It is a visitation or

5
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:50,200
believe hauntings to be similar

13
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:30,300
about the haunting of Jackie 
Hernandez. 

14
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,600
In the fall of 1988, Jackie 
Hernandez found herself fully 

15
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,200
immersed in a disastrous 
marriage. 

16
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:06,000
Pregnant with her second child 
and caring for her then 

17
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,800
two-year-old son. 
Jamie, she made the 

18
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,900
life-changing decision to leave 
her husband and moved to San 

19
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:14,200
Pedro. 
California. 

20
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:25,500
In November of 1988, Jackie and 
her two-year-old son Jamie moved

21
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:29,900
into an old turn-of-the-century 
Bungalow in San Pedro, 

22
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:37,100
California immediately after 
moving into the home, strange 

23
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:43,000
activity began to occur. 
One of the beds repeatedly would

24
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,600
collapse and fall with no 
apparent reason. 

25
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,800
At times Jackie overheard, 
muffled voices coming from the 

26
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,600
attic and the family cat would 
run through the home as if it 

27
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,800
were chasing something on the 
walls. 

28
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,300
One particular day. 
Jackie had a friend over 

29
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:12,100
Christina. 
While the two were washing 

30
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:16,100
dishes, the walls appeared to be
dripping in odd, blood like 

31
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:23,700
substance, Jackie herself 
witnessed things fly through her

32
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:27,100
home. 
Particularly pencils, would fly 

33
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:33,700
out of a pencil holder after 
Jackie gave birth to her 

34
00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:39,100
daughter, Samantha, in April of 
1989, the activity grew worse, 

35
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:44,100
with or Herbs Mist, strange 
smells and apparitions. 

36
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Jackie also began having very 
vivid dreams of a young man in 

37
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:59,500
the San Pedro Harbor. 
She described the setting in the

38
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:05,300
dreams to be of the 1930s. 
And the young man was being 

39
00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:12,700
clubbed to death. 
In some of these dreams. 

40
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:17,800
Jackie became the young man. 
Reliving, his experience of 

41
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,900
being clubbed with a lead pipe 
then held under water to drown. 

42
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:30,600
One night after a dream, Jackie 
woke in the night, he used the 

43
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,300
restroom and saw an old man 
snarling at her and then he 

44
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:44,100
vanished Into Thin Air. 
On another evening after putting

45
00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:48,100
her children to bed. 
Jackie encountered an apparition

46
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:53,500
form out of the darkness. 
A face, then a full body of an 

47
00:04:53,500 --> 00:05:00,700
old man. 
She felt strongly that this 

48
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:04,800
wasn't too friendly spirit and 
could see the coldness in his 

49
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:11,900
eyes. 
As the activity carried on 

50
00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:16,100
including water, like substance 
is pouring out of the light 

51
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:21,300
fixtures and picture frames, 
flying off the wall, she knew 

52
00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:25,200
she had to seek help. 
So she reached out to a team of 

53
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,700
paranormal investigators led by 
dr. 

54
00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:37,200
Barry Taff. 
Dr. Taff holds a doctorate in 

55
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,600
psychophysiology with a minor in
biomedical engineering. 

56
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,600
He's a world-renowned 
parapsychologist. 

57
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:57,800
Dr. Taff brought a small team 
that included paranormal 

58
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:03,500
investigators. 
Including cameraman Barry Conrad

59
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,300
and photographer, Jeff 
wheatcraft. 

60
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,400
On August 8, 1989, dr. 
Taff and his team arrived at the

61
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,900
San Pedro, home of Jackie 
Hernandez, and her two children.

62
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:27,900
The team brought cameras 
infrared detectors, as well as 

63
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:30,900
other equipment to assist in 
their investigation. 

64
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,400
During the initial interviews. 
Dr. Taff stated that the team 

65
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,000
heard what sounded like a 
200-pound rat running around in 

66
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:51,500
the Attic. 
Other team members recall 

67
00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:54,600
feeling pressure similar to 
being underwater. 

68
00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:02,100
During the evening, a 
photographer explored, the 

69
00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:07,400
Attic. 
And his camera was unexplainably

70
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,100
ripped out of his hands by an 
invisible force. 

71
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000
The lens was found separated 
from the camera body. 

72
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,200
The second exploration of the 
addict was performed by 

73
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,500
photographer. 
Jeff wheatcraft, who was also 

74
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:33,900
attacked by an unknown Force. 
We'd craft had a clothes line 

75
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:38,100
wrapped around his neck and the 
line was hanging from a nail. 

76
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:45,000
Team member Gary was able to 
free wheatcraft from the line. 

77
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,400
The team was able to obtain 
short video footage of we craft 

78
00:07:53,400 --> 00:08:00,800
hanging from the attic ceiling 
The team also has proof of the 

79
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,200
objects moving balls and streaks
of light. 

80
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,500
In the fall of 1989, Jackie 
left, the San Pedro home and 

81
00:08:13,500 --> 00:08:21,500
moved to Weldon in Kern County. 
Her husband made an attempt to 

82
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:25,400
work through their marital 
issues and the move to a new 

83
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:32,900
home seem to end the haunting. 
Jackie, finally felt comfortable

84
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:35,299
and believe life was going back 
to normal. 

85
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,100
But within just a few short 
months, the marriage was in 

86
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:48,700
turmoil again. 
Jackie found herself alone. 

87
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,500
Once again, as her husband had 
left the home. 

88
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,200
The home in Weldon was a remote 
location and Jackie had little 

89
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:07,100
to no friends or Neighbors. 
Many days, she spent hours on 

90
00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:09,700
the phone chatting with her 
friends from the Los Angeles 

91
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:16,900
area. 
One day, Jackie moved a TV into 

92
00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:20,100
a storage shed with the help of 
a few neighbors. 

93
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000
When moving the TV, the three 
saw the image of an old man on 

94
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,700
the screen. 
According to Jackie, it was the 

95
00:09:32,700 --> 00:09:35,100
same old man. 
She'd seen in the San Pedro 

96
00:09:35,100 --> 00:09:41,400
home. 
That same night Jackie was kept 

97
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,200
awake by a loud pounding sound 
coming from the shed. 

98
00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:52,400
Jackie called the investigators.
And once the team arrived at the

99
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:57,100
trailer and Weldon, they began 
experiencing disturbances within

100
00:09:57,100 --> 00:10:05,600
their equipment, Though, 
Jackie's new home was over 300 

101
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,900
miles away, it appeared the 
hauntings had begun again. 

102
00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:17,700
The investigative team used a 
Ouija board. 

103
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,700
The board told them, it was a 
spirit of a young man who died 

104
00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:30,600
in San Pedro. 
The same young man that Jackie 

105
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,800
dreamed about. 
The spirit indicated that he was

106
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,300
murdered in 1930 at the San 
Pedro Harbor. 

107
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,800
And his murderer lived in the 
San Pedro home that Jackie used 

108
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:51,600
to live in the session. 
Ended when Jeff wheatcraft was 

109
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,300
thrust into the air and thrown 
against a wall inside the 

110
00:10:55,300 --> 00:11:00,500
trailer home. 
He abruptly hit the floor and 

111
00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:08,300
was unconscious. 
Once awake he stated he felt 

112
00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:12,800
something squeezing his 
diaphragm then remembers hitting

113
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:20,400
the wall and being unconscious. 
Jackie decided she needed to 

114
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,100
take action before anyone else 
was injured. 

115
00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:30,100
She began researching old 
newspapers to determine who the 

116
00:11:30,100 --> 00:11:38,500
spirit of the Ouija board was 
finally, she found a story 

117
00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:43,700
regarding Herman Hendrickson, a 
young sea man whose body was 

118
00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:48,700
found floating in the San Pedro 
Harbor on March 25th 1930. 

119
00:11:52,900 --> 00:11:56,600
Are there research LED Jackie to
believe that the murderer may 

120
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,100
have been a man by the name of 
John Damon? 

121
00:12:00,900 --> 00:12:08,200
He built the home. 
She lived in, in San Pedro, in 

122
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,400
the spring of 1990, Jackie 
visited. 

123
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:18,300
San Pedro. 
Once at the cemetery, she saw a 

124
00:12:18,300 --> 00:12:21,300
ball of light that led her to a 
gravestone. 

125
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,100
The gravestone was for John 
Damon. 

126
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,500
Since then, the hauntings have 
stopped. 

127
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,600
Dr. Taff has always believed 
that Jackie was a magnet for 

128
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,700
poltergeists as a result of her 
emotional issues that were 

129
00:12:42,700 --> 00:12:49,700
occurring in her life. 
It was said during the time, the

130
00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:53,700
investigation team was present 
Jackie developed romantic 

131
00:12:53,700 --> 00:12:58,400
feelings towards Barry Conrad, 
which resulted in the attacks on

132
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:04,800
Jeff wheatcraft. 
Jeff and Barry were very close 

133
00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:08,200
and always together, which may 
have caused emotional distress 

134
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,100
for Jackie causing the 
Poltergeist to attack him. 

135
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,100
We will never really know what 
caused these hauntings. 

136
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:26,400
And why did they stop? 
Could the spirits have settled 

137
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,700
once the names of the spirits 
were known. 

138
00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:36,000
I guess we just leave this to 
the Realms. 

139
00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:45,900
Don't The Unexplained. 
Very interesting. 

140
00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:53,100
The spirit world reaching out to
find Justice, such an intriguing

141
00:13:53,100 --> 00:14:01,400
subject and 100%, unexplained 
therefore fitting, the genre of 

142
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:07,000
our podcast. 
All right, I feel like she might

143
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,400
have been a medium or 
unbeknownst to her a psychic. 

144
00:14:10,700 --> 00:14:13,400
I agree. 
It seems apparent that she was 

145
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,400
sensitive to the other side and 
the spirit knew it. 

146
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,500
Yeah. 
Dr. Taff had, felt that because 

147
00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:22,500
of her emotional state. 
At the time, she was opening 

148
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:26,700
herself to a poltergeist, but a 
poltergeist is more energy 

149
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:31,300
rather than his spirit that 
wants had human form with her 

150
00:14:31,300 --> 00:14:34,100
emotional state. 
As it was at the time. 

151
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,200
He could have unlocked something
in her Mind's Eye to see 

152
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,200
spirits, even just for a moment.
It seems.
