Pleasanton is actually famed for its otherworldly residents, drawing amateur ghost hunters and spurring ghost walks through the haunts of the settlers, scoundrels, prospectors, ladies of the night, and bandits that once lived in the rough-and-tumble town before it became a respectable Bay Area suburb. On more than one occasion, ghost hunters captured eerie shadows and images that simply have no explanation. But are they ghosts? Is This One of Pleasanton's Legendary Ghosts Captured on Camera?

When it comes to hotels famed for otherworldly guests, you just have to mention Los Angeles’ Hotel Cecil, sometimes called 'murder hotel' by locals. Hotel Cecil was the inspiration for an entire season of “American Horror Story.” Over the years it’s been home to suicides galore and a grisly murder scene. It was homebase for the Night Stalker as well as the writer who became a serial killer while writing about the Night Stalker (seriously). But most recently, it’s the site where the body of a Canadian tourist was found floating in the water tank. Her death was ruled a suicide, but hotel security footage - the last time she was seen alive - shows her hiding in the elevator and behaving bizarrely.

If you've ever been to the Winchester Mystery House, a Victorian mansion that was home to the peculiar widow of the Winchester rifle fortune, you would know just how creepy the recent discovery of yet another room is. The 161-room mansion, famed for its stairs and doors to nowhere, has yet another room that has been hidden for nearly a century.

The home's preservation team recently opened the new room, which is an attic space that has been boarded up since before Sarah Winchester died in 1922. Winchester boarded up the room after the 1906 earthquake because she was trapped in the room and she thought evil spirits were responsible for the quake. The preservation team found numerous items in the room, including a pump organ, a Victorian couch, a dress form, a sewing machine and paintings. New Room Discovered at Winchester Mystery House
