The Discovery/History Museum

Image Credit: Nancy Bradley Sometimes a building is not haunted itself; the artifacts it holds are. This is the fantastic case of the Discovery/History Museum in Old Town Sacramento, California, located on Ist Street in Old Sac. It was not too long ago that as the Celebrities Psychic I received a call from the Discovery Museum. They had been hearing strange noises. Employees talked of things being put one place and found in another. Most of the activity was happening upstairs they told me. One employee said “I saw a person upstairs at the old carriage. It was before we opened the doors for the day. The person was dressed in ‘old time’ clothes and I thought, well, they must have put in another mannequin. I went up to see, but then it disappeared! I came back downstairs quickly and waited by the door for the other employees to get here! It was very frightening.”

Other employees spoke of the elevator starting up by itself, the computer in the office just above the downstairs print shop turning itself on, and things being flung to the floor. Obviously, as any reasonable people, they were looking for answers.

The Discovery Museum building was built in 1984. Not that newer buildings don’t see their share of ghosts. Of course they do. Sometimes what you see are the people who lived at the site prior to the new building being built. Sometimes they are just passing through, and sometimes they represent someone you love or a passage in time. Some are simply comfortable where they are and decide to stay.

But as we related to you before, there are two types of activity – ghost and spirit. Spirits are people who choose to visit us from the other side of life. Ghosts, as you remember, are an imprint in time, a videotape, if you will, of when someone was there. They are gone now, but you are tapping into the energy of when they were around. We do not know of any building or house that is not “haunted” at one time or another. We were here to see just what and which type of activity the Discovery Museum was experiencing.

“To me it appears the majority of the energy is connected with the carriage upstairs and the mannequins in the period costumes” according to the employees that have had experiences. Going upstairs it was easy for me to pick up the ghost of an old doctor around the display of ancient medical tools, and I told my crew “He is a ghost, an imprint. He is not there at all, just his energy is.” You cannot have conversation with a ghost as again, it is a videotape of when someone was there, nothing more.

As we walked on, fans, onlookers and employees following, I was able to see two people that were spirits. Ah, communication! The female told me her name was Dolly, and the man next to her was George. She is short, her hair blond, slender. The man is much taller than her, his hair white like spun silk. He says he is her father, and that she is a young girl of 17 years, inexperienced and vulnerable and so he is concerned with keeping her close. “We are going to pick up Martin, her intended” he told us. Although this is clearly a reenactment of an event that happened in the past, these are real entities, drawn to this place by the carriage that brought them happiness. I watched as she gets into the carriage, and the father stands outside next to the mannequin placed at the carriage. A dog barks, and they disappear into the ether, leaving the carriage behind, but NOT before she was to tell me what happened. “Martin died falling from a horse just before we got married” she told me. “We are together again now” she continues, “but I love this old carriage and what it represented, and so I follow it to wherever it goes.” Ah, memories, we all have them and follow them in one way or another.

The ghostly imprint at the medical instruments is a doctor. His hair is dark and he is about 5’ll”. He is wearing a long brown coat, down almost to his ankles. He appears to be about 165 lbs., and we believe intuitively and through impression that in life, he traveled back and forth when people needed him. The name was Bill, William Wayne Smithe if you prefer.

Moving further down the path, we see period costumes. As I psychically Read the old clothing, it was clear to me what happened to the wearer. “He made it through the war” I could definitely determine about the man that wore the military attire. “The woman who wore this nurse’s uniforms name was Anne.” She went on to live on Long Island in New York and then went on to Canada where she raised three children.

We then passed the interment camp exhibit and I shuddered. “Such terrible things to have done and been a part of”. I was anxious to move forward, the exhibit made me sick to my stomach. In passing I said “Good to have it here as a reminder that it should never happen again.”

We walked to a table on display of a 1950s type kitchen and the energy brightened. “Such good memories there…” I could see the imprints. Using the table at one time was a young mother, thin and full of energy. Her husband and three kids sat at it, two boys and a girl. The mother was pregnant again, and very happy.”

The displays at the museum rotate and new ones come in all the time. Yes, the artifacts at the Discovery Museum in Old Town Sacramento were clearly haunted with memories when we were there. Not, again, by the building, but by the changing exhibits that come and go. So, clearly, there are new ghosts and spirits to explore all the time at the Museum, a Mecca for real investigators.

And as different exhibits come and go, so will the ghosts, as they pass through this time to the other and from exhibit to exhibit. Spirits can eventually get off the merry-go-round and get on to other things, ghostly imprints cannot. Everything holds an energy, and it is a strange phenomena, isn’t it?

When we were commissioned to check out the building the employees were willing to show us around and tell us their tales. Perhaps they will do it for you too. Of course now that there are so many paranormal groups around and they get sick of dealing with it, maybe they won’t any longer. Still, coming here makes for a fun afternoon.
