During a recent government meeting, a proposal was made to invite Richard Sennett, a well-known ghost hunter from Ventura County, to speak at an upcoming event in Ojai. The speaker, who has a long-standing acquaintance with Sennett, highlighted his previous engagements, including talks at local museums and guided walks that delve into the area's history.
Sennett, who has a reputation for conducting ghost tours in the Ojai Valley, was suggested to give two talks—one in the morning and another in the afternoon—covering topics such as the Ojai jail and other historical sites in the city. The speaker emphasized Sennett's engaging storytelling abilities and his willingness to promote the event through local media.
Additionally, the speaker shared a personal anecdote about their experience using divining rods during a visit to the Acacia Mansion, illustrating the intriguing nature of Sennett's work. The meeting concluded with a consensus on the potential value of Sennett's participation in enriching the community's understanding of local history and folklore.
