805 Paranormal Society: Haunted History, Investigations & Tours
The 805 Paranormal Society is a community-focused group dedicated to researching, documenting, and sharing the paranormal history of Ventura County, California and surrounding areas. My mission is to explore the intersection of local history and unexplained phenomena through educational walking tours, historical storytelling, paranormal investigations, and public events through the eyes and work I do on a daily basis. By combining historical research with my mediumship, I aim to bring Ventura’s hidden stories to life and allow voices from the other side to beheard and vaulted in a new and different way. From haunted downtown streets to historic landmarks and coastal mysteries, Ventura Paranormal Society invites locals and visitors alike to experience Ventura’s past in a new and mysterious way.

TOURS & EVENTS INFORMATION
I offer guided historical and paranormal walking tours that explore the haunted legends, folklore, and hidden history of Ventura County. Our tours combine storytelling, local history, and paranormal traditions to create an immersive experience for visitors and residents alike. Each tour follows a carefully planned route through historically significant locations, sharing stories of the people, events, and mysteries connected to these places that I have done research on. Guests will learn about the area’s past while discovering the ghost stories, maritime legends, and unexplained phenomena that have become part of local lore.
Tours typically last 60–90 minutes and are conducted in small 12 person groups to allow for a more engaging and interactive experience. Included in all tours traditional paranormal investigation tools such as EMF meters, EVP, flashlights, spiritual communication techniques, and mediumship Spirit channeling.

Cemetery Memorial Park in Ventura, California, was established in 1965 by converting a neglected 19th-century burial ground (est. 1862) into a public park. Following a 1944 ban on burials, the site fell into disrepair; the city later removed most headstones of the 3,000+ pioneers buried there to create the park. Originally serving as the town's primary cemetery, it was divided into sections for Catholics (on land donated to Mission San Buenaventura), Protestants, Jewish individuals, and a section for Chinese, Indian, and other residents.
