WE ARE RE-POSTING THIS FROM LAST YEAR BY POPULAR
DEMAND! GEPRS

Well Its Almost That Time Again Kids..

"Halloween" 

When ghosts, goblins,banshee's, pookas, and various other creatures of the night come out to play. Most of which are people in costumes looking forward to some fun on the one night of the year when you can use your imagination and be someone different or be who you always wanted to be.

But it is also a time when the veil in between this world and of the world of the dead is at its thinnest. To those of us in the Paranormal Investigative World it is not only a time of heightened activity among the deceased but it is consider by some a time of remembrance and respect for those that have past on. Many friends have asked about  what locations are Haunted here in Bakersfield. I will include a couple here. But remember that some of these places are businesses and homes and private property. It is also the last place that a person spent in their lives or chose to go back to when they past away.

So, please be respectful to the location and the people that reside there...With that being said have fun..haha!

Are you ready for....
The Top 5 Most Haunted Locations In Bakersfield!!?

NOTE: Hauntings Do Not Only Occur At Night But
It does Seem To Be At Its Strongest When Day To
Day Active Is Calmer And Quieter. But We Have
Obtained Just As Much Data And Reports In The
Day Time Hours...



1) Bakersfield Californian Bldg.

Location: 1707 Eye Street

Severity Of Haunting: Fair To High

Details: A German Shepherd Dog awaits eternally for his master to come back to the building, An old Security Guard keeps watch of the building, The Former editor of the paper is seen on occasion.

GEPRS Results: We have experienced some pretty strange things in this area as well as most of the buildings stretching around the downtown part of town. Starting at California through to 19th street on down.

2) BHS Campus

Location: 1241 G st.

Severity Of Haunting: Fair To High

Details: A young couple about  16 to 18 years old is often seen  on the upper part of the bleachers. The girl wearing a prom dress, the boy wearing a BHS letterman's jacket. (Also what has been discovered is that human bones were un-earthed during construction stemming from a hospital that was once there. Bones of medical amputees).

GEPRS Results: We have had many reports of sightings and activity here. Especially from people that have performed at the theater or worked in the various buildings on the property.

3) Downtown Bakersfield

Location: 18th, 19th, 20th, to Chester Ave. 

Severity Of Haunting: High

Details: Most of these area's have had reports of some sort of activity or sightings. Most are private residents therefore we can not divulge the exact addresses. But there has been many reports of  patrons and employees of businesses being touched. A ghostly dog has been heard barking {see Bakersfield California}. Ghostly figures have been seen wandering. There is one home that has been rented out, vacated, and rented out many many times over the past few years because it is so active with spirits. 

GEPRS Results: Two member of GEPRS have personally experienced ghostly activity at this resident and also at a house not far from the other. {Note: That we have discovered that most of this area had once been an old city Cemetery. Most of the inhabitants had been exhumed and moved to Union Cemetery but obviously not all of them. Bones are still reported being found when construction takes place. As well as sightings of ghostly figures.}

4) Garces Circle

Location: 30th St & Chester Ave. 

Severity Of Haunting: Low To Fair

Details: Father Garces is known to weep, move his hands, wave his hat, move his arms, and whatever part of his body that he can move. Usually to warn of an appending car accident or fender bender. (Personally we think he is just tired of standing in the same place. hahaha! And "Ironically" there had been talk of moving the statute to make a new Over Pass so he may get his wish.) So as long as you are careful and don't get into an accident or hit by a car at the circle, there may be a good chance to see this highly reported phenomena on Halloween Night.

GEPRS Results: None to report except what we have been told. 

And last but not least:

5) Kern County Museum

Location: 3801 Chester Ave

Severity Of Haunting: High

Details: Probably one of the most concentrated area's of active houses of buildings ever assembled. These are houses and buildings from all over Bakersfield and surrounding area's brought together into one spooky place. They may be having a walk through and for a small fee you too could have an experience like the many that have been reported there. {Once again this is a private area after a certain time so please only go there during business hours when the museum is open}

GEPRS Results:

A few especially active places are the old school house were children are still heard singing and talking, the old jail that has a feeling of despair and sorrow, and if you stand on the slab of concrete that is reserved for entertainment, located in the center of the surrounding buildings. You will always feel like someone is watching you from the windows of the buildings themselves.

Well thats about it..there are many many more locations but these are just a few that are regularly reported to be Haunted.

Oh wait ....one more just in...

6) Central Park

Location : 21st & R St.
**Caution : It is not a safe area to go there at night, so please use extreme caution**

Severity Of Haunting: Low To Fair
{We have rated this based on the many reports we have
received, but not from actual data or investigation.}

Details: There is a ghostly woman in white that is seen floating around the area. It has been reported that actual human remains of a woman have been found there. One account is that the remains had a bullet hole.

GEPRS Results: The reports of the human remains all here-say
and in no way have we confirmed it to be fact.
