About us
Meet fellow paranormal researchers near you! Bay Area Ghost Hunters (BAGH) is primarily a networking group for the free flow of paranormal information both in person and on the internet. Skepticism is appreciated, but close-mindedness is not. We meet at least once a month at haunted historic locations, somewhere in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Featured event
BAGH’s 20th Anniversary Bash with Kirsten Langston at the Claremont in Berkeley
If 20 years isn’t a good reason to splurge and dress up a bit, what is? It’s Bay Area Ghost Hunters’ 20th anniversary and we’re planning a very special event. We found a beautiful venue that is also haunted and has catering. Parapsychologist Loyd Auerbach has agreed to give us a talk related to his work and Psychic Medium Kirsten Langston, who appears on the Third Eye Champagne channel on YouTube, will be topping off the evening with a special live Drunk Tarot reading.
The Claremont has had reports of unexplained footsteps, flickering lights, phantom voices and apparitions throughout the history of this 111-year-old building with the fourth floor having the highest concentration of its activity. It is believed to have the spirit of a little girl, who tragically died in an accident. Another reported apparition is believed to be that of Harriet Thornburgh, who lived on the property before the Claremont was built, but moved away before a fire destroyed her magnificent dwelling. (That’s folklore; go figure.) Several players of the San Antonio Spurs moved to different rooms after witnessing some paranormal activity. According to one of their stars, Tim Duncan, they heard baby noises and children running in the hallway when none were there.
This intimate function is limited to 60 people, including the BAGH hosts. The $355 fee pays for the cost of the venue, food, Kirsten’s personal appearance, food, other miscellaneous fees and food. (Did I mention the food is the biggest cost of this function?) Our schedule is:
6 p.m. doors open
7 p.m. several tasty appetizers and a few desserts served buffet style
8 p.m. BAGH organizers welcome everyone
9 p.m. Loyd Auerbach has the floor
10–11:30 p.m. Drunk Tarot with Kirsten Langston
During Kirsten’s channeling, she’ll touch base with the ghosts of the Claremont. She gives famous people preference while reading, but we’ll save some time for questions from the audience as well. Please be advised her readings are for mature audiences. For those who would like a sampling of Kirsten's work, she has both a YouTube channel and website with many videos of her work. YouTube has been shadowbanning many of its users, so if anyone would like to see her readings uncensored, please go to her personal website. You'll find both at the links below:

For those who would rather not face a long drive at the end of the evening, the Claremont has graciously offered us a discounted room rate for those who want to stay overnight. Please be aware that we have been warned that room rates are subject to dynamic pricing. The sooner rooms are booked the less they will cost. At present, they're $245 at this link. Regular price is $404. Click here for more details and booking:
For those who will be leaving at the end of the evening, the Claremont is offering discounted parking, $15 for self parking, $25 valet.
Tickets for this event are not refundable, unless it is cancelled or rescheduled, but can be transferred. BAGH hosts will be wearing their flashing ghost necklaces.
So please come help us celebrate our 20 years of meeting up. It's been fun meeting like-minded people and giving them a safe place to talk about their paranormal experiences.
I hope to meet many more.

Let's go see Ebenezer at AMC Saratoga in San Jose
AMC Saratoga 14, 700 El Paseo de Saratoga, San Jose, CA 95130, USA, San Jose, CA, USTickets are now on sale and the details for this meetup are no longer tentative.
A Christmas Carol is probably the most famous ghost story in our culture and has been in public domain since the turn of the last century. Is it really surprising that another movie version is being produced? This one, Ebenezer, stars Johnny Depp as Scrooge, with a cast that includes Ian McKellen and Rupert Grint. For a trailer, please go to:

We’ll go see this ghost story at the AMC Saratoga, which has a haunting reputation of its own. According to The Shadowlands website, “Poltergeist/Presence very strong in this 14 screen multiplex. House lights flicker on & off, muffled laughter/whispers, also arm rests lower & raise themselves up of their accord, especially in theatre 5. Also Workers report in the projection booth a shadowy figure can be glimpsed, & lurks around projector number 5.”
The Shadowlands had posted this activity long before the previous El Paseo de Saratoga complex had been demolished and rebuilt, so it left me wondering if the website’s story had been updated since the theatre was rebuilt. However, tearing down a building does not make intelligent spirits go away. They’re more likely to hang out at places that give them joy and they can be movie fans too. Paranormal activity at the complex was confirmed by a BAGH member who had worked there at a previous meetup. Lots of stories still surround this complex. Our resident ghost whisperer, Madeleine Harmath, will be joining us, so who knows what she’ll see?
To save everyone money and me the paperwork, please book your own tickets at the AMC website. We will be going to the 1 p.m. showing. I booked my seat in Row E. The following link will take those interested to the booking page. Please pay close attention to the details when booking tickets.

For those who are interested in going for a meal afterward, we’ll be going to Jack’s Restaurant & Bar in the parameter of the Westgate Shopping across the street.
Parking in the lot is free and plentiful. BAGH hosts will be wearing their flashing ghost necklaces. Look forward to see everyone there.
