The Zalud House

The Zalud House - Porterville, CA

I don't know too much behind the paranormal history of the Zalud House as I just heard about it recently. I do know there is a group that is planning on giving haunted tours of the house, with all proceeds going to the house which is now a museum. They are still working out the details, but as soon as I hear about them I'll post them in an update.
The Zalud House, which is located in Porterville, was built for John and Mary Jane Zalud in 1891 and through out it's history it was only occupied by the family. The house is listed on both the National Historcial Registry of Old Houses and the National Register of Historic Places.
The house has remained unchanged over the years. The garden, which has not changed since the 1930's, and the mansard style roof is still the same over a century later. Interior-wise, it is one of the few museums in the country to still have it's original furnishings though they are changed seasonally.
As for paranormal activity, there have been reports of people feeling that they were being watched by some unseen presence, footsteps heard in several words, as well as whispering voices. Given the fact that the house still has it's orginal furnishings, I wouldn't be suprised if some of the Zalud family members were still there along with their possessions.

Fresno and Clovis Ghost Walks

This year the Fresno/Clovis metropolotan area has two haunted ghost tours that people can partake in.

The first is the one in the Tower District, and it is the same as last year. People attending will stroll up and down Olive Ave. and hear about the spirits that haunt the Tower District. You will hear the stories of a cook who has never left the basement of their home, a spirit who minds their store even though they are no longer with us, and perhaps one who protects a building from fires.


New this year is a haunted walk in Old Town Clovis. The tour is on Polasky Ave. and you will hear stories of love, loyalty, and mystery. Stories of the men and women who took a chance and settled the area over a hundred years ago, and perhaps never left.

Both tours are being conducted by Nightfall Tours and are sponsored by Central Callifornia Paranormal Investigators. The tours are not scary and are intended for people over the age of 18.

The tours will be held on Friday and Saturday nights from 7:30 - 9:30 pm and the cost is $18 per person. Reservations can be made at 559-260-1738 or contact Nightfal Tours at nightfalltours@yahoo.com
