THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Leonis Adobe Museum is associated with ghost stories involving former residents of the historic ranch. Visitors have reported apparitions in period clothing, phantom footsteps, mysterious voices, and sudden cold spots throughout the property. The museum has become one of Southern California's notable haunted historic sites.
Miguel Leonis, a former real estate manager, grew so powerful that people who opposed him beat him up and left him for dead. He and his wife, Espiritu, are said to be heard walking and talking on the second floor of the building.
