Wolfe Manor in Clovis, California, is a favorite haunt for those searching for ghosts, but the 92 year old mansion is about to be demolished as it has been identified as dangerous.
Over the past five years police have responded to nearly a hundred calls and the house has been looted and even set on fire. City management stated that they have been asking the owner to clean up or improve the property for the last five years, but now they are moving to have it demolished.
Todd Wolfe has owned the mansion for 17 years and operated it as a Halloween attraction until neighbors’ complaints forced him to shut it down. He then opened it to ghost hunters but the city stopped that too.
He has asked for more time but the city has already hired an asbestos removal crew and plans to demolish the building.
The mansion started out as a private residence in 1922. After the original owner died an untimely death, it was subsequently turned into a hospital and sanitarium. Later it became a mental hospital and a nursing home. Many people died in the building over the years, which is why it has been featured in several “Ghost Hunter” type television programs.
If you have been diagnosed with asbestos a related disease, you may be entitled to monetary compensation. Contact the Law Office of Brayton Purcell, LLP at (800) 598-0314 immediately, or contact us online for a free consultation.
