Growing up we all knew about the "haunted house" in our neighborhood. Real or imagined it made for great tales in the backyard camp outs. This is part of a series for this month regarding some local hauntings to liven up your October.
Local landmark here in Monrovia, the "Aztec Hotel" has had a colorful past. It opened with quite a bit of fanfare in the 1920's what was to be the start of the Mayan Architecture revival. The Aztec unfortunately opened in time for the prohibition. A bit more on its history HERE.
The Aztec quickly became the stop of choice and haunt (pun intended) of many a Hollywood type when the speakeasy opened in the basement of the hotel. That "speak easy" cemented its place as the watering hole for the Hollywood Celebrities on their way out to Palm Springs. Details of the Haunting of the Aztec after the jump.
