Notes for the Rangers at the Paramount Ranch Ranger Station and Malibu Creek State Park
At Paramount Ranch: The gentleman who was bedding down in the white storage pod just south of the Ranger Station and barn – The one whose mattress and bedding was in the trash there on 3 March 2026?

My psychic impression that day was this: That gentleman got out of the storage pod at night to relieve himself and the Mountain Lion got him. His body is scattered here and there, as it was shared by the Mountain Lion pride. 

I would check for remains in the lee of Sugarloaf Peak, in the low gap between the mountain and the small foothill in front of the mountain, which ends before the flat space in front of the treed borders of Medea Creek.

There is a National Park Service map of Paramount Ranch here … https://www.nps.gov/samo/planyourvisit/paramountranch.htm … Sugarloaf Peak is at the bottom left-hand side of the map.

Hope this makes sense to you. One never knows about messages sent via the astral plane.

Malibu Creek State Park. Also, yesterday, 6 March 2026 at a little after noon I walked halfway to the Visitor Center on Crags Road at Malibu Creek State Park. I was alone, having passed several small parties of people who were heading for the parking lot.

There I got a strong telepathic warning to go back to the trail head. I sensed a large, male Mountain Lion heading down the mountain on the far side of Malibu Creek. Coincidentally I noticed a female Mountain Lion and several others approaching from the cleft in the mountains to the right of Crags Trail.

As I strode briskly back towards the parking lot I noticed a young man talking on a handheld on the right side of the trail. He looked well bred … not homeless … but undernourished. 

I looked up and saw two youngish people … whether two men or a man and a woman, I cannot say … converging towards him in the delta on the far side of Malibu Creek.

Shortly along the trail, on my right, along Las Virgenes Creek, I saw a young man with broad shoulders squatting with a handheld, which he held up to take a picture of me.

When I got to the stairs to the parking lot, two rough and strong young men talking in street gang lingo were descending the stairs, so I took the gate route and crossed the road that leads to the campground. As I did so I saw two young men equally strong and rough leaving the restroom area on their way to Crags Road.

I then walked back to my car via Crags Road where it runs on the south side of Parking Lot 3.

There is a map of Malibu Creek State Park at the California State parks site … https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=614 ..

I have a concern that single walkers in the afternoon may be picked off in the afternoon by young people looking for spare change. Could that be possible?

Could it be that the Mountain Lions are descending from the mountains in mid-afternoon to look for and to ‘do in’ injured victims of theft? 

Could you also check whether the cars of putatively missing and consumed single hikers might be being driven off to a chop shop late in the day on weekday afternoons?

This probably makes no sense at all. Still, I would greatly appreciate your making sure it is not so.

. . . . .

Dear Ones,

This is an encounter with a Red-Breasted House Finch at Paramount Ranch, Santa Monica Mountains, California. The Finch warns me about a very big Mountain Lion approaching me from the lee of Sugarloaf Peak, from a low gap between the mountain and the small foothill in front of the mountain. Just east of that is the Paramount Ranch Ranger Station.

I didn’t see the Mountain Lion, but the House Finch was so very vocal, and so definite about its being quite close by, and with quite a wicked intent towards me, that I spooked and headed for the car the minute the Finch left in a flurry of its beautiful wings.

At the picnic tables by the Ranger Station was seated a man with a wide-brim hat. Next to him was a German Shepherd with a black head.

After I left there I heard, on the telepathic plane, that the man clairly saw this very big Mountain Lion approaching him and his dog. I asked him to get in his car quickly, but you know how men are! They have their own ideas, and they abide by them.

Consequently, I am not at all certain what happened next. I hope for the best, both for the man and for his very fine German Shepherd.

There is a Summary after the video …

House Finch 1 to House FInch 2: It’s right there.

Raven to House FInches: Stop, stop, stop!

House Finch 2 to House Finch 1: Great Mercy! There’s a quite … quite, quite large Mountain Lion.

House Finch 1 to House Finch 2: I can see it sneaking up. It’s right over there. See it?

House Finch to House Finch 1: It’s right there. Maybe you can’t see it but I … yeppy yep yep … CAN see it. It’s raising its head right over there.

Mountain Lion 1 to House Finch 1 (mildly amused, speaking in a low, deep, rumbling mutter): Don’t tell her anything please. PLEASE don’t talk to her. PLEASE don’t say anything at all.

Mountain Lion 2 (simultaneously): I’m going to EAT her. I’m going to EAT her.

House Finch to Alice (simultaneously): There it goes again. EAT-ing her! EAT-ing her! See it?

House Finch 2 (turning its head to look at me), speaking to House FInch 1: Jesus Christ, She can’t even SEE it! Sweet Jesus, It says its going to EAT you. I can’t stand it. It’s going to EAT YOU.

Alice to House Finch: Kind of pretty bird!

House Finch 2 to House Finch 1: Jesus Effing Christ, She really can’t see ANYTHING.

Alice to House Finch 2: Are you a Red Grosbeak?

Mountain Lion 1 to Alice (laughing in a low, rumbling voice): RIGHT! THAT’S it!

House Finch 2 to Alice: We’re HOUSE Finches!

House Finch 2 (looking at Alice), and speaking to House Finch 1: She doesn’t even know what type of Bird is here!

Alice to House Finch 2: I see.

House Finch 2 to Alice: Jesus CHRIST! DON’T SAY IT!

Thoroughly consternated, House Finch 2 flies off.

Alice to Readers: That bird right there said, “There’s a great, big Mountain Lion right over there, on that tall mountain there.” That’s Paramount Mountain. [No, That’s Sugarloaf Peak at Paramount Ranch.]

Other House Finches beg Alice not to say that.

Alice to Readers: But you can’t see it right now, it said, …

Raven: Stop, stop!

Alice to Readers (continuing): … because it’s hiding between this and the place that goes down after that, and then it goes back up again. And it’s hiding in between.

Mountain Lion (in a low growl, suppressing anger): It knows where we live!

House Finches, greatly alarmed, beg Alice not to say that.

House Finch 1 to Alice: Can’t you see how angry it’s getting?

Alice to Readers: Do you understand? [I’m speaking of the lee of Paramount Ranch Sugarloaf Peak, from a low gap between the mountain and the small foothill in front of the mountain. Just north-northeast of that is the Paramount Ranch Ranger Station.]

Finch 1 to other Finches: Christ! He will eat her up right, right there!

Mountain Lion 1 (feeling jolly): Yes! He WILL eat her up.

Alice to Readers: I was right over here. [Shows path heading south along Medea Creek), ..

House Finch 1 to other House Finches (sarcastically): She says, “Right over HERE,” VERY good. She’s describing it.

Alice to Readers (continuing): … I was going down this way, and that Bird said, “Don’t go any farther!” …

Mountain Lion 1: I’ll be.

House Finch 1 to Alice: She CER-tainly DID!

Alice to Readers (continuing): … Not only that, there’s a CRICKET over here … [Shows grass to left of trail.]

Cricket to Alice: That’s … right. There’s a … CRICKET.

Alice to Readers: Cricket said …

House Finch 3: She hears it!

House Finch 1: Right!

Cricket to Alice: That’s … right, … I’m a …. Cricket. [And I said:] Don’t … go … over …. there. … Don’t … go … there.

Alice to Readers (repeating what Cricket said): “Don’t … go … any … higher. … Don’t … go ….” Can you hear it? They’re all so insistent!

Mountain Lion 1 to Alice: Yes, they ARE.

[Ranger station is in the background, on the right.]

Alice to Readers: Well, The Red Grosbeak [whoops; it’s a House Finch] just flew off. It said, “I can’t bear to watch this thing.”

House Finch 2 to Alice: Yes, it @#$! !@# DID!

[Alice: Ouch!]

Alice to House Finch 2: Why not? What’s up?

House FInch 2 to Alice: It’s . Getting ….

Alice to House Finch 1: It’s getting closer?!

House Finch 2 to Alice (continuing): … Closer.

Alice to Readers: Ok. So I have to walk back to the car. The car is right here. It’s at the visitor center [Ranger Station] right here.

Alice to Readers (continuing): See? This is so surreal!

Alice to Readers (continuing): That Red Grosbeak [no, it’s a House Finch] really knows what’s up!

Alice to Readers (continuing): And the Cricket knows what’s up. I don’t know what to do!

Cricket to Alice: Thank … you … for … mentioning … me.

Alice to Readers (continuing): They say that the great, big Mountain Lion is getting closer …

Alice to Readers (continuing): … from the Paramount Mountain [Sugarloaf Peak, on which the Paramount logo may have been modeled] over there … a very famous mountain …

Alice to Readers (continuing): … And it has to be a very famous Mountain Lion … probably the MOST famous …

Alice to Readers (continuing): … I think we’d better get going.

God bless you all, and keep you safe, and be with you through all your days.

In love, Light and joy, this is Alice B. Clagett. I Am of the Stars … and so are you!

House Finch 2 to Alice: He’s right over there.

Mountain Lion to Alice (feeling amused): I’m right over here.

Alice to Readers: See anything?

House Finch 2 to Alice: He’s right over THERE.

Alice to Readers (continuing):… “Awakening with Planet Earth: … https://awakeningwithplanetearth.com …

Raven: Stop, stop!

Alice to Readers (continuing): See you there!

HOUSE FINCH

The House Finch star of this movie has several names. Someone told the House Finch at my house that it is a Grosbeak. That is not so. As the House Finch at Paramount Ranch explained, it’s true name is House Finch.

Because I find this Finch so fetching, so very endearing, I call it by these names: Red-Breasted House Finch, Roselin familiar, and Fair Rose My Friend.

These names reminded me of the old-fashioned song “My Wild Rose” by Edward MacDowell, so I added the instrumental audio of that song to this video.

“To a Wild Rose”
By Edward MacDowell
Lyrics

“Come, oh, songs! come, oh, dreams!
Soft the gates of day close,
Sleep, my birds, sleep, streams!
Sleep, my wild rose!

Pool and bud, hill and deep,
You who wore my robes, sleep!
Droop, East! die, West!
Let my land rest.

Woods, I woke your boughs!
Hills, I woke your elf-throngs!
Land, All thy hopes and woes
Rang from me in songs!

Come, oh, songs! Come, oh, dreams!
In our house is deep rest!
Through the pines gleams, gleams,
Bright the gold West.

There the flutes shall cry,
there the viols weep.
Laugh my dreams, and sigh!
Sing and vigil keep,
Awake, wild rose.”
