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.

Santa Cruz Ghost Hunters
  
For nearly two decades, Santa Cruz Ghost Hunters has been investigating the unexplained through paranormal research, historical research, and field investigation.
We work with integrity, compassion, and an open mind, always looking for natural explanations before considering the supernatural. Our investigations are ethical, respectful, and evidence based.
We conduct both private and public investigations. Your experience can remain completely anonymous, or, with your permission, we can help share your story.
We don’t promise answers. We seek them.

2021 Paranormal Investigators & Law Enforcement Team Up!  Santa Cruz Ghost Hunters joined forces for a special investigation of the historic Nevada State Prison.
Our team included retired Sheriff and former Ghosts & Grub radio host Paul Tashiro, along with two former Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office crime scene investigators. From Stockton, Cherie and Rick Pruitt of Lingering Souls Paranormal joined us, along with sensitive investigator Mykensie Klein.
Three teams. One historic location. One unforgettable investigation.
