31 Days of Halloween: Day 18, The Whaley House in San Diego

Welcome to Day 18 of our 31 days of Halloween journey. Today, we venture into the heart of Old Town San Diego to unravel the eerie tales enveloped within the historical Whaley House. With its forbidding atmosphere and a grim history tracing back to the mid-19th century, the Whaley House is a fascinating blend of San Diego’s early history and the supernatural.

Historical Background

Thomas Whaley, the owner and builder of this iconic house, commenced construction on May 6, 1856, on a piece of land that once housed San Diego’s public gallows. Unyielding to the property’s somber past, Thomas aspired to create the “handsomest, most comfortable and convenient place in town,” a vision that culminated in the majestic Greek Revival house known as the Whaley House. The house not only served as a residence but also hosted a general store, courthouse, and at one point, the Tanner Troupe Theatre, standing as a testament to the vibrant life led by the Whaley family amidst the burgeoning city of San Diego.

Haunting Tales

The spectral stories of Whaley House are as diverse as the roles it played in the early days of San Diego.

Yankee Jim’s Last Stand: The property was infamous for being the execution ground of Yankee Jim Robinson, a notorious horse thief. The grim aura of the execution site seeped into the foundations of the Whaley House, with many believing it was destined to be haunted even before its construction .

The Whaley Family’s Unfortunate Legacy: Tragic deaths and spiritual encounters have long been associated with the Whaley family. Thomas Whaley’s son, Thomas Jr., died at the tender age of 18 months from scarlet fever within the house. The footsteps, crying, and giggling of Baby Thomas have been reported by many visitors over the years.

Spectral Residents: Thomas, Anna, and other members of the Whaley family who lived and died in the house are believed to linger within its halls. Paranormal activities such as unexplained mists, lights turning on and off by themselves, and the swinging of crystals in the parlor room’s lamp have been reported by both visitors and paranormal investigators.

Exploring the Whaley House

The Whaley House offers a glimpse into San Diego’s past intertwined with ghostly phenomena. Guided tours provide an in-depth look into the history and hauntings associated with this historic landmark, allowing the brave to possibly encounter the spectral residents of the Whaley House.

Conclusion

As Day 18 of our Halloween series concludes, the Whaley House stands as a somber yet intriguing relic of San Diego’s past. Its walls hold tales of family, tragedy, and the supernatural, offering a hauntingly unique insight into the early days of San Diego. Venture into its halls, explore its haunted history, and perhaps, meet the ghosts of San Diego’s iconic Whaley House.

Gay Male Authors of Gay YA Novels

@owls-garden

I have not read all of these authors so I can’t vouch for quality, but here is a list of gay male authors* who have written at least one YA book with a gay male protagonist. I’m linking to their Amazon Author pages. I am sure there are more out there, but I haven’t been keeping up very well with the YA space. I have not read Heartstoppers, but I understand it is supposed to be a heartwarming coming-of-age love story? That is probably the dominant theme in the books these men write (although there are also coming-of-age with unrequited romance or no romance, dystopian thrillers, fantasy, and other genres in the mix.)

*to the best of my knowledge this is accurate

Adam Sass

Adam Silvera

Adib Khorram

Andrew Eliopulos (who does not have an author page even though Amazon has his book)

Whaley House

Officially recognized as the Most Haunted House in California by the U.S. Commerce Department, the Whaley House is a whistle-stop on most major tours of San Diego. This fact should not deter weirdists from making a pilgrimage; it reputation is well deserved. Every volunteer at the house has a story about swinging chandeliers, footfalls on the floor below or above them, smells of lavender perfume and burning tobacco, and seemingly solid, flesh-and-blood figures dressed in nineteenth-century clothes who walk around corners and disappear. The place claims at least seven apparitions, including a small terrier who will lick and hump your leg. The house may have been destined to be haunted, since it was built on the site of a macabre hanging.

Thomas Whaley was a New York businessman when in 1849 he decided to relocate to San Francisco to take advantage of the burgeoning gold rush economy. His retail store there was a hit but burned down in 1851, and Whaley decided to try the milder west, down south in sleepy San Diego. Again he was successful, which allowed him to return to New York to marry his childhood sweetheart, Anna. In 1855, they returned to San Diego and the new home Whaley had built for them on the land where the infamous hanging had occurred. A series of tragedies and triumphs (but mostly tragedies) followed, notably the death in 1888 of Whaley’s eldest and favored daughter, Anna, who shot herself in the chest, despondent over a failed marriage. Her father carried her from the backyard storage building (which is not the facility’s outhouse) to the rear bedroom, where she died in his arms. Inconsolable over the loss, he vowed to never live in the home again.

In 1890, after Thomas Whaley’s death at age fifty-seven, the family moved back in. The final Whaley descendant passed away there in 1953. Altogether, six family members died in the house, as well as a neighbor child who strangled herself by running into a low-slung clothesline.

The violent death that may have started all this was an example of quick and harsh frontier justice. “Yankee” Jim Robinson, a small-time criminal and would-be pirate, was caught stealing a rowboat in San Diego Bay. While Yankee Jim’s henchmen got only a year in the pokey, Robinson was hanged for his crime. At a time when the average man in the county stood above five feet five inches, Yankee Jim Robinso, at six feet four inches, was hanged from a gallows barely taller than he was. Instead of having his neck snapped instantly, the dastardly cur was left to twist and choke, nearly on his tiptoes, for almost forty-five minutes before he was pronounced dead.

Thomas Whaley knew about the hanging but didn’t believe in superstitious nonsense, yet over the years he and his family were obliged to change their views. Deborah (”No last names please”) has been a volunteer tour guide at Whaley House for about two years. In that time, she has probably seen the entire panoply of the spectral carnival, which isn’t guaranteed to the casual tourist. “I’ve heard a male voice clearing his throat when I’m in the dressing room changing into my costume,” she reports. Others who use the second-floor rooms to don their period costumes have experienced similar phenomena.

Thomas Whaley himself often materializes at the head of the stairs to the master bedroom. It is not uncommon for visitors to smell the smoke of his cigar or hear his baritone laughter echoing throughout the house. Thomas’s wife, Anna, is also known to make frequent appearances. She is described as a beautiful and graceful woman dressed in a gown of gingham; her flowery perfume and lilting her voice envelop the air and are followed by an eerie strains of a distant piano.

The house (or its permanent residents) apparently don’t tolerate skeptics well. “There was this man who didn’t believe in ghosts and was very vocal about it,” Deborah recalls. “He was a police chief and said he was an atheist and the whole thing. He was standing in the hallway talking to one of the volunteers and was suddenly hit square in the face with a puff of cigar smoke. The tour guide smelled it too.” Now a sudden convert, the chief made a mad dash for the door and stood panting on the front porch, only to be hit with another shot of the ghostly smell. The burly dude never returned.

We asked if anyone saw smoke or if there might be any explanation for the episode. “Well, there was the strange,” Deborah says. “There was no smoke, just the odor. We all smelled it.” Deborah left me alone on the second floor for about twenty minutes, and I did smell the famous lavender-scented perfume that legend dictates was Anna Whaley’s choice scent, but saw no movement, heard no voices, and felt no ghostly brush across my face, as other visitors have experienced.

One of the most macabre and recurring happenings in the place is connected to the Yankee Jim hanging. “I think he has a sense of humor,” Deborah observes. “Sometimes we get visitors coming up or down the stairs [the agreed location of the old gallows] who ended up with a red mark across their necks. It doesn’t hurt, and most people don’t even notice until someone points it out. One girl ran out of the house in a panic after her boyfriend noticed the thin red line.”

Like some sort of biorhythm from beyond, activity in the building appears in waves. There is no guaranteed creep show, but the ghosts and noises are reportedly most active in the holiday season, from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day. Phenomena have been reported at all times of the day and night. In addition to regular hours of operation, the Whaley House is open from nine p.m. to midnight for a special showing in the week preceding and up to All Hallow’s Eve. It is also open from seven to ten p.m. for nighttime tours in the summer.

𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝

Tʜᴇʀᴇ·ʟʟ ʙᴇ ᴘᴇᴀᴄᴇ ᴡʜᴇɴ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ᴅᴏɴᴇ.

THE BACKSTORY: A family connected by two bloodlines. A bloodline of hunters. A bloodline of witches. By nature, two enemies. It isn’t until centuries later, two individuals from the bloodline meet. They were suppose to be cursed, but that didn’t stop the two from marrying and having their seven children. They loved each other and their children more than life itself. Maybe you’ve heard of them. Ichabod Crane and Katrina Van Tassel. Maybe you’ve heard their story. The wrong one. And it all started in the quiet town of Sleepy Hollow.

1790′s - 45 years ago. Before the Crane’s were in Sleepy Hollow...

The Crane family discovered supernatural forces during the Revolutionary War. After a rumored and won attack by werewolves, that’s when their lifestyle started. The discovery of vampires, werewolves, witches, and more. They created an empire around them. Alliances, famous discoveries, an entire library over the past three centuries filled with writings of all the Cranes. The Cranes had truly being the first family to be known as supernatural hunters.

50 years ago, Ichabod Crane was born. Living in the town of Sleepy Hollow. As five years past, he finds himself a best friend in a local boy. Brom Bones. The Bones family ; another family of hunters. They were the ones who slayed the headless horseman in Sleepy Hollow centuries ago. Or, so the rumor goes. The Bones family was partially famous in Sleepy Hollow. Ichabod and Brom’s formed a friendship, until one day 45 years ago, that changed forever. When they both locked eyes on a new little girl in town. Katrina Van Tassel.

1790′s - 45 years ago. Before the Van Tassel’s were in Sleepy Hollow...

Before we can introduce the Van Tassel family, we must introduce the Whaley family. You’ll see why later. The Whaley family was a rich bloodline of gun salesmen. Oh, and supernatural hunters. They did not consider themselves hunters until the 1800’s. It was rumored a Crane saving them from an attack led to the loss of a loved one, which started a centuries old rivalry and their hunt of supernaturals. The Cranes would have mercy on the innocent supernatural beings. The Whaley’s had.. Different ways. Anything that God could have not possibly brought to their earth was slain. No questions asked. 95 years ago, Thomas Whaley was born. One of the best yet most ruthless hunters out there. But, that was what made him the best. He was ruthless. Birthing two sons and a daughter he could even careless for. Unless they were good hunters. 15 years later, a soft side in him is showed when he met a significantly younger woman named Anna. Anna Van Tassel.

The Van Tassel family stems from a long bloodline of witches, previously known as the Lovett Coven. The men are given a special ability if worthy. The women have a gift and magic flowing through their veins. Anna Van Tassel was a witch herself. She had run away from her coven for a fresh start. Or maybe an act of rebellion. That was the rumor. The truth was her coven was murdered and Anna the only one left. She would do anything to get out of her circumstances. Anna meets an older, richer man, who can do that for her. Thomas Whaley. What better way than to seduce one of the member’s of the famous Whaley family hunters? Their relationship developed quickly. Five years in, the twenty five year old Anna gave birth to her first daughter, Thomas’s fourth child, Katrina Whaley.

50 years ago, Katrina Van Tassel’s was born. Or should we say Katrina Whaley. The family was happy. Which only lasted five years. Thomas discovered where Anna came from. One night in her sleep, Thomas killed Anna. Suicide is what they rule it. The only hope to make his pride and joy Katrina Whaley pure away from that corrupted bloodline was to marry another legacy. Another hunter. Katrina would never be told of her witchcraft, not on Thomas’s watch. Her father moved east to Sleepy Hollow. Bright blues eyes were longing for a new start. Her new start begun that day. When she met Ichabod and Brom.

45 years - 30 years ago:

45 years ago, the three five years olds met and became the best of friends. None of the rivalry or history mattered to them. The three went off on their own. As they grew older, Brom began to fall for Katrina. It was her looks, her family richest, and the idea of the union of the Bones and Whaley family that struck his eye. Ichabod began to put a wedge in that.

35 years ago, the fifteen year old Ichabod and Katrina fell in love. It was clear as they grew older, Ichabod couldn’t live without Katrina. It was her heart, the way that she laughed with him, the moments they spent in silence. The rivalry between the Crane’s and The Whaley’s meant nothing to them. Katrina could trust Ichabod with anything. Even expressing to him she’s always known about her abilities. And always known the cause of her mother’s untimely death.

30 years ago, the twenty year old Ichabod and Katrina married. Brom Bones as the unwilling best man. The two were blinded by their love for one another. While one of three began to plot his own revenge.

25 years - 15 years ago:

25 years ago, they hadn’t heard from their good friend Brom in years. Ichabod and Katrina set their worries aside and began a family quickly. Four children were born, a fifth on the way. With Thomas’s untimely passing, they had inherited all of the Whaley and Van Tassel inheritance. They were set for life. Katrina put hunting beside her. Ichabod didn’t for a while until being begged by Katrina. They became just another rich family in Sleepy Hollow. And they lived happily ever after... Oh, how they wish that was true. But there was no happily ever after for them.

17 years ago, a new born baby that they claimed was there last. Some of their children had discovered their new powers. They were just another family who had a small secret to hide. One day seventeen years ago, there was a knock on the door. Oh, how Katrina wished she never opened it. To see the face of a beaten and bruised Brom Bones.

They urged him inside. There was something about him that was different. He begged Ichabod to help him. Claiming the headless horseman from centuries ago was back. Plotting revenge on all his family from what they did centuries ago. Brom was the last one standing. Despite Katrina’s disliking and gut feeling about this, Ichabod went into that fogging night with Brom. There was only one man who came back out of it. Brom Bones. Brom said Ichabod gave up his life to protect him from the headless horseman and he disappeared. But, it was all over now and Sleepy Hollow was safe again.

A year passed. Brom had been helping Katrina with the children. A strange soft spot began to grow from Brom. Katrina didn’t know if she was desperate as a hopeless widow in mourning. Katrina started a relationship with Brom.

15 years ago, it was only a year after her relationship with Brom started. Katrina got sick. As she grew sick, the witch’s eyes began to open. It felt like morning sickness. But, it wasn’t. It was like -- a reaction to a bad spell. Katrina had never been sick a day in her life. It was a mix of her magic and her built up immune system. It felt like a cold that was never going away. She hated how Brom was taking care of her all the time. Being more smothering than ever. There was something wrong. Whether it’s a change of heart or maybe she was cursed, she needed to know. One doomed late night, Katrina was walking into Brom’s office. There was a book. Stolen from Crane’s library, clearly. Locked up in a case. It looked like it had been there for centuries. With all her might, she cracked it open and began to read:

“A new discovery this week as we leave Sleepy Hollow. Many called him The Headless Horseman. The headless horseman was not a demon from hell like the townspeople thought, but a creature known as a Dullahan that was breed and born from this earth. A Dullahan, otherwise known as Gan Ceann, is known to be an embodiment the celtic god Crom Cruach. But, that isn’t true. They are a form of fae turned dark. Dullahan’s come from a bloodline of dark fae magic. They are similar to the more sinister witches I have encountered. They are magic users that walk and talk just like us. Horrifying beyond belief, their magic can sense death. When I encountered this entity, its head was in fact in it’s hand. It’s weakness was just that. Its head. Their powers are the strongest yet more vulnerable. I know this by setting the head aflame. It was only then I see that the burnt face was from a well known family here in Sleepy Hollow. I pray that this magic isn’t hereditary. There has been no proof of such. With a heavy heart, I gave the glory to the family whom this headless horseman was from. The Bones family. - Phinehas Crane, 6 October, 1795. ”

Katrina dropped the book. The thud of the book only to follow the sound of a door creaking behind her. Blue eyes water, looking up to the shadow made from the light in the hallway. It was Brom’s shadow. She could tell by the broad shoulders. But, there was something different. His fists were balled up. In his left hand, dangling a head where his should’ve been sitting.
