The Whaley House
The most famous of all haunted locations in San Diego, with its stories told in magazines, movies, and television shows.
Even before all the tragedy that befell them, the Whaleys told the local newspaper that they were experiencing a poltergeist that they believed was the ghost of James “Yankee Jim” Robinson, who was hanged on the property for stealing a boat years before the infamous home was built.
Not helping matters is the fact that the Whaley House was built upon an old cemetery. The Whaleys long maintained that they heard footsteps in the house, with passersby corroborating the Whaley’s claims by reporting apparitions in the home’s windows from the streets.
During the house’s later periods of restoration, workers and visitors claimed to hear strange, unexplained sounds, sights and even smells. Most felt a powerful presence whenever inside the residence.
This is believed by many to be the lingering ghost of Jim Robinson mentioned earlier. He would torment the living by leaving footprints, stomping on the floor, and making chilling noises throughout the abode.

Continuation of the Birthday Series! This is pure tooth-rotting fluff. I will not apologize. (I accidentally published this not meaning too. It's not finished, but I guess I will split this into two parts then 🥲)
The Finale to the Birthday Series Part I of II
March 29, 1991.
Billy turns 25. It’s a Friday.
Steve curls around Billy’s naked form, anxious to tell him the news. He’s been awake for what feels like hours, excitement radiating through his body. They’ve been talking about going on vacation to California for his birthday which happened to be during Spring break. They discussed it months in advance, and the closer it got to the date of their trip the more homesick Billy got. Billy was constantly pacing, staring into nothing, and huffing at minor inconveniences.
Steve could tell he was just itching to dip his toes into the wet sand of San Diego’s beaches again. At the beginning of the month, Steve told Billy they’d be renting a house instead of staying in a “shitty” hotel. Billy said he didn’t care as long as it was close to the ocean. Steve promised to deliver, and he would deliver… more than Billy knows or expects, which is why, now, Steve is about to jump out of his skin if Billy doesn’t wake up soon.
Steve decides Billy has been asleep for too long. Steve gently squeezes him - one hand on his boob, the other snaked around his belly - and Billy finally stirs from his slumber. He groans when he opens his eyes and the sunlight from the window hits his face.
“Goddamn,” Billy yawns, “s’fucking bright.”
“Good morning, birthday boy!”
Steve squeezes him so tight that Billy taps out, gasping for air.
“Wake-y, wake-y, handsome baby!”
“Ugh, shut up…”
Billy jabs Steve in the side, and Steve shouts, “Oh, you have wounded me! I’ve no choice but to defend myself!”
They roll around, wrestle, play-fight until they’re both in hysterics. Steve gets on top of Billy, holding Billy’s wrists against his pillow as he leans down for a kiss. Billy melts against Steve’s lips, warmth flooding his limbs. He sighs contently, blue eyes meeting brown. Steve smiles above him, so deeply in love with him.
“You ready?”
“Yeah,” Billy nods, “as I’ll ever be”
The flight is nerve wracking for Billy. He’s never actually been on a plane. Well, that’s a lie. He was air lifted once to a government facility when he was actively dying, but it’s not like he was conscious at the time. Steve holds his hand through most of the flight, brushing a thumb over his knuckles to soothe him.
They make it to their “rental” in California by night. It’s a three bedroom, two bath with ocean views. The master bedroom has big windows and French doors leading out to a small deck for sitting. They’re both dead tired, having just enough energy for handjobs in the shower before passing out in their big bed. In the morning, Steve finds Billy sitting outside on the deck in the sun, head tilt back and hair and skin shining under its rays. Billy is like a fish being returned to the water after struggling to breathe in a fisherman’s grasp.
Billy belongs here.
Steve is certain of that, especially when Billy takes him around town their first full day there. He shows him his former haunts, telling Steve all about the stupid shit he got into with his friends. God. Friends. Billy had friends. Billy shows him the garage he used to “work” at when he was just a kid. An old, big and burly man with the name Hank embroidered into his shirt stares at Billy for a good long minute from the open doors of the garage. He asks, “That you, Billy?” and when Billy confirms, the man nearly breaks Billy’s back in a bone crushing hug.
Hank says he could come back and work for him some time. Billy says thanks, but that he's just on vacation. Lives in Indiana now. Hank says that's too bad, but if ever decided to move back the job is there for him.
Steve thinks that's nice that Billy has a place like this. Here. Where he belongs. It eases his anxiety a bit.
The next day, Steve and Billy get tacos at a taquería on the boardwalk. Billy is a bit of a taco snob, and orders for them both thinking he's cool for knowing just enough Spanish to read off a menu. Pescado. Carnitas. Birria - Steve thinks that one is his favorite, though Billy wont tell him what's in it. He just shrugs and bites into the taco, brothy sauce dripping down his forearm. Then he moans. Loudly.
They are delicious, Steve thinks. Better than the fast food tacos he gets in the "hard shell" they have back in Hawkins, which Billy will not eat. The first time they ever had "Taco Night" with the gang, Billy got mad that Steve didn't buy the corn tortillas (they didn't have those at the store, he tried to explain) and he nearly crucified Steve for not bothering to cook the flour ones. After biting into the corn tortillas, he can see why.
Steve loves that they're Billy's comfort food. They remind him of California. Where he belongs. Home.
The day after that, they go to an aquarium.
Billy always swears he's not a nerd, but Steve is starting to doubt that with the way Billy practically narrates each exhibit like it's his job. Even a few tourists wandering around listen in when Billy talks animatedly about deep sea creatures. One woman with her young grandson asks him what he meant by "bioluminescent" and Billy responds with "the fish fucking glow." She didn't seem too happy with that, but gave a polite nod before dragging her grandson away.
Billy is most excited about the sharks and rays exhibit. Steve asks about the fish hanging off of a big shark in the massive tank, and Billy goes on a tangent about remoras. He almost works himself into a frenzy when he gets into the misunderstood nature of sharks. Shouts, even. "Don't fuck with a shark, and they wont fuck with you!"
It's a motto everyone should live by.
Steve buys Billy a shark plush at the gift shop. It's huge, taking up a significant portion of their bed back at the rental. Billy spends every night on their vacation curled up with the damn thing. Steve almost regrets buying it, but the content look on Billy's face as he hugs the shark to his body is well worth it.

Introducing Darcy
( ZENDAYA COLEMAN . CISWOMAN . SHE/HER ) - the chicago resident , ( DARCY ANTHONY ) , was heard blaring ( DON’T SAVE ME / CHXRLOTTE ) this morning . the ( TWENTY-SIX ) year old is a ( GHOST HUNTER ) in the city & has lived the ( EAST ) tower for ( TWO MONTHS ) . since being here , they have been told to be ( - SELF-CRITICAL ) , but also ( + CURIOUS ) , i guess we'll find out soon !
MUSE INSPO:
PINTEREST || SPOTIFY (coming soon)
BASIC INFO:
Name: Darcy Elaine Anthony
Age: 26
Faceclaim: Zendaya Coleman
Birthday: August 12, 1998
Hometown: San Diego, California
FAMILY:
Father: Mitchel Anthony
Mother: Elaine Anthony
Sister: possible wc on the main to come
APPEARANCE:
Height: 5'10
Hair: brow, curly (visual of how it usually is)
Piercings: 3 ear piercings (reference)
Tattoo(s): simple ghost on her wrist
BIO:
TRIGGER WARNINGS: mentions of death, fire, grief, depression
Darcy was born and raised in San Diego, California, eldest daughter of Mitchel and Elaine Anthony. The Anthony's were a happy little family and they were well known in their town since Mitchel was the chief of police. Darcy and her sister bickered often, but siblings fighting over petty things was the only bad thing in the Anthony household.
Darcy was an adventurer when she was younger and even is now. She loved going out and finding things to do, people to play with, and new places to explore. She had a group of friends in high school who would always smoke together and explore abandoned buildings near their town. It was fun and they seldom got in trouble since Darcy's father could kind of sweep things under the rug. Things like, her breaking and entering said abandoned buildings.
Darcy and her friends had plans for the future and promised to be together forever, but a few nights after their high school graduation, there was a fire at one of their houses, and one friend, Knox, didn't make it. It was devastating, and while the rest of their little group mourned and grieved together, they eventually went their separate ways.
Darcy had always felt like they were invincible, so to be faced with mortality like that really hit her hard. She dealt with depression afterwards and she had already decided to take a break between high school and college, but she had plans to travel but she stayed home instead of doing her plans.
It was one night that Darcy was home alone, that she swore she heard the voice of her friend, Knox. Darcy had heard stories of ghosts and people speaking beyond the grave, but she never really put much thought into it. But she could never explain how she so clearly heard her friend's voice.
Darcy's family didn't believe what she heard and thought it had to be something easily explainable, but from then on, Darcy decided she would do whatever she could to prove that ghosts were real. She bought all the equipment she needed, she did research on places that were supposedly haunted, and she went out to ghost hunt. Sometime during this, she made her own YouTube channel where she would film her ghost hunts, traveling all over America to find her evidence.
Since reading up on some haunted locations in and near Chicago, Darcy moved to Marina Towers and she's going to find her proof, as well as prove that Marina is haunted itself.

August 1/8 / AO3 >>

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Dream a Little Dream of Me 1/21 / AO3 >>
Steve works as VP of marketing in a Fortune500 firm. He starts to have a recurring dream of a relationship where he feels content in a way he'd never felt before. "It's just another dream" he tries to tell himself. It's not like you can dream someone perfect alive, can you?
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Pretty (wo)man 1/12 / AO3 >>
This was the first night Steve had dared to actually stop by the red light district at all. He'd driven by maybe ten times the past week and spotted the blonde in the corner four times. He knew that he would actually have to talk to him at some point. But even the thought of being close to him always made him so anxious that he just couldn't stop the car. But as the vision of having the blonde in his bed haunted his mind stubbornly, he had decided that tonight would be the night when it would happen.

Get Out Of My Dreams, Get Into My Car 1/? / AO3 >> (unfinished)
1992 in San Diego, where Steve recently moved because of his new job, he runs into Billy - literally. Billy isn't exactly what he used to be when Steve had last seen him, but it isn't a bad thing. At all. By chance, they end up as roommates and, well…
or OMG they were roommates!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The Family Values Program 1/? / AO3 >> (unfinished)
Co-written with Aggressiveviking
When society started to decline, morals deteriorate and disease wiped almost one fourth of the population in the United States, The Family Values Program (TFV) was launched—the last beacon of hope for the betterment of the American people.
Steve had thought he wouldn't need to join TFV thanks to his dad's riches, whereas Billy had done all he could to ensure he would be one of the few accepted to it, for his father's sake—hoping desperately to turn twenty-five before being matched and thus age out of the program.
So, when they got the message from the Matchmaking Service of a successful match, neither of them knew what to expect—and how badly wrong it had gone.
To Steve, finding out that he was matched with a man by mistake was just one problem. The more pressing one was his upcoming twenty-fifth birthday a week from now, effectively aging him out of the program. If their match was revoked, Steve would be cast out of the TFV zone, with a promise from his father for no financial support. Steve couldn't let that happen.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::
A Shot for Life 1/? / AO3 >> (unfinished)
Billy Hargrove, a 24-year-old model with striking looks and undeniable talent, is on the brink of superstardom after landing his biggest gig yet as the face of Givenchy. The opportunity of a lifetime brings him to a three-day-long photoshoot in the Bahamas, where he meets the legendary photographer Steve Harrington, a 46-year-old icon in the fashion world.
What begins as professional tension quickly evolves into an undeniable connection, as Billy and Steve find themselves drawn to one another in ways neither expected. But with an age gap that invites scrutiny and careers that thrive on image, their relationship stirs up gossip and reveals old secrets, risking everything they’ve worked so hard to build.
Will they be able to rise above the lies or will the unforgiving spotlight of fame drive them apart forever?

31 Days of Halloween: Day 18, The Whaley House in San Diego
Welcome to Day 18 of our 31 days of Halloween journey. Today, we venture into the heart of Old Town San Diego to unravel the eerie tales enveloped within the historical Whaley House. With its forbidding atmosphere and a grim history tracing back to the mid-19th century, the Whaley House is a fascinating blend of San Diego’s early history and the supernatural.
Historical Background
Thomas Whaley, the owner and builder of this iconic house, commenced construction on May 6, 1856, on a piece of land that once housed San Diego’s public gallows. Unyielding to the property’s somber past, Thomas aspired to create the “handsomest, most comfortable and convenient place in town,” a vision that culminated in the majestic Greek Revival house known as the Whaley House. The house not only served as a residence but also hosted a general store, courthouse, and at one point, the Tanner Troupe Theatre, standing as a testament to the vibrant life led by the Whaley family amidst the burgeoning city of San Diego.
Haunting Tales
The spectral stories of Whaley House are as diverse as the roles it played in the early days of San Diego.
Yankee Jim’s Last Stand: The property was infamous for being the execution ground of Yankee Jim Robinson, a notorious horse thief. The grim aura of the execution site seeped into the foundations of the Whaley House, with many believing it was destined to be haunted even before its construction .
The Whaley Family’s Unfortunate Legacy: Tragic deaths and spiritual encounters have long been associated with the Whaley family. Thomas Whaley’s son, Thomas Jr., died at the tender age of 18 months from scarlet fever within the house. The footsteps, crying, and giggling of Baby Thomas have been reported by many visitors over the years.
Spectral Residents: Thomas, Anna, and other members of the Whaley family who lived and died in the house are believed to linger within its halls. Paranormal activities such as unexplained mists, lights turning on and off by themselves, and the swinging of crystals in the parlor room’s lamp have been reported by both visitors and paranormal investigators.
Exploring the Whaley House
The Whaley House offers a glimpse into San Diego’s past intertwined with ghostly phenomena. Guided tours provide an in-depth look into the history and hauntings associated with this historic landmark, allowing the brave to possibly encounter the spectral residents of the Whaley House.
Conclusion
As Day 18 of our Halloween series concludes, the Whaley House stands as a somber yet intriguing relic of San Diego’s past. Its walls hold tales of family, tragedy, and the supernatural, offering a hauntingly unique insight into the early days of San Diego. Venture into its halls, explore its haunted history, and perhaps, meet the ghosts of San Diego’s iconic Whaley House.

ON DA MAKING…
(still editing)
I met you on a dating site called "Tinder". The only old fashion guy that I talked there, very traditional. No daddy jokes nor flirtation words. Very well mannered guy. Out of all 10,000 guys I matched. You are the only guy I was really curious about. The picture I was really into you was you are in a ski outfit. I sensed that you are adventurous and fun because I'm not. GREEN FLAG! ✅ We exchanged numbers. We talked the whole night about music that we listen to. We both love old songs. However, there's a people noisy in the background. You told me that you were living with bunch of dudes that's why it is very loud. I know after that night we stopped talking. Your name on my message was flooded by other messages on my phone. I thought you sensed I was really weird. The Friday of middle of the month of October, when my friends invited me to go on a Halloween maze. I told Pat "Nope I'm not going there without a Halloween boo". You know how I'm a scary cat, I'm scared of everything. I remember that sunny day in Oceanside beach, me and Pat was sitting on a rock. I contacted five guys, including you. The navy dude, the friend of my friend, the friend of that friend, another navy dude and YOU. I sent the message "do you have plans tonight?". AND YOU are the only one who said "YES". Our first meeting was not that magical like in the fairytale books. It was a crazy night. I cannot forgot the night we saw each other, me and Pat was lost in the parking lot. I called you on the phone to lead us to the right entrance LOL. On a crowded place, I saw you standing beside the entrance sign. I'm 5'4 ft tall on a crowd, you can't barely see me but I saw you, there's no slow motion shit thingy but all I can hear is your voice, on my phone, ON A FUCKING THOUSAND OF PEOPLE AROUND ME. Shit feels like in the movie! While walking towards you, dude I was shaking not because I was shy but I'm scared for the haunted maze. It was an awkward situation while were on the line for the first maze. I know you were out-of-the-place with us. You re the only white guy on a group of filos but you were there standing patiently waiting. You are so manly to be on the front of the filo mafias. The first maze was the ice breaker. The second maze, you were on front of me. A 6'2 ft tall on the front of a 5'4 ft tall (IMAGINE THAT!) I feel secured and safe defending those monsters in the maze LOL GREEN FLAG ✅ After you defending me with those creepy creature, I invited you to go on a bar with us, my friends. And you said YES! We danced the whole night. Your hands on my hips and kissed on the dance floor HA HA HA HA HA HA Went to Tacos El Gordo YUMMMMM Fav! After the party, i invited you to join with us for a lil escape out-of-the-town, a lil border of CA AZ. You said you're gonna check if you can make it.
AND YOU KISSED ME GOOD NIGHT.
that was the first time happened to my entire pathetic existence that someone would respect me on a first date. A gentleman who doesn’t want a naked me LOL
The next day of 01:11PM you said: "Hey good news I can go"
CHAPTER TWO: UNTITLED
Two hours driving out of the city of San Diego, the longest ride I've ever had with a man on a car. It seems like a lil road-trip. Semi escape from busy America's finest city. We always said that travel to escape life but so life doesn't escape you. But it feels like you are now my lil escape. On our second date, you join us with my friends for an adventure trip at Glamis Sand Dunes. We watched the sun goes down, had our first picture together. You’re not a fan of pictures but HA HA HA HA I got you. We just met but it feels safe when I'm with you, I don’t know it feels like we’ve known for so long. We had Mcdickies while on the road. I had my favorite, of course chicken nuggets with medium fries, sprite, ranch and honey mustard YUMMM. You said you're already had Taco Bell, you good to go. You're not a fan of taking pictures but we had the most beautiful pictures. We looked like a couple but this is just our second date. We hold are hands through out our drive and trip. We pulled up into the parking lot of that noodle house in the town of Brawley. We had our first real kiss. We kissed like it's the end of the world. Driving back to deygo was so fast, we didn't noticed it's already on my apartment. It was the best date so far.
and you kissed me GOOD NIGHT!

Old Town San Diego State Park
TheOld Town San Diego State Park is a fascinating and captivating destination in California, providing visitors with an immersive experience of the country's rich history. The park features a plethora of historic buildings, including the Casa de Estudillo, a restored 19th-century Spanish mansion; the Seeley Stables Museum, which showcases the park's equestrian history; and the Whaley House, a well-preserved house that is believed to be haunted. The park also features various historical events, such as the founding of the first European settlement and the arrival of the first Spanish missionaries, which are brought to life through interactive exhibits and guided tours. You should visit this location.
The scooter needs to be back, according to San Diego.
After the last shared electric scooter company pulled out of San Diego, the city council has expressed their desire to bring back the popular mode of transportation. The exit of the company was attributed to the stringent regulations imposed by the city council, which included speed limits, mandatory staging areas, and restrictions on parking. The council members are now looking for ways to loosen the regulations while ensuring the safety of riders and pedestrians. Now, the city council wants the scooter back in San Diego, which I think would be beneficial in some ways to make a safer highway for scooters.
