Ed (last name unknown) is a Wraith haunting the Ocean House Hotel in Santa Monica.
Biography[]
Ed was described as "sweet, but jealous" by his wife in her personal diary. Several diaries entries indicate that Ed suffered some sort of mental break while staying at the Ocean House Hotel in 1958, obsessing over the pendant his wife wore daily, believing it to be from an admirer. In truth, the pendant was a gift from her mother.
According to the diaries, Ed became increasingly aggressive, silent and brooding as their vacation went on, only speaking to interrogate his wife about the pendant. He seemed to light up when speaking to the hotel groundskeeper, however, which his wife attributes to "boys and their toys". It is safe to assume Ed got the axe he would later use to murder his family from the groundskeeper or his toolshed.
On June 5, Ed brutally murdered his wife and children and then set the Ocean House on fire. His ghost remained at the scene of the crime, and he actively harasses anyone attempting to investigate the property, in order to keep the ghost of his wife there as well. Upon purchasing the Ocean House in 2004, Therese Voerman hired a fledgeling to investigate the haunting in hopes to exorcising Ed's ghost.
