Location:
Jean Harlow's former home is located
in the quiet, upper class neighborhood near UCLA in Westwood.
This 1929, two story,
white stucco single family home was built back from the street on its
lot. A beautiful staircase connects the rear of the first floor with
the second floor. On the second floor, there are two bedrooms, and one
bathroom. A stairway in the middle of the house, connects the first
floor to the second floor. Downstairs, the living room is oblong in
shape, and leads into the dining room, kitchen and downstairs bathroom.
When the H family moved
into the home in the early 1970's, it was in sad shape, badly in need
of TLC. They decided to leave the basic structure as it was, but they
did make much needed repairs, and spruced the inside up, replacing carpet,
etc.
History of Manifestations:
Jean Harlow, when told by the
studio to move to a nicer area, rented this home in the early 1930's,
moving in with her parents, and lived there for about four years. When
she married Paul Bern, she continued to rent the house for her parents.
She married Paul Bern in this home's living room.
Her marriage to Paul Bern
was a disastrous move. On the second night after their honeymoon, Bern
beat her savagely in the home's downstairs bathroom, damaging her kidneys.
It is rumored that Bern was impotent or a latent homosexual. She later
showed her mother what he did to her. Harlow tried to make up with Paul,
but he rejected her. She was in the upstairs bedroom when she heard
the news that Bern had shot and killed himself at his home. She immediately
blamed herself and tried to take her own life by swallowing an overdose
of sleeping medication.
After being told to leave
this home by her parents, she built herself a new home, where she lived
for a few years before dying from her damaged kidneys.
Manifestations:
1) On the day before the H
family moved into the home, Mrs. H went upstairs, her dogs followed
her, growling and barking at something in the upstairs bedrooms. In
the hallway right outside the master bedroom, Mrs. H. felt an unseen
presence, and heard somebody softly whisper in her ear, "Please
help me."
2) On their first night
in their new home, Mr. and Mrs. H were lying in bed, when some unseen,
heavy object struck their bed three times. Some unseen presence wanted
to be noticed, or communicate with these nice people who had fixed up
the house, even though they were sleeping in her room. Mrs. H addressed
the unseen presence, saying "You're welcome - how do you do? We've
got to get some sleep.....we're very tired and need to get some sleep,
so please let us be."
3) The lights in the kitchen
would go on and off by themselves.
4) While walking through
the living room, Mrs. H saw a strange formless light, in an outline
form, floating above her near the ceiling.
5) In the corner of the
living room, near the mail box, Mrs. H and her Aunt had heard heavy,
heartbreaking sobs of a woman. The hairs on Mrs. H's arms stood up,
and she felt terribly sad.
6) Cold spots can be felt
in the kitchen, the downstairs area and the upstairs bedrooms. Unexplained
wind drafts have been felt throughout the house, especially in the kitchen
and upstairs bedrooms.
7) The strong smell of
a woman's perfume can be smelled in the children's bedroom upstairs.
8) Both Mr. and Mrs. H
were warned in a dream of a faulty, dangerous wall light in the upstairs
bathroom. Both saw a clear vision of the bathtub full of water and bubbles.
A hand from the bathtub switches on the light, receives a terrible shock,
and withers. Well, an electrician was called, who was horrified that
such an out-dated, dangerous light switch was in the bathroom, and promptly
put in a safe one.
9) Sometimes a weird, uneasy
feeling can overcome a person in the downstairs bathroom.
10) A light knocking at
the front door can be heard, but no one is ever there.
Still Haunted?
