Spirited Ships

Long Beach’s Most Haunted
Long Beach has no shortage of ghostly lore. One of the city’s creepiest spots is Igor’s Alley, a shadowy passageway near the East Village Arts District. It’s said this narrow alley was once a meeting place for occultists, and today, visitors report whispers, shadowy figures, and the feeling of being watched.
Established in 1906, the Sunnyside Cemetery is home to thousands of graves. It’s also home to chilling unexplained activity including orbs floating through the air and disembodied voices. The spirits of Civil War veterans and prominent Long Beach figures are said to roam the grounds, with some visitors claiming to see shadowy figures disappearing into the headstones.
Meanwhile, the Long Beach Marriott has gained a reputation for spectral activity. Guests and staff have described televisions turning on and off by themselves, laughter echoing down empty hallways, and full-bodied apparitions appearing in hotel rooms.
