Canfield-Moreno Estate - Alleged Haunting

Alleged Haunting

My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way describes in the song Sleep a "night terror" he experienced while recording at the Paramour Mansion. He describes a feeling of being strangled, and says he couldn't wake up or move. He has also claimed in interviews that in his night terrors he saw Joan of Arc burning as well as his loved ones dying. During the band's stay at the house, they came across a painting of an angel above a fireplace. When a band member moved something, the painting was revealed to have a demon reaching for the angel's feet. Bassist Mikey Way became depressed whilst staying in the house so the band took the decision to remove him from the house. Drummer Bob Bryar also claimed that in the middle of the night, the bathtub in his bathroom would fill itself with water.

Papa Roach's vocalist, Jacoby Shaddix, has said that he went down to Daisy's gravesite to sit and write the band's popular single Forever and had help and inspiration from Daisy's ghost. Their former drummer David Buckner also had some experiences there as well. "The whole property was completely f___ing haunted, and I saw it as a sanctioned opportunity for me to lose my mind—And I did exactly that. I was visited by inter-dimensional beings, had out-of-body sex with spirits from old Hollywood, learned how to see specters, and now know what it feels like to have a ghost walk through me. It's a very enlightening and inspiring experience, and something to check off the list." he said. They claim that while recording the track Crash off the album, every time they'd get to the lines "I'm going to crash", the power went out.
