When it opened in 1894, the Preston School of Industry represented a change in how criminal offenders and wards of the state were treated in American society, shifting towards a more compassionate mission of reform over punishment. However, while the mission may have represented a more progressive approach to reforming young offenders, daily life for the young inmates was often as brutal as it would have been in an adult prison.

We recently met Connie while filming at Preston Castle, 30 minutes away from where I grew up! Connie is a native of Sacramento, CA where she currently resides with her husband Matt and son Shawn. She became interested in the paranormal after attending an event featuring Ed and Lorraine Warren in 1994 in Connecticut. However, it wasn't until 2007 when herself and a friend decided to join a local group. Eventually a couple of them broke off into their own group. They did everything from private residential to local historic buildings and occasionally cemeteries.  Her first visit to Preston Castle was around 2008 or 2009? where she attended a paranormal tour, After seeing my first full body apparition , she was hooked! and has been in complete awe since!

Brandon Alvis has always had interests and questions about the paranormal after tragically losing two brothers, one to cancer and the other to suicide. 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 Brandon to become the paranormal technician of the “Ghost Hunters” team. Brandon has investigated over 200 public and private locations with APRA, many of which bear historical significance. Investigations have included mental hospitals, prisons, well-known murder sites, cemeteries, and private homes, as well as more famous sites like Alcatraz Island, Preston Castle, and the South Pittsburgh Hospital. As a natural skeptic, Brandon researches every location meticulously before he begins collecting evidence in an effort to make the study of the paranormal as credible as possible.

 Hi! My name is Connie Brenner and I live in Sacramento, California. I am 44 years old and I have been married to my husband Matt for 20 years and we have a 16yr old son named Shawn. I believe I had my first paranormal experience when I was really young (I think around 5yrs old) and it wasn’t until I went to a show and saw Ed and Lorraine Warren in Connecticut in 1994 where I really became super interested in the paranormal. Years later my friend and I got together for our weekly Ghost Hunter’s viewing and discussed how fun it would be to go ghost hunting. We found a local group and started attending investigations. Things kind of took off from there! I have been on countless investigations since then and currently run the paranormal tours with my partner Chris at Preston Castle located in Ione, California. I am very much a skeptic. I’ve also had some amazing experiences to where I’ve done everything to debunk but can’t. I believe in being respectful because they were once people too. I want them to feel that they have been heard.

In season 2 of A&E’s Ghost Hunters, the team heads into uncharted territory to be the first to investigate reports of paranormal phenomena in some of the nation’s most remote locations. Their journey takes them to isolated, distant corners of the United States where they confront extreme conditions and desolate terrain. The team seeks out forgotten worlds where darkness and death plague residents who have been forced to live with the unknown. Despite mysterious and unnerving warnings from locals, the Ghost Hunters face their fears and stay on mission: to help people confront terrifying paranormal encounters that have shaken them to their core. In doing so, they capture their most compelling, persuasive evidence in over a decade. New episodes of Ghost Hunters will air Wednesdays at 9pm ET/PT following the two episode premiere on April 8 beginning at 8pm ET/PT. Mustafa Gatollari is the paranormal historian and site analyst of the Ghost Hunters team. For the last 10 years, he has investigated alongside his New Jersey-based team, emphasizing the value of sincerity and legitimacy in his hunts. Mustafa has more than 80 investigations under his belt. Although his focus is investigating private homes and helping ordinary people, he has also delved into everything from abandoned factories and shopping centers to a parking garage in Eastern Europe that had been built over a mass gravesite. As a writer, Mustafa likes to approach an investigation the way an investigative journalist might approach a story – he not only enjoys conducting interviews with witnesses and digging into a property’s public records, but he’s also skilled in uncovering information quickly, which is an asset in any investigation under a tight schedule. Brandon Alvis is the paranormal technician of the Ghost Huntersteam. His twin passions for history and the paranormal led him to establish the American Paranormal Research Association (APRA).

Perched on a hill above the town of Ione in California is a menacing and haunting castle-like structure that once was a reform school. The Preston Castle was an ambitious plan to get juvenile delinquents to become contributing members of the community. But as was the case with so many of these types of places that were built in the late 1800s and run through the early 1900s, abuse, overcrowding and death were commonplace. The emotional residue of this location seems to have led to haunting experiences.
