MY BIO:
jazmaonline.boards.net/thread/2495/paul-dale-roberts-biography-revised

10/15/2023: Today I heard the tragic news about the death of Suzanne Somers.  I had the pleasure of meeting Suzanne in Seoul, Korea while she was doing a USO Show. We had a nice discussion about our hometown of San Bruno. Suzanne’s parents lived very close to my parents. There were many stores that Suzanne and I, frequented in San Bruno. We discussed sight-seeing at San Bruno Mountain.  Suzanne will be missed by millions. She was an incredible talent and a fantastic lady. She was very family oriented and cared for so many people. She will always be loved and her legacy shall live on forever. This article is dedicated to Suzanne as I step into the paranormal world of San Bruno.   

HAUNTED BABY WORLD:
The former Lullaby Lane Baby Store (now Baby World) has been in operation since the 1950s, and is believed to be haunted by a former employee named Jean Brown, who retired from the store in 1977 and died of lung cancer in 1980. Witnesses report unexplained noises, footsteps, moving chairs, flickering lights, and toys that turn on by themselves. Steve Vestneys, a resident of San Bruno went to this store and experienced something that he felt was paranormal in nature. Steve says that a gentle hand touched his shoulder and then both of his hands felt icy cold. Cathy Orange heard disembodied giggling. The giggling sounded like a woman, but there was no one around to make that giggling sound.  

HAUNTED SAN BRUNO MOUNTAIN
When I lived in San Bruno, I went to Oceana High School.  I would hitchhike down Sharp Park Lane to get to school. When I finally bought a car, a 65′ Blue Dodge Coronet Stationwagon, I would enjoy driving down the sharp curves of Sharp Park Lane.  I had a lot of enjoyment in this car and the ceiling of my car was decorated with Marvel and DC comic book covers. Yes, I was into comic books in my high school years. I had a mattress in the back and if I wanted to camp out somewhere, like San Bruno Mountain, I was able to crash out in the back of my car.  When finally, my car broke down, I had a friend named Willie Reid who bought it for $100.00. Willie was a mechanic and fixed it up enough to get it running on a temporary basis. Willie and 4 of his friends with crash helmets on, took it up San Bruno Mountain and rolled it down the hill. Willie and his buddies had a thrill tumble in my former car and to this day, the rusted station wagon is probably still sitting in some ravine on San Bruno Mountain. San Bruno Mountain is very haunted, here are some of the urban legends about San Bruno Mountain.  Just to let you know, Suzanne and I discussed San Bruno Mountain and we have never experienced anything paranormal on the mountain.  

SATANIC ORDER OF BRUNO (S.O.B)
In the late 60s and the early 70s, a group of red robed people would be seen congregating on this mountain. It was said they would burn an upside down black cross. There were rumors of human sacrifice being taken place at these rituals, but that was never proven.

FERNANDO RIVERA OR BRUNO DE HECETA SOLDIERS
The Portola Expedition visited San Francisco Bay in 1769 and just 5 years later Fernando Rivera and four soldiers climbed San Bruno Mountain and watched the beautiful sunrise from across the bay. Bruno de Heceta named San Bruno Mountain for Bruno’s patron saint. Leslie Matthews and her family were camping at San Bruno Mountain and the fog just rolled in. When the fog dispersed in one area, they could make out what appeared to be 4 Spanish soldiers in red and white garb and blue and white garb. The fog rolled back in and when it dispersed again, the soldiers were gone. The Matthews family researched soldier uniforms and they say that the soldiers uniforms resembled Spanish uniforms from the 1700s. Is it possible that the Matthews saw the Spanish soldiers of Fernando Rivera or Bruno de Heceta?

SAN BRUNO HAIRY MAN
Darrell Johansen says that in 1984 while driving in the area, he saw with 2 of his buddies, a hairy man running through the thickets. The hairy man stood at 5’ 8”. There was sparse hair all over his body, thick beard and disheveled long hair. The Hairy Man’s forearms were thicker than a normal man. The Hairy Man looked at Darrell Johansen and his friends and ran even faster in the thickets until he finally disappeared.

CONNECTION: DALY CITY CHINESE CEMETERY AND SAN BRUNO MOUNTAIN?
The Daly City Chinese Cemetery has many haunted tales. There has been reported cases of grave robbing at the Daly City Chinese Cemetery. It is known that the Chinese will bury valuables with their dead. When grave robbers got wind of this, there were many disturbed graves. A Bigfoot type of creature was once seen at this cemetery. Could this have been the San Bruno Hairy Man? Story goes that a couple drove into the cemetery to make out. While making out a blue light was seen. The woman was scared to death and the man got out of the car to investigate. As he approached, he saw that the blue light had a disc shape to it. The woman claims that her boyfriend was gone for an hour, but the boyfriend does not vouch for the missing time. When he returned to the car, the frightened girl drove out like a bat out of hell. The story goes that a hairy creature jumped on the hood of their vehicle. They left and do not have a desire to ever re-visit the cemetery ever again. Blue lights have been seen coming in and out of San Bruno Mountain. Could those blue lights be UFO activity and was it the same kind of blue light that the couple saw at Daly City Chinese Cemetery? Special Note: People see orbs floating around the cemetery too. Could these orbs be connected to the San Bruno Mountain Will-o’-the-Wisps?

SAN BRUNO MOUNTAIN HIPPIE HITCHHIKER:
Near the mountain, a hippie blonde woman with peace patches on her jeans is sometimes seen. A few people have stopped for the hitchhiker only for the woman to let out a piercing scream and vanish in front of their eyes.

SAN BRUNO MOUNTAIN WILL-O’-THE-WISP:
At times strange lights are seen on the mountain. They seem to bounce up and down in the air, or dart here and there like a dragon fly. There is no explanation for this strange light phenomenon.

SERIAL KILLER AND WEST COAST MAFIA DUMPING GROUND:
It is rumored that some bodies have been dumped at San Bruno Mountain by the West Coast Mafia and serial killers like David Joseph Carpenter aka the Trailside Killer and the notorious Zodiac Killer. San Bruno Mountain has many secluded areas for dumping and it would make a convenient location for killers. A hiker named Daniel Ford says that he once saw a shadowy figure moving what appeared to be a body wrapped up in plastic. As Daniel watched the image, the image started to fade away. Daniel believes he was witnessing residual haunting and the shadowy figure’s face looked like the Trailside Killer.

SAN BRUNO PINT SIZE UFO:
Three high school kids from Oceana High School while camping, claim they saw a pint size UFO darting in and out of the trees. The UFO was one foot in length and one foot in width. The UFO seemed curious of the 3 boys and flew close to their face. The boys claim they could see small window portholes and what appeared to be tiny humanoids inside the craft. The UFO had a bluish glow to it and was in the shape of a disc.

So as you can see San Bruno Mountain has many stories, it’s definitely a legendary mountain. Are the stories true? Perhaps, we should get a team of investigators and find out.
