You're listening to unexplained Realms the podcast. I'm your host Han. Joined by my co-host and producer a TV boo. Join us while we learn more about the haunting of Jackie Hernandez. In the fall of 1988, Jackie Hernandez found herself fully immersed in a disastrous marriage. Pregnant with her second child and caring for her then two-year-old son. Jamie, she made the life-changing decision to leave her husband and moved to San Pedro. California.
In November of 1988, Jackie and her two-year-old son Jamie moved into an old turn-of-the-century Bungalow in San Pedro, California immediately after moving into the home, strange activity began to occur. One of the beds repeatedly would collapse and fall with no apparent reason. At times Jackie overheard, muffled voices coming from the attic and the family cat would run through the home as if it were chasing something on the walls.
One particular day. Jackie had a friend over Christina. While the two were washing dishes, the walls appeared to be dripping in odd, blood like substance, Jackie herself witnessed things fly through her home. Particularly pencils, would fly out of a pencil holder after Jackie gave birth to her daughter, Samantha, in April of 1989, the activity grew worse, with or Herbs Mist, strange smells and apparitions.
Jackie also began having very vivid dreams of a young man in the San Pedro Harbor. She described the setting in the dreams to be of the 1930s. And the young man was being clubbed to death. In some of these dreams. Jackie became the young man. Reliving, his experience of being clubbed with a lead pipe then held under water to drown.
One night after a dream, Jackie woke in the night, he used the restroom and saw an old man snarling at her and then he vanished Into Thin Air. On another evening after putting her children to bed. Jackie encountered an apparition form out of the darkness. A face, then a full body of an old man. She felt strongly that this wasn't too friendly spirit and could see the coldness in his
eyes. As the activity carried on including water, like substance is pouring out of the light fixtures and picture frames, flying off the wall, she knew she had to seek help. So she reached out to a team of paranormal investigators led by dr. Barry Taff. Dr. Taff holds a doctorate in psychophysiology with a minor in biomedical engineering. He's a world-renowned parapsychologist. Dr. Taff brought a small team that included paranormal
investigators. Including cameraman Barry Conrad and photographer, Jeff wheatcraft. On August 8, 1989, dr. Taff and his team arrived at the San Pedro, home of Jackie Hernandez, and her two children. The team brought cameras infrared detectors, as well as other equipment to assist in their investigation.
During the initial interviews. Dr. Taff stated that the team heard what sounded like a 200-pound rat running around in the Attic. Other team members recall feeling pressure similar to being underwater. During the evening, a photographer explored, the Attic. And his camera was unexplainably ripped out of his hands by an invisible force. The lens was found separated from the camera body. The second exploration of the addict was performed by
photographer. Jeff wheatcraft, who was also attacked by an unknown Force. We'd craft had a clothes line wrapped around his neck and the line was hanging from a nail. Team member Gary was able to free wheatcraft from the line. The team was able to obtain short video footage of we craft hanging from the attic ceiling The team also has proof of the objects moving balls and streaks of light.
In the fall of 1989, Jackie left, the San Pedro home and moved to Weldon in Kern County. Her husband made an attempt to work through their marital issues and the move to a new home seem to end the haunting. Jackie, finally felt comfortable and believe life was going back to normal. But within just a few short months, the marriage was in turmoil again. Jackie found herself alone. Once again, as her husband had left the home.
The home in Weldon was a remote location and Jackie had little to no friends or Neighbors. Many days, she spent hours on the phone chatting with her friends from the Los Angeles area. One day, Jackie moved a TV into a storage shed with the help of a few neighbors. When moving the TV, the three saw the image of an old man on the screen. According to Jackie, it was the same old man. She'd seen in the San Pedro
home. That same night Jackie was kept awake by a loud pounding sound coming from the shed. Jackie called the investigators. And once the team arrived at the trailer and Weldon, they began experiencing disturbances within their equipment, Though, Jackie's new home was over 300 miles away, it appeared the hauntings had begun again. The investigative team used a Ouija board. The board told them, it was a spirit of a young man who died in San Pedro. The same young man that Jackie
dreamed about. The spirit indicated that he was murdered in 1930 at the San Pedro Harbor. And his murderer lived in the San Pedro home that Jackie used to live in the session. Ended when Jeff wheatcraft was thrust into the air and thrown against a wall inside the trailer home. He abruptly hit the floor and was unconscious. Once awake he stated he felt something squeezing his diaphragm then remembers hitting
the wall and being unconscious. Jackie decided she needed to take action before anyone else was injured. She began researching old newspapers to determine who the spirit of the Ouija board was finally, she found a story regarding Herman Hendrickson, a young sea man whose body was found floating in the San Pedro Harbor on March 25th 1930. Are there research LED Jackie to believe that the murderer may have been a man by the name of John Damon?
He built the home. She lived in, in San Pedro, in the spring of 1990, Jackie visited. San Pedro. Once at the cemetery, she saw a ball of light that led her to a gravestone. The gravestone was for John Damon. Since then, the hauntings have stopped. Dr. Taff has always believed that Jackie was a magnet for poltergeists as a result of her emotional issues that were
occurring in her life. It was said during the time, the investigation team was present Jackie developed romantic feelings towards Barry Conrad, which resulted in the attacks on Jeff wheatcraft. Jeff and Barry were very close and always together, which may have caused emotional distress for Jackie causing the Poltergeist to attack him. We will never really know what caused these hauntings. And why did they stop? Could the spirits have settled once the names of the spirits were known.
I guess we just leave this to the Realms. Don't The Unexplained. Very interesting. The spirit world reaching out to find Justice, such an intriguing subject and 100%, unexplained therefore fitting, the genre of our podcast. All right, I feel like she might have been a medium or unbeknownst to her a psychic. I agree. It seems apparent that she was sensitive to the other side and the spirit knew it. Yeah. Dr. Taff had, felt that because
of her emotional state. At the time, she was opening herself to a poltergeist, but a poltergeist is more energy rather than his spirit that wants had human form with her emotional state. As it was at the time. He could have unlocked something in her Mind's Eye to see spirits, even just for a moment. It seems.
