One of Glendora's first homes, originally built in 1886.


A séance was held in this home at 530 N. Wabash Ave

Building, Window, House, Plant

This vintage home tells tales of murder and violence. One of the owners of this home had extensive remodeling done. Inside the living room wall, human bones and a rusted gun were discovered.  

Later, owners experienced things flying through the air and even saw images. It was at this time that a prominent university, specializing in parapsychology, was contacted and instruments were set up inside the house to record the disturbances.  

A medium held a seance and contact was made with the three unsettled spirits, which was tape recorded. According to the voices on the tape they were a brother and sister with the third person being a male. Supposedly, the man had violated the sister and was killed by the brother. He then sealed the body and the murder weapon inside the wall. After the seance there were no more disturbances in the house.  

In 1985, an in-depth interview was done with Mario and Jane Rosso, former owners of the house at 530 N. Wabash Avenue. The Rossos were responsible for bringing in the medium and had the tape in their possession at the time of the interview. However, their whereabouts at the present time is unknown.
