HPI Chronicles: West Roseville: Why is this Area So Haunted?

Date: January 22, 2009, Thursday. I am still on vacation, after my trip to Aruba and Venezuela. I am taking a vacation from the vacation, getting rested up, I have until the end of this week and then I go back to work on Monday. When I am at home for my vacation, I love sleeping in. But, today is an exception, I am up early and its 9:30am and I am here sitting at a Starbucks waiting for my client TJ. TJ lives in a new home in West Roseville and her home is haunted.

I am preparing the interview process and will be asking TJ a series of questions. TJ has just walked in. With soft brown eyes, she gently extends her hand to shake my hand. TJ has an interesting story to relate to me. She tells me that her home was built in 2005. There are rumors that pagan rituals have taken place on the property area, where TJ’s home was built at. When TJ moved into her home, she got sick instantly, she felt like her life energy was sucked out of her. In one incident as she pulled up into her driveway she has felt like her head was in a vice and she has had some extreme headaches. She has had several various attacks, in which she feels ill.

Some of the activity that she has witnessed in this home are: a) vision of a little girl with golden blonde hair hanging by her neck from the ceiling, b) watching a girl with long silky brunette hair either 14 to 20 years of age walking up the stairs, she was unable to see her face, c) seeing a full body apparition that appeared to look like the Ice Witch of Narnia, that appeared to be watching TJ and her children, d) 3 shadowy entities in the shape of humans moving while attached to the walls, e) hearing footsteps and objects being moved around by unseen forces, f) when first moving into the home, TJ found rocks set in formation in odd ways, like peculiar lines or in circles, g) some homes near her home have experienced unnatural phenomenon indicating that other homes in the area may be haunted.

Date: January 23, 2009, Friday: Friday night is here and the investigation is ready to commence. Paranormal Investigators present: Robbie Thomas, Kathy & Tom, David Mace, Mandy Lewis, Tammy Straling, Chantal Apodaco, Rita Reyes, Annie Rolls and Valerie Rankin.

Equipment and Other Essentials Used: Digital cameras, digital audio recorders, dowsing rods, holy water, prayer beads, video camera, temperature gauges, EMF Readers.

Two teams are created with Tom and David Mace leading each team in the areas that they are assigned to. The home is a large two-story home and one team would take the 2nd floor level, while the other team would cover the first floor. 45 minutes would be the duration for each team to conduct their investigation in the areas that they would be covering. After 45 minutes, we would go over the collected evidence and have a short 15 minute meeting, before each team would trade investigative areas and go for the 2nd phase of the investigation.

Experiences Felt by Investigators:
Some investigators felt a heaviness on their chests. Some investigators felt a heaviness in the air as they entered one of the closets. One investigator felt depression or sadness. Three investigators smelled something foul, almost like stale vinegar. The smell comes and gos. The smell would last maybe a half a minute. Tom felt a headache as he entered the laundry room. He felt a shooting pain around his temple areas, later he would feel lightheaded. Investigator thought she saw a dewy mist go past her. At one point of time, I thought I saw a white fleeting figure by a 2nd floor window, it could have been my mind playing tricks. Robbie felt a brushing warmth that went across her face and later she thought she saw a quick moving shadow.

FINDINGS:
Investigator gets what sounds like the word ‘dodgers’ EVP. The EVP sounded like a man. The word sounded like ‘dodgers’ or ‘dodge her’. Another EVP was what sounded like ‘Moslo’ when the question was asked: ‘Is Anyone Here?’ Moslo could have been a ‘Must Go’. Tammy Straling received EVP that sounds like a woman sighing. Kathy takes a picture in the back room on the first floor that looked like a twisting tornado with a bright light at the base of the tornado. Could this photograph be of a vortex/portal? All EVPs and Kathy’s vortex photo need to be further analyzed. Robbie takes a picture with a black shadow moving across the ceiling. Her 2nd photo shows no shadow moving across ceiling. I had Tom take Robbie back into the same area to try and recreate the photo and the photo could not be recreated.

CONCLUSION:
With the possible EVPs and the unusual vortex photo. This place seems to have possible paranormal activity.

Lead Investigator Paul Dale Roberts final comments.
Many homes in this area make claim to hauntings. The homes are fairly new, such as this home. It is possible that the land is haunted? A rock quarry near this home was once a place for Irish miners during the 1800s. Some of these Irish miners were rumored to practice Pagan rituals that they brought with them from the old country. TJ showed us strange burn marks on her patio seat covers. She does not know why these patio seat covers have burn marks on them. TJ discussed how she may have been hexed once in her life by a person from Louisiana. The hex, also known as a mojo or evil eye could be the possible source for the haunting activity in this home. Valerie did a cleansing on TJ using an egg. This type of cleansing allows the egg to gather any supernatural energy that surrounds TJ’s body. I did a Catholic blessing of the home that included a hedge of protection prayer around TJ and later dispelling any entities in this home by the use of my prayer beads and holy water. The 4-Winds prayers were conducted in the backyard and front yard. When I touched the forehead of TJ with holy water, she felt her stress leave her body.

I will be checking up on TJ and if the activity does continue, a further investigation will be warranted and other type of cleansings/blessings will also be conducted to dispel the entities from her home.
Now to a lighter note, see how ghosthunters have fun:
January 22, 2009, Thursday: I get a call and Shannon ‘Ms. Macabre’ McCabe and Jennifer Baca took me out to Tapa of the World Bar and Restaurant in downtown Sacramento for Spanish Tapas. This was my birthday lunch! Then afterwards, Shannon, Merilee and I, went to the new Red Hawk Casino to gamble and listen to Kevin Bacon of the Bacon Brothers play their tunes. We ran into John O’Hurley – Actor, Colleen Shannon – Playboy Bunny, Perry King – Actor, Brad Miller – Sacramento Kings, Kenny Thomas – Sacramento Kings, Charlene Tilton – Actress, Linda Blair – Actress, Bobby Rydell – Rock Singer. Yes, they were gambling too. We even ran into Gold Rush Ghosts/Ghost Girls Staff Member Judy Cooper and her husband. This was definitely a fun day and night.

Penn & Teller invite Shannon McCabe and Paul Dale Roberts to the “Bull****” of 2012!
It’s Columbus Day as I sit down to write this article. The funny thing about it is, as Columbus was a discoverer so am I. My writing partner Paul Dale Roberts and I were just called by the Showtime Network, and they have asked us to go down to Cancun Mexico with them for the Penn & Teller, “Bull****” show. They want us to discover the mystery of 2012. Now, if you have ever seen the Penn & Teller “Bull****” show, you know that they will be ripping us a new one on just about everything we “discover”. Bring it on I say! Let me tell you a little about the Maya people and their calendar that ends on December 21st, 2012.
The Mayans were a very intelligent society that excelled in Mathematics and Astronomy. They were also very prolific writers. The Mayans were so well versed in Astronomy that they predicted that the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, would come into alignment with our Sun possibly causing a huge Axis shift that could send us into catastrophe. They predicted this to happen in 2012.
On a metaphysical level, some think that 2012 will bring our planet to a higher spiritual transformation.
If you ever listen to Riley Martin on Sirius Station, Howard 101, he claims that in 2012 the world will come into a spiritual transformation, and that the Biaviian (pron. Be-Ah-Vi-An) aliens will actually come down out of the sky and let us on to their Mother Ship.
On a more scientific level some believe that 2012 could end in an apocalypse and the end of our modern world as we know it.
My question is what should humankind expect on Dec. 21, 2012, when the Maya’s “Long Count” calendar marks the end of a 5,126-year era? Did they just run out of rock to carve and trees for their paper? God only knows…
Here Are Some Facts
Date founded:
250 AD rise of the Maya civilization
Place founded:
Southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Western Honduras, & El Salvador
Supporters & Followers:
At one time up to 2 million. Today, several million Maya practice a Roman Catholicism that retains many elements of traditional Mayan religion.
Theism:
Polytheism, they believed in more than one god.
Main gods:
Itzamná, Kukulcán (Quetzalcóatl), Bolon Tzacab, Chac
Practices:
Astronomy, divination, human sacrifice, elaborate burial for royalty, worship in stone pyramid-temples, prolific writing on actual papyrus made from the local trees, carvings in stone that mark their daily activities.
Society Colapse:
The Mayan Society collapsed in 1200 AD, and the reasons are unknown.

In the late 18th Century explorers discovered pyramids, monoliths, temples, and plazas all deep in the Guatemalan Rainforest decorated in carved pictures and hieroglyphs. The ancient Mayans had been keeping very good records of their civilization through these carvings which brings me to the wonderful man named, Diego De Landa.

De Landa was a Spanish priest, and in July 1562 he found carvings of what he found to be the “Devil’s work”. These carvings were of human sacrifice. He was so self- righteous that he had 5000 Mayan Idols demolished, along with all but three of their papyrus books. This is probably why we don’t know much of the Mayan civilization today. Luckily the temples and pyramids were made of stone and were not easily destroyed and we can still visit them today.

On a good note, De Landa did not destroy one very important book, the Relación de las cosas de Yucatán (1566). It was reprinted in 1864 and gave us a phonetically accurate look at the Mayan Hieroglyphs. Another book that was very significant was the Dresden Codex. The Dresden Codex was named after the city it was found in.

In 1880 a German scholar named Ernest Forstemann cracked the code of the Mayan hieroglyphs so that many of the carvings on the existing pyramids could be translated into what we now know as the Mayan Calendar.

As I mentioned earlier, the Mayan Calendar is called a “Long Count” calendar. It spans over 5000 years and happens to end at December 21st, 2012. There are many ways to look at this: One, The end of our modern civilization as we know it. Two, the beginning of a spiritual awakening where the world will be peaceful and serene. Three, Nothing will happen and the world will go on just like it did on January 1st, 2000. Remember Y2K? Funny wasn’t it?

There are many unsolved mysteries to this Mayan Calendar and the 2012 mystery. And I, Shannon McCabe, plan on finding out just what they are… Stay tuned, in the next month when I return from Chichen Itza I will recount everything I saw, felt, heard, and experienced at the Mayan Ruins. In fact, Showtime has gotten me a really cool HD, infrared camera to record a digital diary of the trip. I will also be bringing all my other equipment so that I can possibly capture some EVP’s and maybe even some UFO activity, remember the “Mother Ship” that Riley Martin talks of? And although Penn & Teller are probably going to rip me to shreds for my findings, I welcome them with open arms. I have been a very big fan of their skeptical humor, and those who know me, know I am a skeptic myself. I am sure as Bull**** that they will make me look like a complete idiot and I am lovin’ it! Chichen Itza here we come!

I’ll be reporting my findings soon… !Ariba!
