Haunted Hollywood: Lucille Ball

Tweet

It is no secret that Lucille Ball is one of my favorite actresses. I have probably seen every episode of I Love Lucy and The Lucy Show that ever aired. I have seen her living room set from the television show and have read several books on her and her life. So it really shouldn't come as a surprise that I am interested in the possibility of her being active after death as well. Now I am not exactly sure where I stand on the whole spirits, afterlife, ghosts etc- but regardless of how I feel these stories, sightings and experiences are fun to read and learn about. Lucille Ball died on April 26th 1989, at the time of her death she was living in a house she purchased while still married to Desi Arnaz in 1954. The house was located at 1000 N Roxbury Drive. There have been many reports of various things that could be attributed to hauntings, or ghosts. There have been sounds coming from the attic, furniture being moved and broken windows. While those things could be attributed to other hauntings other than Lucille Ball there was an occurrence after Ball's death that is attributed to the comedienne herself. After Lucille Ball died, her husband Gary Morton sold the house. The new owners started demolishing the house when a fried of Lucille decided to drive by to see it one more time before it was gone. They construction crew had started demolishing the house and were tearing the walls down of what used to be Lucille's bedroom. The friend saw a redhead peering through the fence looking at the partially demolished room looking hurt, angry and confused. The figure turned and looked in the drivers direction and he saw that it was Lucy. She then walked around the corner of the house and vanished. There have also been A lot of people have speculated that Lucy hangs around the grounds where her former house once stood because she is upset that the house she had lived in for so long was demolished. Offers to rid the currently standing house of the spirit of the beloved comedienne have been declined by the current homeowners. They say if it is her ghost and she wishes to remain on the grounds, who are they to stop her.
