Paranormal activity, ghostly brides and a vanishing hitchhiker: Haunting tales from the Central Coast.
A hitchhiking ghost, a haunted ambulance station and a strange apparition that appears at Jenny Dixon Beach are just a few of the eerie tales reported by Central Coast residents.
Like every community, stories of weird unexplained happenings persist in the annals of local folklore.
One of the best known concerns the hitchhiking ghost of Wilfred Barrett Drive, between Magenta and Noraville.
The legend has been around for more than 40 years with numerous reports of a young girl with flowing hair wearing a long white dress seen hitching along a lonely stretch of the road.
Witnesses claim they have picked her up. She gets in the back seat, they say, and talks a little, but mysteriously disappears by the time the car gets to Norahville Cemetery.
Many believe it’s the ghost of a young girl heading home from work in the 1970s who was pulled into a car and viciously attacked and raped by five youths.
She was later found barely alive at Jenny Dixon Beach, but died as a result of her injuries.
No one was ever charged with her death, but it is believed the five youths, or four depending on which version you hear, died under mysterious and bizarre circumstances.
Good friends Julie Baker and Kaye Davison, both of Gorokan, swear they have seen the hitchhiking girl.
The year was 2000 and the women were driving from Gorokan to The Entrance to pick up Melbourne Cup tickets.
It was about 7.30pm and as they travelled along Wilfred Barrett drive heading south, they saw the girl, just opposite the cemetery.
“We both noticed her beautiful dress,” Ms Baker said.
“It was a long white handkerchief dress and we both commented on it.”
“We had seen another girl hitching on Main Rd at Toukley and thought it was dangerous and when we saw a car load of fellows in a car near the girl on Wilfred Barrett Drive we thought we should keep on eye them.
“So we slowed down and were just about pulled over and she disappeared.
“There was nowhere for her to go, she just disappeared.”
Ms Davison, who works at Wyong Police station, describes herself as a sceptic.
“But since I saw this, I am not sure anymore. I saw what I saw and I know what I saw that night.”
The story has also fascinated audio engineer and photographer Christopher Halling, of Watanobbi, for as long as he can remember. He began filming a movie called Jenny Dixon Beach in 2009.
The movie has been in the can for a few years awaiting a decent sound editor.
Halling wrote and directed the movie, which while based on the legend of the hitch-hiking ghost, has a whole fictious back story as well based on the cop who tried to find her killers.
“I was always fascinated by the story. Growing up I heard all about it and had friends swear black and blue they had seen the hitch-hiking ghost,” he said.
Over the years the story of the hitch-hiking ghost has been blended into another famous ghost story in the same area.
In 1973, four young boys decided to camp for the night at Jenny Dixon Beach.
The boys were 12 years old and set up camp on the beach with a large bonfire, huddled together around the flames. They were almost asleep when one felt compelled to look up towards the bush above.
He saw a women dressed in a long flowing dress, similar to the fashion of the 1800s.
Her arms were outstretched and the boys began throwing sticks at her which they claimed passed right through her.
Scared witless, the boys ran back up the stairs to the car park. They decided to have one more and saw her standing halfway along the stairs. They bolted home as quickly as they could.
Jenny Dixon Beach was named after a coal schooner Janet Dixon that was swept ashore in treacherous conditions.
The story goes a woman lost her young son when he was swept overboard and the ghostly mum is pleading with people to help find him.
Lonely stretches of road and windswept beaches are one thing, but strange things also happen at Wyong Ambulance station, according to station crews.
Paramedics are convinced the 62-year-old station is haunted, possibly by the old station master who once lived upstairs, which is now boarded up and no longer used.
Duty inspector Annemarie Dellahunty has only been on the Central Coast for two years and has never seen or heard anything untoward at the old station, but knows plenty who have.
“Some have said cups fly off the bench, the kitchen fan moves when there is no wind,” she said.
“Others have said something brushes past their face when they are walking and something taps their feet.
“A lot of ambos don’t like doing the night shift here.”
Some officers report hearing footsteps upstairs, doors closing for no reason and the feeling of being held down in their seats.
“The stories are widespread amongst Central Coast crews,” Ms Dellahunty said.
Another urban legend revolves around the ghostly bride of Tall Timbers Hotel at Ourimbah.
Legend has it a bride died on her wedding night in one of the upstairs rooms not long after the 100 year old pub opened.
“One of our permanent residents insisted the story was true,” licensee Kellie Holm said.
“The story goes that people have seen her walking up and down the corridor in her wedding dress.”
Ms Holm’s dad Mick Trembath owned the hotel from 1988 to 2006 and she spent her teenage years living at the pub.
“I never heard or saw a thing and I was a teenage girl, and if I didn’t see anything at that age, no-one would have seen anything,” she said.

Haringey and Enfield's most haunted places
Ghostly goings on: Haringey and Enfield's most haunted places.
Paranormal experiences, eerie sightings and unexplained goings on - the intrigue of the unknown instills a fascination to explore what we cannot explain.
Sites across Haringey and Enfield have hosted many ghostly sightings and experiences that have dumbfounded experts and lent weight to those who believe in the undead.
Here, we explore some of north London's most haunted hotspots and unearth the legends and stories behind their reputations...
Forty Hall, Forty Hill, Enfield
Visitors to this historic building have experienced ghostly goings on since it was opened to the public in 1951. People have reported feelings of being watched or followed by a ghost as they make their way around the corridors of the 17th Century building.
Most of the paranormal experiences have occurred on the first floor landing on the main staircase, as well as what locals call ‘Raintom’s Bedroom’. Several years ago, when the room was sealed off to the public, the bedclothes were often found disturbed, as though someone had been sleeping in them. A group of paranormal investigators visited the museum last year and reported feeling a presence on the first floor landing.
Bruce Castle, Lordship Lane, Tottenham
This grade-one listed 16th Century manor has received a reputation as the home of ‘the Ghostly Lady of Bruce Castle’. Little is known about the early life of the woman but it is speculated that she committed suicide and her spirit roams the grounds of Tottenham’s oldest park.
Highgate Cemetery, Swains Lane, Highgate
Numerous ghostly sightings have been reported at the burial place of the late political philosopher Karl Marx. David Farrant, a British occultist, claims he saw an eerie seven foot tall spirit outside the gates of the cemetery. The spirit was nicknamed ‘The Highgate Vampire’. A group of ghost hunters named the North London Paranormal Investigators backed up Mr Farrant’s claim, insisting they also ran into a tall dark figure that appeared in front of them on a visit.
Gloucester Drive, Finsbury Park
Residents claim the footsteps of an invisible and unknown pedestrian can be heard on Gloucester Drive, in Finsbury Park, late at night. Witnesses say they hear the footsteps starting outside number seven and continuing across the front gardens, with cracking twigs breaking the deadly silence of the dark street. Gloucester Road's reputation earned it the title of Britain’s fifth most haunted street.
Number 8 Ferrestone Road, Hornsey
This seemingly normal residential property in north London became known as the haunt of the ‘Hornsey Coal Ghost’ after many sightings and paranormal experiences over the best part of a century. A violent poltergeist was said to be tormenting the house in the 1920s, and a number of strange events were reported in the property in 1999, including sudden changes in temperature. A crypt was discovered submerged in the garden under foliage some time ago, providing a possible clue as to the reasons for the spooky experiences.
The Rose and Crown, Clay Hill, Enfield
This popular old-fashioned public house was once owned by the grandfather of infamous highwayman Dick Turpin. Rumour has it that the serial robber would use the drinking hole as a hideout after his violent crimes. For decades, punters have reported seeing his ghostly figure outside the pub, sometimes accompanied by his horse.
Myddleton House, Bull’s Cross, Enfield
This impressive historic estate was formerly the home of Edward Augustus Bowles, one of Britain’s most famous self-taught gardeners, artists and expert botanists. A caretaker working at the 19th Century home claims she once saw a man in a suit walking towards an exhibition group while she was cleaning the ground floor. But as she followed him in to tick him off the list, he vanished, leading to a widely-held belief that the estate is haunted.
Hadley Road, Enfield
Legend has it the ghost of a witch who lived in Hadley Road in the 1600s haunts this sometimes eerie country lane. She was reportedly executed in 1622 for witchcraft and residents insist that on cold, misty nights, her ghostly form returns.

3-Year-Old Remembers Past Life and finds his old body.
3-Year-Old Remembers Past Life, Identifies Murderer and Location of Body.
A 3-year-old boy in the Golan Heights region near the border of Syria and Israel said he was murdered with an axe in his previous life. He showed village elders where the murderer buried his body, and sure enough they found a man’s skeleton there. He also showed the elders where the murder weapon was found, and upon digging, they did indeed find an axe there.
In his book, “Children Who Have Lived Before: Reincarnation Today,” German therapist Trutz Hardo tells this boy’s story, along with other stories of children who seem to remember their past lives with verified accuracy. The boy’s story was witnessed by Dr. Eli Lasch, who is best known for developing the medical system in Gaza as part of an Israeli government operation in the 1960s. Dr. Lasch, who died in 2009, had recounted these astounding events to Hardo.
The boy was of the Druze ethnic group, and in his culture the existence of reincarnation is accepted as fact. His story nonetheless had the power to surprise his community.
He was born with a long, red birthmark on his head. The Druse believe, as some other cultures do, that birthmarks are related to past-life deaths. When the boy was old enough to talk, he told his family he had been killed by a blow to the head with an axe.
It is customary for elders to take a child at the age of 3 to the home of his previous life if he remembers it. The boy knew the village he was from, so they went there. When they arrived in the village, the boy remembered the name he had in his past life.
A village local said the man the boy claimed to be the reincarnation of had gone missing four years earlier. His friends and family thought he may have strayed into hostile territory nearby as sometimes happens.
The boy also remembered the full name of his killer. When he confronted this man, the alleged killer’s face turned white, Lasch told Hardo, but he did not admit to murder. The boy then said he could take the elders to where the body was buried. In that very spot, they found a man’s skeleton with a wound to the head that corresponded to the boy’s birth mark. They also found the axe, the murder weapon.
Faced with this evidence, the murderer admitted to the crime. Dr. Lasch, the only non-Druse, was present through this whole process.

Blair witch ghost ‘captured on camera’ in the UK.
Blair witch ghost ‘captured on camera’ roaming around Bristol woods.
Two women who went camping in the woods got the fright of their lives after capturing this Blair Witch-style ghost on camera.
Lola Swan and Kate Channon set up camp in a dense woodland but soon noticed strange noises such as twigs snapping and their equipment going missing.
But they packed up and fled in terror after hearing a chilling child’s voice at 1am.
It wasn’t until the following morning when Lola, 28, flicked through their pictures of the night before that she noticed the spooky apparition among the trees.
‘I immediately threw the phone to the ground,” she said. “I knew we were being watched, and that picture proves it.
‘During the night we heard the sounds of, what can be described as, people walking around.
‘Twigs and branches were cracking and breaking, like footsteps on the forest ground.’
Lola and Kate, 24, were camping at Leigh Woods on the outskirts of their home city of Bristol.
They set up during the day but as night fell they began hearing strange noises and felt like they were being watched.
At one point Kate whistled out – and was horrified when something whistled back.
Tensions rose when their hammer went missing and the child’s voice at 1am was the final straw.
‘After midnight it all got too scary and, in our panic and fear, packed up our tent and go the hell out of there,’ said Lola, who is unemployed and of Hartcliffe, Bristol.
Her picture shows what appears to be a white ghoul, or ghost, peering at them from behind a tree.

Floating Orb at Liverpool Allerton Hall.
Moment ghostly orb floats across the grounds and into the building of a pub... owned by a spirit company.
This is the moment a mysterious vision was captured on CCTV floating through a pub.
Supernatural incidents have been reported for years in the 17th century Grade II listed Allerton Hall in Liverpool.
But it was not until Monday night that the owners managed to capture 'hard evidence' of a ghostly object in the manor - which is owned by pub chain The Spirit Company.
It was discovered by Joe McCann, general manager at the building known as The Pub In The Park, after looking back through security footage.
To his horror, the largely uneventful late-night video is interrupted by a translucent object plainly drifting across the screen.
He replayed the reel dozens of times, and every time a misty, white ball loops through the oak wood panels before drifting through a wall.
Mr McCann said: 'It was a very strange thing to see.
'We’ve all been talking about it and trying to figure out what it actually is.
'Ghost hunts here in the past have found some strange things like orbs and other supernatural activity so who knows what’s going on.
'It’s a different kind of spirit to what we usually deal with anyway.
'I’m not a believer in ghosts but my girlfriend Susan was convinced she’d seen something supernatural.
'When we watched the footage back I couldn’t believe my eyes.
The manor of Allerton served as the National Fire Service headquarters during the war.
In the centuries before, it housed some of the nation's most prominent figures.
It was built in the early 1600s for the Lathoms, a prominent family in South Lancashire - but they were accused of treason after the civil war and forced to forefeit their land.
The city's former mayor Richard Percival took over the estate in 1670 and his family passed it down two generations.
However, in 1736, the Percivals hit financial difficulties, forcing them to sell up to soon-to-be MP John Hardman, commissioned most of the building which remains today.
When he died, Hardman handed Allerton to his butler's son: the celebrated politician, historian and philanthropist William Roscoe.
From Allerton, Roscoe wrote his book Life Of Lorenzo de Medici and influential pamphlets calling for the abolition of slavery.
His alterations to the house in 1811 involved pulling down the remaining 17th century parts and the building of a library and art space.
Mr McCann added: 'I’ll be on the lookout for any more goings on but am hoping this is a friendly ghost.'

Ghost caught on camera at Cascade restaurant?
Ghost caught on camera at Cascade restaurant?
One area restaurant might have caught a ghost on camera.
At least, that's one explanation.
Chuck & Edna's Maid-Rite in Cascade has two possible instances of paranormal activity caught on camera. Owner Pat Orr said his surveillance cameras caught something spooky one night in mid-April.
In the first video, dated April 14 at 6 p.m., a shadowy shape is seen approaching the kitchen's dish-washing sink. It moves haltingly and occasionally, not fluidly.
Some say it looks like a shadow. Others say it could have been a bug that landed on the camera. One thing is for sure: it's unexplained.
"We found you can't make a shadow on the floor back there because of all the lights. Some people said it's a bug on the lens," Orr said. "I don't know what the thing is."
Orr called in Cascade police chief Fred Heim soon after watching the video.
"I still can't tell you what I saw. There was a fuzzy thing on there. I don't know if it was a fly leg, I don't know if it was something that, you know, could be related to ghosts. I really couldn't tell you," Heim, an admitted non-believer in ghosts, said. "(Orr) asked me if we investigated stuff like that, and I basically told him that he probably should call Ghostbusters."
So that's what Orr did. A few days after the shadowy-figure video incident, Orr called a ghost hunting team from Iowa City. As of Wednesday afternoon, he had not yet heard back from them with any results.
Is it phantom or fiction? Orr said his employees have occasionally reported strange activity in the past three years, that this was just the first of it caught on camera.
Besides, there's a whole other piece of possible evidence.
In a second video, dated April 19 at 9:49 a.m., a stack of cups flies (or falls) off a kitchen shelf, hitting an employee, who is preparing food below. Clearly rattled, the employee backs up and turns to walk out of the kitchen.
Wednesday afternoon, Tom Oberbroeckling and his wife, from Anamosa, were eating lunch at the Maid-Rite in Cascade.
When told the restaurant he was eating in might be haunted, Oberbroeckling said he was, "very surprised, considering this is a new building."
The Maid-Rite has been in Cascade for just over three years. Before then, it was an empty lot.
"I've been here in town about eight years," Heim said, "but they said there's been quite a few different things that have actually been on that lot over there. Groceries stores, and there's been some other things in the area, such as funeral homes and the old ambulance garage, so who knows!"
Is it a poltergeist? A prank? A publicity ploy?
"You can believe what you want, whether it's a bug, a shadow," Orr said. "I don't know what's going on down here, but it's kind of funny."
Customers can enter, if they dare, and have a ghostly gander.
For the faint of heart, there's always the drive-thru.

Apparition of a Victorian Girl, blamed for crashes.
Ghost of Victorian girl 'causing car crashes'
A ghostly apparition of a young girl is being blamed for a series of crashes on a stretch of country road.
Paranormal researchers are investigating the sightings of a girl in Victorian dress on a road in the West Midlands, which locals say is an accident blackspot.
The late-night visions are occurring along Oldnall Road in the Halesowen area and are believed to have been responsible for a number of crashes and near-misses in the area in recent years.
Investigators looking for a logical explanation for the mystery admit they are baffled.
David Taylor, chairman of the Parasearch group, said he had received reports that the apparition had been the cause of several accidents along the road between Wollescote and Cradley.
"Although the people who have reported the sightings didn't actually crash they were close to it because they had to swerve around the apparition and up onto the pavement,” he said.
"The area around there is an accident black spot and there have been some serious incidents so maybe they had seen the same thing.
"There could be a logical explanation for this, it could be an optical illusion of some sorts.
"For 22 years we have been running a group who investigate claims of the paranormal. Most of the time there is a logical explanation - but so far I haven't found one for this case.
"The image had been described as a small girl between the ages of three and five years old and wearing Victorian clothes.
"We are trying to find out any stories locals might have of the area which might explain what or who this could be."
Local resident Jimmy Lahn, 54, said: "We've had quite a few accidents on that road, I wouldn't be surprised if this ghostly figure has something to do with it.”
Resident say most of the crashes have been minor, but there have been a couple of serious incidents over the years.

A ghostly apparition of a young girl is being blamed for a series of crashes on a stretch of country road.
Paranormal researchers are investigating the sightings of a girl in Victorian dress on a road in the West Midlands, which locals say is an accident blackspot.
The late-night visions are occurring along Oldnall Road in the Halesowen area and are believed to have been responsible for a number of crashes and near-misses in the area in recent years.

Objects that are claimed to be Haunted or Possessed. Part Four.
Objects that are claimed to be Haunted or Possessed. Part Four.
“Little Bastard” A Porsche 550 Spyder.
For the fourth part in this series we take a look at car and the bizarre happenings that surround it.
The 550 Spyder was Porsche’s first attempt at building a pure race car and was introduced at the Paris Auto Show in 1953. Although the 550 proved to be race winning car and could out race many cars which were more powerful, Porsche only ever made 90 of the 550 Spyders.
However it is not on one of the many race tracks that the 550 won races that makes this car so famous, the car is best known for an accident that happened on 30th September 1955 at the junction of California highways 41 and 46 not far from the small town of Chalome.

James Byron Dean 1931 - 1955. |
On September 21st 1955 Dean traded in his Speedster
for a brand new Porsche 550 Spyder (VIN 550-0055) which he numbered 130. Dean called
in George Barris, of movie car fame, to customize the Porsche by adding two red
stripes over the back wheels, adding tartan seats and putting the number 130 on
the doors and boot and bonnet. The car was given a nickname by Dean’s language
coach Bill Hickman “Little Bastard” and this was painted on the boot of the
car.
James Dean should have known that something was not right with the vehicle, immediately people close to James started to comment on the bad vibes they received from the vehicle. Meeting actor Alec Guinness outside a restaurant on 23rd September 1955 he showed his fellow actor the car, Guinness commented that the car had a sinister appearance and then told Dean “Get rid of that car, or you will be dead in a week”. Alec Guinness was not the only person to have bad vibes about “little bastard” George Barris said “the car gave feelings of impending doom” while Ursula Andress his girlfriend at the time totally refused to get in the vehicle or go near it. Eartha Kitt and Dean’s friend Nick Adams both expressed their feelings of unease when around the car and both told Dean of their feelings towards it.
The actor had entered in a race at Salinas, California on 1st October 1955. On 30th September Dean and his Porsche trained mechanic Rolf Wütherich were at Competition Motors in Hollywood preparing the 550 Spyder for the upcoming race weekend. The initial plan was to have the race car trailered to the race track behind a Station Wagon which would transport Dean and the others to their destination. Wütherich aired his concerns that the car had not yet had enough “Break-in” miles and suggested that Dean should drive the car to the track and Wütherich would accompany him in the vehicle. Dean agreed with this suggestion and once ready they set off on their journey to Salinas with the others following behind in the Station Wagon.
At 15:30 local police pulled over the Porsche that Dean was driving and he was issued with a speeding ticket, he had been travelling at 65 in a 45 zone.
At 15:59 23-year-old Cal Poly student named Donald Turnupseed was driving home in 1950 Ford Custom, at the intersection of California highways 41 and 46 the two cars collided.
Dean was pinned in the Porsche Spyder suffering amongst other injuries a broken neck, his passenger Wütherich was thrown clear out of the car and suffered a broken leg, broken jaw and a few minor internal injuries, while Tunupseed suffered only a few minor injuries and refused hospital treatment.
James Dean was removed from the vehicle but died from his injuries at the scene.
It was just seven days since Dean had met Alec Guinness outside that restaurant and Guinness had given Dean the warning about getting rid of “Little Bastard”
It is at this point where the tale of “Little Bastard” takes a creepy twist.
The crumpled and twisted wreckage of the Spyder was purchased by George Barris, and when it arrived at his garage it is alleged to have fell, breaking the leg of one of the mechanics in the garage. Barris stripped some of the parts from the vehicle and the parts that had survived the crash were sold off, the engine was sold to Troy McHenry and the chassis to William Eschrid, both prominent doctors and racing enthusiasts. Two of the tires that survived the accident were sold off to a gentleman from New York.
Both McHenry and Eschrid fitted the parts of “Little Bastard that they had bought from Barris to their own race cars, on October 21st 1956 they were both racing, McHenry’s Porsche Spyder spun out of control and collided with a tree, the impact killed McHenry instantly. Eschrid was seriously injured when he lost control of the car he was racing, the car over turned as he went around a curve.
The gentleman from New York who had purchased the tyres had a lucky escape when he lost control of his car and ended up in a ditch, witnesses to this accident all describe two tires of the vehicle had blown at the exact time, these were “Little Bastards” Tires.
There is also a report that while the car was in storage two wannabe thieves or souvenir collectors broke in and tried to remove parts of the car, the first one ripped his arm open while trying to remove the steering wheel and the second sustained injuries while trying to remove the blood stained upholstery.
James Dean & Rolf Wütherich on the day of the accident. |
It was while en-route to one of these exhibits that “Little Bastard” was involved in a further fatality. The vehicle was being transported back to Salinas, the truck driver lost control of the truck, the driver was thrown free from the cab only to be crushed by “Little Bastard” as it fell from the flat bed.
The 550 also fell off a transporter a further two times while being moved around California freeways, however on these two occasions no one was injured.
There were several further incidents that involved the 550 and by now the California Highway Patrol were themselves convinced that all was not right with the wreckage of Dean’s car, they decided to return the car to Barris. It was while the car was being transported back to Barris that it disappeared.
James Dean 1931-1955 RIP |
The only part of the James Dean’s Porsche 550 Spyder to still be able to be viewed is apparently on display in an auto museum in Illinois, no one knows how this museum came to get their hands on the original door of James Dean’s Porsche 550 Spyder but big rewards have been offered to anybody who can find what is left of the wreckage of “Little Bastard”.
It is hard to say if this car was possessed, haunted or even just cursed but there was way too many accidents surrounding this car and the parts that were salvaged from it for it to be just coincidence, add that to the warnings of bad vibes about the car from people close to James Dean, you have to accept the possibility that something was not right about this vehicle.
If only James Dean had listened to Alec Guinness’s warning?
Where Highways 41 & 46 join, the location of the accident. |

Man attacked by a Ghost Caught on CCTV Camera.
Watch incredible CCTV footage of ghost PUSHING man to the ground and DRAGGING him along corridor.
The attack lasts just a few seconds before the sinister apparition disappears, leaving the victim to flee the scene in sheer terror.
This extraordinary CCTV footage captures the moment a ghostly apparition PUSHES a man to the ground before dragging him along a corridor.
The 60-second video, posted on YouTube, shows the man, clad in dark clothing striding purposefully along a deserted hallway, watched by the unsleeping eye of a CCTV camera.
Then as he reaches the end of the corridor, a sinister dark shape suddenly materialises in front of him.
The shocked man is violently hurled onto the floor, before being dragged a short distance along the hallway by his right leg.
The ghostly figure then dissolves away into the ether before the terrified man scrambles to his feet, turns tail and runs headlong in the direction he has just come from.
If you are easily scared, perhaps this video isn't for you.

Realtor & Businessman in Disputed Over Home that is Claimed to be Haunted.
'There's shadows of children': Man demands realtor takes back 'haunted' mansion he leased for knock-down price after discovering gruesome murder took place there.
A local businessman has become involved in a bitter dispute with his realtor after he claims he almost moved into a property built on top of a notorious child-sex and murder den.
Nir Golan had placed his deposit down and was packed and ready to move to the seaside town of Seabrook, near Houston, when he discovered his home was built on the site locals call 'Murder Mansion'.
Indeed, Golan claims that his realtor dropped the leasing price so low he couldn't refuse it, but now is battling to get his money back because he thinks the home might be haunted.
'A lot of people say there's shadows of children,' said Golan to KHOU.
'People say that they wouldn't come to my house as a guest.'
The horrifying past of the property the home was built on dates back to 1984 and Texan millionaire Bill List, who built a massive mansion on the site.
He would pick up young teenage boys and house them in exchange for sexual favors.
However, one night, the children rebelled and shot and killed List.
Afterwards, the home was torn down and the property was subdivided.
But, Golan's realtor neglected to mention any of the terrible history.
'I said let me tell you something. If you paid me money, I would not move there. It's against my religion. You cannot force me to move there,' said Golan to KHOU.
Golan claims it does not matter where the murders take place, just that they did on the land.
'There was a murder, but the murder wasn't in this house. It was on the property. And I'm trying to explain to him to me it doesn’t matter. A property is your front yard, your backyard,' said Golan.
A neighbor and former HOA president told KHOU that everyone knows the story of the Murder Mansion.
'It was 30 years ago. I mean it didn’t bother me to the point, I mean, I was gonna buy the old murder mansion and redevelop it. So you know people die all the time,' said Larry Neu.
While the homeowner had agree to terminate the lease, they will not return the deposit - a decision that infuriates Golan.
Golan tells KHOU he is planning to sue to get his money back but a lawyer said he is on shaky ground.
'That law in Texas is clear. There is not a duty to disclose in most circumstances. And on the issue of religion, there is no duty of the seller to be a mind reader and guess the religious objections a renter could have,' said Gerald Treece, a professor at the South Texas College of Law.

Dead Boyfriend Haunts Woman in Her Car.
Beauty school student claims spirit of her dead boyfriend is haunting her pick up truck.
A beauty school student from Sacramento says she had to sell her car because it was being haunted by the spirit of her dead boyfriend.
Deanna Stinson says she had a series on spine-chilling experiences in her pick up truck which started days after her boyfriend Alex's unexpected death.
When a paranormal investigator checked the car, he recorded what the pair believe was a male voice trying to answer their questions.
Ms Stinson had been dating Alex for only a month in 2005 when he died of a drug overdose. Three days later she claims she had the first of several supernatural encounters with the 22-year-old.
She said she was driving through Sacramento while wearing a skirt that Alex had always admired on her, when she could feel someone touching her.
'I could feel touching on my hair and on my shoulders, on my thighs, just everywhere,' she told CBS Sacramento.
'My concentration would be lost a lot of the times, but I would just pray, and then it would stop,' she added.
On a couple of occasions the student became convinced she could see Alex in the rear view mirror and even in the passenger seat next to her.
In one encounter, she claimed that he appeared as a ghost in the back seat and began to give her a shoulder massage.
'I was starting to get freaked out and I don't like to be touched by ghostly hands, especially when I am driving,' she told the Knight Talk Radio website.
Ms Stinson says she had no choice but to get rid of the pick up truck but when the feeling that she was being haunted lingered, she called in a paranormal investigator.
Paul Dale Roberts, who has written several books about supernatural activity, used electronic equipment to test the truck.
The 59-year-old, who married Ms Stinson earlier this month, asked the spirit of Alex a series of questions and, when he played back the recording a muffled male voice could be heard.
'He’s definitely probably not attached to his car, but he’s attached to Deanna,' Mr Roberts said.
Ms Stinson says that although she has still felt the presence of Alex in her new car, she is happy for him to remain as long as he doesn't interfere with her driving.

Ghostly Figure Captured in Chester Restaurant.
Ghostly figure spotted at Indian restaurant.
This ghoulish face peering out of the darkness from the gents in a city centre Indian restaurant is enough to give anybody the willies.
Aaron Ali, co-owner of the family-run Bombay Palace restaurant in Upper Northgate Street, Chester, was sitting in the dark at the front of the eating house about 3am one morning, just before last Christmas, when he heard the sound of a door banging.
Everybody else had gone home, except for the waiter who had retired to his upstairs living quarters, and Mr Ali decided to film the scene on his mobile because he was slightly unnerved by the noise.
However, his mobile was set on stills camera mode and he took a snap shot which looked innocuous at first. However, on zooming in he spotted the creepy looking face in the background, positioned where the gents toilet mirror is located.
Mr Ali explained: “I thought it must be the light hitting the mirror in the gents toilet because when we clean up we use a mop to hold the door open. I thought it was some sort of reflection.
“When you first look at the photo you think there’s nothing there but when you zoom in you can see what looks like a face.”
Mr Ali said customers, a handyman who does work at the restaurant, the chef and his brother Zafor, with whom he runs the business, had always thought there was “something” towards the back of the building.
In addition, an empty coffin had been found in the cellar of the restaurant in the 1980s with no explanation as to what it was doing there.
Mr Ali, from Newton, denied altering the image, saying: “I don’t know anything about computers.”
He had been reluctant to share the photo because he does not want to unsettle his young children who often visit the restaurant. “I don’t want to scare them,” he said.
