The Oddfellows Lodge

California · United States · Hotel

The drama club puts on a haunted house here every Halloween. The family who used to live in the building appear to object.

Every year the local drama club builds a haunted house in this lodge at Lemoore, California, and the accounts all come from the run up and the run itself.

The people working on it report figures in Victorian dress, cold spots, patches of extreme heat, and a hallway that behaves oddly.

The interpretation offered locally is that the family who used to live in the building do not care for the annual production.

That is a charming reading and it may be entirely wrong, but the timing is real: the reports cluster around the one week each year when the building is full of teenagers, dark, and rigged with effects.

Oddfellows lodges are worth knowing about. The order was a mutual aid society that buried its members, supported their widows and ran on elaborate ritual, and its halls were once in almost every American town.

The building is in use.
