  1. Staying at La Playa Hotel, Carmel by sea all alone during recent renovation. I can state was an amazing experience,I had my share of experiences with paranormal activity, exposing areas of mansion that had been sealed, discovering the water well, and more. The place is definitely haunted, by a female.
