THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Julian Gold Rush Hotel is one of California's best-known haunted hotels. Guests have reported the apparition of a young woman, phantom footsteps, mysterious voices, and unexplained activity in several rooms. The hotel's Gold Rush history has inspired generations of ghost stories.
The hotel was previously a restaurant in the 1880’s, until it was refurbished and commenced operations as a hotel in 1897. Evidently, its original owners are reluctant to leave, as Albert, with a pipe in his mouth, has been seen in mirrors. In the upstairs rooms, lace doilies and furniture is often found to be rearranged.
