Bridget’s back from the Bermuda Triangle and ready for more! Join Bridget and Ghost Hunter’s tech master of Brandon Alvis as they explore explore The Glen Tavern Inn…The Stanley Hotel’s mini me.  Brandon has always had interests and questions about the paranormal.  Over the years he has spoken at historical locations across the United States. Appearing in the New York Post, MTV News, Travel Channel, Discovery and Science Channel. After purchasing a modest camcorder in 2010, Brandon began to produce web content about historical events. Discovering his newly found passion, he wanted to expand his knowledge of the film industry. You have seen him on Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, The Unexplained Files and Haunted Discoveries. Starting with a few friends using standard tools and procedures, he realized the many mistakes "commonly found" when investigating the paranormal. This motivated him to propagate a team specializing in many fields and to develop new methods not only reliable but convincing, introducing the "scientific approach" and naming this team: "American Paranormal Research Association" aka A.P.R.A. This new approach along with his leadership and entrepreneurial skills has propelled A.P.R.A., becoming a highly recognized name. His hard work, dedication and passion to this science are greatly respected, often allowing A.P.R.A. to investigate in areas normally closed-off to others. Pioneering fundraisers and special events, he along with his team, provide participants an insight into the paranormal wherein proceeds go to the preservation of the historical structure. His determination to find "cold hard facts, to prove or disprove" makes A.P.R.A. what it is today.  Today we have a super fun episode, we are recording LIVE from the super cute and charming Glen Tavern Inn in Santa Paula, Ca. But don’t let looks deceive you, this historic little inn has a history of paranormal activity and ghost stories!    About The Glen Tavern Inn It is a tutor/craftsman style hotel built in 1911. During Prohibition, the Inn retained something of its Wild West origins as the third floor - at that time, an open space not yet built out into separate guestrooms - was utilized as a speakeasy, brothel and gambling parlor.[2] Many legends stem from this era, including tales of murdered prostitutes and shootouts between unruly gamblers. These stories, though mostly unconfirmed, persist with a life of their own as part of the hotel's rich lore. In the 1930’s, the Glen Tavern Inn hosted such notables as Carole Lombard, John Wayne, Houdini and canine thespian, Rin Tin Tin, who boasted his own suite long before “pet-friendly” entered the hospitality lexicon. It became dilapidated and rundown before it was rescued and renovated back to it’s original grandeur. The Inns’ motto, is “Where the past comes to life”..and that seems to be a good motto, because the hotel has it’s share of stories! So much so that the Ventura Paranormal Society had its annual convention there and it has been featured on Ghost Adventures and Dead Files.  Brandon Alvis on Instagram @brandonalvis   Ghost Magnet Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/Ghost-Magnet-with-Bridget-Marquardt-2480154975336666/   Bridget Marquardt Bridget Marquardt is best known to television audiences and pop-culture connoisseurs as the sweet and brainy star of E!
