Before Deep Woods Paranormal, our team operated under the name California Ghost Hunters.
This case comes from that era, and this is a case that stuck with me for a long time.
These were rented storage units at a public storage facility, the kind of place people use every day to store furniture, boxes, antiques, family belongings, tools, old photographs, and items they do not want inside their home anymore.
But in this case, the activity appeared to be centered around objects inside the storage units.
We are not claiming that every bad thing that happened during this case was paranormal.
When you're dealing with things like gas appliances, emotional health, or safety concerns, those things have to be taken seriously first.
If a gas stove turns on without a pilot light igniting, that's a real world danger.
If someone is experiencing depression, emotional heaviness, or sudden change in mental health, that needs care, support, and professional help.
Our job is to document, compare timing, look at patterns, review evidence, and ask whether something, something unexplained may be happening alongside concerns.
Most people think of haunted locations as households, cemeteries, battlefields, hotels, or abandoned buildings.
But storage units are interesting because they hold objects from all kinds of places and all kinds of lives.
Inside a storage unit facility, you can have antiques, old furniture, mirrors, dolls, jewelry, religious items, family heirlooms, estate belongings, boxes from deceased relatives, or items connected to trauma, grief, conflict, or loss.
And sometimes people put objects in storage because they do not want them in their house anymore.
