The Entities of Colonel Frederick and Mrs. Bee and little son are still in residence.

They are still enjoying each other and the Mansion, which is now much grander than what they built.

A former cook for the Elks Club saw this solid, life-like couple dressed in Victorian attire enjoying the fresh air on a front porch swing for two. As the cook came up on the porch to go inside, she said, ‘Hello”, and the couple nodded back pleasantly. When she remembered that a swing hadn’t been on the porch in recent times, she realized that they were spirits and made a hasty retreat.

The couple’s two year old may also still be there as well, staying in a home that he loved.

A little boy has been seen playing in the house, and is suspected of being one of the mischievous children entities who like to turn water faucets on and off, and play with the lights as well. They perhaps like to move items around the mansion as well.

The Entity of Molly Bennett

Though she had a busy, positive life, she never got over the deaths of her infant daughter and her young son. She is the gentile hostess to the living. She has come down the central staircase, being seen or felt by the living.

In the time of the Sequoia Restaurant, owners Danica and Nello Olivo were meeting with staff in a first floor room above the bar, within view of the central staircase. While waiting for a staff member who was not quite up to snuff, to arrive, Danica saw a mist float down the stairs and go around the corner.

Molly has been seen by the proprietors in the flower shop. She likes to go into the flower shop where they put together wedding bouquets for upcoming ceremonies and receptions. She also probably enjoys watching these events..

One of the Elk Club’s officers, who did’t believe in spirits, had to go back to the mansion to get some papers he had left in his office on the second floor. No one was there except the house cat and himself. As he climbed the central staircase, he felt a cool breeze come down to his step, and felt a gentle cool hand touch his upper arm. The cat hissed and ran away. Needless to say, he became a believer in that moment and went about his quest without delay.

The Entity of Judge Marcus Bennett

The good Judge Bennett never quite got over the accidental death of Marcus Jr., his only son. He stays to mourn a little every day, perhaps not aware that Marcus Jr. is there and is still the little boy full of fun.

He likes to sit in the dining room chair and just stare out the window, dressed in Victorian clothing, sporting a beard. His presence has clearly been seen by others over the years, and has been identified by people who knew him when he first began appearing.

The Entity of the Nanny of Marcus Jr.

She still has guilt about young Marcus Jr.’s death, and paces the floors where the youngster still plays. Perhaps she tries to be his Nanny still since they are both spirits

It may be that she is the entity who tries to help brides get ready for their big days. She may be the one who likes to leave a rose for the bride-to-be.

The Entity of Marcus Jr.

This 3-4 year old died from a fall down the stairs. He must have been a handful for his nanny. Other sources claim that he died of a disease, but they could be confusing the two boys; The Bees’ little boy died of the croup.

Little Marcus is still a ball of fire, who perhaps plays with the two year old son of the Bees, teaching him how to be mischievous in this world. Even though the little Bee boy died years before Marcus Jr., children are open and could’ve found each other.

Besides playing with things like water faucets and lights, the little boys enjoy throwing glasses in the bar area. One time, the Bartender brought in a ball and bat, telling the unseen mischievous spirits to play with them instead. The ball and bat were moved all over the bar, sometime ending up in places where the bartender could trip over them. But, it was better than ducking flying glasses!

The Entity of the Female Cook/Kitchen Helper

A female cook, wearing a blue and white uniform from the Victorian Era, has been known to try to help in the kitchen.

A matronly cook who had arrived to prepare dinner for an Elks Club event, walked into the kitchen and found the usual Elks Club volunteer there, the wife of an Elks Member. Both women spied a seemingly normal woman dressed in an old-fashioned blue and white uniform busily working nearby in a corner. She must be a new volunteer.

Thinking she was a living person, the cook came toward her to welcome her to the team. As she approached her, she noticed there was nothing below the knees of this helper, and she was in fact floating in the air! The new helper faded into the air before their eyes.

Disciplining a guest

At a wedding and reception, a mother of the bride behaved badly, doing her best to cause a sour mood on the newly married couple’s day. A spirit got ahold of one of the lady’s expensive diamond earrings, and put it in the dishwasher.

Later, on her way out, she was pushed into the rose bushes and got all scratched up.

Helping a female staff member in Need

A female staff member was preparing to open the Sequoia Restaurant by herself. A seedy-looking drifter was standing on the driveway outside the front door. She tried to convince him to leave, saying they were not open. He hung around, thinking she was alone. Suddenly, music was turned on in the basement by unseen hands. The drifter fled, perhaps thinking that the female staff member was not alone after all. Spirits to the rescue!
