Casa Lemus Parking Lot

Sept 4, 2016 about 2AM. Car alarm went off in parking lot. Looked through hotel room window, nobody in lot. Then saw full body apparition walking from area where car alarm was going off. Head and shoulders in clear plain view as a dark shadow, remainder of body was translucent. Walked from cars deeper into parking lot and disappeared right in front of my eyes.

St. Augustine Cathedral

My dad said that in 1983 he was at mass and he went to the restroom and he saw an apparition of an elderly lady in all black lying on the floor when he looked at her she disappeared. He later found it was St. Catherine Drexel, the founder who died in 1955. He didn’t tell his parents about this until 2014.

Woman In White Dress

Seven years ago on my way home driving through Belmont, as I always did, around 2:30 in the morning I saw a woman in a long flowing white dress (looked like she was possibly in her late 30’s/early 40’s but I am bad with age) walking up Royal Road (right around 58 Royal Road) walking right up the street. Although I looked at her as I passed, she did not look at me and instead continued staring straight in front of her.

I thought it was very odd for a woman to be out so late at night, all by herself, and her outfit choice was just bizarre. It wasn’t a normal dress you’d see today. I can’t explain it.

Just one minute later I did a U-turn in a driveway just around the corner by Thomas Street and came back to have a look at her again.

She had just disappeared…….. It was not enough time for her in my turning around for fifteen seconds to have gone into any homes, let alone walked up a driveway she was passing by… She truly just disappeared.

It was at this point I got the chills and realized this woman was not human. I still don’t know what she was, I wouldn’t say anything threatening or evil, but I am no expert. I just know for certain she was not human so I would say it was a ghost for sure.

The reason why I now post this is because I have never forgotten this woman in the white dress walking that windy street in Belmont seven years ago, and want to know more as I am just as intrigued as I was that morning.

I have heard other stories about people seeing this woman as well. I would love to learn more like the history of that road, maybe even the history of 58 Royal Road, etc. Please comment if you saw her also or have any insight as to this experience.

A woman visited Midnite Slice claiming her the ghost of her mother was at the location and she stopped by to visit.

While Midnite Slice prepared for the grand opening, a man named Curly stopped by and hung out talking about the history of the area. Around a month later a patron was talking with the employees when Curly’s visit was mentioned. She said it was impossible because Curly was her Great Grandfather.

Oaklyn Manor Bar

Incorporated in 1933, there are ghosts that haunt the Manor. From bottles clinking to beer kegs rolling on their own. ghosts have roamed the three bar rooms and two apartments. Recently a beer tray flew off the shelf without any wind. Hearing bottles clinking, the bartender checked out what he thought were broken bottles in the basement -there were none. The bartender was tapping a new keg when another key rolled toward him head over bottom and there was no one there. Had he not gotten out of the way he may not be here today. Numerous white vapor sightings in the three restaurant rooms.
