opened the door and there was no one there. A few days later I was sitting with a friend in the living room and again and heard the 3 distinct knocks. I ignored it, waiting to see if she heard it also. Sure enough she said “Noel there’s someone at your door.” I said there wasn’t and she didn’t believe me so we went to the door and opened it and there was no one there….I said hi to my Dad and asked him too be cool, because he was scaring my friend (and he always loved to scare people).

One time I was working an overnighter at a home for adults with D.D. My staff told me the house was haunted, but I took it with a grain of salt until that night. I was in the office when I heard a blood curdling scream, something out of a horror movie. I ran through the house and checked on everyone and they were all sleeping. When I got back to the office there was that wicked feeling again and I could smell sulfur. I confronted it for the better part of 2 hours off and on. I was pissed because it wasn’t just me getting messed with, this entity was also messing with my clients and putting them at risk. It eventually left and no one ever had experiences in that house again.

Question: Why do you think that paranormal activities are part of your life?

Answer: I honestly don’t know.

Question: Do you think that the paranormal activities that you experience have something to do with your creative energy that you exert with your band Ash Black?

Answer: Possibly, I’ve never really thought about it. But my music is definitely my outlet. I write all the lyrics (for the most part) and they are based on personal experiences from all kinds of things. Our song “Fear” was written about the time in my life before I chose not to be scared of the paranormal and had a lot of nightmares and such.

Question: Does the band Ash Black have a website? How can someone contact you?

Answer: www.myspace.com/ashblacklist

Question: On a personal level, can you tell me about your recreational activities and hobbies besides playing in a band and ghosthunting on the side?

Answer: I like to work out with my mom, it’s good “mommy and me” time. I LOVE cartoons and collecting them on DVD. My favorite it is to sit in bed with my hubby and 2 cats and watch some “Superfriends”!

Question: You have some unusual tattoos, can you tell me what some of the tattoos represent?

Answer: I have one for my Father with a Columbian Red Tail boa and a black panther, we are a family of animal lovers and one point we had like 50 different kinds of snakes including the boa who was our favorite. Her name was Simon. I got one of a drunk turkey, yes I said turkey, with my grandfather’s name underneath “Virgil” He like to drink Wild Turkey. And course I have some of my favorite characters: Scooby Doo, Mickey Mouse, The Flintsones and The Jetsons. That’s just a few.

Question: This ends the interview, any words of wisdoms to our readers?

Answer: Fear is a natural reaction to what we don’t know…but we can choose not to let it control us. Face your fears, you’ll be stronger for it.

Note: Noel is a HPI Paranormal Investigator-in-training, tonight on Sept 11, 2009 is her first investigation with HPI. Good luck Noel.

Birthday Celebrations of Rita Reyes & Christina George

2009-03-22T21:55:55Z

Birthday Celebrations of Rita Reyes and Christina George

It seems like everyone’s birthday is in March. My sister Sharon Diane Roberts and my ex-wife Patricia Mary Boyd have birthdays in March. It seems that most of my employees at work have birthdays in March. What’s with March and everyone’s birthday? Well, I can’t answer that, but what I can answer is that birthdays are very special. It’s the celebration of life, it’s the celebration of the birth of a person, it’s a celebration of the accomplishments of that person, and it’s a celebration of the joy and positive reassurance this person has brought to our own lives.

This Saturday in March, we are celebrating the birthdays of Christina George and Rita Reyes. Two young ladies that have a zest for life. They open up hearts of everyone that they encounter with a simple smile. Their auras radiate an energy of harmony and enlightment. I am honored to know these two beautiful women and I looked forward to attending their birthday parties. To start this day off, Lia LaBella and Chantal Reyes show up at my house and we head off in my car to Christina George’s home first.

To see pictures from Rita Reyes/Christina George’s birthday parties, click here:
http://s459.photobucket.com/albums/qq319/HPI_International/reyesgeorge/

There were huge cheeseburgers, toasted hotdogs and barbeque ribs waiting for us. Christina was surrounded by people that have entered her life, people who cherish her friendship. I am bonded with Christina George, Rita Reyes, Mark Reyes and of course Lia & Chantal through HPI (Haunted and Paranormal Investigations International). It’s funny, because when we were socializing with Christina’s friends, the conversation turned towards the paranormal. Everyone is curious on the paranormal work that we do. It was delight to meet the people in Christina’s life. Since we had a second birthday party to attend, we left this home in Natomas and headed over to Rancho Cordova to meet up with Rita Reyes, her husband Mark and their family and friends.

Rita’s husband that has the personality and the looks of a young Robert DeNiro prepared a huge amount of food for everyone. I was already stuffed from the first birthday party and could only partake on the fruit dishes. As the night moved along it was time to some karaoke. Rita was not shy of the mike and started bellowing out a slew of songs, especially songs by Abba. What was amazing is that her voice was soft and smooth. She entranced her audience with a voice that would make Simon Cowell of American Idol blink. The atmosphere became festive as Chantal & Lia competed with Rita and I in the karaoke competition. Of course with my off tone voice, I threw Rita off. Well, I tried, I never did say I could sing.

We finally left this party and headed out to somewhere we could dance, this is when the night became somewhat odd. Mark, Rita, Chantal, Lia, Angela aka Pebbles and I headed over to a dance place south of Elk Grove. I will not mention the name of this establishment, because this is where the positive becomes the negative. Oh…you are probably wondering who Angela aka Pebbles is? This is Chantal’s roommate and we picked her up on our way to this unknown establishment.

When we arrived at this odd looking bar in this odd part of town, the patrons of the bar looked like a cross between The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Mad Max. One guy had enough tattoos on his neck to look like the back street roadmap of the Bronx. Other guys had piercings through their nostrils, eyelids and eyebrows. As soon as I walked in…I was saying to myself…”what the h?” Mark and I surveyed the crowd; there was definitely tension in the air. We are now here and the women are oblivious to the possible danger. Lia grabs me and we head up to the 2nd floor dance floor and start dancing. Lia is a former hip hop dance instructor and I am a former Arthur Murray’s dance instructor. Lia checks out my moves and says to me…”are you calling me out?” Before I know it, Lia starts dazzling the crowd with her slippery moves. I stand there watching and when she is finished, I throw down some quick James Brown foot movements and some dance situational poses and the crowd goes wild with screaming and applause for Lia and me. This is the only positive time I had in the nightclub. After the clamoring over our dance moves, the tension is back.

Two girls are arguing. One girl accuses another girl for messing around with her man. Both girls start slapping each other and before you know it, 20 people on the dance floor are fighting. The fight carries out into the street and there are 40 people in the brawling melee. There are even people driving by in their cars jumping into the fight. The scene looked like something out of the Siege of Abaden in Iraq. I will call this bar room brawl the March Madness Melee!

We left this bar before the danger became overwhelming; you never know who may be carrying a gun. I wonder if the economy is causing people to have high testosterone levels. After we left the March Madness Melee, we headed over to Denny’s to eat and relax from this night of celebrating birthdays! Happy birthday Rita and Christina, you are loved!

Trouble in China: Vampires & Ghosts

2009-02-01T10:26:56Z

Case # 0352093834. But, with this case, I need to do a follow-up, so henceforth the case number. Only the cases that I need to look back upon with a follow-up, get case numbers and this is one of them. The date is January 31, 2009, Saturday. This morning I get an urgent call from a mid twenties Asian girl that calls herself Sonye. Sonye is a science major at UC Davis and a foreign exchange student. She was born and raised in Shang-hai. Before, I talk about Sonye, let me tell you how my Friday went.

This has been a busy weekend, Gina De La Rosa (HPI Scout), met with me at Fanny Anns in Old Sacramento on Friday, where I tried to do some EVP work, then she showed me another haunted location in Old Sacramento, a nightclub called 2nd Grand Saloon - 200 K Street. My EVP work was unsuccessful this night, due to all of the human traffic in and around these areas. Izus Lohcins, a patron outside of 2nd Grand Saloon tells me that I need to check the place out late at night. Because around 4am, there are sounds of dancing and laughter. The sounds of a possible residual haunting. I left Old Sacramento and headed over to Strikes (a new bowling alley) in Elk Grove to go over my recordings using Audacity on my laptop. I found a quiet spot in the lounge to try and analyse any strange phenomenon that I may have recorded. No such luck. Friday was a disappointing night for ghosthunting.

Now that it is Saturday, I am hoping my urgent call will be something of interest. I meet with Sonye at Starbucks in Davis. Before Sonye begins the interview, she asks to talk with Valerie Rankin. She has heard about Valerie in my articles. I call Valerie and Valerie gives Sonye a reading over the phone. Sonye comes back after the phone conversation and begins her story. She tells me about the paranormal con artists of China. She tells me that on the streets of Shang-hai there are many people that claim to be psychics and can channel the deceased into their bodies. This allows the deceased to talk through their bodies. They of course have an expensive fee for the person that wants to talk to their deceased grandmother. Another paranormal con artist is the fortune teller that uses an assortment of coins to predict your future. Another fee is charged to the misfortunate and misinformed.

Besides the paranormal con-artists, I now wanted to know what was troubling this young lady. She tells me that her uncle is haunted by the Kuei. The Kuei are ghosts in China that have either died a violent death or committed suicide. These type of ghosts are evil. Her uncle encountered a Kuei one day in his apartment. The candle that was lit on his desk started burning green, this is a strong indication that the Kuei are nearby. He looked in the bedroom mirror and saw an apparition with a red hankerchief over it's face. After encountering this entity, her uncle had 3 years of misfortune fall upon him.

Another incident that happened in her family is when a Chiang-Shih (Chinese Vampire) attacked her young female first cousin. She tells me that a Chiang-Shih is usually a violent vampire that died a violent death during the commission of a crime. Her cousin one night was walking down an alley and a hopping corpse chased her down the alley. I asked Sonye why does this vampire hop? She tells me that a newly dead vampire is set in rigor mortis, so therefore it hops, because it cannot move it's limbs properly. Later on as a vampire, it will become more agile. She tells me that this type of vampire has a strong blood lust and is seen with large talons and fangs. It has such fetid breath. The breath of this vampire is so ghastly, it can make you pass out. To avoid this kind of vampire, she has learned that if you hold your breath, it may walk right past you, because it seeks out its victims by smelling the victim's breath. She goes on to tell me that the vampire that was following her cousin was attacked by this vampire. The attack was sexual.

The reason Sonye wanted to meet with me is to find out the results of my investigation in San Francisco, when I interviewed vampires. She wanted to know if I believe in ghosts and vampires and she wanted to know my encounters with ghosts and vampires. I told her that the vampires I interviewed in San Francisco believe they are vampires and it may all be a mental delusion that they are having. I truly did not think they are real vampires. Do I actually believe in real vampires? Perhaps, but I have never encountered one. Are there ghosts? From my experience as a paranormal investigator, I would have to say that there appears to be life after death. I have encountered many ghostly activities since I have been a paranormal investigator.

After I fully explained my answers to Sonye and told her about some of my paranormal adventures, she felt satisfied knowing that perhaps her uncle and cousin did encounter something truly paranormal and that they are not losing their minds.

After my meeting with Sonye and as I walked alone into the Davis twilight night, I thought I glimpsed a pale young man. Someone yelled...Edward...Edward Cullen! I thought to myself, this couldn't be THE Edward Anthony Mason Cullen, bio: DOB: June 20, 1901. Status: Vampire. Date of Transformation: 1918. Special Abilities: Ming Reading, Super-Speed and Extraordinary Strength. Nah...just my mind playing tricks on me. I've been watching too many movies.

Interview with James Rubino, Creator of Ancient Tales from the Future.

2009-01-04T21:19:44Z

Interview with James Rubino, Creator of Ancient Tales from the Future.

Interviewed by: Paul Dale Roberts, Publisher www.jazmaonline.com

Question: Tell us something personal about yourself, your family life, schools you went to, etc.

Last year I began working on a project I’ve wanted to do for quite awhile- retelling the story of my life in “segments”- essentially for the benefit of my children. I published the first book “Stories from my childhood” in 2008 and sent it to a handful of longtime friends. It was very well received. If there’s enough interest I may release it to the general public as well. Now I’m working on the second book- stories from my teen years. My goal is to finish one book in this series per year.

Question: What was the first comic book you ever read?

The second-hand DC and Charlton war comics passed along to me by my older brother Joe.

Question: How did the concept of “Ancient Tales from the Future” (ATFTF) come about?

I’ve always felt that the kids of today have a difficult time relating to the Biblical stories replete with camels, tents and robes. They are not in our experience. I wanted to take the same characters and events and place them in a futuristic setting which would be of interest to today’s generation of readers. “Jonah 2056” is the first of that series.

Question: What was the motivating factor for ATFTF?

I wanted to do a comic that expressed my feelings about God but in a creative, entertaining manner- not “preachy”.

Question: Will there be other issues?

I hope so. I have several of them plotted already.

Question: Is there a message you are trying to relate to the readers with this comic book?

I think there’s a lot in the story of Jonah. It tells of a very human person not a little tin god like the religious figures and political demagogues of today.

Question: Do you have anything else in the works?

“Followers of the All” #1, an allegorical science-fiction series, is scheduled to come out this Spring, God willing. I’d also like to release “Tales from the Seventh Galaxy” #3 and a couple of other books this year as well.

Question: I know you know, that I am the President of Jazma Online! But, you may not realize that I am also the General Manager and a paranormal investigator for H.P.I. (Haunted and Paranormal Investigations) of Northern California at www.hpiparanormal.net and I am their ghostwriter. Anyway, I must ask you an off-the-wall question. Have you ever had a paranormal experience and if you did, can you tell us about it?

I really had to put on my thinking-cap for that one. It’s not an experience I had directly but it was very unusual. My grandparents had a very close relationship and when my grandfather died my grandmother was very distraught. Later she related to me a story of what she said happened to her shortly after his death. She was sitting up in bed one afternoon when all of a sudden she felt very strange. She then saw my grandfather sort of “float” into the room. He was still wearing his hospital garments and my grandmother said the little tie-strings were fluttering as if in a breeze. She was startled and called out a term of endearment she’d always used with him. He simply looked at her and gently smiled. Then he “floated” back out the doorway and was gone. After that she said she felt at peace because she knew he was happy and had come to reassure her. Coming from my grandmother who was a very serious-minded, no-nonsense German woman whom I had never heard make a religious comment in her life- yes, I believe it did happen.

Question: What conventions will you be attending or have attended?

I’ve never been to one, believe it or not.

Question: How can someone contact you?

They can email me at: jaruarts@juno.com or write me at PO Box 760351, San Antonio, Texas 78245.

Question: Do you have a website, and if you do what is the URL address?

www.jamesrubino.com

Question: What are your hobbies and recreational activities?

Mostly hanging out with my kids. We have a lot of fun together. Other than that, reading or drawing.

Question: If you can have 6 dinner guests, 3 fictional and 3 real-life from any time period, who would those 6 people be and why?

To be honest, there’s no one I’m terribly interested in meeting- other than Jesus Christ- there’s a lot of things I’d like to ask him.

Question: If you could go into a time machine, what year would you stop at and tell us why.

It’s funny- that’s a question I’ve asked many people. I guess it comes from being dissatisfied with our present lives or the present world. For me, I’d like to go back to 1950 as an adult and relive the twenty year period from 1950-1970. There were so many wonderful things that were produced during that time- comic books, classic paperbacks, TV shows, science-fiction movies. And it was just a nicer time period.

Question: What TV shows, movies, cartoons do you like?

Mainly I watch shows with my kids. Children’s movies. I picked up the “Leave it to Beaver” DVD set and they loved it. Also, “Snow White and the Three Stooges” went over real big recently.

Question: What books do you enjoy?

I love to read. Mostly science-fiction books from the 40’s and 50’s or true-life survival stories. Also true espionage or wartime escape accounts.

Question: What comic books do you read now?

I like the “Marvel Essentials” series which reprints the old Marvel Silver Age comics in black & white. It really showcases the beauty of the art.

Question: What gives you your creative energy?

That’s always come from within- it’s part of who I am. I could sooner stop breathing than stop creating.

Question: If ATFTF became a movie, who would play the main character parts and why?

I’d like to see “Jonah 2056” done as a high-quality animation similar in style to the “Barbie” movies style of realistic animation.

Question: This ends the interview, any encouraging words of wisdom?

I think it was the Chinese who said, “the longest journey begins with the first step”. Goals can be achieved but they require taking one step at a time- plus a lot of patience and perseverance!

HPI Chronicles: The House of Nightmares!

HPI Chronicles: The House of Nightmares
By Paul Dale Roberts, HPI General Manager/Ghostwriter

Shannon 'Ms. Macabre' McCabe got the call on this case via our HPI hotline. Shannon notifies me and asked if I wanted the case. My answer was simple. "Yes".

Before I get into this story, if you want to see pictures of this investigation, click on this link:
http://s459.photobucket.com/albums/qq319/HPI_International/Nightmares/

I heard the frantic anxiety in his voice. The call was taken at 4:00am. Kareem Butler: "Paul, when are you coming down here?" Paul: "Soon, I will be at your home on January 2, 2009, Friday at 7:30pm." Kareem: "Paul, it's getting out of control, the entity calls itself Al and it text messaged me and said that it was going to kill my family! It has also threatened one of my children and said we are all going to die! We are seeing black misty shapes, shadows darting here and there, the TVs turn on by themselves. The lights go off and on. It also tries to speak through my cell phone! We need your help!" Paul: "Hang in there brother, we'll be down tomorrow, tomorrow is Friday!"

Friday is here and I assembled my HPI Paranormal Task Force. Paranormal Investigator Roll Call: Jen S., Kathy & Tom, David Mace, Angela Fellines, Face aka Leatherface aka Telly Blackwood, Tammy Straling, Valerie Rankin. Lead Investigator: Paul Dale Roberts. Everyone has a role in this investigation. Jen S, Kathy & Tom, Tammy Straling with their superb paranormal investigating skills. Tammy also does secretarial work for me and takes on the role as a case manager, calling the client and retrieving needed information for our investigation. Kathy is one of the sensitives of my group. David Mace handles all the technical analysis, he became technical savvy from the work he does with his real job. He also is a superb researcher in gathering data on the history of the land and history of the houses we investigate. Valerie Rankin is a psychic from the bay area and is knowledgeable about cleansing homes. Angela Fellines is a professional in the metaphysical arts and also knowledgeable about blessings/cleansings. As for Face, this was his actual first time working in the capacity of a paranormal investigator and not in the role of media/videographer. Face prepared himself with temperature gauge, night vision goggles, video camera, EMF Reader.

Equipment Used: temperature gauges, EMF readers, video cameras, digital audio recorders, regular tape recorders, Listen Up Sound Enhancers, K2 readers, flashlights, Toshiba laptop.

For the cleansing/blessing of the home, we were equipped with: holy water, crucifix, rosary beads, sage, vibrating sound bowls, cleansing salts.

Occupants that greeted the HPI Paranormal Task Force were: Kareem Butler and his wife Megan Butler. Kareem's sister Cassandra Celestine.

The home is a two-story home. According to Kareem most of the activity centers around a tent in the backyard, the 2nd floor and at times the living room. On this night, we would have 2 free-for-all roaming investigations for the investigators to explore the home on their own. Later we would break up the group into two teams. One team to explore the 2nd floor and the other team to explore the first floor, backyard, front yard, garage. Later we would switch areas, so all teams will have the chance to fully explore and investigate the home. During the time we are prepared to switch into different areas, there would be a brief meeting with the occupants to see what sort of evidence we were gathering. After this investigation is over, Valerie Rankin would cleanse the home using salts and sage. Angela Fellines would do a blessing/cleansing using her vibrating sound bowls, meditation and sage burning.

I was prepared to execute a Catholic blessing, but it was not necessary in this case.

After the investigation, blessings and cleansings were done, I had a final debriefing with all of the investigators with occupants present. Interviewing each investigator, this is what I discovered and evidence was presented to the occupants:

Tom: No EVPs gathered, but Tom felt cold spots. Witnessed a moving shadow that resembled a bird or a mask on the ceiling.

Kathy: Witnessed a shadow moving in the closet on the 2nd floor. Gathered two EVPs. One that sounded like a screeching and the other EVP that said "huh?" Some photographs show orb activity. Note: Orb pictures are inconclusive. Another photograph that Kathy took, there is a red glare on the closet ceiling, 2nd photo there is no red glare. A very unusual photograph that Kathy took shows a shadow anomaly. I can only describe it as a big black glob. 2nd photograph there is no big black glob.

Tammy Straling: Felt cold spots. Gets EVP of an older woman saying: "Reach out and pick it up!"

Jen S.: Felt cold spots, received goosebumps from the experience. One room she noticed it got darker and lighter for no apparent reason. Her camera for a while, did not work properly.

Face: Takes photograph in the living room, an anomaly shows up in the photograph that appears to be a black and reddish mass near a large painting. Status: Needs further analysis.

Angela Fellines: Felt cold spots. Most of this whole night, she worked on cleansing the home.

Paul Dale Roberts: No photographic anomalies were taken. Two EVPs. I asked the question, what is your name and got back a man's voice saying Tashiba or Tasha. Occupant says her daughter is named Tasha. 2nd EVP sounds like whispering, inaudible.

David Mace: Felt cold chill down his spine. At times he felt lightheaded at the stairwell. Felt cold spots. He had electronic problems with his equipment. Example: His flash would not recharge. Picked up what he heard were footsteps in the closet. David discovers a cell phone tower 500 feet from the house. This could be the strange noises that sound like electronical voices over Kareem's cell phone, something that Tammy and I, both heard while talking with Kareem.

Tonight, I was prepared for many blessings/cleansings of this home, in case the black mass or black shadows that the family was witnessing could be demonic. A close family member died in this home and the activity seemed to become active after his demise.

An interesting aspect of this case is that Valerie Rankin picked up that someone in this family didn't know how to make cornbread. She also picked up the State that this family was from. She also described clothing that certain family members would wear for certain occasions. I interviewed the occupants and they said she had all the information correct. I talked with Valerie and she thought that there was an American Indian that would watch over this family from the backyard window. It is rumored that this land was built over an American Indian graveyard and other homes in the area were proclaimed haunted. Four neighbors of the Butlers moved away, because they claimed their homes were haunted. This area according to Kareem is one of the most haunted areas of Stockton.

As my investigate team were busy conducting their investigation, I looked over my notes that David Mace provided me. This is what David discovered in his own words:

"I spent hours doing research on the Internet without a lot of luck. I did find that Stockton does have a lot of history with Satanic type rituals, groups, etc. I even found articles back to 1923, one dealing with the murder of a Satanic cult leader. However I have not found anything related directly to this location. Just prior to this housing complex being built, it was a somewhat remote orchard of some kind. The client's house would have been located almost directly in the middle of it.

The other avenue I looked at was the native Americans than lived in the area.

When Europeans arrived, they found the Yatchicumne, a group of Northern Valley Yokuts people, living in the Stockton area. The Yokuts built their villages on low mounds to keep their homes above floods. A Yokuts village called Pasasimas was located on a mound between Edison and Harrison streets in Stockton. When Europeans arrived in northern California, many Native Americans were forced into missions or died from new diseases. However, many Native American people still live in San Joaquin County today.

*_Other Interesting facts:_*

Daughters of Satan, Stockton
<http://groups.msn.com/DaughtersofSatanStockton> (73 members) The Daughters of Satan in Stockton. This was a group by Mery V. Simpson & Jeanetta Erdman, They were Satanists teaching Satanic ways for Satanic Men & Women using spells and witchcraft for lustful things. Then there was the Gay Leather Men & Women of The Willing, Selling your soul has never been so easy. The Church of Leviathan has made a pact with Satan and now they host his personal black book of souls. Mery v Simpson - Mother was known as De Bruid van Satans The head of her Coven was Dochters van Satan. Upon her death Mery A. Simpson was the Satanic Priestess renamed the Coven The Daughters of Satan and was known by her true name Mery V. Simpson as one day her daughter Sara Ann Sevenson of Akron Ohio will head this coven and the number would be in the 1000's according to Mery Simpson of Stockton.

The Manson Family had been in Stockton and may have been involved in at least one murder there. There are still many missing persons that associated with the family.

Anyway... hope Tammy can find more relevant information.

Dave Mace"

After this investigation was over, I looked over the material we already have. Here are my findings and conclusion.

FINDINGS:
Numerous EVPs are gathered. Photographic anomalies are discovered. Photographs need further analysis. Other evidence is still pending from the investigators.

CONCLUSION:
From the EVPs that we gathered this night, I do believe there is some type of paranormal activity in this house. Some of the photographs are quite unusual, especially the one that Face took of a black reddish mass and Kathy's shadow glob. We sought out demonic activity and no demonic activity was detected, but there appears to be ghost activity in this home.

DISCLAIMER: Some of the team members are proclaimed psychics, sensitives or intuitives. Whatever you may wish to call them. HPI seeks out a scientific approach in discovering the truth, but we do keep an open mind in the use of psychics, sensitives or intuitives. Even when a psychic, sensitive or intuitive may pick up something and it appears accurate, HPI cannot use this as evidence that paranormal activity does exist.

This ends our investigation for tonight, but look for the final results at the HPI website in regard to this investigation. Below, are some fun theories, that I have came up with. Enjoy!

Creating our Own God.
Is it possible to create our own god? The answer is yes. The Internet is a vast cyberspace universe teeming with information. What if we placed true artificial intelligence into a desktop computer? The artificial intelligence unit would connect with the Internet super highway and absorb all knowledge of the Internet. You would have a pure energy god that now has every tidbit of information that is flowing on the Internet. We would have created our own god. May this god be benevolent or malevolent? One day we may encounter this and find out.

What are Ghosts?
Did you know that we lose 21 grams at the instance of death? What are those 21 grams? Is it access skin, blood, gas? No, it's the energy that we generate everyday leaving our bodies. Kirlian photography has shown an energy mist leaving the body of a recently deceased person that seemed to be exiting the forehead area. Could this energy contain all the knowledge of the deceased person? Could the intelligence remain with the energy? The energy would be the deceased person’s aura. I would say...why not? On the Quantum level, our matter bodies are pure energy. We are made up of atoms. Our material bodies harbor intelligence, so why couldn't our energy auras harbor intelligence too? Einstein says that E=MC2, energy can be converted into matter and matter can be converted into energy. So it would seem logical that energy can be transformed from our material bodies into an energy aura. Our own material existence is baffling, but here we are, we exist. If we exist, why can’t ghosts exist? The existence of ghosts would appear logical.

One more time: Information Just in on the House of Nightmares:
Wow! I thought this House of Nightmares story was ended for now, but got this late night email from one of my investigators, here is what David Mace says in his own words:

"Paul,

An interesting ending to the investigation. I got home at about 12:15 AM. I walked in the door and started to take my shoes off when my home phone rang. No one was there. I looked at my cell phone and noticed that it had called my home phone. No big deal, I obviously hit a speed dial button while taking off my shoes. I put on my robe, put my phone on my dresser and went out to check the TV. About three minutes later my home phone rang again. I answered it and no one was there again. I went back into the bedroom and sure enough, laying on the dresser was my cell phone dialed up to my home. My cell phone does not have an automatic redial option. My wife was laying in bed and she said she heard the cellphone beep just before the house phone range. This time I turned my cell phone off. I have no idea how that happened. Perhaps someone wanted me to know that my cell phone tower theory wasn't correct. Have a good evening.

Dave Mace"
