After Party Ghost List

20 Nov

Mulholland House

Ghost List for the After Party: A to Z

Hedy, Bev and Niv’ all are said to have said that Errol’s powerful spirit remained here after his death, or at least occasionally returned. The Hamblems and Nelsons believed so, too – along with other presences at Errol’s favorite old haunt, Mulholland Farm. Paranormal activities have abounded on the Zaca, too, it’s been said.

So, whether you believe in ghosts, or not, let’s explore the legends. Don’t be afraid of no ghosts.…. That’s the spirit.

If they exist at all, were they somehow connected to Errol, or perhaps to James Lankershim, the land’s former owner, or someone else entirely???

What are your thoughts?

Mulholland

Here are some things that were reported at Mulholland after Errol’s death:

Apparitions All through the House

Breaking of Glass

Cheap Perfume in Upstairs Room, and Elsewhere

Cynical Presence

Dark Presence

Doors Locked from Inside Empty Rooms

Entire House Shook When Errol Died

Errol in a Tuxedo, Celebrating New Years
