The spirit of actor/director/writer Orson Welles can be seen at this swank Los Angeles restaurant. Known to frequent this spot in life, he comes back in death as if nothing happened.
Mr Welles’ figure can be seen wearing a black cape, smoking cigars and drinking his favorite brandy. Customers as well as waiters can atest to seeing puffs of smoke and smelling the scent of brandy coming from Mr. Welles’ favorite table in the restaurant.
The spirit of a man in a gray suit is known to haunt this building. He has been seen in the pet shop (Cat’s Meow) as well as the neighboring bookstore (Eddie’s Treasures Bookstore).
The ghost of this theater was the unfortunate result of an accident involving a young woman and a really heavy light fixture. She has been seen dancing on stage and can also be heard re-enacting her death by letting out a frightening scream.
This adobe was the scene of a home-invasion robbery in which the thieves got away with some $35,000 in gold, as well as a pair of earrings literally ripped from the ears of Teodora Olivas, the matriarch. The spirit is believed to be that of one of the Olivas daughters, Dominga, who died during childbirth, but could possibly beTeodora herself. The apparition can be seen wearing a black-dress roaming the grounds. Note: Special thanks go to Richard Senate and Ventura Historian, Glenda Jackson, in regards to this story.
An aged monk wearing a gray robe can be seen roaming the garden of the mission.
