I had dinner at the Diamond Springs Hotel & Restaurant on Friday night. What a great experience. I mentioned to the waitress, Kathy, that I was a paranormal investigator and she brought one of the cooks, Leonard, to my table. After giving him one of my business cards,
Leonard took me on a tour of the locked rooms above the restaurant, where most of the paranormal activity takes place. Naturally, I didn't have any of my equipment with me! But I did feel very strong paranormal vibrations in certain rooms upstairs--in the bathroom I felt strongly that here was a presence. I also detected some paranormal activity taking place in the room to the left of the doorway and on the outside over the roof of the back of the building. Leonard told me that Nancy Bradley, local psychic and paranormal investigator, had also toured the building and said that the area where I felt strong paranormal activity is the exact spot where she felt a "Portal" or Vortex. Leonard then took me back inside the building underneath where Nancy and I felt activity, and I felt a presence in that area as well. Leonard relaid a story about a young lady patron who went into the woman's rest room and who came out screaming "Happy, Happy, Happy!" The poor child was petrified and refused to go back into the rest room when asked to do so by her parents. Leonard told me that "Happy" is reportedly the name of the little girl, one of the spirits who is believed to haunt the building.
They don't give access to anyone who asks, but they did for me because I proved to them that I was a genuine paranormal investigator. Many thanks for their cooperation. It was an experience that moved me long after I left the building. The owners also generously agreed to allow our 4-H YCT Historical Mapping project members to come back and do a full investigation of the building.
