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 is 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 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
