The Mission Inn, Riverside — a full city block of Frank Miller's mission fantasy, National Historic Landmark, ten presidents through the door. Local tradition puts Frank and his sister Alice on the fourth floor. The hotel does not sell ghost tours, which is worth noting. #California #MissionInn

Point Sur Lighthouse, Big Sur: lit 1889, last keeper out in 1974, state park since 2004. The volunteers who keep it run ghost tours before Halloween and put their own sightings on the record with KQED — a woman in turn-of-the-century dress on the stair landing, a face at the living-room window. #California #lighthouse
