Paranormal activity: Local group checks it out

The October moon ducked behind scudding clouds, casting silvery flickers on granite tombstones.

"Peaches"? The head "investigator" is named "Peaches"?

Someone's jerking your chain, Michel! I visited this same cemetery 30 years ago this Halloween, when I was a senior at EHS. We saw nothing, heard nothing and scared each other silly.

But then again, we never knew anyone named "Peaches", either, nor did we place any credibility in "EVP's".

30 years later, I still don't!

But thanks for a good ghost story, and a great laugh.

Call in the real experts, Grant and Jason. Or Zak!

I hope these investigators like the heat, because it is going to be HOT in HELL!!

[a believer]

Unless you have seen it for yourself you will not beleive, Trust me I have seen ghost. maybe not at the Hermosa cemetery, but I have seen them ghost just do not come out at night like most people think and if you do not bother them they will leave you along. go to Mt. View cemetery during the day and you will see alot of activity there.
just because you believe in ghost,It does not mean you are going to hell. If you practice witchcraft then you will go to Hell.(You believe in God have you ever seen him.)I believe in god and have never seen him. There is no differnce. So before you judge check it out. Thats if your not too scared.

So many morons, so little time.... Look, paranormal activity is very real. It is well documented, and I have experienced it first hand more than once. There's some crackpots out there who are probably clinically insane, but there are plenty of normal people who witness unexplained, paranormal, or ghostly activity. You don't have to believe, but don't claim superior intelligence to those who do believe, that only makes you ignorant.

By the way:
RialltoResident - there is only 1 L in Rialto, and you're obviously ignorant to anything that you aren't capable of understanding.

Neighbor - your comment was absolutely stupid.

A Believer - good intentions, but practicing witchcraft will not land you in hell. Witchcraft (as it pertains to paganism) is part of the oldest faith/religion/spirituality in the world and is widely misunderstood by closed-minded christians. It is not satanic, it is not fiendish, and it is absolutely not evil. Get your facts straight.

[Rialto Resident]

Hey, "messiah"? When we want your opinion, we will give it to you. Until that time, go troll somewhere else. Your inane comments are not necessary here.

[Frequent Hermosa Visitor]

I have been a frequent Hermosa Cemetery visitor for numerous years. This is one of the most peaceful places that I have ever visited. There couldn't be more love in that place...

[Messiah]

LOL@RialtoResident - you need professional help. The day that you moderate this messaging system is the day that you can tell me my opinions are not welcome and not look like a moron doing so. But that's not the case, now is it?

[Eye on the city]

To all of those who believe in the paranormal I say "You watch too much television". Did you ever stop and wonder why shows like "Ghost Hunters" and the like are on "SYFY channel? Its all fiction. Those who say they have seen or heard ghosts should look for other earth bound explanations, wake up or seek professional help. It's not healthy for your well being. You are in the same category as those who say they have been abducted by UFOs.

[Sun Reader]

Wow cool story. Who is this group?? You should do a story about those women!

[Fan of Sun]

Loved the story!!

[PEACHES]

wow, I love how mean people can be when they're commenting. We've known Michel for a while, and yes, MY REAL NAME IS PEACHES. You must have a REAL name JANE or SUE or something like that. I didn't get to pick my name and it actually defines my sunny character. and BTW, Michel's name is pronounced Michael, but she's a woman. You must want to make fun of her name, too.

And to those naysayers of the paranormal, yes, those shows are just hype. It does not show us sitting around for HOURS with absolutely nothing happening. We have people call us because they cannot find any normal explanation for the things that happen to them.

And we do go to homes where absolutely nothing happens. And we do find NORMAL explanations for the things that do happen. We do not turn to them and say "get professional help" just because something is happening to them that they (or people like Eye on the City) do not understand or believe.

To anyone actually interested in learning about our group, our website is www.calparainvestigations.org . We do help people with their paranormal activity. And sometimes we're their last resort before someone like Eye on the City thinks they should be locked up.

Thanks to those who keep an open mind and liked the story. Michel does a fantastic job!

[Sun Reader]

It is a field of research that is not fully accepted or understood. People have a tendency to fear what they do not fully understand. The television shows have brought to light a lot more interest in the field of paranormal research. It has around a lot longer then Jason and Grant..lol.
Only people that have an open mind can learn new things.

[Derek Adkins]

You tell em peachy lol We love you and the group!

[GHT 1440]

First off I am a paranormal investigator in this group. I am what most consider a skeptic, however some of the cases I have been to and the evidence we have captured has been very compelling. In most cases “paranormal activity” can be explained by man made or natural circumstances. As much as we try to capture evidence and document incidents of activity we help people. We investigate to either determine if they have paranormal activity, or disprove stories of activity through scientific means. Then we present evidence and documentation when it is captured.
Did I mention we work for FREE!!
Unlike the TV shows, we are there to help the residents living and not living, the TV shows are there for RATINGS!!
Thank you to all the wonderful comments and support, its great to know you took the time to read the story. Unlike those that have nothing better to do than make negative comments about things they are uneducated about. Keep in mind if you are negative here in life you will be negative in the afterlife, don’t you think its time for a change?

[Jennifer]

Wow! yeah, some people have nothing better to do than be hateful and mean! How sad is that?
I am a member of CPPI and proud of it! I became a Paranormal Investigator because of the many experiences my children and I have had throughout our lives. I wanted to help others who are having experiences and want answers. Sure, a lot of things can have logical, non-paranormal explainations. Sometimes , there is really something going on.
I have a lot of luck capturing EVP's (electronic voice phenomenon)These are voices of people that at the time the voice was captured, you know that you could not physically see them. Unless you have had experiences of your own, yeah, it can be hard to believe.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Just because your opinion is different than someone elses, it doesnt mean you should bash them for it. To each his own.

[Kool Kitty]

Hey Rialto Resident,

You can come off of time out now and go play on the playground. Oh and by the way, happy 6th birthday tommorrow!:)

[Paranormal]

I personally have had paranormal experiences since I was a young girl. It is not something I went looking for but something that happened. This is the case with a lot of paranormal investigators including Jason and Grant of Ghost Hunters and Zak of Ghost Adventures. Many years later I do go on investigations which only strengthens my belief in life after death. Even if you are not religious, you still can believe in the paranormal as we are energy and energy never dies.

There are few more then those three out there. They just have TV shows.

[RV Mike]

I am also a member of IEPI and investigate with Peaches and the group who's membership numbers are in the hundreds. Its sad to me how people seem to bash what they simply do not understand.I joined because of my own experiences with a sincere wish to understand whats behind what cant always be explained. I would encourage those of you with closed minds, step out of TV world and look around. There is way more in heaven and earth than can be explained by your tiny minds.
