Went here with my parents and sibling when I was younger, you definitely feel a presence here, my mom felt it too. I distinctly remember feeling it where the ladder was (you’d know it when you see the ladder I’m talking about, there’s this dummy positioned like it’s walking up the ladder). I’m totally sure there are more than one ghosts there but I remember specifically feeling that there were two male ghosts following us on the tour- the first one was just kind of hanging around following us then the second one kind of felt cautious or protective of the environment.
I am not a ghost hunter ,but I have to say I have encountered ghost .. I remember my boyfriend taking a cruise around there and I seen a soldier clear as day , he had a shotgun in uniform right there by the ladder ducking down and looking up .. I still remember that
those are all demons pretending to be ghosts/spirits of the soldiers. demons do that all the time.
omg SHUT UP WITH YOUR STUPID LIES!!!
Anyone know much as far as how to get in? ABANDON or what. Jessica has got all the answers to it all doesn’t she . Life death everything. So sure arent you. Why are you on a haunted places website if you believe ghosts are just demons? You need to be behind those walls were you belong(church) Go to 700club.com or something.
I agree Robett!! Everytime you look at southern california area for ghost sight seeing or hunting jessica says its demons.
