The historic Santa Maria Inn is believed to be haunted in room 221 and is also haunted in the gardens, the cellar and the old English tap room.

| The historic Santa Maria Inn was founded by J. Mcoy on May 16, 1917. Mcoy came to Santa Maria Valley in 1904 to work at the Union Sugar Plant and realized the area didn't have a comfortable hotel. When he retired in 1915, he bought property eight blocks south of the cities center and began construction of his dream. The Santa Maria Inn opened May 16, 1917, with 24 rooms, 24 baths, a kitchen and a dining room. Two years later, Mcoy added 12 more rooms, and in 1923 he added another 21 rooms and a second dining room. Another 28 rooms were added in 1928. In 1950 the Inn was forced to close its doors due to America changing. America became more mobile, with faster cars capable of traveling greater distances. To accommodate that change, highway 101 was built east of the city. No longer did travelers motor past the Inn. Instead they were drawn to the new chain of motels popping up farther |
| The Mission was founded Dec 8, 1787 by Francisco Padre Presidente Fermin Francisco Lasuen. It was the 11th of 21 Franciscan missions in California. The early years of the mission consisted of several thousand Chumash Indians whom were baptized into the Catholic church. With over 100 small and large adobe buildings built, a water system developed, and crops and livestock raised allowing the mission to grow and prosper. In 1812, the mission was struck by the many earthquakes, aftershocks, and uncontrollable drenching from the water, damaged the mission beyond repair. Therefore, the mission was granted a new location just four miles northwest where there was an easier and |
safer access to the El Camino Real, and a much better water supply and climate to work with as well. In 1804 smallpox,
measles, and other health problems began to take a heavy toll on the missions Indians. Between 1804-1807 there were
about 500 deaths (1 for every three living at the mission). The total population of mission Indians began to decline.
However, it is noteworthy that these are the only deaths that were recorded. According to the non-Christian history
there was more than 15,000 Indians slaughtered and tortured by the mission and countless others died while being free
labor for that 'religion'.

The Far Western Tavern, located in Guadalupe California. Built in 1912 by the
carenini and Forni families as the Palace hotel in downtown Guadalupe. The hotel
was later sold to Elvesia and Angelo Ferrari. In 1958 Clarence and Rosali Minetti
purchased the Palace Hotel and turned it into what it is today, The Far Western
Tavern. We conducted 3 investigations at the Far Western Tavern and from each
investigation, we came up with hundreds of evp's. From residual to intelligent,
children to adults, and friendly to malevolent. Our second and third investigation
provided us with some shadows and foot-steps. Photo evidence consisted of
ectoplasm and numerous orbs.

The legends state that the ghost of Charlotte Sitton wanders the cemetery every Friday
night between 10 PM and midnight. She was supposedly the young wife of a minister
who committed suicide at the age of 19 in December of 1890. Her child (some stories
say children) supposedly died during a diphtheria epidemic and now she leaves
flowers on her child's grave late Friday nights. Dressed in a long white nightgown she
is said to appear near either her grave or her child's grave. Occasionally she can be
seen carrying flowers and laying them on the grave.
The cemetery was started by Wesley Burnett in the late 1800's and is rather large

The cemetery was started by Wesley Burnett in the late 1800's and is rather large
consisting of two separate levels, a lower level and an upper level. The first person buried in the cemetery was Mary K
Burnett in January of 1878. She was the wife of Wesley Burnett and her grave can be found in the upper level. The
cemetery was incorporated in 1905 around the time of Wesley's death. He is buried next to his wife and the cemetery
recognizes him on the back of a wooden sign that hangs from a tall tree near the front gate. Ironically, his grave didn't
even have a marker on it until the fall of 2001 when his great granddaughter had one placed on the spot where records
showed his grave to be.
The Central Coast Paranormal Investigators have yet to conduct a official paranormal investigation here but do in future
plans.
