Haunts?

[clint]

An indian at the top of helicopter hill? Pretty entertaining since the locals were not head dress wearing indians. Maybe a b movie actor died up there in costume.

Well maybe thats why it was a rumor, or he is a really lost soul.

Maybe the head band is throwing people a curve. It's actually the spirit of a hippie

This doesn't count as a confirmed haunting... but one night I was reading in my living room when I saw my cat's gaze transfixed on the stairway behind me. Nothing unusual, cats always do that. But then I saw that my dog -- who would normally be barking at my cat -- was staring at the same place. Neither animal was making any other move. So I turned around... didn't see anything. But I still got up and took a ceramic cross off the wall, and then went up and blessed the staircase!

It's been a while since we've had a topic get so far out of hand like this one did during the past week. There were way too many comments that did not relate to Wrightwood History including religious beliefs.

It's not easy to moderate comments and opinions of so many different personalities. The Forum rules are in place as a guideline to help moderators avoid extremes within reasonable limits. Posted comments many times drift to others subjects and generally return back to the topic being discussed. It's up to moderators to keep an eye on topics and help guide the discussion within reasonable limits. There have been many times that I've split a topic when it appears that a separate topic would be something forum members want to discuss.

I've rolled this topic back to where the bulk of off topic discussions started. If someone wants to discuss Ouija boards that relate to Haunts in Wrightwood then it's OK to post here as long as it doesn't take on a religious discussion. If it's going to be a general discussion about Ouija boards then it belongs in another topic in the Just For Fun Forum.

I stumbled onto this topic and I can't believe nobody's brought up the racoon saloon.

I have been told by several former/current employees that-
-this ghost is a previous owner who fell off the icy roof and broke his neck while putting up christmas lights in the 1980's
-he likes to pinch the female employes, sort of shove past people and enjoys breathing down your neck when you are working at the register.
-i think also there was something about pulling a stool out from under somebody as they were in the process of sitting down once.

I had an encounter there that lead me to the ask questions which lead to me learning the above information-

I'm sure this could be explained as some elaborate electrical somethingorother but i highly doubt it-

I was there late with my brother in law and the bartender-(i shouldn't say their name without asking)  being the only others there. My brother in law and i were sitting on stools in front of the old cd jukebox (that's now been replaced by that high tech crap) we were just a few feet in front of it and sort of  half facing it. Our songs had just  run out a few minutes ago and we were looking for 1's  to load it back up with songs.  The cd "book" or what ever you call it, the pages inside behind the glass in the jukebox you flip with the buttons started randomly flipping around forward a few, back and then forward and then fast and then slow, very random but very fast at times. This went on for about ten or fifteen seconds and we were both staring at it from about two feet away. I thought it was pretty strange but afterwards my brother in law said he had noticed the arrow page turning buttons were moving (being pushed) during this, i had not noticed that but i was fixated on the pages. (he was much more freaked than myself) that is until we told unnamed bartender what had just happened and if there was something wrong with the jukebox. At that point the uneasy look we got made the hair stand on my neck. That's when we were relayed the info at the top of my post.

I have not heard anything since, but it's been a while and i'm not quite the night owl pubcrawler i used to be!

There have to be more stories, i'll ask-

That's pretty freaky.  And to think, I went there for New Years.

Well you shouldn't have to worry about that for another 5 years or so Funky, since you can't go in the Racoon Saloon until you are 21. Who knows what changes will take place in those 5 years.

I never had my butt pinched at the Raccoon! Does the ghost pinch everyone, cause I'm feeling left out. I'll be there in the morning for bloody marys so we will see.

LOL!  Another excuse for some low life to pinch a ladies rear!   Lets blame it on a spirit...that should make it okay! he he!

[Hillbillies]

So that's what Heaven is like.  You get to come back and pinch butts while being invisible!  By golly there is a GOD!

[Thiassi]

I was at the Raccoon all weekend and not one pinch. I think it is a hoax!But it was fun watching the parade while drinking lots of beer.

How about the haunts that exist in the kitchen area of Camp Mariastella.

Maybe we can get YoMama to express his experience with the Kitchen there.

[Hillbillies]

YoMama does have a lot of experience with kitchen equipment...

Maybe he can share with us the small stove/oven at the San Andreas Grill...

Back in the mid -fifties it was owned by some retired boxer. I don't remember his name but when he was in town I remember he would give us lessons.

[Wrightwood]

YoMama how about it?
