Vietlish encounters Haunted House in Garden Grove, OC.



BLOG SMALL TALK: By MARIA TRAN
Myself and Vietlish best buddy Joseph Hieu have had countless crazy adventures ever since our first meeting at 2008 Tet Festival, Sydney. But none has matched up to our up close and personal account with another kind from the third dimension since that night we set foot on the alleged haunted house in Orange County.

“Haunted?" you asked. What does that mean? And yes that was something we both would laugh at, nervously. I mean, there are many other things that we can discuss when Team Vietlish get together, like mc-ing, business ventures, random video clips, skits, script development, guerrilla tactics… Richard Branson…but ghosts, apparitions, supernatural, paranormal, poltergist?

Now, we have both returned home to Sydney and myself, I’m in the comfy space of my desk by the balcony window writing this reflective entry at the late hours of 11pm on a Saturday night. To some, this should be an unmentioned blog entry, but I do hope for others, we can appreciate what we've got on this planet and that we are still alive in the physical dimension.

The Case
There’s not much solid documentation about this case. In fact, we couldn’t find actual articles that retold the rumoured tragedy that spiralled a series of unfortunate events, unexplained mishaps and inconvenient deaths that is directly associated with this house.

But here are some of the stories that have been woven by the local residents who have known that area.

Story no. 1 – Hit-and-run of a female pedesterian.
The story goes that a woman was crossing the street on the corner of Eulcid Ave and Hazard St and was hit by a car, which then the driver took off, leaving her unattended. She was severely injured as a result and crawled across the street to the nearest house in seek of help. She reached the nearest house, tried to call out for help but nobody came to her aid. She was found dead at the front entrance of this house. She was also pregnant at that time.

Story no. 2 – Truck ploughs into the house
The story goes that an accident occurred resulting in the death of a family whom lived at the house while they were driving home to their house on the corner of Eulcid Ave and Hazard St.

So what has happened since the incident?
The house was sold over the years and was in possession of several owners, who've all complained about hearing errie noises and witnessing unexplained and uninviting events. All tenants moved out of the house and even till today, the house remains empty.

There was another death incident that occurred after the unexplained mishaps. The decision was to knock down the house, however during the construction of the current home, a worker fell from the roof to his untimely demise.

Other locals have noted that the presence have been known to affect other properties as well, the liquor store close by, other houses nearby that have drove tenants living near the vicinity of this house to move out.

Our experiences?
Well, you know me, I can’t resist living with my feline curiousity and my influential nature has always gotten the better of renown scaredy cat pal Joseph. So on Monday 5th Oct, 2009 (8pm) I narrowly convinced Joseph to drive to the local property for a quick check.

Joseph dropped me off two houses earlier to the property and I walked the way to have my first physical encounter of this unique house.

I have to say, the street was super dead quite, not a living sound just a strange thick humming above my head, which could have easily been reasoned by the overhead powerlines. The house itself, had its mouth wide open-a stainless steel gate that had an unwelcoming feel to it-and such magnificent bright lights were streaming out, both upstairs and downstairs and even through the garage. I casually strolled up to the front door, tempted to knock to find out who is occupying such a home, and to find out if it is necessary for them to waste such electrical resources without an obvious reason.
I did note that upstairs there was a shrine of worship of some sort, I couldn’t make out what it was. Jesus? Not certain.
The truth was, I kind of felt a little disappointed, the haunted house on Euclid Ave seem less scary as the local have yarned it out to be.
Meanwhile, chicken of the night, Joseph slowly rolled his car to past the house, and signaled me to quickly get into the car so we can make our grand escape from Deadsville.

That night while we slept at Saigon Inn, things didn’t seem quite right.

A couple of things happened. I had a few weird bouts of moments where I literally couldn’t move myself, an invisible strong pressure on my body forcing me on the bed. I broke free several times, but would lapse back into sleep only to undergo the same thing. At times, I recall whispers in my right ear. But in general, I come from a pretty rational background and I’d still attribute those accounts to fatigue, tiredness and lack of sleep.

Joseph, in the morning, reaccounted dreaming of a shadowy figure that stood over him. But again, he was sure of how to react – whether dream or not, so instead passed it over.

Our following nights ceased to be normal, we encounted strange unaccounted knocks, bathroom noises, plumbing issues such as water turning on and off and ever now and the our lamps would sway like if there was wind passing through room–when neither the window nor doors were open.

The final straw of coincidence is when we ate a late dinner at Pho Thanh Long – Bolsa Ave and during that time a strange old lady came straight to us, insisting that we buy a bunch of flowers. Joseph, proving his chivalry, did and the lady left with kind words of bidding us happiness. Her final errie suggestion was that this bouquet of flowers were appropriate for an alter. She quickly huddled away and I was left with a reasonable image of returning to the house, a tingling feeling down my spine and a question mark in my head.

I told Joseph what I felt, I even called upon the waiter to enquire about the flower seller and her relations with the resturant. He even noted (without a clue) that there was a strangeness about the woman and that she had seen something.

Everything began to urge me to visit the house again, at the wee hours of 2am. Joseph resisted. He said no repeatedly. We paid the bill and left the resturant. We decided to go on a walk and debate the issue further. Coincidences began to further emerge. Each time Joseph walked past a lamppost, the lights would turn off.

Luckily, our new found muso friend Tony T. Nguyen, called and we made arrangements so that he could join us to lessen the fear factor on Joseph’s part.

Joseph nervously drove to the property, I could tell that he was nervous. He was singing random Thuy Nga – Paris By Night songs in such a haphazard manner and at inconsistent volumes.

We stopped at the front and I jumped out. This time, the house looked very different. There were no lights and the gates were bound shut. There was a moment in my head when I wanted to jump the gate, but I didn’t. At 2am, I decided to rest the beautiful floral bouquet on the gate.

We jumped back into the car to confirm mission accomplished to the team. Joseph started the car. It didn't work. Joseph repeatedly attempted again and again. Nothing happened. 2am. Parked in front of an alleged ghost house in the middle of nowhere. Perfect horror movie scenario.

“Your gear is not in parked,” Tony commented.

Phew! No ghost business, just Joseph’s stupidity.

We visited the house in the morning to take a picture of it. No flowers. I hoped whoever (or whatever) took it appreciated our efforts.

So that’s the story behind Vietlish and our encounter of the house on Euclid Ave & Hazard St. I’d love to hear what you think. Any similar experiences out there? Any alternative explanations? Email maria.tran85@gmail.com.

  1. Very intresting, will make sure to watch out for that house next time I'm in OC. I've also heard that the lady was dying and was crawling towards the liquor store. And also that a friends friend drive past the house one night and saw someone standing at the front door, 2 hours later he drive past it again on his way home and the person was still standing there at around 2am.

    1. Well it's not possible for her to be hit near that house and crawl to the liquor store due to the fact that the liquor store is 1/4 of a block away

    2. The liquor store he is referring to is across the street, in that empty plot of land. Not the one 1/4 block away.

  3. This place sure reminded me of an experience I had indirectly, a pretty odd experience at an odd time... So I go to the temple that is RIGHT next to the used-to-be liquor store ground before it was demolished or torn down, and it was a normal afternoon when I went to the bathroom. The bathroom was located right next to the liquor ground, if you look past the wall dividing it, you would be able to see the two houses as well right across the street. Anywayss, I was in the restroom doing my thing~ and I heard monks chanting in the room that is next to it. The chanting just sound quite soothing so I decided to close my eyes while im doing business. When I opened it though.. a hangar that was hanging in the bathroom shook as if wind blew on it, but this bathroom had a door that I closed shut. Then the lights flickered once and I thought I would have to stay in there longer to start a new business! That's pretty much all my story has to it, your story however is pretty spooky! And really intersting~ O:

    1. Liquor store was closed down because there was too much violence in the area. By the way, the guy that fell off the roof while working on the house, survived.

  17. Guys.

    I have been living in a neighborhood that is two minutes away by car, roughly 8 minutes away by foot. That place is not haunted. In fact, it is owned by a very pleasant family who has a kid that attends my High School, La Quinta.

    I pass by it every day by the earliest of mornings (5am) and... by the 12pm. Nothing eerie, nothing wrong. There are toooo many stories that don't seem to make sense at all.

  18. I been living around this neighborhood most of my life. I remembered when i was 10 yrs old; which is 17 yrs ago. I came up to the house and ask for a permission if i can have some of the guavas that was grown in the backyard of the house. I knocked on the door, i waited pretty long until a black man opened the door. I asked him if i can have some guavas. He said "Yes, but you must leave immediately after you're done." I replied "sure, is this house haunted?" He then slammed the door at me and that is the reason why I remember to vividly. I can draw the original house if you want me to.. I remember there was a A-1 liquor across the street. Since the house was knocked down. A-1 business was going down hill. many people say the owner experience multiple activities going on after the house being knocked down. Think about it, A-1 liquor were doing so well because intermediate school is so near by. Students would go there in - out. I remembered i would have to wait in line to get into the liquor. the owner allowed 10 students at a time. A-1 liquir is no longer there. Now you can say the land is now available is haunted..... if you want to know more about it. you can email me Tammiedinh@yahoo.com

  19. You're fuckin' retarded. Really? A steel gate felt "unwelcome"? I've lived in the heart of Garden Grove for way to long to hear about this bullshit. You didn't even go in the house. All you did was knock and leave 5 minutes later and all of a sudden you felt someone pressuring you onto the bed, water turning on and off by itself? You completely took everything out of context to make it sound like it was the scariest shit of your life. "The gate was bound shut" and saying the houses lights were like a shrine? LOL. Some strong ass weed you were smokin' before your "ghost adventures".

  20. I used to live around this area and went to the elementary school back in 1993 and now I have moved back. It does bring back memories and I still remember the A-1 store and that shabby two story house that stands idle across of the A-1 store. There was a riot once at the A-1 store and I remember the noises coming from the streets that night. The store was boarded up couple years after and the house was took down. Passing by that house over the years of my childhood it was always odd and creepy to me as if it tries to catch peoples attention. There was a very creepy hotel complex I also remember that was near the elementary school on Newhope but now its a temple. That building I find it most disturbing because over the years it was never been in use that it was all boarded up and there was a particular window that was always open on the left side of the building that you can see the curtains hanging out from it. I sometimes wonder if someone was looking out from there. But I would recommend everyone not to come near those places where the decease still lingers that they will try to get your attention and follow you all the way home. :D

    1. Do you really? Because seriously the house was boarded up for a super long time as mentioned since I can recall back in 1984! It used to be white and the kitchen area n second story above it remains the same layout as it was prior to the remodeling. There were ghost hunters who did investigations there and the house was in fact on one of the shows like unsolved mysteries or haunted houses or something. After the few months of them filming n investigating, the house was empty with kitchen lights and upstairs light on in open window w curtains flowing. Years later after 1995, the house had a black family living there... my friends n i were appalled. They must be from out of state n unbeknownst to them, bought this home. They may have thought they got so much attention because they were black... but really, it was their home and it's mysterious history of being built on Indian graves, all the stories, etc... shortly after, they no longer lived there and the house had and for sale sign up and the same lights would be found on... kitchen n upstairs room w open window w curtains flowing out. Then it got remodeled. I've never seen a car on the driveway nor the usual kitchen/upstairs lights... i merely glance at the house now n dread getting stuck at a red light there at night. Still think it's not haunted? If that's so... what happened from 1985 til the time u moved in? U gotta wonder a little...

      As for A-1 liquor. There were times of the night where spirits would come purchase alcohol and pay and after the customers left, the money turned into "dead money". So the story goes.

  22. I went to school off of Mcfadden and Euclid in the early 90's, every day we would take the route from garden grove to santa ana. 2 houses always stood out on each side of Euclid/Hazard. I couldnt find pix of either. but know that the story told here was one I heard 20 yrs ago. the house in the photo is def not the same house when the tragedy occured. A picture of the Old house is what this story needs... it was creepy.

  23. The street between Ward and Euclid on hazard have alot of weird fuking activity. I usually pass this house 3 times a week at 3-4am. Man, I'm not afraid of ghost but damn. It's getting to the point where I'm taking Westminster street instead of hazard. Last thing I saw was a fuking car going 100 miles from a far distant then tail gating me to the hunted house. I chk my mirror to see whether it's a cop cuz I got pulled over recently for speeding. Anyway, while I was looking at the car, to see whether it was a cop or not, it js disappeared. There was no sign of it and no where the car can turn into other than the hunted house or the other new house beside it. Even if it turn off the headlight, I would still see it as the street isn't so dark at night. I've seen alot of other weird such as white doves in the middle of the street and shadows. And for the dude that claim it's his house and shit on the top post. GL bro!! Maybe ur house is ghost free, but the street in front of u isn't

  24. I got to a Vietnamese Youth group and we had camp one time. We went one day early and at night one of the instructors told us about the Hazard house. Apparently the house was buried on an old Indian burial ground and had been having supernatural activity for a while but the main thing that stood out was the woman. She was hit and died on at the house. They say if you it's night and there is absolutely no one on the street and you stop on a stop light right next to the house, YOU ABSOLUTELY DON"T STOP. My instructor said that when people do the light will take longer than usually and if you do stop, don't turn around or look anywhere but ahead.He said if you look towards the house you'll see a woman covered in blood crawl towards you and if you look in the back seat a family from the fire will be sitting there.

  25. This is a crock of shit. Sorry, I was born and raised in Westminster, CA. I know the streets of Little Saigon like the back of my hand. The house is creepy in it's original form, yea. But now that it's been rebuilt, there's a normal family living there and gatherings occurring during the holidays. Stop making up bullshit about some old lady selling flowers. She's been selling flowers since the fucking 1990's and she ain't broke either or anything of a medium. Her fucking kids graduated from pharmacy school and med school. Nothing creepy about the flower lady. I don't understand why some fucking people like you have to make up bullshit for? Why? Do you lack love and attention growing up? WTF? Seriously, you Viet cunt, why are you exaggerating shit for?

  26. OMG, are you all gone out of your head and cant judge for yourself if the any of these stories make any sense? come on ...it's started out with kids' from nearby school making up stuffs to scare one another but the house itself (both past and present ) has no history. From what I know, the homeowner have no problem living in there. However, by spreading out lies you are hurting innocent people and their property. Have you no heart? I'm sure this is somebody's dream house and maybe this is all their savings that they can afford to build something for their lives and thanks to the lies you're spreading, they probably can't enjoy the fruit of their labor and even feel like getting punished for the hard work. You should redeeem your guilt by telling everyone you know that this is a hoax , and it's the truth also. And you should leave them alone for them to start enjoying what they've been working so hard for. It's the right thing to do for a human being with a conscience .

  29. I worked there I did the walls, foundation, and clean up of the house and for the neighbors both houses were under construction at the same time.
    The owners are an old Vietnamese couple that live here and in Vietnam. That's probably why it's empty all the time. I don't think anyone crashed into the house cause I know it's the same wall I built.
    Someone might have died there but I didn't hear about it.
    And I don't think the liquor store was operating or even there while construction was going on.
    Cool story but a lot more on the BS side.

  30. First of all, that house is not in the middle of nowhere. It's located in Little Saigon, which I might say is not quite desolate as you made it. This house is not haunted; it is the land that is haunted. I’ve heard a variety of stories of tragic deaths, but what goes around town is that there are bodies buried in that lot, but who knows! There ARE people living there by the way and the street is not eerie whatsoever. When I was younger, around the age of four I remember my Dad driving by that house (when it was the old looking crack house with wood hammered to the windows) and upstairs, I saw a bright green glowing light. It did freak me out, but I was little so I had no clue what it was!

    ANOTHER THING, your weird dreams and dark shadows you and your buddy encountered…that my dear is SLEEP paralysis. Look it up. It’s the transitional state between wakefulness and sleep. It’s caused by disrupting your REM cycle of sleep. It causes you to hallucinate and you’re also unable to move. I get this all the time due to lack of sleep, stress, over working your body, etc.

    Get your facts straight before you try to make a story or else you’ll just sound dumb.

  33. When the house used to be, old, wrecked, boarded up I would always close my eyes everytime my parents drove by it. My sister always try to scare me by saying oOo if you look at the window you could see the lady!! Idk if it's haunted or not doesn't matter. But those scary teasing were good times.

  37. Maria Tran... You are a dumb ass bitch for writing this story and made up the experience with the house! I know this place well, I have friends living in the neighborhood, the story was thoroughly investigated by many. That god damn house you took picture of is a newly build house with people living in it you dumb ass! People still live there now, the old haunted house was torn down long before your stupid ass show up and made up this story! You said you went inside, why didnt you take any picture? Because this house you took picture of is brand new, well maintained and the house you describe is an abandoned one you retard. You slept at Saigon Inn and got haunt by spirit because your dumb ass didn't do your god damn research right, that Saigon Inn you're sleeping in is actually haunted too stupid ass! No damn ghost will follow you back to your inn and haunt you, they are bound to the destination they are at, you just watch too many damn horror movies! Thanh Long Restaurant is a well known place, that flower woman is known by many local people as she show up to many places and restaurant, dont make up stories about people if it didnt happen you turd. You can't spell the street right, you probably never been there, just made up bunch of shits to trick your none local readers! Such a despicable act as a person, and you attempt to go into acting, lame ass bitch, lame ass acting and lame ass made up story!

  38. Back in High School, in 1998 when the old boarded up house used to occupied the property. Myself and 4 other friends decided to investigate the house to see if it was haunted. In 1998 the property was fenced up and in the middle of the property was just an old pink or peach colored house with majority of the windows boarded up. One day in 1998 we decided scope out the property during to day to figure out how we are going enter through the fence and into the house at night. I remember it like yesterday. My friend dropped us off right before the haunted property began on Hazard in the day time and almost instantly we found a way through the fence. There was a opening from where the fence began. We jumped back in the car and made a couple passes around the house to get a better picture of the house. 10-11 pm the same day. We returned to the property. At that time of the night there is not much cars on the road on Euclid and Hazard so we just park right on Hazard where the fence entrance was. Five of us had flashlights so we checked them before we got out, all five flashlights worked. Not wanting to attract unwanted attention we decided to turn off our flashlights until we get into the house. All five of us entered through the fence one at a time. We walked in a single file line to the front porch. I was the #2 guy. When we approach the front porch, I whisper to my friend the #1 guy, "I don't remember the front door being opened during the day time." My friend said, "We made it this far don't wussy out." We got to the front door, but not in the house. At this point I'm getting goose bumps and the cold chills running down my spine. All five of us stood at the front door. With our flashlight still off, the only light source was the orange street light that were on on Euclid. This was what I saw at the front door. The front door opened inward and swung to the right, a toilet blocking the entrance to a room on the left, and straight ahead was the stairs leading upstairs. We all decided to turn on our flashlight before entering. All of us flick the flashlight to on, and none of our flashlight turned on. Then we heard wood crackling upstairs and at the top of the stairs a soft white light started to flicker on. All five of us booked it and ran towards the car. Once in the car my friend the driver hooked a right onto Euclid, the weirdness did not end there. Once we cleared the property on Euclid all of our flashlight turned on. We got freaked out and toss all the flashlights out the window. That night I didn't sleep much. Like the author, there were episodes throughout the night where I was restrained to my bed where I could not move. My friend also had the same experience throughout the night as well. We did not stepped in the house and all this weird stuff was happening to us. I was not a believer of the supernatural before that day in 1998, but now I'm a believer.

    1. The older house belonged to a lady named Mary, she was my grandma's friend. We lived right across the street at 805 N. Euclid at my Grandma's house, when she's lived there since the 1930's. I've been in Mary's house when she was alive in the 80's lol Her husband passed some time before that though so she was alone, but I remember it was dark and smelled like old lady. I forgot when she passed away but they did fence the house off.

  39. use to live in area and snuck into this house at night when it was abandoned because of all the ghost stories associated with the house. we got in through a hole in the fence and hung around the house. we lit a joint and waited for paranormal activity...an hour later we heard a creek, but it didn't happen again when we tried to investigate. so we lit another joint and wait for more signs of paranormal activity. this went until we blazed through 6 joints and noticed the sun starting to come up. needless to say, only thing close to ghosts in that house that night was the smoke coming from our lungs. we then headed to dennys', where we encountered an evil waitress. moral of the story...YOUR SHIT IS WEAK!

  42. You are awesome for trying. I lived in OC for a long time and never got as close as you. I heard about this story way back before it was even a house. My version is a house before this was demolished because even a monk was hired to drive the ghosts out was himself driven out. I seen the empty lot is was before and was surprised to see a house built there. Thanks to your experience, I see that this is quite the impressive urban story.

  43. Ive lived here on Hazard and Euclid for roughly 10 years. Unfortunately these tragic events happen to careless people and bad timing. I've also stayed at the Saigon inn on Brookhurst and their plumbing drains do make noise. Still doesn't explain the water turning on and off though. Once you make up your mind something is haunted your mind runs with it...

  44. When I was in high school which was like a back in 2009. I heard stories about this house and the liquor store across from it. But I HEARD THE HOUSE DOWN THE STREET IS MORE CREEPIER THAN THIS HOUSE. I dont know which house or where it's location but the house down the street was more creepier from what i heard.

  46. I have heard many stories about this house. I know this guy name Tran. He lived in an apartment next to this house. He was bulky and in the Marine Corp. He was proces Kevin sed by a female spirit. How do I know that spirit was a female? Kevin was a drinker. His family often drink on Friday night. Roughly about mid-night, after several beers, he started to talk funny. He went to his mom room and put on his mom dress. He started to dance like a lady. At first, his mom thought this was cute. But then he said he was from the house next door and wanted to go home. His friends started to put this on the video. This happened about 15 minutes then he past out. He slept until noon. His mom asked if he was gay. He thought he mom was abnormal. They had little chat and confrontation. He told his mom that he was drunk last night and didn't remember anything. She showed him the video that his friends recorded. He couldn't see himself in the dress and acted so feminine. He confirmed that was NOT. One, he was embarrassed. Two, his mom afraid that might happen again. All of his family moved to Long Beach. From time to time I teased him of a cross dresser. He said that was freaked him out. I lost his contact after he was deployed to Afghanistan.

  47. The "haunted" house existed back in the 90's-2003-ish. So if you're referencing the house after that time frame, of course you won't see anything wrong with the house. Vietnamese people believe that if you knock down a haunted house, you knock down the spirits within it. However, if you don't pray, "cung," and light incense, and state that you want the spirit to leave the house alone, then it's useless. Back in 2003, I drove my friend by this street around 7pm looking for the guy selling Mexican corn. She looked at the house and looked away because she got afraid. Well, that night and everynight after that, a ghost keep sitting on her and taunting her with scary noises. No it is not sleep paralysis. It's been said that if the ghost/spirit is compatible with your personality, then he/she will follow you. Her mom had to invite her Uncle who was also a monk from San Diego to help get rid of the ghost spirit. The spirit is a very strong one compared to the others that he had encountered. But with negotiations and sacrifices, the spirit agreed to leave her alone after a few weeks. She had to wear a blessed necklace, a blessed photo and charm over her bed, as well as one in her car.

  49. I remember the house before it was remodeled. I heard it was haunted but can't remember who told me.I used to drive my children to piano lessons there and would drive by it every week. Every time, I drive by there, I would glance up to see if I can see anyone in the window or maybe feel something weird, but I never did. I have moved away from Garden Grove and seldom come by that corner, but I was there a couple of days ago and I found myself looking at it again....waiting for something to show itself to me....

  50. I think you got the wrong house. The haunted house is across from the liquor store. It was an abandoned house for years. I heard a bunch of vagrants stormed out of the house in the middle of the night screaming, after spending a night there. Something obviously frightened them. Around 2003 they demolished the house and it remains an empty lot.

  51. I think you all must be talking about the house that was there before. I've lived across the street for 33 years and my mom has lived there for 66 years and my grandma for 75 years. My grandma's house was the first house built on the block. The original "haunted house"you are talking about belonged to my grandma's friend, Maria, i called her Mary. I've been in her house, it was big, old and painted white. The house in the photos is fairly new, i see the people living there, they have parties sometimes.

  54. This land shouldn't be built for houses. To drive away entities from this place, it's best to build a whore house. With all the violent moaning and shaking day and night, it will surely drive whatever that is haunting the place away.

  59. I don't know what's going on with that previous "old" house. One thing I know for sure is that the house had been vacant for many years since the mid 80's. Eventually, the house was demolished. Few years after that the property was divided into 2 lots and two houses were built in 2005. There was a story about the mother, who lived in one of the houses, tried to kill her two children. You can search "The Demon-Haunted House Of Thuy Le"; The Orange County Register also reported on the incident - just for your curiosity. Peace.

  62. An update to this story.

    A reporter from the Nguoi Viet News in Westminster California has been investigating this house in the past several weeks. The investigation is still on-going as of today they are trying to locate the owner of that house and the owner of the A-1 Liquor store. They have interviewed the employees of A-1 Liquor store and what they found was that on the last night before the owner closed down his shop was due to an horrifying incident that made him closed his business.

    The story goes as he (the owner) was closing his shop and walking out to his car upon noticing a woman walking up to him. When he saw her face it was full of blood and she spotted a mouth of blood in his face. He then sees the woman opening her mouth and revealing her true identity. A demon.

    Even the news report of Nguoi Viet had an personal encountered himself within 3 weeks ago approximately 8/15/2018 at 5PM when he visited the property to go inside the house. The house is currently being listed for sale as of right now and he since contacted the Realtor to set up an appointed to see the property. The realtor showed up a bit late and the news reporter started walking around the property looking around. As he walked back out to the driveway where he parked his car it has somehow vanished into thin air. He said that there was no way his car could have been stolen since he would have heard it standing no less than 50 feet from it.

    The news reporter called up his son to bring his car information to him so he could filed a police report on his supposedly stolen car. As he was waiting and talking on his phone while continued to walk around the property within 30 minutes his car has someone reappeared on the driveway. This incident happened within an hour when he visited the property at about 5PM.

    As of my personal experienced I have seen a woman about that is approximately 5'9 in height wearing a dark color dress standing and walking in circles on the corner of Hazard Street and Euclid Avenue in the late midnight hours when I was driving home from work. I have noticed this woman in the last several years and as of recently I have still seen this woman just a couple months ago. It's the same woman I have seen over the last several years. Being a paramedic I was wondering myself why wouldn't anyone call the police and give this some professional help since she looked like she is mentally ill standing in the middle of the night on a deserted street walking in circles. Literally she's right on the corner where the A-1 Liquor store used to be. I could never get a look at her face since she was always looking down with hair covering her face and the lights were always green when I drove by.

    I have even called Santa Ana Police Department and Garden Grove Police Department's in regards to this woman. As an EMS I'm worried for this woman and I wanted to know if anyone has called in reporting about her. Again her description is approximately 5'9 in height, Hispanic, dark color dress, head looking down and is seen walking in circles on the corner of Euclid and Hazard where the A-1 Liquor used to be and there isn't any lamp posts on that corner. It's dark. From what I can say is that this woman looked like a actual person with meat and skin not a misty ghost figure. I honestly had no idea she could possibly be a ghost of the woman who was murdered by a hit-and-run driver a couple decades ago.

  64. The story cracks me up. My grandmother owned that house and lived there until she passed away, which wasn’t at the house or some freak accident. But after a couple years the house was torn down and a new house was built on the lot but while my grandmother owned it and lived there nothing weird ever happened. I lived there until I was about four, in the old house, the old house is one of the best parts of my childhood-no ghosts. I think it was torn down in 88

  65. Back in the early 1990s, around 1992, my uncle would cruise around Westminster with me in the passenger seat. Every single time he drove past that house on Euclid/Hazard, he would tell me, "Look, there's that haunted house!"

    During those years when I was a little girl, the house was a tattered white farm house, and it was rundown. I didn't believe him and he would say, "Don't you see that cross hanging in the tree?" Sure enough, there was a large white cross that was hanging in the tree. There was a small tree in front of the house and the cross was dangling upside-down from the branches. I guess the wind blew it and it fell? But the house looked completely abandoned.

    Fast-forward to 1998, I'm now driving around Westminster with my friends and the same house with the little tree and cross were still there, and the house was STILL abandoned. Year after year, the house was never occupied every time I drove past it. I used to come to the strawberry farm across the street every single year to buy fresh grown strawberries, and the house was never occupied.

    One year, in the early 2000's, somebody did finally tear down that house to rebuild it into a more modern home. But the kitchen windows remained open and lights were on, and it didn't look like anybody lived in it. I drove by that house often, up until 2010, and the house was always empty. No residents, no occupants

  66. Lol. Still funny reading these stories. My great grandma owned the property (the old house). Had so much fun there as kids. After she passed away-not in the house by the way, city bought the property, tore it down and probably subdivided the property to make more mowny.

  67. You have no encounter at all. Not anyone can encounter with a spirit that cannot cross over. Only those that can help them cross over, and those that contributes causes the result of their dead.

  68. The real story to this house.... If your the owner or related to the person that own that property at that time of that girls death you should know what I'm talking about.
    She was crossing the street between 10pm-11pm. She got hit by some asshole that wasn't paying attention. Maybe he was drunk maybe he wasn't whose to say. But that fucker flee leaving her fighting for her life. With what ever strength she have left she crawled to that house which was the nearest place she thought she would find help at.
    She barely have strength to even knock. The only strength she have left was to scratch on the bottom of the door and trying to yell for help.
    A lady open the door and look down at her and without any hesitation closed the door on her, didn't even bother to ask her if she needed help, that lady did nothing.
    So that girl died in front of the door step with her hand still on the door.
