The Haunted Cottage in Oroville
By Paul Dale Roberts aka The Demon Warrior

The X-Files ring tone on my cell phone is finally starting to drive me nuts. The last few days, my phone has been ringing off the hook in regard to paranormal activity that is happening throughout the United States. I believe I have some upcoming stories that may take things into the next level.

Now, lets get to the Oroville preliminary investigation. The date is: January 5, 2010, Tuesday. Occupant Susan Argeris Brown lives in a senior citizen cottage complex. Various occupants in this complex have crossed over into the other life. Susan says that she is a sensitive and her first paranormal experience was when she was 16 years old.

Some of her experiences have been:

1. In another home, while playing cards, the song Rock your Baby came on by itself and the visitors in her home freaked out.

2. Many old photographs of her family display orbs or ectoplasm. She showed me the photos.

3. In another home, she heard a voice, looked in the mirror and saw her boyfriends deceased mother in the mirror. Her boyfriends deceased mother was murdered, stabbed numerous times. When Susan saw her boyfriends deceased mother in the mirror, there was a constant loud banging sound, it sounded like a metal door slamming against a wall.

4. Susan once encountered an African American woman entity. She was petite and she floated around in the air. This entity grabbed her by the ankles while she lay in bed. The entity appeared after the sound of thunder and disappeared after the sound of thunder.

5. Susan once froze up in a restaurant, during the freezing moment; she had a vision of her friends nephew. The next day she learns that her friends nephew was shot and killed.

6. Susan at times feels like she is being watched or followed.

7. On a shower wall, she saw the words written on the steamy shower wallAug 26. There were other words, but they were illegible. August 26 turned out to be the date that her husband died.

Now that Susan lives in the cottage, she feels the presence of her deceased husband. At the cottage, paranormal activity has started. Recently she had a big entity lie on top of her and presses his or her shoulder into her body, while a little entity sat on the corner of the bed and left an impression on the bed. Because of this, she called UC Davis for help and UC Davis referred her to HPI and I was called on the case.

I spent the night in her cottage. I want to thank Susan for her hospitality; she prepared corn dogs, crab cakes, coffee, macaroni and cheese for me. It was going to be a long night. The results of this preliminary investigation are found in my FINDINGS and CONCLUSION.

FINDINGS:
No EVPs. No photographic anomalies. I felt like I had someone pull my hair while I lay on the mattress. The tugging on my hair was electrically charged. I also was touched once on the leg and once on my lower back. An electrical charge was felt.

CONCLUSION:
Inconclusive. A full-on investigation is warranted. If Susan is a sensitive, she may have entities that are attracted to her, she is like a light beacon and the entities may have a message for her to relate to the living. Perhaps the entity goes from one cottage to another cottage. One occupant in this cottage complex says that she feels she may at times have paranormal activity in her cottage. This occupant was quite the character, as she showed me pictures of her daughter that used to work directly for the Bee Gees. I feel like I was touched, but could it have been my over-active imagination? I need to investigate this home again to make a final assessment of the situation.

And to finally end this article, I received the email below, its quite interesting. I did not change the format of the text, the spelling, grammar or the caps used by the writer.* This is how the message was sent to me, in original format.
