story 11:Winchester Mystery House

Of all the reportedly haunted buildings in San Jose, the most famous one is probably the notorious Winchester Mystery House! The house was something of a pet project for Sarah Winchester, the somewhat eccentric air to the Winchester Rifle fortune. Sarah has somehow become certain that the spirit of every single person who had ever been killed using a Winchester firearm had come to haunt her. In order to make things more difficult for what she believed to be vengeful spirits, she continuously remodeled the house in an attempt to confuse the ghosts. This has resulted in a strange, and often maze-like home where there are twists, turns, dead ends and of course staircases that lead to nowhere. The renovations were a constant pet project for Sarah and they continued until she died. These days the property is said to be very haunted. Could it be that Sarah was right about the building work keeping the spirits at bay and now that Sarah is gone and tools have been set down, they are beginning to claim the building as their own?  There are even reports from some visitors that some of the workmen are still there toiling away perhaps unaware that the job is over, or perhaps taking on the responsibility of driving the other spirits out!

Before it found itself crammed between some movie theaters and a major freeway, the Winchester House was the residence and pet project of noted local eccentric Sarah Winchester, heir to the Winchester Rifle fortune. Convinced the spirits of those killed by Winchester firearms were out to get her, she built the house full of twists, turns and dead-ends to throw them off course—a never-ending project that was in progress until the day she died. The Winchester House, though today a tourist attraction, still houses the happy haunts that kept Sarah company for 38 years.

story 10:Great America

The ghost of a boy who died on a ride near the games section of the park is said to bring the games to life after closing. Workers cutting through the midway on their way to the employee exit swear they have seen lights flicker, sounds blare and machines switch on and off long after the electricity has been shut off for the day. Maybe that’s why its annual month-long Halloween Haunt is one of the best holiday events in town.

Is there anything eerier than a little boy ghost bringing retro carnival games to life at a historic amusement park? Doubtful. The specter that spooks thrill-seekers at Great America amusement park in Santa Clara could be a young boy who was reportedly killed on a ride at the park in the ’80s. Workers claim they’ve seen game lights flicker and machines turn on and off on the midway after hours, and the little boy ghost (possibly named Doug) might be to blame.

story 9:Agnew's Insane Asylum

Agnews Insane Asylum as it stands now was built in 1918 to replace the previous structure which was destroyed in 1912. There are several ghosts in residence, both from the original building and the ones that replaced it. Some of the activity that is frequently reported includes doors opening on their own, lights going on and off, a foul smell that comes and goes, and rooms filling up with smoke for no apparent reason! Many people have also seen a lady in yellow who begs for help finding her children, but then vanishes abruptly if you do attempt to help! There have also been reports of other apparitions, things being thrown by unseen forces and disembodied screams and laughter!

story 8:Del Mar High School

One of the most haunted spots in San Jose is said to be the athletic field at Del Mar High School. The haunting here dates back to before the school was even built. Allegedly, a boy was murdered by his best friend back in 1942 on the spot where the athletic field now is. This explains why students and staff alike have reported seeing a boy running up and down the bleachers at the side of the field. There have also been a number of reports of disembodied screaming heard at 3.15am every night – the time that the murder apparently took place.

Before the school opened, a boy was reportedly murdered by his best friend on the grounds where the athletics field stands today. Legend has it that every night at 3:15am, screams can be heard coming from the field and sometimes a figure can be seen running up and down the bleachers.

story 7:Quimby Road

One of the most popular ghost stories coming out of the San Jose area is probably the Quimby Road jogger. A number of very credible witnesses have reported seeing a ghostly figure jogging along Quimby Road at night. Some say that he appears at midnight while others say that he appears as soon as it starts getting dark! One thing that most witnesses agree on is that if the jogger spots them he will stop and stare at them for a short while before resuming his nightly jog. Nobody is quite sure who he is or why he is still jogging even after death!

story 6:Marsh Road

It certainly seems like San Jose has more than its fair share of haunted highways and creepy side roads! One such road is Marsh Road which has become something of a rite of passage for local high school students. The area is said to be haunted by Marcy Conrad who was killed by her boyfriend. The story has all of the usual hallmarks of an Urban Legend, but with one big difference – this murder really did take place and there are documented records to prove it! Marcy’s ghost is said to roam the section of Marsh Road where she was killed and her apparition has been spotted on a number of occasions by teens who go in search of a scare. Law enforcement have long since closed this section of road so if you do decide to go looking for Marcy you are going to have to do it on foot!

It’s become almost a rite of passage for Milpitas high school kids to seek out the ghost of murder victim Marcy Conrad, who was killed by her boyfriend on Marsh Road. Unlike the back stories of most urban legends, this murder was real and well-documented. The area of Marsh Road where the ghost is said to roam has long been closed off by law enforcement, so leave the Mystery Machine at home.

story 5:Dottie's Pond, Santa Teresa County Park

If you visit Santa Teresa County Park, keep your eyes peeled for a small pond known locally as ‘Dottie’s Pond’. The area is said to be haunted by the spirit of a young woman known as Dottie who drowned in the pond. The exact circumstances surrounding Dottie’s death vary depending on who is telling the story and some versions even suggest that she drowned herself after hanging her parents in a nearby barn while others say that she was pulled under the water by some strange being. However Dottie met her untimely end, what everyone can agree on is that Dottie appears by the side of the pond on occasion, usually scaring the living daylights out of the visitors who see her!

There are several versions of the campfire story that involves the small pond in Santa Teresa Springs, but they all end the same way—a girl named Dottie is pulled under the water by a giant hand. Sometimes there is a sub-plot involving Dottie being angry at her parents and somehow mustering up the physical strength to hang them from the rafters in the nearby barn.

story 4:Hicks Road

Anyone who has lived in San Jose for any length of time knows the legend of Hicks Road. It’s an old and dark myth, but it is certainly a good one! There are all manner of creepy tales associated with Hicks Road ranging from urban legends to paranormal occurrences. The main story that you will hear about Hicks Road is about the albinos! Apparently there is a small group or family of Albinos who live in small huts just off Hicks Road and they are not at all happy to get visitors! There have been lots of reports of people being chased by these strange, pale  figures who many feel are not albinos at all, but some kind of spirits. Others have claimed to be chased by men in high speed trucks who attempt to run them off of the road. So much so, that most locals will prefer to find an alternative route even if it takes them a little bit out of their way. The Albino clan is not the only thing that frightens them. Hicks Road is also said to be haunted by a witch and there are rumors of satanic rituals in the area leading to claims that there are demonic entities lingering as well.

This dark myth is a golden oldie. The eerie Hicks Road in San Jose passes through a wild area of the county, thus making it a prime backdrop for a pervasive urban legend. Legend has it that albinos, or sometimes witches or recluses, angrily chase trespassers who wander (or deliberately joyride) through their territory.

story 3:Yoshihiro Uchida Hall, San Jose State

If you happen to pay a visit to San Jose State University, then you really need to make time to stop by Yoshihiro Uchida Hall, which is one of the most haunted places in San Jose.  It is pretty much common knowledge that the building was once used as a processing site for Japanese internees throughout World War II. In fact, the building takes its name from a former SJSU judo coach whose parents and siblings were among those registered here before being sent to Imperial Valley camps. These days, students and staff alike claim to hear disembodied voices and faint crying coming from inside Yoshihiro Uchida Hall even when it is known to be empty.

It’s well-known that SJSU’s Yoshihiro Uchida Hall was used as a processing site for Japanese internees during WWII. Students and staff have long claimed to hear faint human crying and voices coming from the building, named after SJSU alum judo coach whose parents and siblings were registered in the building before being sent to camps in the Imperial Valley.

Story 2:The Haunted Chucky E Cheese

I have lived in East San Jose most of my life. I was born and raised here and have very fond memories of this great town. One story that I will never forget involves a haunted toy store that later turned into a family restaurant!

Nestled quietly at the corner of Highway 101 and Tully Road, in San Jose, is a three story building that has a familiar rat sitting in the middle window. There are actually three of these giant windows and they were home to three two-story tall toy soldiers. This was back in the mid 1970’s to early 1980’s if I remember correctly. No one can seem to remember the name of the toy store, but everyone remembers the red, blue and yellow toy soldiers that stood guard in those windows. You could see them as you drove past on northbound 101 through East San Jose. I remember many of my young friends telling me stories of the haunted toy store. I don’t remember ever going there as a kid, but my friends did. They said it was scary.

The toy store eventually closed and Chuck E. Cheese Pizza Time Theater moved in. Instead of having three giant soldiers, they were replaced with a giant Chuck E. Cheese rat in the middle window. To this day you can still see it as you drive by. (See above photo.)

The haunted stories have come from many different people over the years. One story is about a little face that has been seen in the windows of the third floor. Even though it does not have public access, and is for storage and employee use only, strange sounds have been heard that make people wonder if it is haunted. Urban legend tells of a little girl who fell out of the third story window to her death below. No one knows if this happened when it was the toy store, or as the restaurant, but people say they see the face of the little girl as they walk away in the parking lot.

Another story involves a little boy looking for his mother and falling down the stairs. A similar story involves a little girl who broke her neck falling down stairs, too. Who knows if these are the same haunted stories or separate incidents. Rumors have it that you can hear the little boy call out for his mom, and the little girl who fell out the window still haunts the third floor.

I frequented this two-story Chuck E. Cheese quite a bit as a young teen, and then again as a Mom with my young son. This is the largest Chuck E. Cheese I have ever seen. When you walk in, there is an enormous seating area for parties including a stage with singing and dancing animatronic characters that entertain guests as they enjoy the wonderful food.

The gaming area is large and takes up two floors. The bottom floor is dedicated to the younger, toddler crowd with its coin operated rides and ticket games. The second floor has video games for the older kids. Because this Chuck E. Cheese is large, you will want to keep an extra eye on your toddlers. We all know they are very fast and there are plenty of places to hide. They do have the standard Check-In at the front podium that involves the parent/guardian and the child having matching hand stamps. They are stamped at arrival and checked upon leaving.

This Chuck E. Cheese might have its ghost stories and is the largest around, but for the security, I do feel safe taking my children there. They do check the stamps and question parents. As with all large gatherings, do not leave your children unattended.

See you there and maybe we will see a ghost on Halloween!

Story 1:The Haunted Toys R Us

____________________________________________________________________________

So let me tell you the tale of a haunted Toys 'R' Us:

The Toys ‘R’ Us in Sunnyvale is haunted by a man named Johnson, employees and psychics say.

“I don’t believe in ghosts,” said Putt-Putt O’Brien, who has spent 18 years stacking toys at the store. “But you feel a breeze behind you. Someone calls your name and there’s nobody there. Funny things happen here that you can’t explain.”

Rag dolls and toy trucks leap off shelves. Balls bounce down the aisles. Children’s books fall out of racks. Baby swings move on their own. The folks at Toys ‘R’ Us say they’ve tried to explain it logically but can’t.

“Many people have experiences, not just one or two of us,” O’Brien said. “He’s like Casper. Nothing he does ever hurt anybody.”

Others have taken notice, too. Newspapers have written about him.

The toy store has been featured on television’s That’s Incredible and other shows. A Hollywood script writer for the movie Toys spent two nights inside doing research. Psychic Sylvia Browne held a seance there in 1978 and has been back a dozen times.

Browne said Johnson told her he was a preacher and ranch hand in the 1880s on the Murphy family farm, where the toy store sits today. He spoke with a mild Swedish accent, and his first name was John, Yon, or Johan. Ten of sixteen people assembled there for the seance said they heard a “high buzzing noise” when Browne was supposedly listening to the ghost.

Browne said the ghost told her he had been in love with Murphy’s daughter Elizabeth, who ran off with an East Coast lawyer. Old news clippings say Johnson accidentally hacked his leg with an ax while carelessly chopping down trees. Another story said Johnson was found dead in the orchard with an ax wound in his neck. Both stories say he bled to death.

O’Brien said she saw Johnson once: A young man in his 20s or 30s, wearing knickers, a white long-sleeved work shirt, and a gray tweed snap-brim cap, walked past her. Another time she heard the sound of galloping horses.

“Yohan used to exercise the horses, they say,” O’Brien said.

Now he apparently gets his exercise playing with the staff. There was the time when men were waxing the floor, for instance, and a teddy bear kept appearing in each aisle as they moved their equipment through the store. There’s the overwhelming sweet smell of garden flowers that haunts Aisle 15C, next to the Mickey Mouse dolls and the Batman toothbrush sets.

So, now the obvious question: Is it all just a desperate sales gimmick?

“It’s very good publicity for us,” said store director Stephanie Lewis. “But I personally don’t believe in it.”
But even if Lewis doesn’t believe it, others do. “Last week we had to chase three or four teenagers away,” she said.

“They were sitting out front at 4 a.m. with a Ouija board, trying to conjure up the ghost. Once a week someone comes in here asking about it. Teenagers beg us to let them spend the night on the floor.”

“I have employees who will not go into the women’s bathroom alone,” Lewis said. That’s because Johnson follows them in there and turns on the water faucets, she said.

Longtime employees say Johnson has also pulled pranks on contractors who come to do short-term jobs. They see a toy leap from a shelf and refuse to come back.

O’Brien believes Johnson lives upstairs in a breezy, cool corner.

The pranks he pulls upstairs are also harmless, she said, but it’s spookier because one is usually alone. “When I go up there, I’ll say, ‘Johan, I’m only here to work,'” O’Brien said.

So if the place is haunted, why stick around?

“It’s a good ghost,” said Lisa, another employee, who didn’t give her last name. “It’s fun here.”
