The Irwin Street Inn in Hanford, California, is rumored to be haunted by several ghosts, including a woman, a little girl, and a little boy. Reports of paranormal activity range from hearing footsteps to seeing apparitions and feeling a general sense of dread. Some guests and staff have heard people walking up the stairs late at night when no one is there. Ricardo Lara-Saiz, a former employee, reported seeing apparitions of both a man and a woman. Lara-Saiz also described seeing a disembodied face illuminating his nightstand. Some visitors have described feeling a "dark feeling of dread" in certain areas of the inn. There are stories of guests capturing photos of a lady in a Victorian dress inside the building. The main house of the Irwin Street Inn was originally built in 1886, making it a historically rich location with over a century of history before it became the hotel and restaurant it is today. This long history is often linked to the ghost stories, as the spirits are believed to be former occupants of the home. The inn has been the subject of ghost stories since it opened as a restaurant and hotel in the 1980s.
