It was tempting to think, this morning, that our new-ish neighbors might be having some problems ... their Normandy-style hunting lodge (I'm using, of course, realtor language) could have any number of ghosts, one might think. More specifically, although it was built for Leona P. Wood, an artist and a founding director of the L.A. Children's Hospital - and was probably designed by Paul Williams, the noted Black architect - it was then lived in by Paul DeGaston, the abortionist (practicing under the name C. J. Morris) who was a (rather far-fetched) suspect in the Black Dahlia murder case in 1947. The house would be a very good candidate for exorcism ...
But given that the new owner is Fred A---en [not wanting to make him too Googlable], of Portlandia, SNL and most recently Wednesday fame, he's probably throwing a party (let's hope the entire cast of Wednesday turn up in costume), since Ghostbusters of LA seem to put on Events in aid of charity, presumably in places just like this house, with its timbered minstrels' gallery, etc. Perhaps he'll invite the neighbors? I do love fancy dress ...
