Santa Cruz Ghost Hunters

IS IT A GHOST OR A GHOST STORY?

WELCOME TO YOUR PARANORMAL PORTAL
Santa Cruz Ghost Hunters is dedicated to researching and investigating the historical provenance of Santa Cruz County. We research unusual historical fact, myth, folklore, legends, and paranormal activity.

Come join us in our adventures and visit our Facebook pages, Santa Cruz Ghost Hunters or Brookdale Lodge Mysteries Explored.

Though generally a peaceful coastal city,
the dark stains from Santa Cruz’s past still linger. A former Spanish Mission, Holy Cross Catholic Church harbors a dark history of a brutal revolt of native Ohlone Indians that killed the cruel Father Andres Quintana. Frequented by mobsters and celebrities in its heyday, the famous Brookdale Lodges most talked-about guest is the ghost of a little girl who died nearby in 1892 after nearly drowning. Terrorized by three different serial killers during the 1970’s, the city earned the nickname of “the Murder Capital of the World.” Local resident Alfred Hitchcock derived inspiration for his iconic film Psycho from the haunted mid-nineteenth –century Hotel Mc’Ray. Tracing the city’s eeriest incidents back to their roots, historical researcher and paranormal investigator Maryanne Porter details these and many more stories of local legend and lore.

Frequently purchased at Amazon can also be purchased locally at Bookshop Santa Cruz, along with additional participating retailers.
