Fort Vancouver National Historic Site

12/30/2024

0 Comments

 
Fort Vancouver National Historic Site was headquarters for the Hudson Bay Company. Established in 1825, the trading post was essential to fur commerce along the Pacific Coast. 

In 1866, a fire destroyed the Fort and it was not rebuilt until 1965. Today, visitors today can view modern replica structures within the original fort footprint. 

Over the years, "paranormal phenomena have been reported here" including "strange glowing mists that move above the grounds". In 1993, a Native American exorcism was allegedly performed "to calm the restless spirits".

Not staying overnight at this hotel!

♬ Untitled #13 (Super Slowed) - glwzbll
Mission Inn Hotel & Spa is a historic boarding house located in Riverside, CA. Opened in 1876, the site quickly became known as a “property with a high mortality rate” due to a series of mysterious visitor deaths at the turn of the 19th century. 

On July 19, 1908, customer Charlotte Foster complained that “she had seen ghosts in her room”. The Riverside Daily Press and Riverside Enterprise newspapers both dismissed Foster’s claims, but the “Mission Inn’s ghost stories persisted” nevertheless. 

By the 1950s, the hotel’s “haunted reputation was fairly well established”. Guests report observing  the spirit of hotel architect Frank Miller in room 413 where he died in 1935, as well as faces peering out of closets.  

Frequently ranked among the most haunted historic hotels in the United States, the grounds of the Mission Inn are open to members of the public in search of the supernatural.

Colton Hall Museum & Jail
Colton Hall is the first government building of California. Built in the 1840s, the site hosted a Constitutional Convention and also served as a jailhouse from 1851 to 1939. 

Museum staff report "so many strange experiences that there is no other reasonable explanation than to accept that ghosts are all over the place". Intense cold spots and disembodied footsteps are frequently observed on the balcony where the gallows once stood.

Is the Henry Levy House one of California’s most haunted residences?

♬ It Follows Theme - Retrospectre
The Henry Levy House is a 1914 Craftsman-style home located in the Oxnard Historic District. The dwelling is "known for eerie occurrences" and "rumors of ghostly phenomena".

In a 2022 episode of Ghost Adventures, homeowners Eric Andrist and Jeff Rizzo shared security camera footage of locked doors mysteriously flying open and audio capturing a creepy voice as host Zak Bagans was filming on the second floor.

The site is a Ventura County Historic Landmark and popular attraction for Halloween trick-or-treating.

Howe-Waffle House and Medical Museum is an 1889 residence in the Downtown Santa Ana Historic District. The home was inhabited by Dr. Willella Howe-Waffle, one of California's first female physicians, until her death in 1924.

The site is regularly featured on local haunted tours and was subject of a 2013 episode of Ghost Adventures. Patrons have noted "feeling as though someone were right there wanting to communicate" and have observed orbs of light traveling across dark rooms.

Entity House
The Entity House inspired the book and film The Entity. In 1974, resident Doris Bither claimed three spirits sexually assaulted her including "Mr. Whose-It," a 6-foot-tall poltergeist, and two other entities with "oriental faces".

Parapsychologists Kerry Gaynor and Barry Taff investigated the home and encountered a spectral light show with an "expanding, contracting appearance" along with the "overpowering smell of decomposing flesh". The property now serves as a private family residence.

The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel opened on May 15, 1927 and is the oldest hotel in Los Angeles. Known for hosting numerous Hollywood stars, "it's no surprise that the hotel has been home of innumerable ghostly sightings".

Marilyn Monroe was a regular guest and her "reflection is seen in a full-length mirror" in Room 1200. Montgomery Clift haunts the 9th Floor where "people hear Clift pacing up and down the hallway rehearsing his lines".

The site is designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.
