The other Spreckels Coronado house, built in 1908 was his "bay-side house" which is now the Glorietta Bay Inn.
John D. Spreckels was haunted by the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906, which caused him to move to Coronado Island, across the bay from San Diego.

The "beach house" has recently joined the nearby Hotel del Coronado as another Spreckels home to spirits "under suspicious circumstances."

The Sheriff department declared it a suicide and has closed the case. Zahn's family is pushing for further investigation.

Two tragic women had separately committed suicide, each taking with them the life of an unborn child. Their ghosts remain in two rooms.  The more famous of the Hotel ghosts is Kate Morgan.
