The Villisca Ax Murder House is the famously haunted location of the J.B. Moore family murders on June 10, 1912.  An unknown intruder entered the house in the wee hours and killed eight people, Mr. and Mrs. Moore, their four children, and two child friends.

Nicki with our group, California Paranormal Research, was fortunate to investigate this grisly murder site along with AGH (Chad of American Ghost Hunter as seen on Paranormal State).  EVP’s to come!

This small house is located on the Rancho de los Coches.  It is a few hundred feet from the Roberto-Sunol Adobe (1836), previously owned by Roberto Bellarmino, a Native American Indian who was from the Mission Santa Clara.  When he was given his freedom, he bought 2,219 acres here.  Antonio Sunol acquired, and later Captain Stefano Splivalo, a sea captain. A house was built adjoining the adobe.  Rancho de los Coches was a grape vineyard, and later a sheep farm.

We received numerous EVP’s and KII activity here on this historical land.

Grant Ranch, located in Halls Valley, East of San Jose, is a historical gem.  The original house was built in 1882.  Joseph D. Grant remodeled, adding a cook house, servant’s quarters, other houses and buildings, a rose garden, and a large aviary.  This is Werwersen Ohlone Indian land. 

During our investigation, we received numerous EVP’s, ovilus activity, and (3) digital pictures of “something” forming on the property.  Will be adding soon!  Also, we will be adding more info on the Grant Ranch under our “historical” section.

This is a ranch with the utmost paranormal activity.  Everything from poltergeist and paranormal activity within the ranch house and guest quarters, to various mysterious lights, encounters,sightings, voices, unknown beings, and all-around strange occurances on the ranch itself.  This is an on-going investigation for us, since it is sporadic activity.  Pics to come.

Alameda’s haunted aircraft carrier, the USS Hornet (CV-12) is the eighth ship to carry the Hornet name, and often called the most haunted ship in United States history.  The Hornet was commissioned in 1943 at the height of WWII in the Pacific.  She quickly became one of the most highly decorated ships in the Navy.  She destroyed 1,410 Japanese aircraft and destroyed or damaged over 1,000,000 tons of enemy shipping.  Ten Hornet pilots attained “Ace in a Day” status.  She supported nearly every Pacific amphibious landing after March 1944 and struck the critical first hits in the sinking of the super battleship Yamato.  Her pilots are also credited with the first strikes against Tokyo since the 1942 Doolittle Raid.  During the cold war, the Hornet had the honor of recovering astronauts from both the Apollo 11 and 12 missions.

In her 22 years of active service, more than 300 people lost their lives aboard ship.  The majority claimed during combat, others from shipboard accidents, and others from suicide.  It has the dubious honor of having the highest suicide rate in the Navy.

Various members of California Paranormal Research have had the fortunate opportunity to investigate on the USS Hornet, including Mandy, Bud, Deborah, George and Chuck.
