Haunted Brookdale Lodge
I have been interested for sometime in the Haunted Brookdale Lodge specifically for the 6 year old girl who died there and the 13 year old. I hope to at some point begin to paint a series based on little girl ghosts within their historic settings. Below is a brief overview of Brookdale Lodge and some of its manifestations.
Nestled deep in the Santa Cruz Mountains lies the historic Brookdale lodge. Surrounded by giant redwoods, Brookdale Lodge was originally opened in 1870 as the headquarters of the Grover Lumber Mill. The mill was purchased by H.J. Logan of Loganberry fame in 1900 and was converted into campgrounds and a hotel. Since then the lodge has passed through numerous hands.
Between 1922 and 1945 the lodge was operated by Dr. F. K. Camp, a Seventh-day Adventist physician and a strict prohibitionist. It was Camp that built the magnificent Brookroom, a dining room that encloses a natural stream flowing down its center. This was the lodge's heyday. The Brookdale was the second most popular resort in California and played host to Hollywood stars, prominent families, foreign diplomats, and even a U.S. President. Famous persons passing through Brookdale Lodge included: Mae West, Marilyn Monroe, Tyrone Power, Joan Crawford, Rita Hayworth, Hedy Lamarr, and President Herbert Hoover. The lodge was also famous for its first rate entertainment, attracting the best big band and swing groups of the era. There are at least three swing era songs written about the Brookdale including, My Brookdale Hideaway, A Place known as Brookdale, and Beautiful Brookdale Lodge.
Shortly before his death, Dr. Camp sold the property in 1945 to A. T. Cook and W. G. Smith. In 1951 it was again sold to a consortium of San Francisco businessmen and then to Barney Marrow, who also owned the Brookdale Inn across the highway.
It was in the '40's and '50's that the lodge entered its most intriguing period, becoming a home for gangsters and other shady characters. Secret passageways and hidden rooms were installed throughout the lodge and rumors of buried bodies under the floor began to circulate. Also during this time, six year old Sarah Logan, the niece of the lodge owner, drowned in the dining room creek. It's her ghost that is most often seen at the Brookdale. But Sarah wasn't the only watery death at the lodge. In 1972, a 13 year old girl drowned in the kidney shaped pool above the mermaid room forcing its closure.
Over the years there have been many sightings of little Sarah Logan. She is often seen in a white and blue Sunday dress walking through the lobby or near the fireplace between the lounge and Brookroom. She has also been seen playing on the balcony of the Brookroom, an area off limits to visitors and guests, and sitting beside the fire in the Fireside Room.
Some have even been approached by the crying Sarah asking if they could help her find her mother. As they turn to look for the little girl's mother, Sarah vanishes. The sightings aren't limited to visitors. The owners of Brookdale Lodge have also seen Sarah running about the lodges' lobby. From their description, Sarah was, "very clear, like a whole person" and wore a 1940's style formal dress. She ran silently across the lobby for about five seconds before disappearing through the office window.

Tōryanse
You may go in, you may enter
Which way is this narrow pathway?
This is the narrow pathway of the Tenjin shrine
Please allow me to go through
Those without good reason shall not pass
To celebrate the 7th birthday of this child
We've come to dedicate our offering
Going in may be easy, but returning would be scary
It's scary, but
You may go in, You may pass through
Long ago there were people who were very poor
that they did not even have rice to eat
in those homes it was such a terrible thing that children had nothing to eat
that their fathers and mothers would kill them before they starved to death.
This is the song of those poor children who were carried away by their mothers to be killed.
It turned out to be scarier for the mother
Because the soul of the murdered child would always follow her.

Malicious Delicious (Book) by Scott Ferry
by Scott Ferry
Malicious Delicious gathers from Scott Ferry's current series of artwork leading the viewer down a road into the liminal space where life and death mix and a hallucinatory other world opens up. This in-between space and the gateways that lead to and from it have always permeated his work in many ways. The shade of what happens after death, the separation and the loss of things held dear, the entities that live between this world and that and the possibility of metamorphosing into a more flexible nature. Cute and visually dangerous his work travels the subtle line where deeper investigation leads to deep meanings behind each piece.
This book also includes texts by Scott Ferry detailing his introspection on each artwork and interesting incites from contributors around the world on his unique approach and its effects on them.
Scott grew up on the border of Orange County and Los Angeles. He now lives and creates in Montreal, Canada.
"Since I was a kid i have been interested in haunted places, spirits, magick, alternate realities, and childhood wonders. Each of these marks my artwork and life in various ways."
