Grand Midway Hotel

Grand Midway Hotel 130 years haunted and getting worse... Paranormal teams may rent the entire hotel for private investigations. No place like it. Not for everyone. Snoop around!

Or, book your business or private party ghost tour. This is a one of a kind location. We've grown into a little campus with the Grand Midway Hotel, Shakespeare House, Midway Elf House, American Renaissance Church, Graveyard, among other locations. We are most popular around Halloween. The scene is a lot of paranormal enthusiasts and ghost hunters, but also a little of Andy Warhol's Factory, Disney

's Haunted Mansion, Hearst's Castle, Hollywood's Magic Castle, Coppola's Zoetrope, Forrest Ackerman's Famous Monsters of Filmland, Alex Grey's CoSM, Lord Byron's Villa Diodati, Allen Ginsberg's kitchen, and Prince's Paisley Park. Though the Grand Midway was an invitation-only, haunted private home for twenty years, we now open to the public for creepy overnight stays on weekends ($150 a suite) or ghost hunt team investigations rental ($450 entire hotel). Text 310-827-1748. Buy cool swag! Support monsters! The hotel has an elaborate web page to experience the full picture: www.GrandMidwayHotel.com

This was posted this year on the local private Ambulance-Police-Fire Department on line First Responder page. Something unfortunate happened in town, having nothing to do with us, but we still get the occasional A-hole who blames the Midway...and suggests burning our place to the ground. Thanks neighbor!

WOOOOHOOOO! GO BIANCA!!! Bianca is here visiting all the time and I have been saying from day one she is a rising star to watch. https://nypost.com/2026/06/10/sports/we-asked-a-medium-to-hold-a-seance-to-summon-the-clutch-spirit-of-late-knicks-legend-willis-reed-and-this-time-were-not-waiting-for-game-7/?fbclid=IwY2xjawSWjGVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFuR0pwUWFkQlFNRlRFbVNoc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHv4qB3zetHjbA3sNsV9LcNYhUAACHt42NHEuysArHQfW5LvJfk9j14ZpbLGn_aem_yZvQ2hbD3q4LlLM3ZyfKEA

“I kept seeing the number six,” medium Bianca Rose told The Post, a possible nod to Knicks in Six. “These are good signs.”

Everyone has taken pics in the coffin backroom and sometimes freaky stuff has been captured. So, there is a team investigating here tonight. A young woman lay back in the one casket, and... Doesn't it look like a male ghost hand quick reached up and grabbed over her mouth?! Maybe its just a photographic anomaly, but Yikes!

Yesterday I went into the Canopy Room alone and told it, "Paranormal investigators are coming for the night". I leaned in close to the lifesize Lilly doll, requesting, "Please communicate through their devices and thoroughly spook them." The team sent me this text about their night...

I've been doing some very romantic things (part II)... So, I lined the parking lot with Spring blooming trees. We planted the biggest tree this morning. For the mural on the side of the old Windber radio station 1350 AM (which I bought and am totally fixing up) the final theme is inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's haunting ballad 'Ulalume'. Terence Kauffman (who painted the Tarot Card in the hotel and the Salvator Mundi in the church) painted what became the large Psyche from the ballad, the woman on right. Camille Zamboni (who painted the Ouija Board, with others) painted the Edgar Allan Poe, bottom left. My daughter Luna painted the lone creepy moon, top left. I painted the gold shreds of light coming off Psyche's head and Poe's gaze of blue with stars. More to come... To decorate this even further a few QR codes will take the viewer to Damien Youth's love songs as well as Poe's 'Ulalume'... (Maybe Martha who died here on 4rth of July, 1911, is a little tied in with this as well...)

The Frankenstein Awards now has an official date, official location, and an official Master of Ceremonies!!! The Frankenstein Awards will be held at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Thursday October 29th, with Master of Ceremonies Butch Patrick (AKA Eddie Munster from the Munsters)!!! Woo hoo!!! (Sorry Windber, I tried to make it a town event but was shut down by our local Arcadia Theater. But, in retrospect, this ended up being a fantastic thing.). The Andy Warhol Museum will bring great artistic and cultural prestige to our endeavors. The aim is to champion young monster filmmakers and give them a target to compete and rise in their artistry as well as a context for their work to be celebrated. Currently the very creepy trophies are being minted! Currently films are already being considered! Info on tickets to event will be posted later in summer. Any one, any age, may enter their film project in the Frankenstein Awards. See Filmfreeway.com/FrankensteinAwards

Thank you Iron City Paranormal!!! This was a fun interview, laughing the whole time. Dan and Erin were kind enough to let me yap for an entire hour about the hotel. Enjoy.

I'm finally creating the long-awaited Anne Rice Collection displays in the Midway. If you are an Anne Rice fan it will be something worth seeing. The painting is of Anne's child vampire Claudia, painted by her biographer Katherine Ramsland. The doll beneath it was owned by Anne, donated by her 15 year+ assistant Sue Quiroz. The window is open barely a crack so the wind in this room is making a long slow whistling purr in an otherwise totally silent three story haunted hotel. To stand in front of this is eerie, like time has paused, and they are aware and looking back at you.
