Paranormal Activity Coulterville Cemetery 
Room 20
Took the carpet up off the floor in room 20 and it revealed blood spatter thoughout the room. There was nothing on the carpet (which must have been there for decades by the look of it). This is the same room pictured below.
Room 22
This picture was taken by Tony, owner of "Coolterville T-shirts" who was trying to get a picture of room. 22 for shirts he's making for the hotel "I survived room 22". When he looked at the pictures he took, he saw this image which moved from picture to picture from room 21 over to 20. This is not his shadow and there was no one else on the floor. This was shot with a flash.
Room 6
Not as famous as Room 22, but the activity in this room has steadily increased over the past few months of our restoration. One of Forrest's brothers (he doesn't want to be named) spent the night in room 6 with his dog and awoke when his dog started frantically barking. He felt a burn on his face and in the morning he looked like he had been punched on the side of his face.
Another night two other family members spent the night there and one of them claimed to have heard voices "right next to me". He won't come back.
Other guests prior to our arrival, have claimed to have heard people running down the hall.
Room 8
Shortly after we arrived full time our cats started acting strange. We had been staying in room 8 while our apartment was being redone along the side of the hotel and the cats where living there as well. One night all three of them, in unison, turned toward the far corner of the room, their fur was upright and they all started growling (not your typical feline behavior). It also didn't help that I was alone in the hotel that night! Usually at least once every other night, before they were moved to the apartment, they would do the same thing, although not quite so dramatically.
Room 1
We had the pleasure of meeting a very special guest in January 2012, Robert Hanna, the great grandson of John Muir who stayed in Room 1, which is the same room that Teddy Roosevelt stayed in. Early the next morning he told us of having a very pleasant nights sleep except for the children who ran up and down the hallway earlier on. We then explained to him that there were no children staying that night and that there were only 2 other occupants. It has been reported throughout the years of guests hearing children playing in the hallway of the second floor.
Other Stories
I have spent at least 15 years investigating the unexplained and am constantly looking for logical solutions as to why something happens. Being a researcher and traveling with other journalists, we like to believe we’re a level headed bunch, and we try our best to find logic in situations. That said, I’ve visited some of the “haunted” places in California and have shared and corroborated anomalies with other writers in several spots considered haunted. What surprises me most is that I come with bias against the ghost hypothesis, but then something strange happens that I can’t explain.
The beauty of Coulterville and the historic Hotel Jeffery make a stay at the hotel one of the best opportunities in California to step back in time and feel what it must have been like to live 150 years ago.
Perhaps the ghosts are telling us they didn’t have all the fancy stuff like electricity, air conditioning, vacuum cleaners, wi-fi and other modern conveniences that have been added to the hotel. It is just a thought.

I stayed at Jeffery Hotel last night as part of CCPI
My room was #22 at the end of the hall on the third floor
I went back up to my room go get something - came out and head down the hall - there was no one in sight - suddenly there was was a woman next next to me headed in the opposite direction - this was just above the back staircase - I turned around and she was gone…..

I’ve stayed at the Hotel Jeffery and I had a something strange happen. There’s this decorated, fancy dining area off to the left of the lobby as you enter the hotel. I never ate in there. I had dinner in the saloon. But I wandered around the room to look at the antiques. There’s one big piece with a mirror that I studied. Maybe I’m crazy but I swear I saw the face of young woman looking back at me. I turned around to see who was there. It was totally empty and I was all alone.

Today’s post is shared by Dennis Byron, a friend of mine and a Broker (and Realtor) of Byron & Associates in Los Gatos, CA. Over coffee last week, he shared this story with several local agent friends and he kindly agreed to retelling it for my readers here.
In the early eighties I owned, with investors, the Jeffery Hotel, the
Magnolia Saloon and most of the other buildings in Coulterville, California.
The Hotel and Restaurant had been closed for years. I was working on
remodeling the hotel at the time and the restaurant was to be the last of
the items I was going to work on. It still had the chairs and table in the room just as it was after Ed Sacket, the former owner, died. He had owned
it since the 40′s.

I had stayed over in the hotel with one of my investors named Jim. I had
just come down stairs and was walking around the porch, which circles the building, enjoying the morning air, when I saw Jim standing by the front door of the restaurant. He did a double take and asked “How did you get out here?” I replied, “what do you mean?” Jim informed me that he saw a man sitting in the restaurant and assumed it was me. I told him that I hadn’t been in the restaurant in days. He insisted that he had seen someone sitting in there. We went into the bar, where a picture of Ed Sacket hung and Jim said that’s the guy he saw in the restaurant.
Of course it couldn’t have been, since Ed had been dead for years….or could it have been?
Coulterville is the real deal. I had a small experience that I can’t explain. I was trying to be so quiet when I set up my electric espresso machine in my room to make a cup of strong coffee before everyone woke up one morning. I was really careful not to set off the smoke alarm or wake up the dead with my steam machine that tends to make a loud whirring noise. As I tiptoed over to the dresser to start it up, I heard a “thump”. My backpack square in the center of my bed somehow moved from the middle (while I was walking) and landed on the floor. I can’t explain it and don’t know why it would happen. There was no earthquake, or anything else going on that would make this little black leather bag jump off the middle of the bed. Odd things happen, for sure, but they happen more frequently in Hotel Jeffery, according to the owners, who could go on for hours about sharing space with ghosts in a 158 year-old place built in 1851.
If you want a totally cool experience in a little ghost town right out of the pages of a book, visit Coulterville and stay at Hotel Jeffrey.
Coulterville
~The Hotel Jeffrey is said to be haunted by a man in his fifties who walks the halls, and a woman in her thirties who wears a long grey skirt and a puffy-sleeved blouse. She likes to hang out in the restaurant. There is also a miner who haunts Room 22 and possibly at the bar. According to the waitress at the bar, the ghosts like to rearrange the table settings and put the fresh towels down the center of the beds instead of on top of the dresser, where they belong. None of the ghosts constitute a threat, and the staff seems to be at ease with them. An interesting side-note: One of the ghosts likes to rock in the rocking chair, and leaves a warm sensation on the seat when she or he gets up.
