History:

The original owner of the property, King Camp Gillette (January 5, 1855 – July 9, 1932), bought the property in 1926. Gillette was a businessman who is now popularly associated with the shaving razor and The Gillette Company.  Gillette’s innovation was the inexpensive, disposable blade of stamped steel. He died in Los Angeles, California, he was almost bankrupt at the time of his death, due both to his having spent large amounts of money on property, and to his having lost much of the value of his corporate shares as a result of the Great Depression.

King Camp Gillette is located at 26800 West Mulholland Highway in Calabasas, CA.  The master plan of the ranch was designed and built for Gillette in the late 1920s by renowned architect, Wallace Neff. The architectural style of the property is Spanish Colonial Revival.  After Gillette’s death, his wife sold the home to the movie director, Clarence Brown.  In 1952, Bob Hope bought the property, immediately giving it to the Claretian Order of the Catholic Church, which operated a seminary on the grounds for 25 years.

April 2005, Gillette Ranch was purchased for $35 million by the Santa Monica Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority as a haven for all living things in perpetuity, by a partnership consisting of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy.

Currently, the property is used for filming the TV Show, The Biggest Loser that airs on NBC.

There have been many accounts of unexplained paranormal activity associated with the grounds; from shadow figures, apparitions, and unexplained disembodied voices and noises.  Many feel these unexplained occurrences are attributed to those who once inhabited the grounds. The Frisk and Brandt houses on the far western portion of the property are said the be the most active, also the basement area has been reported to harbor unexplained activity.

Evidence:

Due to overwhelming audio contamination during EVP sessions conducted by Clare, no EVP was logged.  A few odd sounds were captured, but it cannot be determined whether it was ambient noise or that of another investigator at the site.  Multiple EVP sessions were being conducted in various rooms in the house. Further attempts will be made in the future to minimize audio contamination.

While at the “White House” towards the end of the investigation, the team conducted an approximately 45 minute interactive REM-POD session. The response type was red for “no” and green for “yes”.  The REM-POD seemed to heavily interact with all questions presented.  The video below is edited for length.

Conclusion:

Was the above interaction with the REM-POD that of paranormal activity or a stray frequency or signal that coincided with the questions?  For now, we claim it as unexplained.

Built in 1928, it is the former home of actor Robert Montgomery and his family. He had the house built from materials that were transported via mule to the site. Its style was to be that of a hunting lodge and residence. The home was also inhabited by some of his celebrity friends like Charlie Chaplin, Marion Davies, and others.

In the 1940s, it became home to Earl and Beulah Montgomery (with their family of six) until 1968. It went on to become a retreat/headquarters for the Center of Perfect Liberty and was eventually purchased by the Fuji Corporation in the mid-70s. Retaining the majority of its original architecture, it has been subjected to some modifications through the years. Now, its interior sits covered in graffiti.

During an investigation of one of the bedrooms on the second floor, a spray paint can seemingly was thrown into the room.

The following is an excerpt from the report:

There were a couple EVPs that have since been disproven through the collaboration of Rob, Jerry, and Clare.  The following EVPs have yet to be disproven and their interpretations are as follows:

1. “…table..”
2. “I don’t understand.”
3. “Stop.”

While in an upstairs bedroom, Clare and Rob discussed an overdose by a woman named ‘Linda’ that died in the nearby bathroom. Rob stood by the entrance to the bedroom while Clare stood in the middle of the room. While discussing this, a black spray paint cap seemingly dropped into the room from the direction of the doorway and landed on the ground between Rob and Clare. Clare having been looking in the direction from where it came from, was able to eliminate the possibility of it been thrown or kicked by Rob. Also, it was noted that Clare and Rob were paying specific attention to the ground before entering the bedroom while commenting on the overabundance of rat droppings. The spray paint can was not seen by neither Rob nor Clare on the ground before entering the room.

Clare did not have an audio recorder on at this time so an EVP session was not conducted by her. Although, she did have a GoPro video camera which she immediately turned on after the incident occurred. There’s no other occurrences of a possible paranormal nature on the video camera footage.

There were no other unexplained or peculiar occurrences observed or experience by Clare during the investigation. The day was wet and windy, which provided a lot of ambient and environmental noise.

A brief History:

Established in 1927, Barney’s Beanery is one of the most famous eateries in Los Angeles; known for its drinks, famous chile, onion soup and its rock n’ roll roadhouse atmosphere. Originally founded by John “Barney” Anthony in Berkeley CA, it now sits on the historic Route 66 on Sunset in West Hollywood, CA. John first served his special blend of chili burgers and onion soup to soldiers back in 1918.  In 1920, he opened his first Barney’s that was exclusively for men.

1927, Barney relocated the Beanery to West Hollywood, CA.  The location had originally been Indian trails and the surrounding area was primarily a huge poinsettia field.
