The Rispin Mansion in Capitola is described as haunted by reports of unexplained phenomena, including glowing orbs, shadowy figures, sudden cold spots, and phantom footsteps or whispers. Visitors and locals have reported unsettling feelings, and the property has a history tied to a broken financier and a convent, further contributing to its eerie reputation. Some have seen glowing orbs and shadowy figures, while others have reported seeing a woman violently kicked down the stairs. Whispers, murmurs, distant footsteps, and even hollow, unsettling laughter have been heard. Visitors report an overwhelming sense of unease, sudden temperature drops, and the feeling of an unseen presence. War veterans who stayed at the mansion reportedly woke up outside with their belongings packed, without remembering how they got there. Built by millionaire Henry Allen Rispin in 1921, he lost his fortune during the Great Depression and died penniless. After Rispin's foreclosure, a Catholic order used the mansion as a convent until 1957. The mansion is associated with a tragic past and rumors of a curse, fueled by its abandoned state and the events surrounding Rispin's financial ruin.
