Opened in 1933 near the end of the Prohibition era, it is believed that The Georgian Hotel in Santa Monica, Calif., was a place where patrons could enjoy spirits-the alcoholic kind. Today, the hotel's Speakeasy restaurant has been the location of other kinds of spirits. Early one morning, Chief Engineer Ignacio Choza was repairing a pipe in the Speakeasy. A visitor, who could not be seen, sat down next to Ignacio and let out a large sigh as he made himself comfortable. Ignacio asked the entity if he was going to speak and the ghost left the area. Another time, Ignacio could see transparent guests in the room. As Ignacio approached, the guests dissipated. Houseman Domingo Pardo also has unexplained experiences in the Speakeasy. The restaurant was empty but someone repeatedly said "good morning" to him. This continued until Domingo responded back with the same greeting. On a separate occasion, Domingo heard someone enter the Speakeasy as a running pace. No one was visible, but Domingo heard the spirit run by him and out a set of locked doors.
