The ghost-Lords of Oleander: (Warning: Graphic photos of ghosts)

The men who became ghosts in Oleander are mostly unknown. A few of them however were once prominent community folk who died and consequently creep the neighborhood with their lonely translucent wisps of their former selves. Some are harmless. Some have put locals into insane asylums. I've learned this through my research. The hush hush of it all. When I lived in Las Vegas I learned that all the suicides there were kept hushed as well. The Las Vegas Review Journal just doesn't report all the broken hearts that leap from buildings downtown and along the Strip to their violent demise. It's no wonder that Las Vegas has so many haunts. Here, in the Oleander neighborhood the old newspaper publisher can be seen crawling across the midnight streets on all fours, spit shooting from his blackened mouth, eyes like coal and mouth agape. Sources say it will crawl right up to you, jaws snapping in ghostly madness.

Other men are ghosts too: the victims of the Lords and Lords themselves. An entire group of ghosts can be witnessed torturing other ghouls and wretched gray mists of the unknown. One must simply explore the Oleander streets to witness such madness as the dead who once tortured real life souls to their very end.

Yokut ghosts and the Oleander wolfmen:

On stormy nights Oleander residents say they can hear drums pound as if the native heart of that very house, as if from the very ground, beating, pounding to take the building away and let the Yokut spirits rest in eternal slumber. Experts say that some Yokut ghosts have turned evil against man, and against the dark ghosts of Oleander. They can be seen in their wolf-like howl chanting for an end to being the burden of the white man's ghosts. It is a bitter rivalry, but one that has taken Yokut spirits to sometimes haunt anyone in the Oleander community.

The people perhaps buried at this holy Native American site were once just people like you or I. But they and their once thriving tribelets in this once water-filled valley have since been desecrated by the spirits of the Lords, the Oleander mansion itself, and the tree of blood and screams. Beware of hearing their drums. The cycle or their warpath is not one to be taken lightly. Their shaman leaders, black widows spilling from their ghost mouths, can curse any man into insanity, so the legend goes. I have never seen a Yokut spirit and for that matter, never want to. It has been terrifying enough to have seen so many ghost children. I don't think I could handle a Native spirit so desecrated by the touch of the white man.

The night of the dancing ghost children:

If ever there has been one horiffic night it was September 13th, 2004, the event I call, 'The night of the dancing ghost children.' This was the final night I took my camera out to the Lords house, and one of only a few events where I captured ghosts on film. These were also the most terrifying ghost-images I ever recorded.

You would think that after I had seen a few ghosts that I could handle seeing more, and that pictures, well, would be really easy to look at. That's just not the case. I have horrible goose bumps just writing this to you. And I will likely have nightmares because of posting these images online for the world to see. I had hidden them away, thought about deleting ever last one, as I don't particularly want to be haunted by the images not on film, but that I once saw in Oleander.

That night was like any other night. Until I decided to do more Lords research. I had heard of an etching that was made on the wall along the Oleander street mansion. It was supposed to be a faint pentagram, left by a certain Lord as a curse on all the other Lords for wronging him. It was Satanic ritual against Satanic ritualistic men. How utterly evil and demented is that? I didn't realize I was going to happen on a particularly deserted night. There seemed to be no cars, no transients, no wind, no crickets; just a pale glowing evening and me with a camera and flashlight. I find it so strange that every time I have ever poked around the sidewalks of that mansion that I have never seen a living soul. And I saw none that night either.

I did see several black widows creeping up the walls and hanging out over the side walk. If you know me very well you know I hate them and they make me tremble. I almost died after getting bit by one on Halloween 1999 in one of the creepiest episodes of my life, ever. But that's another story. I had my flashlight out and found the pentagram. No sooner had I snapped an image of it that I heard childrens laughter, and then children crying, and then a strange sad music that I cannot even begin to explain.

I first saw a pair of dancing ghost children. They were terrible looking, but held each other in the strangest embrace and danced across the lawn onto the sidewalk, around the gaslamp on the corner and then back onto the lawn.

And then the truly terrifying moment happened. The crying ghost child that I heard made my skin crawl so much as I saw it and it moved toward me. It kept crying, face half covered, and I expected as it was upon me to try to bite and claw at me. I stepped back but it only became more determined. It raised its arms, its chin raised and eyes opened wide. It's mouth wide to let out a horrid moan as is clawed toward me.

I couldn't breathe but was able to snap just a few photos that caught it just before it washed over me and across the street...

The demon ghost children

There is talk of ghosts so evil in the Oleander area that to even mention them is unspeakable. Released from the Satanic worshipping that went on in the Oleander mansion, the demon ghosts take form mainly in the legend of the ghost child, that is, the ghost of Jeremy Sebastian Sinclair. I have done research on this ghostkid, but keep in mind, he is not alone. There are rumors of other demon ghost children who may still take human form in the Oleander area, not to mention who may still wander as the most evil of ghosts. When living on Blanche Street just off Oleander, the little boy who supposedly died in the basement of the old teacher's house where I lived was not demonic. He merely broke candles, turned on and off lights, giggled once in a while, and never showed himself. But these demon children, I don't think my worst nightmare can begin to describe how these ghosts look and act. They literally want to tear through you and possess you.

The insane childen, now adults, still locked away, once haunted by the demon children, I do have some of the interview tapes. I may be posting them in my audio section, but they are not to be taken lightly. They detail murders and wretched episodes as these kids go into a demon trance and you can hear it all on audio. This is the far-reaching power of the Lords, to have caused even innocents to be locked up for life, so afraid of the spirit world that their fragile minds could not handle such ghostly attacks.
