Real Haunted House

Moss Beach Distillery

Moss Beach, California

During the Prohibition era of the 1920s, a young woman was murdered after her lover found her cheating with another man who was employed at the site. Today, “The Lady in Blue,” lurks around the cliffs surrounding the building; she warns children not to play too close to the edge. In the area, there have also numerous reports of poltergeist activity. Such activities include: incessant telephone ringing, cases of wine being stacked behind the door leading to a windowless storage room, objects randomly being thrown about, and doors mysteriously slamming.

I friend took me to dinner here for my birthday in Aug of 2003. We sat at a table near the windows that overlooked the ocean. After ordering dinner, the table started to vibrate and hum then shook violently and levatated several inches. We were both startled but sceptacle. We checked under the table for electronic devises and even moved the table, thinking it must have been a joke. No JOKE! Several other patrons as well as the waitress gathered round. There was a flurry of activity for several minutes while they assured us that the table was not rigged in any way. They offered to reseat us at a different table, but we decided to stay put. Dinner was served, an excellent meal by the way. Now wishing to rush an end to our evening, we decided to stay and have dessert on the patio which is below the restruant on the cliffs over looking the ocean. There are some lovely benches and lap blankets. While waiting for our coffee and cheescake, I used the ladies restroom which is in the lower level of the building, and although I was certain I was the only one in there I could hear the mournful crying of a woman, I even asked out loud, “Are you okay?” When I came out of the stall, no one was there, not in the bath room and not on the lower level. The only other person was my friend who was out on the patio. We ate our dessert and drank our coffee, and altough we saw no apparitions, a chill wind and fog rolled in, obscuring our view and effectively ending our evening. We both had the sense that the evening had been an extrordinary experience, pleasant though odd. I’m convinced the shaking table was NOT a tourist trick, and the mysterious crying woman was the Lady in Blue. By the way, if you ever go there, Try the surf and turf (filet and giant prawns)it was the best I ever had, and the service was impecable! I swear to you this is a true story!

I like the fact that the ghost may be nice.
Ghost: “Don’t fall off the ledge children.”
Kids: Okay.

Unsolved Mystries reported the ‘Lady in Blue’s’ young son had fallen to his death from the cliffs. And that she had died in a car crash near the distillery. Today, she warns children to stay far away from the edge.

My family and I went there for dinner this summer. My cousin and I heard the lady in the blue dress laughing while we were in the bathroom. So we ran upstairs and asked the waitress and she admitted that some tourist traps were planted, such as the chandiler over the bar that shakes.

Another tourist trap in the women’s bathroom is a face appearing in the mirror, I don’t know about the laugh, though.

I think it’s totally stupid and despicable when an establishment fakes hauntings like this, that’s why I’m boycotting the Moss Beach Distillery – even though I live somewhat nearby!

I think it’s fine to have a few Ghost “special effects” at the Distillery; people (myself included) love the whole Ghost theme as it is a lot of fun. Many
professionals such as Sylvia Browne have visited the Distillery and are convinced that spirits and ghosts visit on a frequent basis. Say what you will, the view of the ocean is awesome. Yes, the food is expensive but was very good on my last two visits for dinner.

I am from Half Moon Bay and my sister worked as a waitress at the Distillery for 2 weeks and says she will NEVER go back. Not even for dinner. She doesn’t really talk about what happened except for 1 story:
The wine cellar is located downstairs and the door opens inward. One night she went down to retrieve a second bottle of wine for her table and couldn’t get the door to open. It took 3 strong guys to finally pushed the door open, when they managed to peak inside they saw that all the cases of wine had been pushed up against the door, all the way to the ceiling. She hates it there. Even when we drive by she gets creeped out.

Personally, I find this place pathetic. Any Real paranormal activity they may have can never be trusted because they’ve decided to turn themselves into a cheesy haunted house. There are speakers hidden all over the place, sensors, hydraulics, and a whole host of other fabricated “hauntings.” Beyond that the staff is simply rude and insulting.

I live in San Francisco, and had often heard stories about the Moss Beach Distillery hauntings.

I am also an huge fan of the SciFi Channel’s Ghost Hunters show. Last night they aired a new epsiode, which was an investigation of the Moss Beach Distillery. The own/manager listed many claims of patrons seeing faces in the mirror and hearing laughter in the women’s restroom, hearing noises through the halls, and the chandelier shaking.

After an intense investigation, the hunters discovered all of the booby traps and rigs set up to simulate paranormal activity. This includes all of the activity the duped patrons reported. The Moss beach Distillery fabricated hauntings with electronic devises, and then tried to use the reports as evidence… all the while compleyly knowing that it was all a ruse.

Needless to say, the investigators were very upset and angry to have been lied to. It was terribly unprofessional of the Moss beach Distillery to waste the time of the investigators with falsified reports. The Distiller claimed that they use the equipment to ‘enhance’ the haunting experience, but how can any evidence be trusted, considering the likely hood that anything discovered has been tainted.

The Moss Beach Distillery tarnished its reputation as being a haunting location in Northern California.

Recently TAPS investigated the Moss Beach Distillery and found that the building is ‘rigged’ to scare you – an eerie face behind a mirror that lights up, pneumatic devices that make the chandeliers swing, and more. It’s a hoax out there folks…don’t bother.

CAGHOSTRIDER says:

T.A.P.S. investigated that place, it’s a fake. Nothing but fun house devices that got Grant injured the owners and managers should be ashamed of themselves!

Lighten up everyone! My visiting family loves this place–yes, the hauntings are mostly fake but they are usually very obvious (the lady in the mirror, for instance). There probably may have been a lady in blue at some point but by now she has been scared away by the tourists and the nonsense. It is overpriced and the service does generally suck. However, watching the sunset with an Irish coffee (or what have you) from the back deck at sunset cannot be beat.
