New Year's Eve 2010: Darkness at Club Necropolis
By Paul Dale Roberts, HPI General Manager
It was time to celebrate New Year's Eve. On this night, I will be headed out to Necropolis - 1023A Front Street,
Old Sacramento - Club Darkness. The Darkness touts Gothic, 80s New Wave, Electro and EBM.

To be appropriate for this occasion, I dressed in black. Arriving to the festivities were fellow HPI paranormal
investigators: Shannon 'Ms. Macabre' McCabe, Staci Butler, Melissa Billups, Johnny Worlock (Hearse driver)
Shannon and I set up our booth, promoting the Macabre Hearse Tours and Ms. Macabre's line of witchy herbs
and fragrances, called Ms. Macabre's Alchemy
When we arrived in Old Sacramento, the street was bustling with people. Everywhere I looked there was
people. I pondered if anyone stayed home or did everyone in Sacramento descend upon Old Sacramento this
full moon evening? Sacramento's Finest made their presence known. I noticed that everyone was greeting
the police and the police were greeting the festive crowd. One woman remarked that she felt safe seeing the
police patrolling the streets of Old Sacramento on horseback.
The Sacramento Police did a great job this New Year's Eve and I salute them for their vigilance and dedication
to duty. Old Sacramento has one of the greatest fireworks displays and you can hear the oooooooohhhhs
and aaaaaaaahhhhhs as the fireworks were blasted over the Sacramento River.
Darkness was a fantastic success as it belted out pulsating beats for everyone to dance to. As a journalist, I
am very curious about people and I found myself carrying on conversations about the Goth culture, vampires
and New Year's resolutions.
When it was finally time to leave, I was flabbergasted. Where did the time go? Wow! It was actually time to
leave? I had such a great time and met some fantastic people! I give a cordial bow to Natalee Liquori & David
V. who got this party started and ending it with a smash up finale! Job well done, this is one New Year's Eve I
will never ever forget!
My Thoughts on New Year's Eve.
New Year's Eve is a time for people to come together, a time to hope for the best, a time to set out upcoming
accomplishments, to prepare in making your dreams come true, to set in motion of enjoying and embracing
your life. 2010 we welcome you with open arms. Happy New Year everyone!

Greer and me - Paul Dale Roberts - HPI Lead Investigator.

Date: Dec 30, 2009, Wednesday: HPI Paranormal Investigator Julie Lemos and Lead Investigator Paul Dale
Roberts conducted a preliminary investigation at The Inn & Spa at Parkside aka The Historic Fong Mansion
built in 1936. Interviewing various guests, they all say that they get creeped out in the basement. The
basement has the most paranormal activity. There were no anomalies in my photographs and no EVPs
recorded. I was unable to get into the basement.
