MY ASSIGNMENT: In 1989, Los Angeles Parapsychologist Dr. Barry Taff, videographer Jeff Wheatcraft, and television producer Barry Conrad invited me to interview Jacqueline Hazard-Hernandez and to attempt to render the ghost head that she had described to be flying at her from the rear of the attic.

THE CASE: In the summer of 1989 in a quiet neighborhood in San Pedro, California, Jackie Hernandez awoke in the middle of the night to see a ghastly vision in her children's bedroom. Sitting in one of the beds, looking right at her, was the image of a haggard old man. He wore a lumberjack flannel shirt and denim suspenders. Jackie was petrified by terror. And in that twilight moment of adrenaline, she caught a glimpse of the bright eyes. The story eventually (originally) aired May 6,1991 on LA FOX 11.

THE HAUNTING'S BACKGROUND: The San Pedro Haunting (also known as The Jackie Hernandez's Case) was a very frightening poltergeist case that occurred in late summer 1989 in San Pedro, Los Angeles, California. A woman named Jacqueline 'Jackie' Hernandez claimed that she and her two kids Jamie and Samantha were besieged by an unseen force in theirs house that manifested itself in form of disembodied head, black shadows, moving objects, strange smells and flying orbs.

The haunting started in November 17, 1988 as soon as Jackie moved to San Pedro and increased in crescendo as the months went by until it reached its violent peak in August 1989 and with an attempt on videographer Jeff Wheatcraft's life in September 4, 1989. An invisible force levitated an electrical cord in the attic and snaked it around the cameraman's neck lifting him to hang from a nail in the main apex support beam. A famous photograph of Jeff struggling to free himself from the cord on the nail can be found on Pintrest and around the web.

From October 1989 until 1993, the haunting continued even when Jackie finally decided to leave her bungalow with her two small children to a new home in Weldon, California. However, the evil spirit did not seem to give up on her as it "followed" Jackie to her new trailer.

The events were extensively documented by the Emmy-Award cinematographer Barry Conrad assisted by the famous parapsychologist in the field of paranormal, Dr. Barry E. Taff PhD. "The San Pedro Haunting" made it right into the hands of local media (LA FOX 11) and soon gained it's "haunting momentum" and became the greatest supernatural case ever recorded on television and shown to the wider audience as an evidence that ghosts and demons exist.

PROFILE OF THE GHOST'S PERSONALITY: One could easily speculate that back while still alive, the entity had been an adult with a childhood history of being sexually abused and that it might have thus perpetrated the cycle of abuse by abusing women and children--and even small men--when it or he achieved his full strength as an adult. It or he appeared to be a "Class 'A'" self-aware entity and to have a penchant for abusing women and children. It appeared to be a "Level 2 Spirit Obsession" entity with "Poltergeist" behaviors as compared with a "Level One" being a "Residual Haunting" where no entities are in any way self-aware and the activity presents as a "Recording" being "Replayed" and a "Level 4" being a spirit that could actually cause a "Living" person's death ("Level 3" is a hard-core old-fashioned and very classic 'Daemonic possession'").

It or he appeared to like to put the fear of death into an occupant or a visitor to the home and especially to the attic. If it could have killed Jeff Wheatcraft with it's ability to whip an electrical cord around his neck, it would have hung him as surely as an old 1820s hangman in Downtown LA. The fact that it could levitate the cord and thus move it into position around Jeff's neck and actually "Hoist" him up off his feet onto that nail through invisible meaning psychokinetic means puts the damned thing nearly into it's ambition to become a "Level 3 Daemon."

OUTCOME: As of September 2008, it is reported that Jackie's former bungalow is still being haunted as neighbors registered eerie activities happening around the house.
