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.

when it was closed down due to lack of patients, so therefore it was empty. They

were minding their own business when the patient call light and buzzer went off

when they walked to the empty room the buzzer stopped and the buzzer in the room

distance sitting at the fountain talking and kissing. He thought this was odd

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

jacket turned to him, the girl wearing a pretty prom like dress stood up and

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

by the rain... there clothes were completely dried and puffy! They faded away

and disappeared. In the late 1970's or early 80's a group of students were

little background info: The Puente Hills Mall AMC theater was attached to the

mall until 1996 The Broadway Department Store was known by employees to be very

haunted. On the third floor, stock workers were frightened by music coming from

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,

but when investigated, the store was empty. One dock guy quit after he

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

and the theater was built. Reportedly only one person ever died on the store

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

loading her into the ambulance. A child was severely injured once while playing

on the escalator from the second to the first floor, and his blood stains had

soaked into the tile at the foot of the escalator and remained until the store

was destroyed.

Los Angeles - Venice Beach - Westminster Ave. Apartment Bldg. - Charlie Chaplin

used to own several of the large buildings that sit near or along the famous

Venice Beach Boardwalk in Los Angeles. In the day, these buildings were commonly

used as bath houses or lodging for wealthy vacationers. Today, these buildings

have been converted to apartment buildings for the local artists, musicians, and

other creative types that now inhabit Venice Beach. Incidentally these buildings

cradle around the famous Building Number 26 on Westminster Ave. It has been

documented in print as well as Chaplin's films that during the early 1900's he

did much of his filming in and around these properties on Westminster Avenue. In

1915, during the filming of "By the Sea" Chaplin's stunt double mysteriously

disappeared from the film set. Production was put on hold for three days and a

full on man-hunt was instated. After turning up empty-handed, it was assumed

that the long time friend of Chaplin's must have quit and left on his on

recognizance. The studios that were financially backing the film, were losing

money. Under haste, Chaplin was forced to replace his stunt double and continue

production of the film. On the seventh day after the disappearance, Chaplin

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
