9-6-2008 We will definitely head back in the future! open arriving there we met up with some of the members of SCPI, very nice people and we hope to do further investigations with them as needed.
I am going to discuss briefly here on orbs. While some investigators believe orbs are energy manifested in the shape of spherical shapes of either blue, red and white... Some believe this is nothing. I will tell you from my experience it is something to a degree. When digital cameras first came out, there were many problems with them, false "orb" images etc. That's why I only use a digital camera with a 7 mega pixel or larger. That way the risk of false orb images are greatly decreased, and errors that occurred on older model cameras are less of a problem. Troy Taylor has written many reports on ghost hunting on the web, some of which i agree with and some i strongly disagree with. I feel, Troy, myself or anyone for that matter, is NO expert! There is just not that much evidence either supporting or disproving facts. But i will say, after decades of taking pictures, from Polaroid, digital (new and old) and 35mm, of all types of locations. Vacation shots, to supposed haunted places. very few orbs were ever captured in NON reported haunted areas. And ones that were captured could be easily debunked. Bottom line, it's something that hasn't been proven either way scientifically, but if it was camera errors in developing wouldn't it appear on all photos? Also why then are digital images taken, not show these orbs in all images? And when no light source is available? Insects flying? No, they give off an entirely different image when taken. I tested this many times, taking pictures of random places using all cameras and i will tell you, this is not lens flare, glare etc. Dust? No. Rain drops, mist? No, as all images i took were under normal weather conditions. You be the judge. You can do your own research, there are 35mm and Polaroid images showing orbs on the web, dating back decades. In any case, keep an open mind. Easy to tell the difference: If you capture many faint "orbs" on an image, check for dust, polen, mist etc. If you get a one or two larger, bright or blue/red in color, you may have something. Brighter the orb, or intense in color, could be paranormal, but, you decide.
Now on false orbs: Ok, i discussed about orbs we captured, making sure there was no mist, rain, wind etc that would effect our shots. False orbs are just as common. Mist can give off thousands of orbs so can dust, insulation, etc. It is a delicate area in investigating. That's why I stress, Check the weather, your surroundings and make sure not to stir anything up. All images we took within this site had orb with high EMF readings to go with them. We've taken well over 5,000 images more that 80% were tossed out with no orbs! Again keep an open mind, know your surroundings, then it will be easy to debunk what is a true orb and a false orb.

We were contacted by a homeowner up north, who sent us a very interesting image of an orb. We leave you to be the judge. Look at the right chair, directly above it. Several other images were taken of the same area to test, this was the only one to capture this bright orb.

10-31-2008
Regarding our September investigation. It was canceled. The homeowner entered the hospital and we've not heard word yet on his condition or future continuance of this investigation. Any updates we will let you know.
10-31-2008
Just our yearly reminder: Remember when out and about, those ghosts and goblins wandering the streets are NOT real spirits. They are humans. drive carefully and be safe as always on this Halloween night. (Below is my first attempt at detailed pumpkin carving. Will try again next year) 
Upcoming investigation has been scheduled for 9/12 Friday night at a private residence. Location is in the city of San Jacinto. With permission from the owner, any evidence will be shown within this site. We will keep you updated throughout the week and into the findings period.

I know below we mentioned our ad was out back in May, however there was a problem with the printers and I just received our copy. It is out now covering: Corona, Riverside, Norco and surrounding communities. It appears in "Your Community Yellow Pages" Check it out when you can and book mark our two locations in there. This could be helpful in case your internet dies, at least you have the book now. We are listed in both "Ghosts" and "Paranormal Investigators" sections. We are the only one listed in those two categories.
Very soon we will be giving you updates on upcoming investigations. In the meantime feel free to join our message board and chat away.
8-16-2008
We are back up and running and apologize for any delays. With the move and client requests for our services, we're backed up. Therefore, we will be servicing on a first come first serve basis. Feel free to contact us right away to schedule. And again, thanks for your patience.
7-24-2008
On Haitus for another week or so, as we move to a new location. We will always cover the IE and surrounding communities. Just relocating. After such time we will go back to a full schedule. Stay tuned for new investigations!
5-14-2008
Just because we haven't posted in awhile doesn't mean we aren't alive and kicking :) Just a lot to take care of in and out of this field.
Our ad has come out in the Riverside "Your Community Yellow Pages" directory. It is the only listing in any yellow page directory for Paranormal that I know of, in Southern California. Again it was done at our cost to make it easier for those of you to find a group like ours to help you in your search.
More updates are coming so stay tuned!

Saturday night was a return to Sunnyslope cemetery in Beaumont. Cemeteries are always a good place to start when training new members on equipment and weather conditions, and that is what we set out to do.
This particular visit we again ran into typical orb activity of either moisture, dust etc. However, as I explained before, orbs can usually be debunked, unless they are brighter than most and have their own flight pattern. The couple we captured were just that, different from the rest. They are now posted up in our image section. Along with that we captured a colorful ectoplasm, which is listed in the evidence column of Sunnyslope images. Our black and white photos are not developed yet, but when they are we will post them for you.
2-11-2008
Some minor updates. We added a few more pictures of the equipment we use here at CPI, they're now uploaded in the "equipment" section. And the message board features are now complete. With chat box/private messaging between users, a calendar section which will list special events, when you registered, etc. and the ads are now removed. We are working on some upcoming investigations and will announce the details soon. Also, we added a new item to our store so check that section.
1-22-2008
After some careful consideration, we have decided to go with a more user friendly message board here. If you registered on the old board, you will have to re-register one more time. I think you will find this board much easier to work with and more entertaining. Check it out in the button above, "Board." In the coming weeks, we'll remove the banner ads that appear at the top of the board.
1-09-2008
A few updates: We have modified the "image" section for each investigation listed there. You will now see 3 columns, one for "images with evidence" one for "orbs" and one for "staff images." I feel this will make it easier for those of you not wanting to browse through countless orb photo's. Keep in mind as always, even the evidence sections DO NOT indicate a true paranormal event, we just felt these were closer to "possible" evidence over your standard orb event.
Also, kind of humorous, in TAPS aka "Ghost Hunters" season debut tonight, they announced a piece of new equipment they will now be using. The Bushnell's infrared camera/video. We here at CPI have used this since summer of last year. It is a fantastic item.
1-06-2008
Coming this year, will be the launching of our services in the community yellow pages. There are currently no listings for groups such as ours. Mainly, most groups don't have the funds to branch out into that market since they/we operate on a "free" basis. However, we here at CPI feel it best to get out there in anyway we can to reach more of you who are need of this type of service. I will inform of you of the exact launch date as it nears. More investigations are coming soon, we are currently gathering case information on each one and will announce them as they occur.
12-04-2007
Quiet lately, not much to report. Holidays are upon us now, but always remember we are here for you whenever you need us.
11-19-2007
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. We will be here for you if needed during the holiday for emergencies and will resume normal investigations the days following Thanksgiving. Be safe and have fun!
11-11-2007
35mm images are now uploaded. I gave you both color and black and white sections as well as evidence. Click on the image section you will now see digital images and below that will show 35mm pictures taken with 400 speed b&w and color film. It is said, your best bet to capture spirit activity will be with either night vision cameras or 35mm film. I want to take a brief moment to talk to those new to investigating. If you see places being discussed on the web of haunted locations... don't assume when you go there that you will get evidence. Spirits do not perform on cue. Patience is the key. Going to a location for an hour won't cut it. You need to be prepared to stay for several hours and come prepared.
11-07-2007
Very shortly we will be uploading all our 35mm images. Up until this point all images in the "image" section are from our 7.1 mega pixel camera. 35mm images is just another way to capture (hopefully), what doesn't show up on digital. So check the "image" section from time to time for updates.

What a night we had! We made our final visit to Riverside Cemetery in Riverside, California. We like to make 2-3 trips wherever we investigate and then call it an end. We ran into everything, from ectoplasm, evp, an apparition and more. Most of the activity occurred around the crematories. Everything is uploaded in this site for your viewing/listening. EVP was at the crematory, very odd as we captured what sounds like a heart beat, check the EVP section. Ectoplasm was hovering around a staff member, and only showed up upon blowing the image up after getting cold spots. This and more is up in the image section of Riverside. Apparition! One was of what appeared to be a small child walking between the crematory and a mound of dirt. Note on the apparition: the crematories are dark and very little light is cast upon them. Therefore, no shadows of people could be giving this shadow effect. We tested it several times and debunked 2 apparitions, only one was unexplained. The camera is mounted on a truck some 30 feet away. If and i say IF a person were in a light source that far back, the shadow would be huge, engulfing the entire crematory. But no staff member was around. If a staff member was standing at the crematory, his shadow would be the same height, but as you check these out in the VIDEO section, you will notice no one was around. Check the staff video in that section, you'll see a member walk by without giving off a shadow, thus no light.
Orbs we caught: out of the 46 images taken with our 7.1 mega pixel camera, only 15 had orb activity, and all orbs captured happened in or around the same locations we experienced the apparitions and evp. Check it out.

Due to the fires burning throughout our state we will not be conducting any investigations this weekend. Smoke etc would hamper any investigation, we will resume next weekend. Halloween is another day to us. Many have looked at Halloween as the most haunted day there is. However as experts, paranormal investigators and many others will tell you, this is far from the truth. Halloween is built mostly on folklore and fun. With that being said, have fun and be safe.
10-24-2007
We are proud to announce the opening of our new message board here. We mentioned it briefly below, and are now complete with sections that are open for topics and conversation there. Just register and immediately begin to post. The board has a profanity feature installed, and easy to use features.
10-19-2007
Return to Prospect Park, Redlands. This second visit had a few surprises. SCPI joined us this night and one of their flashlights, while laying on stage, moved when we tried to communicate with whatever it was that seemed to be present. Along with that, we captured an evp just moments before that incident which is up in this site. Also some staff images and 2 images with evidence. One, was at the roof line of the stage area, a very large, bright orb, which also appeared during our communication moment. Back at the bandstand we captured a bright light streak. You can check this in the "image" section.
10-18-2007
Some minor site changes here. I have added a message board to help serve you better. Several categories there from requesting our service, general paranormal conversation, haunted places and more. With adding this board we felt no need to keep the Guest book or chat box, so i hope this works for you.
10-17-2007
I don't normally plug shows, but there are a few good ones out there on the paranormal other than Taps. Recounting actual documented events, check out Discovery Channel every Monday-Friday at 2pm. The show is called "A Haunting" based on true life accounts, actors are replaced to protect the innocent. Most are suspenseful but tell exactly how some entities interact with us. Keep in mind, this program is showing mostly poltergeist events with some spirit activity. Most hauntings are tame in comparison.

A visit to Prospect Park this Saturday night proved to be a wet event. Cloudy, cool and mist which prevented camera or video evidence to show. No evp work was done either due unforeseen circumstances. I have uploaded some staff images for you, and will add any evidence to that section when we go back. Upon leaving and hiking down the hill 2 of our investigators heard giggling/ whispering coming from bushes. (A brief history of this park: Rumors have it, a teenage girl was raped and murdered at the stage within the park and also a few others throughout the years. Some say this park is haunted.) Our two investigators stopped and pulled out the K2 meter which is designed to pick up EMF readings. No electrical sources were anywhere to be found. When our investigators asked a few questions, the meter went berserk. We then asked a series of yes or no questions asking for the spirit to spike the meter with 1 or 2 flashes for each answer. We will definitely head back sometime this month to complete our investigation, so stay tuned!
10-06-2007
We made a return to the San Jacinto Cemetery to complete our final investigation on this night. We took 25 pictures with the same 7.1 mega pixel camera, out of the 25 we got back 10 with activity, they are now up in the "image" section now.
Stay tuned for some up coming surprise investigations!

First trip to Menifee Valley Memorial Park. It is a smaller cemetery, but we were able to capture some nice images and a couple evp's as well. This is located in Sun City. Our evidence/findings are now up in this site.
The orb controversary is in the "News Archive" section.

***Update to Van Buren story***
Van Buren and Dufferin: Story goes that black blurs can be seen while traveling down this street late at night and children screams from being tortured can be heard.
Update:
The original stories floating the web, indicate the above to be true, and that 2 girls and killer were murdered at this location. We did some checking and found this to be only partially accurate. Here's what we found. Only one girl was murdered in December 2004. Here is the link to the Riverside PD's Bulletin. (this may be to graphic for some) http://www.riversideca.gov/rpd/press/2004releases/dec2304
.htm
It is believed by some, her spirit still haunts this location.
We did not see any black blurs nor did we hear screams but that isn't to say they don't exist. Keep in mind spirits are not always predictable. But we did get some nice images which are now up in this site.

Wonderful night here at Mission Inn Hotel in Riverside. Although some areas were not available to us to investigate we did cover 1/2 the hotel where sightings and reportings have taken place, and let me tell you, it's all it's claimed to be. Thanks to SCPI for getting this set up, as we teamed up to cover this huge and beautiful hotel.
The history of this hotel goes back over 100 years. Some of the information can be seen at http://theshadowlands.net/ghost/
But what is shown in that site is only half of what has taken place there over the years. We were able to capture evp's to many images of orbs etc.
One room was being held by a very nice woman who saw us investigating and asked us to check her room. She was seated outside her room at the patio. When we entered, Kim's room did have some sort of activity, images are in this site now.
Check the EVP and IMAGE pages for all our findings.
The hotel goes back to 1900 when CC Miller sold it to his son Frank. Alice, Frank's sister passed away in the late 40's, she was the manager, and it is believed both still haunt this hotel as well as many others who have perished here.
Out on the Spanish patio there are statues which sit near the roof lines. One of them, according to some raises its arms. That statue has been anchored with wires. We captured a very large orb directly over this and the bell tower. Other places, is the spiral staircase, which reports of deaths from falling from this very high and elaborate stairwell. Orbs were found throughout this as well and posted in this site.
Hallways with apparitions reported, we got orbs. Outside rooms 215 etc where activity was reported... you guessed it, orbs.
The catacombs were closed in 1992 and we were unable to investigate this as well as other areas due to weddings taking place at the time of the investigation. Wonderful place, and i hope we can revisit to bring you more soon.
Here are some staff photos from that night out:

Very interesting stuff found at the Sunnyslope cemetery this weekend. We made two stops here on Friday and Saturday nights. What we found are a couple interesting evp's and tons of orb activity. From your standard white orbs to blue. Cold spots? Indeed, we had readings of 20-30 degree drops in places. This will take me several days to get everything uploaded. Before i go on, for those who are not familiar with this place, there is very little light here which makes filming/photographing a challenge. Not to mention the safety factor. We had all our equipment up and running: Night vision, video and digital cameras. Everything we captured is in the appropriate sections now for your viewing and listening pleasure.
Here's a few staff images from that night.

Speaking of which, not sure the day yet, but you can bet you will be notified here first... We are hoping to merge together this next weekend to investigate the famous Mission Inn Hotel. There are so many accounts of odd disturbances there and so many locations to cover, it will take both teams to cover. Stay tuned for this one. Check out our current findings from this weekend now!
09-01-2007
Labor Day Holiday is here now, which gives us more time to investigate locations we couldn't obtain information at before, and going back to some familiar places. This night we made our second trip to the Riverside Cemetery. Time we arrived was about 12:00am and left at almost 2. We were not able to get any EVP's on this latest trip there, however, our night vision camera and video was able to pick up some interesting stuff. From mists and orbs. Also added are some staff images while they were in action as well. So check out our new pages. Video, Night Vision Image and Links pages are now up. The Store and Equipment sections will be up shortly so check that out later.
08-25-2007
Back at the San Jacinto Cemetery, we were able to pick 4 new EVP's for your listening, so check the EVP page. We also went to the Vosburg Hotel, it is currently under construction, however, on video we captured what we believe is to be an image of a woman in the window. We are trying to edit and post that soon. Stay tuned.
08-18-2007
In our most recent investigation of the orange groves in Riverside, we ran into many obstacles, from music, cars etc. We will go back to reinvestigate. Also coming soon, we will be checking out the Vosburg Cafe and Hotel in San Jacinto. Information about this is on the right side of this page, Until then, be safe!
8-12-2007
We are currently reviewing evidence in two of our most recent investigations involving both the Riverside and San Jacinto cemeteries. Shortly we will be posting our findings for you to view and listen. You will be able to click the sections marked "EVP's" and "Images" to review what we have found here.
