The historic 100 year old Glen Tavern Inn is located at Santa Paula, California. The three story Tudor Revival hotel has many stories of ghosts but, My team of ghost hunters were startled to run into one of them--and not one you would expect. Doing EVP research in room 307, on the 3rd Floor, we picked up a unique sound--the whimpering and bark of a dog. There were no dogs there and this was picked up on two machines at the same time. There was half a dozen witnesses as well. A psychic visiting the inn, hours before said she felt the presence of a large dog. What the group didn't know was that, this room was used in the late 1920s to house the Silent Movie Star--Rin-Tin-Tin. He made a movie here on location. The sound--in this room--made sense. This captured EVP confirms the haunted heritage of the Glen Tavern and confirms that ghosts are not always people.

Into the unknown country

"Ghost hunters should tread lightly. They are entering an unknown country where dangers lurk in dark corners and the unexpected can be normal. Here the bizarre is common. Still, curiosity and science compels us to advance." Dr. W. Manfield-Gibbs The search for answers to the greatest riddle of our time is in many ways like an expedition into an unknown land and as such there are real dangers. This part of ghost hunting isn't talked about much on the popular TV shows. Its out there. I know because I have seen it in some of the cases I have worked upon over the years. Evil does exist and I see it coming out more and more in the work does in the field. The talking boxes, I believe, can be as dangerous as any Ouija Board. I have heard some really negative stuff coming out of them. The quest must continue but I ask ghost hunters to be wary. There are dark forces out there. I believe such things are small percentage wise but they are there. Learn to protect yourself from psychic attack. If you get into something too deep feel free to call for help from others.

White House Ghosts

"Now about those ghosts, I'm sure they're here and I'm not half so alarmed at meeting up with any of them as I am at having to meet the living nuts I have to see every day." Bess Truman, wife of Harry Truman about ghosts in the White House. Truman openly talked about hearing a knock upon his door in the residence and answering it saw nothing in the hall--he attributed it to the ghost of Abe Lincoln. People have been talking about the phantoms since the Lincoln administration with Mary Todd telling of hearing Andy Jackson and holding seances in the Red Room of the executive mansion. The Mrs. Grant said she saw Lincoln who is rumored to be the most seen of the ghosts but, according to legend, he only appears when the nation is in trouble. Maureen Reagan is said to have encountered him in the Lincoln Bedroom. I would love to investigate that old house but I don't believe that's going to happen anytime soon.
