I don’t remember how I found this site, but it offers a very thorough list of haunt spots throughout Los Angeles. It seems like they’re not that interested in spreading it beyond Los Angeles though, who knows maybe they will in the future.
Here’s a brief rundown of what’s new:
I’ve still got plenty of stories to upload, keep an eye out.

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.
Two ghosts are known to haunt Ventura City Hall, the first is the possible ghost of “Ma” Duncan, a lady convicted of killing an in-law. Her spirit is known to be focused mostly on making life uncomfortable for police officers and is blamed for unusual malfunctions with the chamber’s emergency telephone line. The other spirit is an as-yet unidentified ghost lady who is dressed in blue clothing from the 1940’s. She has been seen lingering near the doors of the third-floor elevator.
Haunted by the lone ghost of Sylvia Michaels, a former prostitute. She was found dead of an apparent suicide (She hung herself in a closet). Her spirit has engaged in poltergeist activities ever since.
As I understand it, the inn runs ghost tours there, check it out sometime and tell me how it was.
The ghosts of the mission can be seen inside the adjoining cemetery.
