In addition to being the Whaley Family home\, it housed a granary\, the County Court House\, San Diego’s first commercial theater\, various businesses including Thomas Whaley’s own general store\, a ballroom\, a billiard hall\, school\, and polling place. Significant events\, such as the seizure of the court documents and records in 1871\, and the suicide of Violet Whaley in 1885 profoundly affected Thomas and Anna Whaley. These events\, as well as the hangings which occurred on the property before the house was constructed\, have suffused the Whaley House with an air of mystery and added to its reputation as something more than just California State Historic Landmark #65. \nAccording to the Travel Channel’s America’s Most Haunted\, the house is the number one most haunted house in the United States. The alleged hauntings at the Whaley House have been reported on numerous other television programs and been written up in countless publications and books since the house first opened as a museum in 1960. Although we cannot state positively that the Whaley House is really haunted\, the voluminous documentation of paranormal occurrences at the site makes a compelling case. But\, if there are ghosts at the Whaley House\, who are they and why are they here? \nLocated at 2476 San Diego Avenue in historic Old Town San Diego\, the Whaley House stands today as a classic example of mid-nineteenth century Greek Revival architecture. Formally dedicated as a historic house museum on May 25\, 1960 and open to the public ever since\, it is one of southern California’s most popular visitor destinations. Over 100\,000 people visit the Whaley House annually\, with guests traveling from across the globe to experience this world-renowned museum. It is owned by the County of San Diego and since September of 2000 Save Our Heritage Organisation (SOHO) has managed and operated the property. SOHO\, a non-profit advocacy organization\, has lead the community as a powerful catalyst for historic preservation by raising awareness and appreciation of our region’s architectural and cultural heritage since 1969. “ \nhttp://whaleyhouse.org/
