The Benicia Ghost Walk

November 18, 2024 3:24 PM | Anonymous

On Friday, October 18th, the Benicia Historical Society and the Benicia Capitol Speakers Toastmasters Ghost Walk hosted a ghost walk on First St. that was a smashing success! We sold out all 50 tickets! The event started at the Historic Train Depot at the end of First St. The first group was led by Toastmaster Frank Borges and the second group was led by Toastmaster Jeff Wood. The first stop was with the ghost of Jack London where Toastmaster Larry J. Miller told different stories about Jack London. The next stop was the Sailor Jack’s (now Captain Blyther's) restaurant where Toastmaster Saeed Hamzavi told everyone about the ghosts of the restaurant. The next stop was the Union Hotel where Toastmaster Jay Ligda told everyone about a love story/ghost story. The next stop was the Fischer-Hanlon House where Toastmaster Stacey Duckett talked about the many ghost stories of the house. The last stop was The Company of Wolves café (where Computer 1 and the State Farm Insurance company are now). Toastmasters Pat Purvis and Alison Harris-Abbott told the story of a ghost that is still hanging around because he was shot in the back there. Everyone had a great time and we had a lot of great feedback!
