Is Dr. Strange Records REALLY haunted? Recently a paranormal investigation group called PARA (Paranormal Activity Research Associates) came into Dr. Strange Records around 10pm to see if there is any ghosts haunting the record shop. It is said that a woman hanged herself inside the store when it used to be a general store back in the 1930’s. Dr. Strange Records is located inside the Henry Alpert Building, which was built in 1909 and is on the City of Rancho Cucamonga’s list of historic places. In some of these pictures you can kind of make out a ghostly face or body hanging from the rafters. The “ghost hunters” tried to get audio from “white noise” by asking question to see if any ghost would respond. There does seem to be a few replies from something, but the audio can be hard to make-out, here’s a list of what the researchers think the ghost is saying in the white-noise, listen close, and see if you hear anything out of the ordinary….
Clip 1: Question- How long have you been here? Reply- Noise, nothing?
Clip 2: DSR Backroom, voices talking?
Clip 3: Reply “This is not a record store”
Clip 4: In the basement- Female moan
Clip 5: Question: Can you light this all the way to the red? Reply: “I am” (or noise)
Clip 6: Basement- Interference
Clip 7: Basement: Voice mumble
Clip 8: Voice or a noise
Clip 9: “Yeah I mind”
Clip 10: “Yes” or a noise
Clip 11: Female voice “Yes Sir”
What do YOU think? There does seem to be some things being said but it’s very faint. Maybe someone who is good at audio can take these and filter them out more to try and make the voices more clear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WADIClBFRz0
“Doc’s Spotlight” #2 Today’s “Doc’s Spot [light]” is on one of the 1st [since 1974 for god’s sake!] Punk bands; Devo! The first time I heard Devo I hated them! I remember sitting in a math class in Junior High. It was 1978. The “cool” kid; Mike Lomath was playing a cassette, while in class of course, of Devo’s debut lp “Are We Not Men?”. I remember thinking to myself, what the hell is this weird crap? I mean this isn’t music! WAY beyond me at that time. But a couple quick years later, while a freshman in high school, I was hanging out with my oldest buddy [since 3rd grade] Glen. Glen had an older brother [always one of those involved in a story like this huh?] who was a big Devo fan. I think it was “Duty Now For The Future” or maybe “Freedom of Choice” that turned me on to Devo. I can still remember being at home listening to Devo full blast, grabbing a pair of scissors while staring at myself in the mirror and cutting, REAL short, just the top of my hair so it would stick up! Devo was the first band to really “motivate” me and they opened the door to a whole new way of thinking. I can’t thank them enough. My only Devo regret? NOT going to see them when Glen’s older brother asked us to go see Devo, The Germs and Blondie in Hollywood (I think at The Whiskey). I’m sure I was way too scared but man I regret that!!! Okay, stay tuned for another “Doc’s Spot [light]” next Friday. And remember, we are ALL Devo!
