0:00.0 | Disorder in the court. I'm Rebecca Leib. I'm Jason Horton. And this is Ghost Town. |
0:21.0 | In the heart of San Diego's historic Old Town, the Wally House stands as a living |
0:25.2 | testament to the city's rich past. However, beyond its charming facade lies a chilling secret, |
0:31.2 | tales of spirits, apparitions, and unexplained phenomenon that have left visitors in awe and |
0:37.0 | trepidation. Built in 1857 by Thomas Wally, the Wally House is not only an architectural marvel, |
0:44.0 | but also a witness to a myriad of historical events. From serving as the Wally family's residence, |
0:49.5 | to functioning as San Diego's first commercial theater, and even a courthouse, this house has seen |
0:54.7 | it all. The Wally House holds immense historical significance as one of the oldest brick structures |
0:59.6 | in Southern California. My interest is, of course, is always the history. Historic Old Town is |

1:48.5 | a bit of a tumultuous history, so I had my own ghosts. Oh, personal ghosts, as you were rolling |
1:56.0 | through. Absolutely. So that kind of weighed heavy on me for a little bit. I was there to do |
2:00.8 | some stand-up comedy over the weekend. Even though you're saying it's kind of bittersweet, |
2:04.6 | I am a little bit jealous because I do remember when you said you went to the Wally House. So, |
2:09.5 | when we make these episodes, we do so many of them. They kind of, I'm like a goldfish and we |
