Is Church of Satan / "Black House" site haunted?

The record holds 1 claim — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed media reported. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.

The record — long form

Black House is the shaved — the 'executioner's' that's the bald's meaning, the 'Walpurgisnacht' that's the founding's night. The 'daughter baptized' is the marked — the 'Zeena' that's the child's name, the 'altar nude' that's the ritual's shock. The 'duplex now' is the gone — the '2001' that's the demolition's year, the 'no souvenirs' that's the crew's rule.

The 'sold to pay' is the lost — the 'palimony' that's the suit's kind, the 'friend's sons' that's the evictors' link. The 'died hospital' is the plain — the 'St. Mary's' that's the death's spot, the 'heart' that's the cause's mundane. Black House is the emptied — the 'eyesore' that's the years' end, the 'legend now' that's the house's state.

The file keeps Black House: the shaved head, the baptized daughter, the gone duplex, and the sold loss.

Black House is the archive's California file — the church that became a duplex.

Why this file matters

Black House is the archive's California file — where Satanism's headquarters stood.

A house keeps its paint — the file's suggestion being that the Black House's hold is the erased: the 'Victorian' that's the style's irony, the 'demolished' that's the end's form, and the 'legend' that's the afterlife's kind.
