Oleander ghost hunter stories: Part one - By N.L. Belardes

Ghost hunters of Oleander: part one

I’ve taken a lot of pictures of the ghosts of Oleander; many of you know that. The subject was brought up on KRAB radio when Meathead, Desi and Rocky Nash all completely freaked out over the matter. I don’t typically blog about ghosts. I figure, if you want to see them, you will look at the links on my homepage and learn about the kid ghosts, the psych ward, the punk freak songs, and so on… Yes, there are more images of occurrences to come, but for now I have some new happenings…

Seems appearing on the radio has spurned some local ghost hunters into action. These are just normal folks interested in the paranormal, interested in discovering more truths to these urban legends of Oleander child ghosts and the Oleander Skin Walker, a Yokut spirit that I write of in Lords: Part One. These aren’t stories to take lightly. Here’s what I have learned so far from the local ghost hunters who went into action just last night… Be prepared to get freaked out. Do not read these passages alone in the dark:

I heard you today on MD&RN (KRAB RADIO). Checked out your web page. It really raised my interest in the story. I'm a good friend of ***** and we are planning to go down to the house at night. I'm going to take my wife she is VERY receptive to spirits and stuff. My son is even more open to channeling spirits, but due to his young age and the possible evil nature of these spirits, I will not take him. Also I have a good ****** story if you'd like to hear it? I will get back to you or I'm sure ***** will too on what we find or see. Another question I have is about source ..3. Where is this canyon he writes about in his letters to you? Have you been there? On the Sinclair kid have you thought the name could be *******? That is my wife’s family and there is some very strange ppl in her line with some very interesting stories. All the ones I've meet are VERY into the spirits and see ghost or whatever you want to call them regularly. Looking forward to the book coming out.

Just wanted to let you know. Last night after ******* went to the house with 2 friends. We parked 3 houses up and walked down to the house. We were there no more the 5 min standing in front of the house. There was no wind at all, but the bushes and trees started to rustle like there was. We felt no breeze on our faces. My friend Richard who is a ********** freaked and made us leave, Kinda crazy. Gonna try and make it back this weekend, we will let u know what happens. By the way have you ever gone into the bushes and around the back of the property? We might try.

I went there again at lunch the house just fascinates me. I notice on the East side shrubs looks like 2 tunnels that go back to the back part of the house, freaky even during the day. I know ******** lives there now. who is he and is he connected? Also who live in the guest house? Do you know? I got into The Native American history in 1991. I've do some research and while going to school in Phoenix hook up with a kid who still lives on the Reservation. One weekend we went up and took Peyote and sit and listened to the elders tell stories (very cool). Anyway, the Indian ghost sounds like a skin walker to me. Don't know if you know what that is? If not I'll tell you (if you care) it's very powerful with magic you don't want to come face to face with one, trust me…

ok, a Skin Walker is, how I was told, an evil magic spirit. Takes the form of a wolf that walks on it's back legs. The story goes if you ever came face to face with one it would be a mirror image of you. But the you, if you where the most evil thing that walks this Earth and if you didn't die out of terror you would go insane. That night we ate the peyote the elders began to talk in their native tongue and became worried. ****** then told me, “Get in the truck! We have to go now!” We got to the truck and I asked why. He pointed to a ridge and I saw a wolf running on its back legs VERY FAST. It turned toward us just about 100 yards away. ****** pulled out a pistol and shot. The bullets fell out of the gun straight to the ground. 9 rounds did the same thing. We all got out of there fast. The next day i asked, “Was that real? Did that really happen?” We went back to the site and there on the ground right by the tire tracks, 9 perfect slugs. Crazy shit, bro. So if you go take some strong medicine with you. Something from a family member or loved one that is special to you…
