1927 speakeasy haunted by the "Blue Lady"—a documented 1930s love-triangle death.

Moss Beach Distillery is a restaurant in Moss Beach, California, built in 1927. 1927 speakeasy haunted by the "Blue Lady"—a documented 1930s love-triangle death. Its signature presence is Blue Lady — the figure the file’s accounts keep returning to. The dossier holds 1 reported claim, 1 legend, 1 documented fact and 1 named or described presence — documented record and retelling kept side by side. It still serves diners.

The Moss Beach Distillery opened in 1927 — a Prohibition speakeasy on the cliff above the Pacific, where the liquor ran and a woman in blue died nearby in the 1930s, the documented death seeding California's most famous restaurant ghost.
The file's spine is the speakeasy's atmosphere: a cliffside joint that survived Prohibition, the Blue Lady's story tracing to a real death in the area — the legend having a documented body that most restaurant ghosts lack.

THE BLUE LADY
The lore reports cold spots, a piano playing itself, and a woman in blue on the dance floor — the file's ghost being the speakeasy's dead: a woman reportedly still dancing where the illegal liquor flowed, her blue dress the report's most consistent detail.
The Blue Lady is the file's signature — a ghost with a documented death behind her, the restaurant keeping her reportedly still at the cliff where the speakeasy's era ended violently.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
The Distillery is the archive's speakeasy file — a 1927 joint keeping a Blue Lady with a documented 1930s death. The speakeasy's history and the woman's killing are the record; her dancing is the lore.
A speakeasy that saw a woman die keeps her dancing — the file's suggestion being that the Blue Lady's last dance hasn't ended on the cliffside floor.
