HAUNTED HOUSES IN ORANGE COUNTY

HAUNTED HOUSES IN ORANGE COUNTY

Are haunted houses real or perceived? There are many tales of people seeing ghosts in their homes. Some of the apparitions so vicious and disruptive that the human tenants had to move out…leaving room for only the spiritual inhabitants. Another name for a haunted house is a location with paranormal activity. One such spot is the infamous Chelsea Hotel on West 23^rd St. in Manhattan.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY AT THE CHELSEA HOTEL

Built in 1884, The Chelsea has hosted a proliferation of artists and novelists, poets, actors, musicians, and filmmakers. Mark Twain was often seen strolling the hallways when he was alive. Among the most notable spirits claimed to have been spotted at The Chelsea are the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas; the American playwright Eugene O’Neill; and the American novelist Thomas Wolfe.

FAMOUS PERSONALTIES STAYED AT THE CHELSEA

The infamous and iconic Janis Joplin also stayed at the Chelsea with her band “Big Brother and The Holding Company” when they recorded their second album “Cheap Thrills”.
