  September 2009,  three members of P.O.S.T. visited a run down , left for dead , abandoned community located between the Mojave desert and California City .  This location has four  sets of duplexes and seven single wide trailers  along with a large commercial sized garage and numerous sheds and free standing storage facilities . All in which have been thrashed and vandalized by only God knows who.
Broken glass , old family photos , articles of clothing amongst other personal belongings have been scattered about on the floors  and for some odd reason , left behind.  Long story short , there were traces of the history and mystery that we at P.O.S.T. had a hard time figuring out.

After we did some digging around , we concluded that this alienated community was once a train stop where supplies would be shipped and distributed for the construction of the aqueduct .  This train stop was once known as Siding 5 or Cinco.
It was in operation until 1910  , and then sometime after that , the land was used to build these small abandoned duplexes .  However , the question remains , Why would someone build  a small community in the middle of nowhere and then abandon them along with  most of their personal belongings ?  

To those of you who know us ( the members of P.O.S.T. ) you know that we love a good mystery case to crack . So we grabbed a few of our digital voice recorders , our digital electro magnetic field detector , K2 meter  and our full spectrum camcorder s; and then we went to work !  We swept through all of the buildings in as little as 4 hours . The wind was extremely heavy which pretty much voided out our chances of catching any decent EVP’s . However , In one of these homes , we had some really great personal experiences that were backed up by our full spectrum camcorder . All of this that I am about to tell you  took place in the very first home that pretty much suggests that the manager or owner of these duplexes lived there  . I say this because it was an actual home and not a duplex , it was a little more spacious and was separated from all of the other buildings .


Upon entering the home , Ryan , Jason and myself (Mandy) began the investigation in the living room , then we worked our way through the entire house .
As soon as we  reentered the living room , Jason witnessed a small orbish ball of light hovering about two feet off the floor ,  then it spun around in a few circles as if flabbergasted  on which direction it should go  and then it shot off  into the hallway ! When Jason elaborates on this , all three of us  chase after this ball of light in hopes  to get a better glimpse of this phenomenon  . Much to our disappointment, this fast traveling flash of light was gone .  However , upon reviewing our video footage from our full spectrum camera, we realize that as Ryan panned around with the camera, this awesome ball of light was caught in motion as if trying to escape our presence . We watch as it darts around the bedroom corner , stops for a split second in hesitation and then precedes to vanish itself ! After this Ryan walks into the bedroom in which this anomaly was captured and there was nothing in that room except for trash , broken glass and a tattered old mattress on the floor. This piece of evidence gave us a boost of energy to go back for some more action .

So you guessed it ! We went back for another round !  This time we focused all of our attention on this one particular house (the managers quarters) . Again , we were loaded with the same great equipment plus the addition of a motion detector which will let out a chime when any sort of motion is detected . We tried to recreate and reenact all of the activity that took place during the first investigation . Unfortunately we walked away with a few ‘’class B ’’  EVP’s , which is always great to add on to our collection of voice phenomenon’s .  But our Orb did not make its grand appearance  this time around .

In doing all of this , we are still left with questions about this strange community , abandoned and littered with perplexing clues and odd suggestions . As for  round three , I think we will just let it be .

This EVP was caught in the living room. Mandy says "we didn't come to touch any of your stuff,
we don't want any of your stuff, we don't need any of your stuff". Then at about 14 seconds into this clip
you hear "touch me". This EVP was not heard at the time of the Investigation
*NOTE Mandy was complaining about her hand feeling tingly & numb right be for this was captured!
