**NEW** Additions On Our Site "La Exaltacion De La Santa Cruz" Culturally Beautiful....
This is a really special place and a great way to finish off my adventures up in Santa Cruz since this city would never have existed without its Spanish Mission. The Mission was more like a giant ranch and most of the local native tribes were kind of forced into Catholicism by the Spanish which in turn also exposed the Ohlone and Zayante tribes to many diseases they were not immune to ultimately leading to the tribes demise.
This Mission was built in the 1790's but floods, earthquakes and fires plagued it until the Holy Cross Church was built. Today's mission is merely a replica but the artifacts, buildings on site, stone wall ruins and cemetery are old. In fact many of the natives were buried on Mission Hill where the church had been built over many graves. While I did not uncover much paranormal my time here was limited and I did the best I could. Simply because without this church you never would have had Santa Cruz. The mission, cemetery etc are some of the oldest sites in California in relation to the coastlines first explorers.
This update has many flowers not often you see flowers on paranormal sites but then again I do not do things like any other group in the country nor is my methodology. There is more to see like I said a convent, dormitory and other buildings I did not get to see. I may or may not return but we had to add this place on our site so that when other people visit our cases in Santa Cruz they can click a link and learn about the Mission which really is the foundation for this locations existence.
Back a couple hundred years ago its easy to imagine a group of Padres journeying from there galleons along the river following it to the top of this hill where they planted a giant cross naming the site of there first mission here. The fact is people died on this hill more then likely ghost haunt this church the mission itself has a very creepy vibe to it but today serves more as a gift shop and museum. Its an important part of Monterey Bays theological history and I am happy to bring it all to you to enjoy on my birthday weekend.
If you want to check it out directly this is the link hot and fresh off the press lol....

I wished I put this out earlier but I been sick, busy and other personal things going on. But it is out for you to enjoy and my next addition on the site will be MASSIVE. It will be my urban exploration of Angel Island which has a hospital, military base and quarantine station it is bomb and when I put it out your going to really appreciate it hopefully the same way I did when I took a boat over to the island got off then backpacked on the island to trespassed and see the sites. No regrets man were always journeying and bringing you guys a variety of places. We do not just bring you cemeteries or churches or haunted houses but also forts, military installations, hospitals and anything really I can get my hands or camera on lol.
I hope everyone has a great weekend I expect to be busy its a four day birthday weekend which means dinner, offroading, hiking, exploring, presents, cake, going to see Solo and a whole bunch of other cool shit. So I wont be here much but I will leave all of you with this little gift and although its a small addition its important we educate people not just about ghosts for example but history which is very relevant to America's growth and early beginnings. Make sure for my birthday you support my fundraiser of the one and only Catmandu right here in the Carson City Nevada area at https://www.facebook.com/donate/2007758609297440/ thank you so much. Ill see what kind of stuff I can find this weekend I have mines, ghost towns, abandoned farms and all sorts of places I can go the sky is the limit really!
Peace,
