"People who lives here says it is haunted" #fresnocalifornia #hauntedplace #scarystories #hauntedhotel 


In this chilling episode of Witch Dark Tales, we step inside the eerie walls of the historic Hotel Californian, built in 1923 by visionary architect Richard F. Felchlin—a man whose buildings still shape the Fresno skyline. But while the facade has been restored… the spirits never left.

Discover the true history of this grand hotel-turned-haunted landmark, located at 851 Van Ness Avenue in downtown Fresno. Once the city’s most elegant accommodation, the Hotel Californian became a hotbed for ghost stories and eerie legends during its long abandonment.

👻 Ghost sightings of a mysterious nurse named Sarah
🎶 Phantom children running through empty halls
🚪 Room 306 and the gambler who may have died there
🕯️ EVP encounters in the pitch-black basement
🏨 And the forgotten legacy of the man who built it all—R.F. Felchlin

Turn off the lights and dive into Fresno’s dark architectural past… if you dare.
