About the Photo:
Owens snapped this photo at the Banning House Lodge, located at Two Harbors on Santa Catalina Island. He named it “The Haunted Stairs” and the the overall theme is loosely based on the relationship struggles within the Banning family, who owned the island until 1919. Part of the family stayed at the house when visiting the island.
Although over a hundred years have passed since then, folks still say that the Banning House Lodge is haunted. Yet few people bothered to investigate there, that is, until Owens and his crew arrived. You can read about what happened in his book HAUNTED BY HISTORY VOL. 1: SEPARATING THE FACTS AND LEGENDS OF EIGHT HISTORIC HOTELS AND INNS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
Why did Owens stage elaborate photos in haunted hotels? Simple. He feels that renting an entire location for three-four days to conduct a multi day photo shoot/paranormal investigation is the best way to test haunted claims.
So did he and his crew encounter any ghosts at the Banning House Lodge? Maybe. Maybe not. All the info is in the book…plus a recap of documented deaths on that part of the island as well as the Banning House Lodge’s surprisingly rich Old Hollywood history.
