Investigators Present: Steve and Jennifer Roland, Kim Walker, Robert Triplett, and Kristi Wheeler
Special Guests: Paul and Renee from News 10
We were contacted by Paul from News 10 here in Sacramento to do a follow along on an investigation before Halloween. We didn’t have one on the books but we were able to set up one quick thanks to our friends.
We have been to this location many times. We are very familiar with the property. The property is 22 acres and it’s a working cattle ranch. We have gotten many evps from this location and we’ve had successful flashlight conversations. We’ve also had many personal experiences. We knew this was the best location to take our special guests out to! We arrived at about 6:40 PM. We greeted our guests and the property owners. While we were checking our equipment and replacing batteries we chatted and answered questions about what we do. After checking all the equipment we gave a rundown of the history of the property and gave all the safety disclaimers. We chatted for a little bit longer then we proceeded to our first investigation hot spot, the old Pony Express stop. This Pony Express stop was actually more of a tent city where the riders would stop and rest between the stop in Colfax and their next destination. A flood came through the area in the 1800’s and all the people, and horses, at the stop drowned. Before this was a Pony Express stop the land belonged to the Maidu Native Americans. In a lot of the stones on the property you can still see the grinding holes from where they use to grind their grain. This location is close to the road and the traffic was quite busy so we didn’t do any evp sessions while there. We did run the video camera, take pictures, and use the dowsing rods. Our investigator in training Kristi took a shot with the dowsing rods and seemed to be communicating with an elderly Maidu Native American that had died in the flood. We said thank you to the spirits and gave them an offering of tobacco after about 40 minutes then moved on to our next stop that we call the little barn.
Last time we investigated the property our investigator Kim was touched and when she asked for the spirit’s name she got her first evp in the little barn. The spirit had said no. Apparently he doesn’t want to give his name. We don’t know much about the little barn. Speaking from a sensitive stand point the spirit is a male and he seems to be Hispanic as speaking Spanish caused a lot of activity the last time we were there. He isn’t the nicest guy but we don’t mind. Shortly after we entered the little barn our 2 guests, Paul and Renee, both felt like someone touched them. Paul thought it was Renee and Renee thought it was just her camera bag however when Paul asked if Renee had touched him she said she had not. Also, Renee checked to see if her camera bag had moved and it had not. We set up our digital voice recorders, flashlights, EMF detector, laser grid, and video camera. We tried everything to get the spirit to communicate with us. We didn’t get any flashlight communication but we did get an unusual sound on the digital voice recorder while doing a short evp session. While we were in the little barn our camera and Kristi’s camera died completely. Our camera had new batteries placed in it when we arrived and Kristi’s had been fully charged. We did hear movement and saw laser grid beams broken. We spent about 30 minutes in the little barn but had to call it due to a high school football game that was going on. We could hear the announcer and the band.
We took a 20 minute break to replace batteries and grab some drinks then we headed out to our next spot on the property, the old care takers house. This house is abandoned and it is falling apart. It is not safe to enter it. We also were unable to get extremely close to it due to all the blackberry bushes. We were able to get next to the structure that was once a cannery/barn. The story is that this care taker is an older man that is very mean. According to psychics he likes to sit on his porch with a shot gun to scare people off. He is said to “patrol” the area with his shot gun as well. We heard twigs snapping all around us. We know there are animals in the area but with all the bushes and overgrowth of the plants we never heard a sound of movement through the leaves. Could we have heard him patrolling the area? We’re not sure. We did capture an unusual photo while we were trying to provoke the old care taker.
After another quick break we continued our investigation. Our next stop was the big barn storage closet. The former owner of the property use to spend a lot of time in this closet depressed and in total despair over losing everything. We entered the closet and it was a bit on the warm side. We set up the flashlight, voice recorder, and the video camera then sat down on the floor and got comfortable. We started asking questions and the flashlight was turning on and off in response to our questions. We felt the temperature go from warm to cold several times and the room got extremely dark. Paul was hearing movement behind him during the session. Kristi felt like she was being touched. We also felt the room go heavy and we heard shuffling when we asked to make a noise but unfortunately the voice recorders didn’t pick it up.
Next on our investigation hot spots is the second floor of the big barn, the hay loft. There is a story that a mother killed her young daughter by hanging her off a beam on the second floor. We got some chairs set out, set up our equipment and got down to business. Other team members were trying to contact the non human entity in the barn but they were not having any luck. Kim said maybe the entity wants to speak to a specific person and the flashlight came on immediately. Then Kim asked for it to turn off the flashlight if the entity wanted to speak with me (Jen) and the flashlight immediately turned off. So, I proceeded to speak with the entity. Apparently it was mad at me for telling it to back off and let the human spirits speak. It also indicated that it was responsible for oppressing the human spirits and not allowing them to communicate with us. The non human entity stopped communicating with us after a few minutes but then a female human spirit started to communicate with us.
At this time I started feeling really anxious and panicked. I started rocking back and forth and shaking. I was feeling so panicked and desperate. I had the overwhelming feeling that I needed to be writing. I blew it off since I’ve never felt like this before. Kim and I were able to calm the female spirit down some to where I was able to stop rocking but I was still shaking. Kim held out her hand to help me calm down and it did helped. While this was going on we were trying to use the dowsing rods since communication with the flashlight had stopped. The rods would not go parallel. They were wide open the entire time. Kim wanted to give the rods a try. She was able to get the rods to close but they wouldn’t point straight ahead. They kept pointing at me and swinging around to point at her. During this Kim and I both felt the female spirit start panicking again. Kim decided to stop trying to use the rods since they weren’t working the way they should. At this time Kim was overwhelmed with panic and grief to the point she started crying. Also, it felt as if the floor was vibrating during this. We got everyone calmed and tried to get more communication on the flashlight. At this point our guests, Paul and Renee, had to head out. We continued to try to get some activity but we weren’t getting any so we decided to wrap up.
While we were wrapping up we were telling the owner about some of our personal experiences and I mentioned that I felt like I should have been writing. At that point the owner pointed out that they have an office full of paper and pens quite humorously. Everyone was telling me I should have said something when it happened and yes I should have. I was hesitant about saying anything because I haven’t had that happen to me at any previous investigation or at any point in my personal life. After learning that I felt the need to be writing the owner got some paper and a pencil and we proceeded to go back into the big barn. We went back up the stairs and we all got situated. I sat there for a few minutes and then I started writing. I don’t really remember this. From this point on I’m telling what I have heard on audio. Unfortunately, our video camera was dead at this point. The team asked questions and I answered. I started out writing “HELP” over and over again. They asked “help who?” and I wrote “baby”. I also wrote “pond” so they asked if we needed to go to the pond and I wrote “yes”. They told the female spirit that we would go to the pond but they needed to let me come back. After she let me go I felt overwhelmed with panic and grief and began crying. We took a 20 minute break to let me calm down then we headed over to the pond.
At the pond I again had the anxious, panicked feeling and I started writing. While at the pond I wrote that her daughter was outside playing and that she wasn’t supposed to be by the pond. Apparently she went out to look for her daughter and she couldn’t find her. When she finally did, she found her at the pond cold and blue. She didn’t know if her daughter was murdered by a mean farm worker or if it was an accident. We were able to get the year that this happened as well as their last name. When Steve and Robert read the last name that I had written down the owner repeated it surprised and kind of gasped. When the owner was asked “what?” she said she would tell us later. The team also asked about the church that was on the property and if it was there when this woman was there. She said no. About this time the animals on the property were getting closer to us so everyone decided to end the session. Before we ended though we promised to let everyone know that she didn’t kill her daughter like the story says. She thanked us for that. We told her we’d be back again said good bye to the woman.
After the investigation the owner told us that the last name I wrote use to own most of the land in the area and that the time line of the church not being there when the woman was there was correct. We continued to talk for a bit about what had happened then said thank you and good bye to the owner then loaded up and headed home. The next day I was sore and a little confused about what happened. I am still trying to debunk my experience and I just can’t. I still don’t really know what to make of it. We will be going back to the location at a later date. Evidence will be posted on our website and our Facebook page.
