Location (Fourplex at 73 La Fresa Court Parkway South Sacramento) Published by the "The Sacramento Bee." on Aug 17, 1986. revisited October 6 2006Warning! this is private property.
Each family in the quadplex experienced paranormal ghost activity. Months passed each of the 4 families thought it was the only one witnessing the unexplained running Noises or voices from the closets. Not until 2 neighbors happened to be in the same apartment And saw the kitchen cabinet doors opening and Slamming shut by themselves did they realize they were not alone.
Shortly after the whole building had emptied out, and the families started trading stories as they put blankets down to spend the night outside rather than tolerate another disturbing night inside with the ghosts.
Four families four experiences:
Apt 1: Bob O - "heard someone running on the roof. I would often dash outside, hoping to catch the culprit. I never found one.
Apt 2: Patty T - "It felt like something was watching me in the bedrooms so I began sleeping downstairs on the couch. Then on the couch I started hearing sounds like children running back and forth every night for three weeks."
Apt 3: Regina W - observed what sounded like running up and down the stairs inside her home. The last straw was walking past the linen closet, and observing forceful shaking as though something was trying to get out.
Apt 4: Larry and Sandra W (Patty T was present) - Witnessed the kitchen cabinet doors move by themselves, and the lights flick off and on. Then a odd blood shaped mass appeared on the floor which, subsequently disappeared.
The next day a parapsychologist came and investigated the units. She had a strong mental image of several murders. After reporting her results to the tenants, many felt there concerns legitimate.
"The Sacramento Bee" investigation of murder claims are as follows:
The Bee went back through its own files and police files but could find no record of any killings in any of the apartments at 73 La Fresa Court.
But it did find some curious connections.
On Feb. 11, 1981, Eldon "Dutch" Hilscher, 47, a former boyfriend of a woman who lived in apartment 4 at the time, was shot to death several blocks away. His killer was never caught.
Daniel Robida, who has lived next door to 73 La Fresa Court ever since it was built 16 years ago, recalled that Hilscher spent most of his time visiting the woman's apartment. She eventually broke up with him and had trouble keeping him away, Robida said.
A second, even uncannier killing occurred Feb. 23, 1979, in a fourplex across the alley from apartment 4. A self-styled private detective named Jessie James Turner, 30, was shot to death as he apparently slept on his couch in his apartment at 7392 Franklin Blvd.
Turner's girlfriend, 17-year-old Tenner "Tina" Smith, was handcuffed to her bed and was shot in the head. Her assailant left her for dead.
Two days later, relatives found Turner's body on the living room couch. Police were called and discovered Smith barely alive in the upstairs bedroom.
The woman recovered and her testimony helped convict a man who is now serving a prison sentence of 25 years to life.
Smith moved to San Jose, where in 1980 she was found beaten and strangled in a motel room. Police said the slaying had no connection to the Sacramento case." [ "The Sacramento Bee." on Aug 17, 1986. revisited October 6 2006]
A cleansing of the houses was completed. In the following months:
3 families said they have seen nothing strange nor heard voices or other noises since Cunningham's visit.
The fourth family, Larry and Sandra W, moved out, vowing never to return (the house was being cleansed again by the owner prior to new tenants moving in).
