Investigation Findings
My partner Larry and I have been conducting an on-going investigation of the Mountain View Cemetery. The cemetery is located on the Hughes side of the "Belmont" cemetery, which is on Belmont, West of FWY 99. It was around midnight or so, when we went to the East from Hughes avenue on the a driveway. We were approximately 100 yards into the cemetery and I was shooting photographs and Larry was running a recorder for possible EVP’s. Larry was standing about 10 feet from the left side, when I felt pressure on my right shoulder. The pressure was moderate and only lasted for about four seconds. The pressure did not dissipate, but rather stopped suddenly as if someone or something pulled away. I asked, "are you touching me?" This was not a nerve spasm as I have had them before and was nothing like that, and for sure it wasn't Larry because he was several feet away. We hung around for a few more minutes and went back northwest into the grassy area of the cemetery. At this point with the recorder running, Larry had asked if what ever was there wanted us to stay? I then asked do you want us to go? The recording revealed a voice which said "go". We had made our way back to the driveway and on a whim I shot a photograph East up the driveway.
Upon examination of the photographs I discovered three anomalies in the images. In the first images was a glowing orb above a headstone which was approximately 30 feet South of the driveway, in the same area in which I was possibly touched. On the same headstone was a dark colored "orb" on it's West (face) side. There were numerous insects in the cemetery that night however any insect activity appeared differently than the two orbs I had captured. In the images I also discovered what appears to be a near full body apparition on the driveway; again in the area in which I was possibly touched on the shoulder. This was on the last image I took East on the driveway. The apparition has what appears to be a head, shoulders, and the upper portion of legs... with possibly a red colored lower half..
To eliminate the possibility of other objects which may have come across as these anomalies I returned to the cemetery in the daylight hours. I shot several images aligning myself in nearly the exact positions in which they were originally taken. On the headstone with the two orbs I made a shocking discovery. Obviously the mid-air orb was no longer present. And I thought for sure I would find discoloration of the headstone which would explain the dark orb. However... none was present. The photograph from the driveway produced what may have possibly contributed to the apparition. A small headstone in the distance may have reflected light, however... The headstone does not quite align with the apparition in the photograph and is slightly shorter. The apparition is more toward the center of the roadway instead of on the shoulder. This photo remains for scrutiny.
Below are the images I captured during the investigation with the comparison photographs.

Mountain View Cemetery Findings Investigation 11/2009
Giving up the Ghost Investigation 12/2009
Recently I had a chance to investigate a private residence for two clients. Their experiences were very unique, however allot of what was seen or experienced could be dismissed, with the exception of two occurrences.
The clients lived in their home for about a year, and was allegedly a former home of a serial killer in the Madera area. My researched turned up no evidence to substantiate this claim that this was a serial killer's former residence. The person who committed these horrific crimes was indigent and could not afford such a lavish home.
During my investigation I recorded video, audio, took numerous photographs and attempted to make contact several times. Reviewing the footage, I retained no evidence. The only thing I captured was a class C EVP, which could be dismissed as reverberation. When interviewing the clients they claimed to have several digital photographs which they believed to contain images of homicide victim's with gun shot wounds to their heads. I had to see this!!! When I reviewed the images, I saw nothing out of the ordinary. What were reflections in shiny furniture were believed to take on human form and transmit images of the dead. Not the case. I explained that as humans we want to see objects or human forms in everyday things. Much like a seeing animals in cloud formations or interpretation of a Rorschach inkblot test. It's a human perception. I was also shown an image of what appeared to be angel wings floating free in a room. This client also had a daughter who recently passed and believed it may have been her visiting. Well when I entered this dark room I shined a flashlight forward further into the room, and appearing on the opposing wall were what appeared to be a pair of wings. When I stepped in further I discovered a glass picture frame laying on the bed. The frame was reflecting light and shining it to the wall. I felt a little bad for the client because I think he really wanted to believe his daughter had returned for a visit. However, I could see relief in his eyes when I explained the occurrence away. The clients then told me of two incidents I could not explain. While laying in bed, both clients saw what appeared to be sparkling orbs in a hallway, and in a mirror in their bedroom. This happened on two occasions. I attempted to replicate the anomaly using other means with negative results. Both clients said it appeared two orbs were "fighting". After spending sometime with the clients they told me they had not stayed in the house for several nights and were planning on moving because they didn't like what was happening there. I explained to them that if there is something here, it doesn't seem to want to harm anyone, and consider not moving.
At the conclusion of the investigation the clients told me they had moved because they were too frightened. I would never recommend anyone leave their home for such occurrences. Especially ones which were debunked. The clients gave into their fears.

Real bumps in the night at a home near McKinley and Maroa in Fresno, CA
Investigation 10/2008
A Paranormal Investigation was conducted at a private residence in the area of McKinley and Maroa in Fresno, CA in October 2008. This is the home of John C. (42) and Debbe C. (42), and their daughter Anya C. (4). Debbe reported to me that there had been a full body apparition of a woman in period dress (circa 1890) which has appeared once to her, and numerous times to a house guest. There was also activity which was center around a house remodeling project in the recent past. Items have also been report missing and mysteriously returning to their place of origin with no apparent reason or explanation. In addition to this there has been a mysterious odor inside a closet which is sensed only periodically.
Prior to our full investigation I did a the preliminary investigation, where I met with Debbe and John. During the course of this preliminary investigation myself, along with John and Debbe encountered what is known as a “cold spot” in the N/E bedroom/office. In addition there was also an influx of an electromagnetic field in the S/W corner of the room (6.2 milli gauss) which source was unknown and unexplainable, and had dissipated several minutes after it’s discovery. I examined the remainder of the home during the preliminary investigation and found nothing out of the ordinary.
During the investigation my team and I, investigated Debbe and John’s claims to try and give a render a reasonable explanation for such occurrences, and see if we could experience some of these occurrences ourselves. Although my team did witness some occurrences, we did not experience any of the activity experienced by Debbe or John, nor could we render and opinion as to why they occurred.
The experiences that my team did encounter consisted of numerous unknown sounds inside the home, which consisted of a deep thumping sound, creaks, pops, clicks, doors opening on their own, and an unexplained audible voice heard by two investigators. Several of these unexplained noises where captured on video and/or audio recording devices. Inside the S/W bedroom of the residence there was a sudden drop in temperature over a eight minute period, in which ended in a result of a five degree drop which could not be explained. During this time a latched door near the N/W corner of the room opened on it’s own for unknown reasons. The event was caught on an audio recording. After reviewing audio recordings made during the investigation, there were four unexplained EVP voices (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) which were
captured.

Interview reveals astounding EVP On-going Investigation 04/2010
Investigations into the paranormal aren’t always what they seem. While investigating such claims one has to keep in mind of what else could be causing the occurrences that are other than the paranormal. Electrical problems in homes, tricks of light, misinterpretation of natural occurrences, etc… And the list goes on. However, there are occurrences that go beyond all reasonable explanation. This is one of those cases. Through a mutual friend, Benny, I was first put in contact with Mary from the north central valley of California in the fall of 2009. Mary explained to me through phone conversations that she was frightened of what had been happening to her for many years. Poltergeist activity along with other paranormal occurrences were prevalent in her life. The activity was occurring often and steadily. I had set up an initial interview and was to meet with her. Due to unforeseen events, we had to postpone our interview indefinitely. Ben would keep me informed from time to time of
happenings with Mary and her experiences. In the spring of 2010, I was finally able to meet with Mary and Ben, away from her residence to discuss what she was experiencing. The interview revealed there were hundreds of occurrences, sightings, and other happenings, from even her earliest of age. Most often the activity would center around Mary, but was not limited. Even with Mary not present it would reveal it’s self to her children, family, and even friends who would come by to visit. Objects moving or being thrown, doors and cabinets coming open or slamming shut, sounds, full body apparitions being seen, and many, many more. Mary at one point had her home blessed by a religious official but to only temporary relief. I explained to Mary that I believe what ever this entity is, or are, I believe it is attached to her, because the occurrences have followed her for so long and from place to place. During the interview process recorded the session to assist me in taking notes and possibly capture any possible electronic voice phenomenon (EVP). Later in the interview we attempted to call out the entity. When the attempt was made to summon the entity, Mary explained to me that she felt it was with her earlier in our meeting but was now no longer with her.
After our meeting, I had a chance to review the recordings. At 9 minutes into the recording, the only thing I can compare this to is someone testing a microphone being heard. Several quick breaths are heard being blown into the mic. Two stray whispers are heard at 11 minutes and 13 minutes. At 23 minutes into the recording the bomb was dropped. Ben and Mary are speaking to me about cell phone disruption in her home. While Ben is speaking to me a male voice is heard in the background, but is very clear, exclaiming what sounds like, “ I can hear them talking”. This is one of the loudest and clearest EVPs I have heard to date. When I made the attempt to capture EVP through provocation nothing is heard. I believe Mary was correct in telling me the entity was not there any longer.
At this time the case is open, and will remain so. A full investigation is pending.
