April 14, 2012 Saturday 1500 Hours:
Mare Island Shoreline Heritage Preserve has a reputation of being haunted. Many people make claim that they have witnessed the paranormal on Mare Island. Mare Island has the US Navy’s oldest cemetery and naval ammunition depot in the Pacific. If you do visit Mare Island, please stop by the Visitor Center at 1595 Railroad Avenue, Mare Island, Vallejo, CA 707 249-9633. Check out their website at: www.mareislandpreserve.org

Before the white man hit the shores, Native American Indians were on this land. In 1775 Spanish Explorer Perez Ayala found this island and at one time the island was called Isla de la Plana by Ayala. When General Vallejo’s horse swam over to this island, they were so impressed at the loyalty of General Vallejo’s horse, they renamed the island Mare Island. Mare Island is a very impressive Navy Shipyard and it’s still active, as you can see the military throughout the island.

We had a lot of land to cover and what I enjoy the most about these type of investigations is that everyone can go, all of the HPI investigators, all of the HPI family members. It’s like a big family reunion. It was nice seeing Soulseekers Paranormal Research, but it was also nice seeing:

WHAT KIND OF ACTIVITY HAS BEEN REPORTED ON MARE ISLAND?
Debbie Daquisto says that she saw an apparition come up from the ground and go back into the ground, she called this apparition the ‘Elevator Man’. People have seen apparitions. People have heard disembodied voices. People have taken pictures of orbs and some amateur ghosthunters have captured EVPs.

WHAT EVIDENCE DID WE GET?
We started at 3pm. We investigated the cemetery, numerous military bunkers, ammo depot, the visitor center, abandoned buildings, the hospital and the morgue. When we started off, we were not getting anything. I thought for sure this investigation would be a bust. To my surprise, as the sun went down, the activity picked up. HPI Paranormal Investigator Mark Mummert was getting pretty excited as he heard numerous people were getting EVPs and anomalies in their photos. One investigator that touched a tombstone, became overwhelmed with sorrow as she envisioned a Navy sailor lost at sea. She had to be taken home. Another investigator envisioned 3 girls burned in a fire. But, I know, you want to hear the evidence that proves that Mare Island is haunted. East Bay Paranormal obtained EVPs with intelligent knocks. Central Valley Paranormal obtained a heat signature of an entity on their FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared). EVP captured at the Morgue that says ‘ordained’. There were a lot more EVPs and there will be follow-ups to this story and I will let you know where those EVPs can be heard at and who captured them. We did capture a lot of designer orbs, strange colored light orbs in our photos. Special Note: Orbs are not proof of the supernatural, unless we can show intelligence, then we can claim that the orb is an actual spiritual containment field. So far, the EVPs are our best evidence and it seems we obtained many EVPs this night. This night was not a ‘bust’.
