A Haunting in Esparto

True Story: Flashback to Munich, Germany - 1975. Porkchops aka
Paul Dale Roberts is working undercover narcotics with C.I.D. US
Army Criminal Investigation Division -
D.S.T. (Drug Suppression Team).
Porkchops is sent to Munich, Germany and meets up with 2
undercover female MPs (Military Police). My undercover MPs will be
working in the capacity as prostitutes and I will be working in the
capacity of a pimp. Target: A former GI (soldier) now civilian, living in
Germany who is trafficking heroin, selling heroin, black-marketing and
pandering German females to soldiers and German men civilians.
Suspect is known as Big Daddy Homicide. He received the nickname
because it is rumored that he sold heroin that contained a lethal
amount of strychnine in which 3 soldiers overdosed and died. Big
Daddy Homicide's motto was: Feel my pride, or face my homicide.
Big Daddy Homicide was always strapped. DST felt if anyone can get next to this pimp, it would be
me. I had a new appearance for this undercover role, I wore a black velvet brimmed hat, black ankle
length fur coat, plush velvet black and white inside jacket with large white buttons, silk black pants,
black alligator polished shoes, sunglasses, wooden cane with top-sided silver mounted gargoyle. I
was used to playing the role of a black marketeer, drug dealer, drug trafficker/transporter and drug
addict, but this is the first time I played the role of a pimp. My female MP undercovers wore their mini-
skirts and low-cut blouses. By hanging out at various Munich discotheques, I was finally able to
target the suspect by sporting my wares in his territory. After negotiating with the suspect, he would
give me a small percentage cut for my 2 female undercovers services. I played along with his
business pimp savvy. As time went by, I became a good friend to Big Daddy, a confident and
business partner that handled some of the more treacherous hazards of his trade. He would just
smile as he snorted his 'white lines' (Cocaine). His bravado and braggart ways, lead to confessions
being collected by my 'wire'. When we took Big Daddy down for the final count, it was dog eared
determination that lead to the success of this operation. An operation that lead Big Daddy Homicide
to Fort Leavenworth.
This is the same kind of determination that is needed with paranormal investigating. We must never
falter, we must never waiver, we must continue with the hunt. You may go on many ghosthunts and
find no results, but if you keep on looking, it's like playing Russian Roulette...you will eventually get
shot and find those results. The afterlife exists, but you must be head strong and determined, it's like
police work, I can't tell you how many times I pulled surveillance and a drug buy doesn't pan out, but
when you do have results, the adrenalin rush is incredible and you feel like you have accomplished
the impossible. Never give up my ghost hunting friends, never.
Date: April 10, 2010 Saturday.
Tonight we are headed to Esparto. Location: 26265 County Road 21A, Esparto, CA. The occupants
of this home are seeing strange orbs flying around their home. They want validation that the home
may be haunted and if it isn't haunted, what is the answer to the strange orb activity.

area. See her findings here:
Hi Paul!
The town your client resides in, Esparto, was first known by the name Esperanza and then
Escalante. I found a few more articles by using the lesser known names.
Here is a clip of an article dated 1890 mentioning the various name changes:
ARTICLE
Esparto is part of Yolo County which was formed in February 18, 1850. Many believe it is the
corruption of an Indian name meaning "a place abounding in rushes".
There were several reports in Yolo county of disappearing cattle and murderous thieves, Also
reported were groups of men coming upon residences in the middle of the night, demanding to be let
in while claiming to be looking for someone, usually an outlaw, but were outlaws themselves and at
times brutally attacked. These reports all took place in the early 1850's and were from reputable
sources. From what I could find they did seem as organized as a crime ring.
From archived pdf dated 1852:
"The impression is therefore entertained that an organized band of robbers and murderers have
taken up their abode in that direction among the mountains, who make frequent incursions into
settled neighborhoods for the purpose of theft and murder."
Though this town did have their share of violence during the gold rush it was more sporadic than
many of the mining towns. What probably helped is that soon they discovered there was more profit
to be made in agriculture.
Not as many of the pioneers died from epidemics either as in other areas, the smallpox epidemic that
hit was a reported as being a weaker strain.
A lot of the deaths that made the news were accidental. Such as drowning, falling out of a coach,
falling under a wagon, etc.......And the rare ones recorded that died of smallpox, one being a 3 yr old
girl. Except for a few very early deaths during exploration. The first explorer there killed many an
Indian and his group was attacked equally and with the same amount of force. They both had high
casualties. .
There was not that much info or records I should say, on the actual address but I did note it is in a
historic area and only 3 minutes away from the old pioneer cemetery. The Capay Cemetery was first
established in 1876 by the International Order of Odd Fellows. In the early 1900's their building was
destroyed by fire and they lost many records. The Lodge membership did not survive either. What
little records that were saved were scattered and sent out to other lodges and all eventually lost.
There are a lot more people buried in that area and in potters graves than actually accounted for. In
the potters grave only two names were recorded.
The Oriental graves were not marked either. However I did see where the Chinese dead were
exhumed and shipped back to their country to receive a proper burial.
There are also reports of workers, stillborn babies, and those that were ill being quietly buried in the
middle for the night without any record whatsoever, their death never recorded. This is just
speculation on my part but it could be that they lost more from smallpox than they let on. I noticed in
a lot of the newspapers from the 1800's they almost seemed to laugh it off, playing down the deaths.
Back then other towns were so afraid that they began kicking their townspeople out with little or no
provision, to die in the middle of no where totally alone.
Here is a link that mentions the cemeteries: CAPAY VALLEY
If anyone is curious here is a link to a Genealogy Archive with an interment list of many of those
buried at Capay cemetery. Some of the graves are missing their markers and the older wooden
markers rotted away years ago.
INTERMENT
I attached a photo taken from that site of an older Indian burial ground that had been used for
hundreds of years. It is not marked anywhere but you can see the indentations in the ground. It is
on the north end.
QUOTE: ...the site is covered with yerba santa and other shrubby growth, among which can be seen
shallow pits, the location of old graves. The last burial here occurred in the 1950's. No monument
marks the site. END QUOTE
The American Indians in that part of California were the WINTU (WINTUN).
They spoke three different dialects, all belonging to the same language family. They were fishermen,
hunters, and gatherers.
For a brief history and great links for more in depth study on The Patwin/Wintun/Wintu Indians/The
Rumsey Band of Wintun Indians History:
WINTUN
This article is from a great website and gives a time-line plus additional links.
FOUR DIRECTIONS INSTITUTE
By the way, during the 1830-1833 Malaria epidemic/pandemic, roughly 75% of the tribe was wiped
out.
Note the "friendship feast" of poisoned food.
Here is another article and quote:
FRIENDSHIP FEAST
QUOTE: Settlers tried to control Wintu land and relocate them west of Clear Creek. In a "friendship
feast", whites served poisoned food to American Indians in 1850, from which 100 Nomsuu and 45
Wenemem Wintu died. More deaths and destruction of Wintu land followed in 1851. END
Have a great time!

Let’s take a roll call. HPI Paranormal Investigators present: Teresa Williams – Author of ‘Ghosts and
How to Find Them – http://publishamerica.com/teresawilliams and investigator for P.A.S.T
(Paranormal Activity Surveillance Team); Harold ‘Douglas’ Jenkins of Bay Area Central Valley
Paranormal; Elizabeth ‘Beth’ Jenkins of Central Valley Paranormal Researchers; Crystal Scudder of
Central Valley Paranormal Researchers; Tina Lee Haralson – Independent Investigator/Occupant;
Donette Wood – In Training; Karin Bacom – In Training; Mandy Haines – In Training; Kathleen Hunt
– In Training; Sherry Andersen – Professional Photographer; Kari Emery; Danita Cotner; Chris
Singleton – Audio Expert; Ann Dupire – Former Police Officer/Senior Investigator; Chantal
Apodaca/Senior Investigator/Psychic.
To start off this investigation we went one mile down the road to the Capay Cemetery, we may have
picked up 4 EVPs. Chris Singleton will check the EVPs on his laptop using Audacity. Photographic
anomalies were those pesky questionable orbs. I gave a historical briefing about the land and
property that I received from HPI London Researcher Laurie Rutledge. (See what Laurie discovered
at the link in this article). Tina the occupant explained in the briefing that she has captured mist and
orb activity in her photographs. Tina also explained that on one night she knocked on the wall 3
times and received 3 distinct knocks back. Sometimes Tina sees things with her peripheral vision.
We spent one hour at the Capay Cemetery investigating and then headed back to Tina’s home. The
3 areas that we will be covering is the back room area of the house, front area of the house and
outside perimeters.
There are three teams.
Team Dweezle – Ann Dupire, Lead Investigator. Team Members: Teresa, Tina, Mandy and Kari.
Team Casper – Chantal Apodaca, Lead Investigator: Team Members: Donette, Elizabeth, Kathleen,
Danita.
Team Charlie Bravo – Doug Jenkins, Lead Investigator: Team Members: Crystal, Karin, Sherry.
Equipment Being Used: Night Vision Camera, EMF Reader, Digital Audio Recorders, Digital
Cameras, Video Camera, 2 Laptops, Audicity Program, walkie talkies.
Special Note: I have received many phone calls from residents in this surrounding area, that have
seen apparitions walking down the road, in the cemetery and on various pieces of property. This is
where Shannon ‘Ms. Macabre’ McCabe, Chantal Apodaca and I investigated the farm of Dr. Apodaca
(Chantal’s uncle). Dr. Apodaca has reported a lot of paranormal activity on his property. Most of the
residents claim that the hauntings are benevolent. HPI considers this as ‘Casper Hauntings’. Casper
Hauntings are friendly entities that do not harm people in anyway.
EVP CAPTURED AT CAPAY CEMETERY:
Investigator asks: “What is your name?” EVP male possible voice answer: A word that starts with G
and it does not derive from the English language. Another possible EVP is a man saying his name is
'Country'. EVPs are being fully analyzed.
Special Note: The Capay Cemetery is full of wildlife from bats to turkeys to peacocks to native
domesticated birds to coyotes. We marked all animal noises. There was one comical situation in
which some bats came out of an evergreen bush and Chantal leaped 20 feet, the leap would have
been the inspiration for any Olympian athlete. The leap would have made Springheel Jack envious.
FIRST SESSION INVESTIGATION:
Theresa takes very unusual photographs of a moving shadow blob inside the home. Sherry
Andersen, our photo expert tried to duplicate the shot and was unable to, she explained to even
come close to having a shadow blob photo, you would have to turn the camera in an awkward
position and place your finger close to the lens. By taking a photo this way, she still could not create
a distinct black blob on the ceiling. This photo could not be debunked. No EVPs were recorded.
SECOND SESSION INVESTIGATION:
4 Investigators outside saw a creature with blue eyes, 3 feet tall that ran towards them, stopped and
ran away from them, it raised up on two feet. More questionable designer orbs were captured on
photographs. No EVPs were recorded.
THIRD SESSION INVESTIGATION
A séance was conducted by Chantal and I went outside to investigate the creature the 4
investigators witnessed. I was hoping to capture an elusive gnome. As I shined two high powered
flashlights into the field, I witnessed a small glowing light, thinking it was the eye reflection of a rabbit,
I steadied the flashlights towards the light and to my amazement the small light floated away into the
night sky. I could see car lights further in the distance at approximately a mile away. The small light
was no more than 300 yards from me. Did I witness a firefly that is not indigenous to the area or did I
see a mysterious will o’ wisp? I kept contact with base camp using a walkie talkie.
CONCLUSION:
The dark blob photo could not be debunked. The EVPs are questionable. I know what I saw, but didn’
t have a witness with me, I was concerned about the investigators who felt the intensity of the cold
outside. Is the home haunted? I can say there is unusual activity, it may have reasonable
explanations. This night I could not truly find the answers I was seeking. Further investigation is
warranted.
Special Note: The conclusion I wrote was in real time. When going home, I discovered what the will o'
wisp was. By using my flashlight in my own Redwood trees in my backyard, I centered on a bug. That
bug was a beetle. The reflection from my flashlight to the beetle's shiny plated back, will reflect a
glow and of course beetles can fly. I believe this is my will o' wisp. Debunked.
During the investigation, when I was chasing this 'will o' wisp aka a beetle', Doug joined me after
hearing me on the walkie talkie. A cat scared him and a horse scared me, but yet we were both out
there to tackle a monster. Yep, life can be crazy sometimes!

AMAZING FACT OCCURS DURING SEANCE:
Standing ovation to Chantal Apodaca, the girl does it again. As she talks to the occupant, an
overwhelming feeling came upon her and she was able to describe personal details to the occupant.
One of the details was the exact name of a person that the occupant was close to, that passed over
into the other life. As Chantal lead her team into an EVP session, they acquired an EVP of a man
'snickering'. As Chantal used her third eye, she went through the part of the alphabet, until she
came to the letter 'G', she stopped and felt the name started with a 'G'. From the letter 'G', Chantal
focused on this letter and came out with the correct name, in which the occupant validated.
