She asked her mother, who lived in California, to help find information about the dwelling. She later claimed to have found a picture in a magazine of a California house she believed was suitably haunted-looking. What Jackson discovered in their "dry reports was not the story of a haunted house, it was the story of several earnest, I believe misguided, certainly determined people, with their differing motivations and background."
