Ghost Girl Seen at Olivas Adobe During
Tours
A shadowy form was witnessed in a doorway at the historic house during a
Halloween tour at the Olivas Adobe. The group was
touring the site late at night when the small dark shadow, the size of a
little girl, walked into the doorway of the children’s room on the second
floor. The witnesses were thrilled at the apparition. The old Olivas Adobe
continues to provide evidence of supernatural activities.
Séance at Adobe may have at long last
identified the Ghost Lady!
Debbie Senate held a midnight Séance at the adobe parlor. It was a nerve
racking experience as Debbie fell into a deep trance and channeled a spirit
racked with pain. It is believed that she contacted the spirit of Maria
Anotcha Olivas who died in childbirth in the house over a century ago. It
now thought she well be the ghost.

A word from Richard Senate
In these troubled times it is easy to become discouraged and despondent. The
news is filled with depressing stories of stock market downturns and
unemployment statistics every day. It is now that you
need to reflect on what is really important about your life and your goals.
Each of us has a mission in life and I believe that mission is a simple one.
It is to make the world a little bit better than we found it. We
can’t all find a cure for cancer or bring world peace but we can pick up
our trash and do some good in the world.
My mission is to discover the truth nature of ghosts. I
got into it thinking that a scientific answer could be discovered.
I have been slowly pulled into a more metaphysical view.
The evidence collected provides clues that this life
isn’t the end but only a new beginning. Comments from ghosts seem uniform.
“Everything is OK,” they tell us. “Everything is as it should be.”
That is the message I have learned. The dead are not really gone but
waiting just around the corner, in the shadows, in that land that shall
never know pain or separation. For all of us the happy
day shall come when we will see our loved ones (and pets!) again and clasp their hands
in recognition. The message I have found is one not
of depression or fear but of hope and life. Everything
is OK. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Richard Senate
