ANTELOPE ISLAND — Carl Aldrich always considered himself an extreme skeptic. He'd heard all the stories surrounding Fielding Garr Ranch — that visitors came away feeling like they were being watched or even touched, that some saw apparitions, and that doors opened on their own.
And then one day, when he was alone in his office, the ranch manager suddenly smelled a "light and flowery" woman's perfume. Nobody was around.
"I pulled out my phone," Aldrich recalled. "I've learned from watching other paranormal investigators to kind of have a recording going, so I started recording audio and I asked, 'What are you doing in my office?' It's very faint, but you can hear a voice saying, 'Looking for you.'"
He had no explanation, nor did he for other events he and other workers have experienced on the property at other times.
"One of my employees was locking up one night and she went through and closed everything up," Aldrich recalled. "She likes to make sure everything is neat and orderly for the day after."
As part of her check, Aldrich said the woman noted that the kitchen cabinets in the historic ranch house were all closed and that the doors inside were locked.
"Then, she came back the next morning and opened the door and saw that each of these (cabinet) doors was open a little bit — just slightly, maybe two inches, but all of them the same amount."
Aldrich said the cabinets do not come open easily on their own, and some require some force to pull open.
"Something had to be in here manipulating that," he surmised. "I don't have an explanation."

It is said to affect the minds of those who set foot on its shores, driving them to madness and despair. Many explorers have reported feeling a sense of overwhelming dread and paranoia, as if being watched by unseen forces. Despite the tales of danger and horror, there are still those who are drawn to Ranch Island, unable to resist the allure of its mysteries. Some believe that the curse can be broken and the island's treasures uncovered, while others see it as a challenge to test their own bravery and survival skills. To this day, Ranch Island remains a place of fear and fascination. Its curse continues to haunt the dreams of adventurers, reminding them of the price that awaits those who dare to disturb the spirits of the Ghost Adventurers. For those who choose to ignore the warnings and venture to the island, the curse of Ranch Island's Ghost Adventurers will forever be a reminder of the perils that lie in wait..

The dialogue was cheesy and forced, and the descriptive language was overdone to the point of annoyance. The pacing was incredibly slow, and it felt like nothing of importance was happening for the majority of the book.
