Spellbinding Tales Bookstore Investigation
Alameda, California

____________________________________________________________________________________

NOTES

We would like to thank Gloria from www.ghost-trackers.org for inviting us to come along on this investigation. The Spellbinding Tales Bookstore is located in Alameda, California. The bookstores owner Karen has been witness to plenty of paranormal occurrences there in what used to be a 100 year old railroad station. Among them have been a dark figure strolling throughout the store, strange banging and crackling sounds coming from the walls and books that have inexplicably flown off the shelves.

During our investigation Debby was alone in the loft when she felt an overwhelming sensation of 2 female entities rushing towards her trying to get her to leave. She also sensed that during the day when people were milling around the bookstore, the spirits there would go upstairs and stay in the unoccupied apartments that are above the bookstore. This Psychic impression seems to be right on because on one of our evp a spirit can be heard saying " I'll get in the apartment". At one point Mark was making his way up the stairs to the loft and remarked that you can feel a thick heavy energy at the top of the stairs as if someone does not want you up there. This was felt by more than one person that night. This investigation turned out to be a very fruitful one. Make sure to listen to the evp we recorded and watch the video footage we captured.

There is a book out written by Karen on the haunts of Alameda. It is a great read and her story of this bookstore is included. You can check it out at www.spellbindingtales.com

If you are ever in the area you owe it to yourself to stop in because just from the sheer amount of paranormal happenings this is one of the most active places we have ever been in. We have very recently been in contact with Karen to find out what has been going on, and from what she has told us the strange occurrences are continuing with no signs of slowing down.
