Two ghosts are known to haunt Ventura City Hall, the first is the possible ghost of “Ma” Duncan, a lady convicted of killing an in-law. Her spirit is known to be focused mostly on making life uncomfortable for police officers and is blamed for unusual malfunctions with the chamber’s emergency telephone line. The other spirit is an as-yet unidentified ghost lady who is dressed in blue clothing from the 1940’s. She has been seen lingering near the doors of the third-floor elevator.

The lone spirit of an 18th century aristocrat roams the grounds of City Hall pestering city officials in the restroom as well as causing disturbances during council meetings.
