Freshly Unearthed

The story of Kate Morgan is a fascinating blend of documented history and lingering legend. Her life and untimely death in 1892 are not just a window into the social dynamics of her time but also the foundation of one of Southern California’s most enduring ghost stories. At the Hotel del Coronado, where her tragic end occurred, the boundary between fact and folklore has blurred, transforming Kate Morgan into both a historical figure and a spectral icon. Let’s take a deep dive into this classic tale together.

Haunted places aren’t just about spine chilling stories or eerie encounters, they’re windows into the past. Every creak of a floorboard, every whisper in the dark, is a testament to the lives lived (and sometimes lost) within those walls. Ghost stories are not just tales of the supernatural; they are reflections of our history, our humanity, and our unending connection to those who came before us.

The Mark Twain House sits in Hartford, Connecticut, a tribute to literary genius and a place steeped in mystery. Built in 1874, this 25-room Gothic-style mansion holds an eerie charm, with every room whispering of the past. Louis C. Tiffany & Co. decorated its walls and ceilings, creating intricate designs that seem almost otherworldly. Twain loved ghost stories and shared his fascination often. In a letter to a minister, he once poured out his grief, writing:

“Our house… is become a cemetery. But not in a repellent sense. Our dead are welcome there… we shall have them with us always and there will be no parting.”

I love stories about ghost cats, and even keep a running list of places where you can find them in the U.S.. While going down various strange rabbit holes a few months ago I stumbled across the historic, haunted Buxton Inn, located in the quaint village of Granville, Ohio. Built in 1812, the Buxton Inn has a documented history of hauntings dating back to the 1930s. At least three human spirits reportedly linger there, along with a ghost cat. The cat plays such a key role in the inn’s history that its image has appeared on the sign since the 1970s.

Moroni Olsen never became a household name, but if you’ve ever seen Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, you know his voice. That deep, commanding tone that warned the Evil Queen, “Magic Mirror on the wall…”? That was him. But before Hollywood, before Broadway, before his voice became one of the most recognizable in animation history, he was just a kid from Ogden, Utah. I wouldn’t have known any of this either, had I not stumbled upon his grave at the Ogden City Cemetery.
