Step into the eerie past of California with Monterey Ghosts to explore the dark shadows of Monterey’s haunted past. Hear about the history and mystery behind California’s First Theater, a historic gem in Monterey with a story as dramatic as the performances it once hosted. Built in 1844 by Scottish sailor Jack Swan, this unassuming adobe boarding house became the state’s first theater to charge admission. Over the years, it transformed from a bustling stage to a whaling station, a tea room, and finally, a museum. After being deemed unsafe in 1992, the community rallied to restore the iconic structure, which reopened in 2023 as a testament to Monterey's cultural history.
But Jack Swan’s story doesn’t end with his death. His ghost is said to linger, keeping a watchful eye over the building. Former stage manager Thomas Ewell recalls a chilling encounter in the 1970s when Swan’s apparition appeared just in time to prevent a tragic accident during a nautical-themed production. Swan’s spectral presence ensured a critical knot was securely tied, saving the lead actor from potential harm. The manager later saw the ghost in the wings, silently warning him to double-check the safety measures.
