Description
A girl named Alice
Legend has it the Pitkin-Conrow House, built around 1890 by Charles Pitkin on Valley Road in Arroyo Grande, is haunted by a young girl named Alice, who reportedly makes her home in the tower room of the Victorian mansion formerly known as the Rose Victorian Inn.
A laughing ghost who loves cats, Alice was documented by psychic Debbie Christenson Senate in Richard Senate's 1986 book "Ghosts of the Haunted Coast":
"Alice (is her name). She looks about 9 years old. She is wearing pigtails, long dress, small apron. She likes cats. She loves to pet them. She doesn't know she is dead and she is waiting."
Senate said Alice is waiting for her mother and often plays with a young male ghost that also haunts the old Victorian. They reportedly play together on the mansion's gabled roof.
After Melanie and John Hodges bought the house in 2000, Melanie said neither she nor her husband had seen the ghost of Alice nor experienced any paranormal occurrences there.

What a wonderful photo of a captivating house! So Alice still lives there, behind the white picket fence. I wonder if the curtains move when she is active. Love the sunlight on the flowers!
