The Haunting in Herald

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.

Note: Face aka Telly Blackwood of Off-the-Hook TV is filming this event exclusively for Lionsgate. Face was once involved with Viva La Bamm, Jackass and MTV.

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.

Haunted Home on 12 Mile Road – Quintett

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!

The day is Feb 18, 2008, Monday – President’s Day and my home phone is ringing off the hook. I thought to myself…”who would be calling me this early in the morning on my home phone, no one calls me on my home phone, they call me on my cell phone!” I pick up the phone and it’s my step-son Jason Randall Porter. Jason tells me to turn on CNN News, that the oil refinery in Big Springs, Texas blew up. Sure enough, it was all over CNN News. Jason took some excellent photos of the explosion and I told him to submit the photos to CNN and to CoasttoCoastAM.

I get an email from Tom Danheiser, Assistant Producer of CoasttoCoastAM and he gives me his telephone number to call him. Not thinking that Jason submitted the photos to CoasttoCoastAM, I call Tom. I am thinking that he wants me on the show to talk about H.P.I. (Haunted and Paranormal International) or that he wants to talk about my latest article “The Elusive Science of the Paranormal”. I am thrilled. Tom tells me he actually wants to interview Jason about the Oil Refinery Explosion in Big Springs, Texas. What the @#$%?

Okay, this is my son, we’re talking about, it’s okay with me. Tom tells me that I am the back-up for the show, in case Jason doesn’t want to do the interview. I tell him that’s fine. Anyway, it’s midnight in Texas when CoasttoCoastAM calls Jason and Jason is dead asleep. They call me exactly at 10pm. A lovely sounding lady tells me to hold on for George Noory. George is busy talking about the oil refinery explosion and finally he comes on and says, I have Paul Roberts on the line, the father of Mr. Anonymous (he is referring to Jason – Jason doesn’t want to disclose his name, because his stepfather who is a chemist at the oil refinery could lose his job if he talks with the media). George says…”Paul, are you there, Paul? Paul?” The lady interrupts and said, “George, we are having phone problems”. Then some guy is talking with George and George says, so you are the father of Mr. Anonymous? The guy says: “Nope, you got the wrong dude, you just happened to be on the phone.” George finally gives up and the lovely sounding lady tells me..”Sorry, Paul..George wants to move on with the show.” I almost got on Coast-to-CoastAM….sigh. I was going to do a sly one and discuss HPI after talking about the Oil Refinery Explosion.
