firefighter while fighting a wild land fire, the fire had burned up to the back

explanation. Also strange sounds can be heard coming from the site from about
dusk late into the early hours of the morning as well as seeing blackened
shadows moving across the grounds. The locals do not frequent this 1800s

Coloma - Sierra Nevada House - A mischievous spirit inhabits this hotel which

Coloma - The Vineyard House - In Coloma, CA, there is a famous Victorian house
called the Vineyard House, which has been reputed to be haunted by its original
owners for many years. The house was built some time in the late 1800s, and was
used over the years as a jail, an inn and restaurant, and, as its name implies,
a winery. It was also at one time supposedly the site of where some executions
took place. According to records, the original owners who built the house
suffered one tragedy after another. Several of their young children died, their
winery was eventually ruined because of a blight, and the husband contracted
syphillis, which over time caused blindness and mental illness. Because he
became violent from being mentally ill, his wife had him chained to a wall in
the basement of the house, where he reportedly died. The entire family is buried
directly across the street in a graveyard that overlooks the house. Reports of
seeing ghosts in the graveyard have also come forth in the past, but most of the
stories took place inside the house. Ghost stories of the encounters where told
by employees and guests of Vineyard House. One intrigueing story was told by a
couple who were staying in one of the upstairs bedrooms. It was late at night
and all was quiet, when suddenly the couple was awakened by the sound of drunken
men coming into the hallway downstairs. They were very loud and were singing and
laughing and making a general raucous, so the husband upstairs stuck his head
out the bedroom door to tell the loud men to quiet down. But upon doing so, he
saw three men dressed in Victorian clothing ascending the stairs, and then they
faded right before his eyes. Another story from a different couple who decided
to stay at the inn was that something frightened them so badly that they packed
up and left in the middle of the night. They reportedly refused to say what had
happened that scared them so badly. The basement was used as a bar, and it was
late at night after closing hours. The owner was cleaning up and wiping down he
bar. He said that there was one last glass at the far end of the bar, and as he
was cleaning, the glass suddenly began to shake, and then it slid all the way
across until it finally stopped right in front of him. He admitted that he had
no rational explanation for what he'd seen. It is believed that the things that
go on in the bar are the original owner who died down there while chained to a
wall. Other things that have been reported are sounds of rustling skirts, and
there is apparently an area near the kitchen that is constantly cold. A woman
having dinner in the restaurant claimed that she was approached by a young child
who asked her to mash his peas and carrots for him. Another scary incident
occurred in the restaurant when a large chandelier suddenly came crashing down,
barely missing some of the guests. It used to be that when the restaurant and
inn were still in operation, you could pick up a pamphlet that gave information
about the hauntings. It was a famous place because it had been there since the
Gold Rush, and there were pictures of famous people, such as John Wayne and
Dudley Moore, hanging on the walls. The hauntings were so well-known that the
house was featured on That's Incredible! and Ripley's Believe It Or Not. Sadly,
the house has been closed to the public for quite a few years. If you are ever
visiting old Coloma, the site of the famous Gold Rush, be sure to drive by the
old Vineyard House, and know that you are seeing a house that has been famous
for its hauntings for many years.

Corona - J J Live Oak Steakhouse - February 2004 Update: formerly listed as El
Cerrito - Live Oak Inn - As the story goes, back in 1988, a young waitress named
Michelle was strangled to death and left in the trunk of an old car behind the
back patio of the inn. Rumor has it that although the dishwasher is still doing
time for her murder, it was actually the cook that committed the crime.
Regardless of who killed Michelle and why, she still haunts Live Oak. The new
owner doesn't mind and comments that, "People say she is a really nice girl and
even shy." He has never seen her, but has had many complaints from customers
that she continually flushes toilets close to closing time. Perhaps even more
spine tingling than Michelle's story is the fact that in the Inn's earlier days,
people were often hung from the twisted oak tree in front. If you look closely,
you can see the tree growing around an old noose!!!- February 2004 additional
info – a bartender / waitress reports she is a witness to the rumors of Michelle
the ghost, and of the old owner "Larry" who shot himself in the office. She has
worked there for almost a year and Michelle has stopped flushing the toilet and
started ringing the food bell constantly during all hours. She has seen shadows
of her out of the corner of her eye when she is there alone. one of the cooks
son's talks to the ghost but it is supposed to be a secret and he can't tell us
who he is talking to. he also sees a man in black who walks around. the noose is
visible in the tree and she says she has touched it to see what it was made of.
it was almost rope like wire and it is grown into the tree.
Corona - Marie Callender's - There are many stories, one night in the kitchen
area a few of the workers were doing side work and a few others were in the bar
after closing and a big metal pie cutter flew off a shelf onto the counter on
the opposite side of the room a few feet away. There were now many witnesses who
believed that strange things were occurring at our store. Servers reported trays
flying at their heads in the dishwasher’s area and salt and peppershakers once
empty were full. The spookiest always happened to the vendors who cleaned the
restaurant. The carpets would be cleaned on a monthly basis and they would
always come in pairs. Something would always happen, strange sounds, floating
balloons, TV’s being turned on, etc. All of these things could be explained by
scientific methods: electric currents and helium filled balloons losing air.
Whatever was going on in that building after the employees left was bad enough
that the carpet cleaners would never come alone. On the occasions that they
would come alone, they would come right at closing and be done before we would
finish closing the store. On one occasion a lone carpet cleaner decided he would
do it by himself after the employees left the building, saying that all the
stories were hogwash. The next morning the opening manager found him in his
truck in the parking lot with all of his carpet cleaning materials left inside
of the building. He refused to step foot into the restaurant and complete the
job. He wanted to get his equipment and get out. Seems while he was in the
building the entities played with him more than they played with any one else.
As he was shampooing the carpets things were being written by a nonexistent
finger in the soap, chairs were moved in the dining room and salt and
peppershakers flew at him. The carpet guys from then on always came promptly at
closing and no one was left alone in the building.

if she knew some of the other boys who took walks down Mays at nighttime, and

considering its near midnight, it's raining, and at the time the school was
practically in the middle of the desert. So with out taking his eyes off of them
he began to approach them to ask them if they might need a ride or shelter from
the rain. As he got half way near the fountain the male figure wearing a varsity

turned towards the caretaker, that's when he realized they hadn't been affected

a locked and empty stockroom, and the area of the freight elevator was quite
simply a terrifying place for me to work in. Workers had feelings of panic and
chills. On the second floor, employees heard their names called by someone
unseen (this was a very common occurrence, experienced even by non-believers),
clothing would swing on racks as though someone were walking between the racks,
cool breezes and the sound of breathing were felt and heard in the stockrooms of
the Children's Department, and several times before the store opened employees
heard the sounds of someone straightening the racks in the Lingerie department,
and see two legs wearing black pants standing behind a tall fixture (on which
were hung bathrobes, etc.), but the sounds and legs disappeared when they went
to see who was working. All of this occurred both before, during, and after
store hours. Also, in the second floor freight area, they would see people
passing the door of the room in which they were working, but no one was present
when they checked the hallway. This, too, was a common activity. The first floor
had similar activities, but employees working after hours in the freight dock
would see what we thought were customers passing the windows of the dock doors,

experienced this a couple of times. The store was closed and torn down in 1996,

property: a manager had a heart attack while at work, and died while they were

returned to his dressing room after a day of shooting. His dressing room was
located in the basement of the now famous Building number 26 on Westminster. It
is documented that Chaplin, while accompanied by an entourage, entered the room
to discover his stunt double and long time friend lying dead on the floor, wet
and covered in seaweed. The man appeared to have been deceased for several days.
How he had ended up on the floor of Chaplin's dressing room after missing for
almost an entire week, is still to this day a complete mystery. The "now"
inhabitants of the famous building claim to still hear strange noises emanating
from the walls of somebody walking through shallow water. Other noises include
moaning, and sounds of someone distantly crying for help. In addition to the
assortment of disturbing sounds, there have been several sightings of what
appears to be an apparition of a man bound by the hands and feet standing in
luminous corners of the large building. Quite possibly the most blood curdling
detail of all these sightings is what the man is seen wearing. He's dressed the
same way he was the day he disappeared. A Chaplin-esque tuxedo coat with tails
and the proverbial black derby hat.

Pleasanton and Sunol, CA. Area is now Highway 84/680) she was thrown from the
carriage when the horses were spooked by the first of two oncoming horseless
carriages (car). After she was thrown the 2nd car struck her. Miss Lowerey
became the first person to ever be killed by an automobile in this area. Many
have seen a woman in white by the cemetery and near by areas, accompanied with
strange lights. - November update: A paranormal researcher found there's quite
an extensive collection of newspaper clippings that was donated to the library
by a journalist. The clippings go back to the turn of the 20th century, so they
cover the period when the "accident" happened. According to the first journalist
to report on the supposed haunting, about ten years after the date in the 1920's
when the woman was popularly held to have died, there was no mention of anyone
dying in an accident in the canyon, and county records of the time listed no
account of the body of anyone who had supposedly died in Niles Canyon. There
was, in the early 50's, a young man who dressed in a white sheet and jumped out
in front of motorists near one of the bridges on Halloween. He scared someone so
bad that they immediately drove to the nearest phone and called the police, who
arrived in force (owing to the legend of the white witch) and drew guns on what
they thought was the ghost. The young man was almost shot, though he was not
arrested, but he had to be taken to a coffee shop where it took him until 2am to
calm down sufficiently to go home. The supposed "white witch of Niles" actually
follows the scenario of a common fake ghost story, that being the "hitchhiking
ghost" story. The Niles ghost is most commonly said to hitchhike to one of the
bridges in the area, where she disappears at the tollbooth. There is no cemetery
that they know of in Sunol, which is at the top of Niles Canyon Rd. Similarly;
there is no Morrison Canyon ghost. Morrison Canyon road is a primarily one-lane
road that leads up to the 680 freeway. There's even a radar-testing facility up
there somewhere, complete with life-size wire models of helicopters and planes,
mostly upside down. Now, on the OTHER side of the coin, there ARE photographs of
orbs in Mission San Jose's church and in the graveyard, though the investigator
does not own them. The church, the cemetery and the grounds are VERY active.

followed when the graves were moved. Patrons and employees have constantly
reported incidents. The stairwell to the bar area appears to be the home of a
female spirit. There is a storage room above the lower dining area and entrance.
The room is constantly locked and hardly used. But for some reason the spirits
prefer this location when the restaurant gets busy. There are three windows up

Riverside - California Baptist University - Catacombs - Before the old mission
style buildings were a college campus, they housed an insane asylum. In the

hospital workers to enter and exit the hospital once all the doors were locked.

be tortured. The basement of the college now holds offices, but also is where
the entrance to the catacombs are located. Throughout the campus there are
entrances to the catacombs as well. At night, one can hear knocking on the door
to the catacombs in the basement and will feel a very cold presence. At random

of the patients from the asylum walking through the catacombs.

from the Tyler Mall to La Sierra Blvd was an old Indian Burial Ground. - In
addition to what you already know about the park, a former employee also had an
experience in the railroad tracks tunnel in the park. After hours when all the
guests are gone the cafe would close. when any of the employees would be sent to
toss away the trash in the far end of the parking lot, they would have to go in
pairs. Reason being is because when you cross the tracks near the cafe you can
see the silhouettes of Indian women walking around. Sometimes you can also see
what appears to be a fire burning in the far corner, but when you go to check it
out it dims away.

gentleman was once given a room in one of the upper stories of the building, as
there were no lower floor rooms available due to construction. The next morning,
when the gentleman was asked if his accommodations were adequate, he replied,
"All was fine, especially the woman singing beautifully in the next room." He
was the only tenant on that floor. This place is haunted by the Millers. The

existing structure of the hotel was begun in 1900 and completed in approximately

occurred around 3:00 a.m., a couple of days later. Another man from the same
group of campers got out of his tent after being awakened from a deep sleep by
an unknown presence. He looked over his tent and saw the lady pacing. She
stopped, looked right at his face, then continued to pace as if she were waiting
for someone. The man went to wake up his friends, but by the time he woke anyone
she had vanished. Not being able to sleep after the sighting, he decided to stay
awake with another camper and start a campfire. In the distance, they could hear
the voice of a woman laughing and singing. There seemed to be no explanation for
it at that time of the morning. On other occasions the same campers have heard
heavy footsteps around their tents during the night that do not fade as if
someone were walking away, but simply lift and disappear. In a photo taken of
one of the campers in this area, there appears a large orb floating right next
to him.

underground tunnels were built under the length of the building. They were built

came those tunnels were used as catacombs to house dead bodies. Once they were
filled the catacombs were sealed. In the men s restroom in the front there is a
door. When you open that door there is just a brick wall. When a crew tried to
breach the wall they got five feet and there was still brick. Why would some one
seal a tunnel in more than five feet of brick? No one will ever know unless the
try to breach it again. Now to the stories. There is a drop that was preserved
because it was the only remaining drop from the original stage. Some times
during the Temple City High School musical that drop swings unintentionally.

monitors on stage left that broadcast what is being shown on stage. In 2003 and
there during the Music Man there was a person seen in the second story window on
one of the houses. Many stage crew, tech crew, and actors saw this man on the TV
monitor. Also many of the audience saw this man too. The problem with this is
that there is no way for a man to be standing in the second story window because

as Uncle John. There are also stories of a little girl who roams the halls and a
old stage manager who roams the halls at night.

booth to go talk to our teacher, who was at the other end of the building...no
where near the stage or house [where the audience sits], as we got half way down

and got the heck out of there. We went to our teachers office, which is located
in the same building, and asked her if she felt an earthquake or anything. She

managed to become more violent here and there...he never harms anyone...however

victim tell another tale. A paring knife mysteriously came across the room and
