Now This is REALLY Cool!!!

Now This is REALLY Cool!!!. I had to go to fill my car up with gas yesterday. It's a necessity that always ends up costing me a lot of money. I drive a great all around kind of car ( Subaru ), and my gas mileage is decent, but, like so many of you, I hate doing this. I digress, though. While at the pump, I noticed an extremely large SUV one aisle over. The signs in the windows are what caught my attention. ( See the car signs do work ) Hotchkiss Paranormal Investigators. Huh??!!! We have Netflix at my house and my husband and daughter love to watch all of the paranormal shows. So this really caught my attention.

Here's what I know about this little known business so far. Hotchkiss Paranormal Investigators are in Hotchkiss, Colorado. That's a small mountain town in Delta County, Colorado. It was started by Hector Zerferino, a Hotchkiss native. The investigators will come and investigate your property, and do it for FREE. How cool is that. The group truly wants to help people and try to find out the answers to unexplained events. I've been in some REO properties that have really given me the shivers. It would be great to have these folks come over and investigate some of these properties. Check out the company's FB page.

Hotchkiss Paranormal Investigators have plans to investigate some old mining buildings in the town of Cripple Creek. The investigators are also planning on checking out the famous Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. The hotel gave Stephen King the idea for The Shining.

I've lived on Colorado's Western Slope for over 22 years. I love this area and all it has to offer, and I enjoy sharing what I know about my home. As a real estate broker, I also love to share my expertise in this area as well. If you need any real estate information for Montrose County, or Delta County, Colorado...please give me a call.

Hi, Suesan...the paranormal fascinates me. I used to work at a museum in an old mining town. It use to be the miner's hospital. A lot of things went on that I couldn't explain.

Debbie, I would say that looks like it could result in an encounter of the third kind! :-)

See It. Experience It. Live It.

How interesting! I wish that I could follow them around while they are checking out the places in Cripple Creek, which isn't all that far from me. It would be interesting to see how they do their job and what they find there.

Have a great weekend.

Hi, Debbie...I certainly didn't expect to see this type of business in my rural area, but it makes sense. We have a lot of history out here in what use to be known as the wild west.

Hi Silvia...Or maybe an encounter of the scary kind.

Hi, John...you should share your stories the history. That is so neat. I love to hear this kind of stuff and a lot of other people do too.

Hi, William...a well behaved ghost is a good ghost.

Hi, Sussie...I'm going to email the HPI today and let them know. Maybe they don't know there is a restriction. I didn't even know there was a restriction. I can't wait to hear some stories. I really want to get to know this group.

Hi, Sondra...email them through FB. Maybe they will let you come along.

Interesting information. It is good that you will not need to disclose the paranormal findings in homes you have for sale.

Hi, Roy...you're right about the disclosure part. I wouldn't want to live in a haunted house. Unless the ghost was a former maid and liked to clean up.

Love this! I have liked their FB site. When I had a home in new mexico (i will write a post about it later), a friend of mine "ghostbusted" it for me when the owner and the septic inspector commented on vile smells. That little house sold for full price 2 weeks later and both the owner and the septic guy gave the house their seal of approval!

Hi, Paula...I'll bet you have some places around Salida that could use this service. Maybe we can get the group to go out there and sit in and watch up close and personal on what happens.

Debbie, so that's where the Stanley Hotel is...I was in Estes Park a long time ago and had I known I would have drove by.
