The Glen Tavern Inn is a historic 1911 Arts and Crafts hotel in Santa Paula, California, that was once a popular getaway for early Hollywood stars during the silent film era. The hotel's haunted reputation centers on Room 307, where guests have reported waking to the sensation of being watched, hearing children's laughter in the hallway when no children are present, and feeling the bed depress as if someone has sat down on it. The most frequently reported apparition is a young boy who appears in the second-floor corridor, dressed in early 20th-century clothing, who vanishes when guests attempt to approach him. Staff have also reported a woman in a white gown on the third floor, and the sound of a party — music, laughter, clinking glasses — coming from the ballroom when it is empty and locked.
The hotel's connection to early Hollywood has led to speculation that some of the spirits may be those of actors and actresses from the golden age of silent film. The Glen Tavern has been featured on several paranormal investigation shows, and the inn embraces its haunted reputation, offering ghost packages to adventurous guests.
