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.

DeleteFirst let me say your list of haunted places in California is the best I have seen on the internet. My comment is in reguards to Washington school in Alameda. My children attended there in 1996, during a school gathering which was held at night... I walked down the dark hallway as a short cut to our car, in order to pick up the rest of my family at the main entrance. I hadn't heard of anything paranormal in reguards to washington school... yet as I walked alone down the hallway towards the exit all the hair on my neck stood up and I felt a cold chill I had never experienced before. i also felt as if someone was staring a hole through me! I reached the doors only to find them locked! needless to say I ran like the wind back where i can from and where there was light shining. I found out later about the poor child who died there. The experience was priceless!

I want to post about a ghost at the Manchester Court Apartments in Modesto. Several times I felt a presence in my apartment. Once I felt I was being choked while sleeping. another time I could feel footsteps walking across my mattress while I was laying down. It got so bad that my devoutly Catholic mom gave me holy water. I spoke with a neighbor at the time and she reported similar experiences in her apartment. I no longer live in this complex, but I've often wondered since if there was something else in the area before the apartment building was built.
ReplyDeleteWow is just the simple word that may explain that how much I liked it. It was nicely stuffed with the material I was looking for. It’s great to be here though by chance.
