THESE ARE TRUE AND VERY SCARY!
WE ARE 12 AND WE EXPERIENCED A GHOST IN MY HOUSE.IT WAS NOT THAT LONG AGO
,DURING THE SUMMER, AND WE WERE STAYING AT MY HOUSE ALONE.WE WERE SCARED
THAT SOMEBODY WAS IN MY HOUSE SO I WENT TO SHUT AND LOCK MY BACK DOOR LEADING
TO MY PATIO. I MADE SURE IT WAS LOCKED AND I WENT BACK ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER
AND IT WAS CRACKED.THAT WAS ONLY THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED.
SECONDLY,I WAS GOING TO MY FRIEND'S HOUSE AND I FORGOT MY JACKET.SO,I CAME
BACK INSIDE TO GET IT.MY ROOM IS IN THE VERY BACK OF THE HALLWAY AND I WAS
STANDING IN THE FRONT OF THE HALLWAY(LOOKING TOWARD MY ROOM).AND MY DOOR
BEADS STARTED TO SHAKE AS IF SOMEONE HAD WALKED THOROUGH THEM.NOBODY WAS
BACK THERE EXCEPT ME AND I DID NOT WALK THROUGH MY ROOM YET,BUT STILL,THAT'S
NOT IT.
I WAS IN MY MOM'S ROOM WATCHING TV AND WE HAD JUST CUT IT OFF.I WAS LAYING
DOWN AND I COULD HAVE BEEN IMAGINING IT BUT I WASN'T.I HEARD BREATHING NEXT
TO ME ON THE LEFT AND MY MOM WAS ON THE RIGHT.I THOUGHT IT WAS MY DOG BUT
SHE CAME RUNNING DOWN THE HALL GROWLING TOWARDS ME-LIKE THERE WAS SOMETHING
NEXT TO ME AND THEY SAY DOGS CAN SEE GHOSTS!
WHEN I WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD I SAW A WOMAN STANDING AT MY DOOR.I THOUGHT IT
WAS MY MOM BUT IT WAS TOO TALL.SHE HAD GRAY HAIR AND A WHITE GOWN ON.EVER
SINCE THEN I'VE BEEN HAVING NIGHTMARES ABOUT HER LOOKING FOR HER SON AND
HER HUSBAND KILLED HIM,BUT SHE DID NOT KNOW IT WAS HER HUSBAND AND KILLED
OTHER PEOPLE.THOSE DREAMS WERE CONTINUOUSLY GOING ON IN CHAPTERS-----FREAKY!
THERE IS STILL MORE.
ONE NIGHT WE DID A SEANCE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY GHOSTS PRESENT.(WE WERE
VIDEO TAPING IT ) THE CANDLE FLICKERED .WE ASKED THE SPIRIT QUESTIONS AND
WE WERE RECORDING IT.WHEN WE PLAYED IT IT WAS WHISPERING THE ANSWERS TO OUR
QUESTIONS.THEN,WHEN WE PLAYED THE VIDEO TAPE THERE WERE LINES RUNNING THROUGH
THE TAPE THEN A FIGURE OF A PERSON APPEARED.SORRY BUT THATS NOT ALL.
YOU MAY NOT THINK THIS IS SCARY, BUT...I WAS STANDING ON MY FRONT PORCH ONE
DAY AND I WAS JUST STARING AT THE GRASS,FLOWERS AND PLANTS.I WENT DOWN INTO
MY YARD AND I SAW A FIGURE OF A GUY IN MY GLASS DOOR.ONLY A LITTLE BIT MORE...
I SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST. ONE TIME WHEN I WAS EIGHT OR NINE I HEARD A BIG
THUMP COMING FROM THE ATTIC.I LIVE IN A ONE STORY HOUSE WITH AN ATTIC.ANYWAY...
I HEARD IT AGAIN AND AGAIN-LIKE LOUD ,HEAVY FOOTSTEPS! I RAN AND WOKE UP
MY PARENTS AND MY DAD SAID HE DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING-IT HAD STOPPED.HE OPENED
THE ATTIC AND SAID FOR ME TO CLOSE IT WHEN I WAS DONE LOOKING.I STARED AND
PONDERED FOR A WHILE WHEN SUDDENLY...WHOOSH! AN ORB FLEW OUT OF MY ATTIC
SO I CLOSED IT AND RAN SCREAMING TO MY ROOM,I TOLD MY PARENTS MY BROTHER
SCARED ME BUT THATS NOT WHAT IT WAS.I STILL REMEMBER ALL OF THIS AND AS I
GROW OLDER I WILL NEVER FORGET IT!

A Haunting in Jackson
By Paul Dale Roberts
This is my first time experiencing a true paranormal investigation. Call us
ghost hunters, ghost busters, ghost tracers, but to be more formal, we can
be called paranormal investigators. The outfit is called H.P.I. (Haunted
and Paranormal Investigations) of Northern California. The president is the
lovely Shannon McCabe. Shannon is a unique individual that also is a
vocalist and is involved with vocal lessons, recording, band management and
bookings, event planning, floral design and has a website at
www.SnMPProductionsCo.com or www.MySpace.com/SnMProductionsCo. This
talented woman also seeks the truth of hauntings and maintains a skeptical
mind on all events that are witnessed by her outfit H.P.I. She seeks a
scientific explanation, or when all scientific possibilities are eliminated,
it leaves only one answer. The paranormal. January 20, 2007, Saturday, I
found myself arriving at The National Hotel, 2 Water Street, Jackson, CA.
Roll Call for H.P.I. Investigators that don't mind having their names
disclosed were: Shannon McCabe, President; Brian Colbert; Julie English;
Paul Dale Roberts; Mary Casiano; Anne Temple (Spiritual/Psychic Reader);
John Wachter; Jonathan Russell; Alicia; Michelle Paykel. There were 28
H.P.I. paranormal investigators and other names will be withheld for their
privacy. The National Hotel in Jackson, California dates back to the 1800s.
Guests of the hotels have witnessed many paranormal events. The total
number of entities in the hotel have been documented to a big 30. When I
arrived, their was a band playing and patrons gyrating on the dance floor to
rock and roll and R&B. One of the buzzed patrons yelled out..."happy ghost
hunting!" The HPI investigators were setting up video cameras in all
locations of the floors of the hotel. The lap tops were turned on to
analyze electronic voice phenomenon. In one recording you could distinctly
hear a female voice say the word 'chill'. I became familiar with a Gauss
aka E.M.F. (electro magnetic field reader). Brian Colbert, another
paranormal investigator briefed me on a Tempgun, which detects the influx of
temperature. Very good in reading 'cold spots'. When the band and patrons
left, the lights went out and the investigators had access to more rooms.
In one room called The Bordello, I felt a thickness in the air. When
leaving this room and returning perhaps an hour later, the thickness was
gone. Armed with my digital camera, I took pictures of various areas of the
hotel. The method is to take two pictures of each area, so there is no
misinterpretation of the picture taken. The spirits must have been
attracted to Julie English. She took many photos with her digital camera
and picked up many 'orbs' in her photographs. Julie English at 1:52am took
a photograph of a bath towel in Room 55 and an orb appeared in the photo.
She snapped another photo of the bed in Room 55 and another orb appeared.
I snapped photos of the same areas and no orbs appeared on my photographs.
One unsubstantiated claim was that intuitive Anne Temple claimed that a
little girl made her presence known and followed John Wachter. During this
incident an electronic magnetic field monitor device was used and witnessed
by Michelle Paykel. The little ghostly spirit of the girl that followed
John Wachter whispered 'Cindy'. Some of the patrons of the bar were curious
on what H.P.I. was doing and one patron, name unknown claimed he was a
psychic and claimed an angry man entity was walking up and down the hallway
and that he was angry. This entity was mumbling gibberish and was
completely incoherent. The psychic patron claimed this was a troubled
spirit. Anne Temple followed up to say that he smoked a cigar and that he
was yelling 'get out'. The patron psychic said he was 5' 10", average aged
man with an ethnic background. Observing the patron psychic, I detected
that he was somewhat intoxicated. There was a time he was glass eyed and
standing up against the wall. Shannon McCabe asked him...'what's wrong?'
He later told me that he receives headaches when there are too many ghosts
around. One of the investigators asked him to leave, because we felt he was
hindering on our investigations.
Shannon McCabe showed me around to various rooms. She is a seasoned
investigator and as we sat in the dark, she would entice the spirit to show
itself. While Shannon was trying to detect any Electronic Voice Phenomenon,
any kind of noises that were being made, she would make the
comment..."someone's footsteps are being heard" or "Paul coughing", so there
is no confusion on what those noises are. Shannon enticed a spirit named
"Jeffrey" and I snapped one photo over the bed area and captured 2 orbs on
my camera. I snapped again, in the same direction of the orbs and there
were no more orbs present in the 2nd photo. This was in Room 52 of the
hotel. One of the lady workers of the hotel related all kinds of ghost
stories to us. She told us how a crashed echoed throughout the hotel,
sounding like broken glass or broken wood and when walking into the room
where the sound came from, they found no broken glass or wood. She
explained that rooms with many sightings, were rooms 61, 47 and 45. One
room, a cowboy male ghost is seen and that this ghost once told a little
girl with a video camera...'run bitch!' Shannon and about 4 other
paranormal investigators sat in that room, trying to entice the cowboy
ghost. We had no results in this room. I later sat in this room by myself
and felt no presence. I even dared to sit in dark closets by myself and
even investigated the attic and no results. One unidentified woman
paranormal investigator took a photo and got a misty white cloud on her
digital photo. Michelle Paykel took a digital photo and a white blob
appeared on the staircase digital photo. At 4:20am, more digital photos
were taken in Room 60 and orbs appeared on the photographs. The final story
for this evening occurred in Room 47, the infamous Bordello Room with it's
lavish provocative maroon decor and mirrors. This story is related to me by
Mary Casiano, Jonathan Russell and Anne Temple, the Spiritual Reader of
www.Bluepantherspirit.com/ They witnessed or experienced everything from a
poke in the neck, whispering, hair pulling, tugging on hair, a touch or
brushing of the face, hands feeling cold, hair pushed back. Jonathan
Russell claims he was sitting on a chair and felt a pressure on his lap and
even felt like he was being groped. I went into the Bordello Room by myself
and sat in the same chair as Jonathan. I sat in there for a good 20 minutes
and experienced nothing. The only thing I experienced in this room, was
earlier in the evening, I felt a thickness in the air. Overall this was a
fun learning experience and I hope our next investigation into a haunting
will produce some exciting results. All digital photographs and Electronic
Voice Phenomenon will be analzed. The results are pending. For anyone
interested in this field! Like the patron told me...."Happy Ghost Hunting!"
