Paranormal Investigations and Evidence from Orange County Ghost Hunters

Tucked into the rural community of Winchester, California, the Patterson House has stood for more than 130 years. Built in 1891 by early settler John Patterson, it is the oldest surviving private residence in the San Jacinto Valley and is now preserved by the Winchester Historical Society as a museum. Over the years, the house has earned a reputation as one of Southern California's most talked-about historic hauntings. Visitors have reported seeing apparitions walking the property after dark, as though still watching over the land. Others have described seeing a young boy standing silently in an upstairs window, pointing toward something unseen before disappearing. Inside the home, reports include unexplained footsteps, sudden cold spots, and antique rocking chairs, spinning wheels, and baby cradles that appear to move on their own.

Notable Events

• One of our cameras captured what appeared to be a spirit just outside the house when no one else was there
• Our EMF detectors spiked repeatedly in rooms with no obvious electrical source nearby. We also recorded dozens of high-quality EVPs, including responses to questions we asked out loud. Those responses led us to believe that members of the Patterson family may still be present in the house.

Here is a Video of our Evidence.

The client contacted Orange County Ghost Hunters after experiencing a growing pattern of disturbing and unexplained activity inside her home. She reported witnessing what appeared to be a man silently walk into a mirror and vanish, leaving her shaken and confused. Throughout the home, she began hearing unexplained noises and disembodied voices, often when no one else was present. Objects were frequently found moved from their original locations, sometimes appearing in places she knew they had never been before. She also described sudden cold spots that seemed to follow her from room to room, creating an overwhelming sense that she was not alone.

Notable Events

• A tripwire was set off.
• Orbs captured on Video.
• EMF readers were triggered.
• Live EVPs were heard.
• An unexplained cold breeze was experienced near the mirror where the client had previously seen a spirit. This breeze lasted approximately 10 seconds. The mirror was removed to check for a physical cause, but none was found, and all team members experienced the phenomenon.

Orange County Ghost Hunters investigated the historic Kellogg House, a famous Victorian-era home. During the investigation, we captured an image of a small child peering out of the attic window. The team also recorded numerous EVPs (electronic voice phenomena) believed to be the voices of the former residents, Hiram and Helen. We detected orbs, EVPs and elevated EMF (electromagnetic field) readings throughout the evening. Here is a Video of our Evidence.

Most of the graves belong to pioneers of Rosemead and various other neighborhoods of the San Gabriel Valley. Decedents of these families are still being interred today. Local lore also suggests that Savannah Memorial Park is a site for unexplained paranormal activity. In the 1920s the city widened the Main Street Valley Boulevard in which construction crews unearthed dozens of sets of human remains outside the cemetery fence. Most of the skeltons were reburied in the graveyard but some deteriorated so much that workers left them and simply paved over them. Also the employees at the fire station nearby and residents have been claiming paranormal haunting at the areas for years, We have investigated this cemetery a couple times and every time we have we have captured several EVPS. Here is a Video of our Evidence.

Some of the history of Black Star Canyon is very violent as their was a massacre of the Native American Tongva tribe in 1831 when a group of fur trappers attacked and killed the Tongva people in the canyon for allegedly stealing horses from a group of fur trappers. It is believed that the spirits of the Tongva people who were killed in that ambush still remain in the canyon today. Many people claim they have see ghosts of Native Americans walking the trails after dark. There have also been reports of people hearing faint sounds of tribal chanting somewhere off in the distance. When we walked the trail in dark we clearly felt like we were being watched and we heard drum beats and chanting. We saw many orbs and one even circle around us behind a tree and were able to snap a photo of it as it came around from back of a tree.
