According to the Los Angeles Times, prior to Meloni buying the house, it had been bought and sold three times – each seller subsequently believed the home was haunted.

According to the Times, “Ozzie Nelson’s model train, which runs on a track near the ceiling in the pub room and has been passed down from owner to owner, sometimes starts running in the middle of the night.” Other examples of paranormal activity include locked doors that mysteriously unlock and open, covers that fly off people while sleeping and the smell of a rose-scented perfume that wafts through rooms without explanation. “I would always make a disclosure that there was a legend that the house was haunted,” realtor Billy Rose told the Times.
