Location Description:
The Stevenson House is a museum in the Monterey State Park. It is a former boarding house which is now named in honor of its most famous boarder, Robert Louis Stevenson. In 1879 there was a typhoid epidemic in which Manuela Girardin, owner of the house, lost her husband. In early December of that year Mrs. Girirdin`s two grandchildren came down with the dread disease and she steadfastly cared for them around the clock. Unfortunately, by doing so, Manuela herself caught typhoid and died on December 21st. Ironically, she died before seeing that her grandchildren recovered from their illness. During the first three weeks of December there are many ghostly manifestations reported in the nursery room. The curator has described them as: an empty rocking chair will start rocking, some visitors smell a strong scent of disinfectant (as found in sickrooms or hospitals) and a woman dressed in black has been seen by many.
