Then Jesse Loya said, ‘You’re right, it really is moving,’” she said. “A few days later, the table moved like 2 1/2 feet, a really dramatic move. I thought, ‘That’s really weird.’” Husband Jesse noticed it, too, but told her she must have moved it while cleaning, but she said she’s not a furniture mover when it comes to regular cleaning. It would move the width of the room, not the depth. I don’t mean it moved 2 inches, like a table can. One day, I started noticing the kitchen table was moving. I told my daughter, ‘Hey, stay on the phone with me.’ I heard more groaning, but I didn’t see anyone in the Hall, I went back in the kitchen.” She could hear the groaning again in a back room. “I heard a groaning, a deep ‘grr.’ I opened the door and walked into the Hall. “I think the first time, I was sitting in the kitchen and was on the phone with my daughter,” Kerrie Loya said. Still, the party went on, with folks opting to stay on the island rather than head to the mainland. Geologists say this disappearing act can be attributed to erosion and shifting of underwater sands.īut why let details and facts get in the way of a good story? There’s a local legend that a storm was on its way from the Gulf headed straight to the Isle. Eventually, the island went back under water. Records indicate the Isle of Caprice had a high-kicking time until the one-two punch of erosion and the Great Depression did it in in the early 1930s. Booze wasn’t sold on the island, but guests were welcome to BYOB or buy it from private boats that just happened to be near the island. In 1926, the Isle of Caprice opened as a resort, offering “dancing, surf bathing, boating, fishing, games,” according to advertisements, with gambling and drinking as the real, unadvertised incentives. It popped up about 50 years later, just in time for the Roaring Twenties. It was there in 1847, then vanished a decade later. The Isle of Caprice is still MIA above water, but the island, once known as Dog Island, lies beneath the waves about 12 miles offshore, between East Ship and Horn islands. Indeed, the island seemed to appear and then disappear on a whim. As Webster’s New World Collegiate Dictionary states, a caprice is “a sudden, impulsive change in the way one thinks or acts whim.” The Isle of Caprice is an appropriate name for this mysterious stretch of land. He had predicted a fire and explosion would flatten the plant, where he had once worked.

A Daily Herald story published the next day said flames erupted in the second story of the house, where another seance had been held the night before.īubar was informed of the fire, and he said he was “delighted that place has burned down as it will free those poor, unfortunate entities that have been trapped there.”įive years later, Bubar was found guilty on four federal charges connected with a fire that destroyed a rubber-products plants in Connecticut.
They battled the blaze, but the wood-frame house was mostly a loss. Bubar said he spoke with the spirit of a girl named Flossie, who said she had been forced into prostitution and having an abortion, then was murdered.Įarly on the afternoon of July 18, 1970, firefighters raced to 10 Kimball Drive, where the old Cahill Mansion was fully engulfed in flames. Bubar of Tennessee, a Baptist minister who claimed psychic powers, conducted a seance at the house. In the meantime, those who knew the house’s story went there for their own paranormal experiences - or sometimes to simply vandalize the place. One day, one of the Gregory children threw his jacket on the bed after school and it burst into flames.īefore long, in the late 1960s, the doctor and his wife left the house and considered bulldozing it and subdividing the property for single-family dwellings in the increasingly popular neighborhood. A doctor later tested it and determined it was human blood. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, the Gregorys found blood dripping down draperies and smeared on the house’s windows. Footsteps could be heard late at night, and a glowing figure of a small boy sometimes appeared. Past owners also were subjected to mysterious cold spots in the house, falling light fixtures, rooms that could not be painted, and general creepy feelings. It wasn’t just noises, which included screams and grating sounds - although that would be unnerving enough.
