I just found this out from a haunted places website. Creepy, but cool.

San Diego - Villa Montezuma - On K Street, near Barrio Logan. Built in 1887 for a musician named Jesse Shepherd. The house has a very dark, heavy feeling. After Jesse Shepherd’s death, the house went through a succession of owner's, all of which claimed bad things happened to them while in possession of the house. Shepherd had once enjoyed wealth and fame, but at the end of his life, he was very poor and emotionally unstable. The house is said to be haunted by Shepherd himself and an elderly widow who previously owned the house. She is seen looking out of the window in one of the towers. Reason for Shephard's haunting said to be the fact that Shephard was known for being able to "channel" famous piano players while playing and was once reported to be playing Mozart with one hand and Chopin with the other. It is believed that while channeling the great composers, he channeled some negative energy into the house. Beautiful stained glass portraying pictures of famous composer, writers, and artists. In some of these, hair seems to be turning gray and beards seem to be growing. Strong presence is felt, and reports of seeing scenes the past (1800s some time). It feels like something was actually looking out the window, through your eyes. It was a very uncomfortable, evil feeling. There are tours in this place.



If you could channel a musician, without any danger of channeling negative energy, who would you conjure up?


I would channel Vivaldi's composing technique/inspiration.

well, let me be the first to call "HENDRIX!"

Stevie Ray!

Randy Rhoads!

Donny Hathaway!

OoooO...thanks for this info Vina; love stuff like this and would like to see this house if I ever get to that city again. I myself have been involved in a few haunted episodes throughout my life, one of which has actually been documented by some Drs. I'm a magnet for those creepy peeps and as much as it freaks me out a bit, I seem to be drawn to it.

Here is a list of haunted places all over the world!
