The Ghost of Claudia Chambers, The Chambers Mansion - San Franciso, California

In 1887, silver tycoon Richard Chambers is said to have built a stately manor featuring two tower like features in the front facade.  Chambers made his mark on Utah gaining wealth from the silver mines, but it would be this new mansion in the Pacific Heights area of San Francisco that would become well known all over the world, in a haunting way.

The Blue Lady of Half Moon Bay - San Francisco, California

During the 1920s, some of the Hollywood elite would find escape from prohibition along the coast of California at an elite speakeasy known as Frank's Place which was located along Moss Beach on Half Moon Bay near San Francisco.  The club was owned by Frank Torez and although prohibition was in effect, his club would readily serve alcohol. For some reason Frank's Place was never raided by police and some of California's upper class including stars of Hollywood were often seen there.  It seems that one of these regulars however, still call it home.
