Investigations
The Glen tavern inn
The Glen Tavern Inn in Santa Paula, Ca has been many things since its birth in 1911 and haunted is at the top of the list. Room 307 is thought to have multiple ghosts, namely, Calvin and the prostitute. There have been several claims of a spirit named Calvin occupying this room and also the lobby. It is said that a cowboy named Calvin was shot and killed during a game of cards back when the 3rd floor was used as a gambling den. During a renovation, a western-style hat was discovered behind one of the walls. Another spirit seen and heard in room 307 is an unknown woman believed to have been a prostitute who was murdered, and some say beheaded. Her body was left in the closet and later discovered by a maid.
The Queen Mary
It is said that a male ghost has been seen in the engine room where he was killed while the ship was still in service, there have also been reports of the sound of children playing in the pool. The most accessible haunted area is near door 13 in the engine room,where a young man was crushed trying to escape a fire. He was only 17 and had lied about his age in order to get the job. Another of the accessible haunting areas is the front desk of what is now the hotel portion of the ship. Sightings include a mysterious woman in white who will be sighted walking until blocked from view by a pillar and never coming out from behind. Also, a couple has been seen walking down the hall to either side of the main entry to the first class rooms, but are never seen in the hallways themselves.
Old Barstow Hospital
This investigation was special to S.C.A.R.S. because our members work in the medical field. It was especially important to me because I worked at this hospital from 1996-2007. I had many encounters with death at this hospital as well as personal experiences with my own family as patients. Being back here in these empty halls was a bitter sweet experience I'll never forget. Our evidence consists of personal experiences, our equipment being tampered with, to photographs, video evidence and interactions with the flashlight experiment. What an amazing experience.
Graber Olive House
Since before Steve and I founded S.C.A.R.S., he had been telling me how he had wanted to investigate The Graber Olive House in Ontario. After being invited to a paranormal conference by The Paranormal Housewives, and getting to see the history and beauty of the property we had to make it happen. With the help of the guys at Darklands Paranormal, we got in. Great history, great location, great investigation!

Haunted Ponds
Palmdale -Haunted Ponds - There's a place next to the California Aquaduct and Bear Creek Rd. where a house used to be, around 40 years ago. legend has it that the woman that lived in the house was hung on a tree branch over a pond on the property by her jealous husband. It is said that on clear nights when the moon is bright you can see her hang from the tree & hear the sound of a woman weeping. Equipment used: Gopro Hero 2 for video of the investigation, Slim7 IR camera for stationary recording of hot spots, Bell+Howell camcorder for production of investigation, Sony digital recorder for EVP evidence, K2 meter for EMF detection, IR lights for night vision, Canon and Nikon digital cameras for still shots. This first EVP that we caught was heard at the pond away from the foundation. The audio has been enhanced and the hum removed so our voices sound distorted but the EVP remains unaffected. We think it is saying animal or a**hole.
The second EVP was heard in real time as a growl over the hill from the foundation of the property. We believe that it is saying help me. Listen closely after the second cracking of twigs. It is very faint and fast.
George Air Force Base
