The Royal Presidio Chapel

Many witnesses have seen a lighted candle float by itself in the sanctuary, up and down the aisles, and in front of the altar.

Some have come face-to-face with the apparition of a priest who served in the Royal Presidio Chapel in the 1920s until he died unexpectedly.

The bells have been known to toll in the middle of the night, without the help of the living. A group of teenagers who were talking at the nearby high school, heard the bells and went to investigate, finding no one there ringing them.

The Old Rectory Building

This two story building is next to the Royal Presidio Chapel and is the home to several entities, who do their best to look after the living, as they can’t bring themselves to let go of this world and pass on to the other side.

In one case, a woman who was up to her eyeballs in work was focusing diligently in one of the offices on the task at hand. She felt an unseen hand gently placed on her, as if to give her encouragement in her endeavors.

In another case, after getting back from an outing with a group of young people from the high school, an employee went to his office in the rectory to finish up some necessary paperwork. As he became engrossed with his work at his desk, his desk light suddenly turned itself off. He thought seriously about going home, but instead turned the light back on, determined to finish. Again, it turned itself off. Taking the hint from his unseen, concerned supervisor, he went home without delay.

Other unusual occurrences include: Footsteps from unseen entities have been heard, rocking chairs move by themselves, curtains are seen moving without the help of a breeze or the living, stairs creak,and unexplained rattling sounds are heard.
