The Santa Maria College in Bakersfield, CA is said to be haunted by an unknown presence. On March 22nd, 2012, Professor Harrold Thomas and his student Deana Banks went missing under mysterious circumstances. A few months later a television crew was allowed into the site to investigate the disappearances. This video is the last piece of evidence of their whereabouts. It has been obtained through an undisclosed source.

Ghosts tend to make their presence known to all kinds of guests. They do not have a preference towards those that believe in them or not. Most skeptics that have a first time encounter with a ghost, usually become believers in the paranormal. It only takes one encounter to realize that ghosts do exist. Ghosts tend to choose places that are large and are usually public attractions like Santa Maria College.
