The historic Sierra Sky Ranch is home to several residents who have checked in and never checked out! First, there is Elmer. One story says that as he was chopping wood one day under the back tree, the ax slipped from his hands and severed the main artery in his leg. The other story states that he was distraught over his home being sold off and having nowhere else to go, he hung himself from the back tree. Whatever the case may be, Elmer now haunts the area around the tree where he died.
Sometime in the 1930's the ranch was converted to a tuberculosis hospital (this is the time that the hotel wing was built onto the original ranch house). A woman named Sarah, who was a nurse at the hospital, was in charge of two young children who had contracted the deadly disease. Unfortunately, both children died from the disease and soon after Sarah followed. Guests have reported hearing children running up and down the halls late at night only to find out from the hotel staff that there are no children guests there. Witnesses have also reported seeing a woman peering out from both the ground floor and the loft windows, as if she is watching someone.
During World War 2 the property was converted to a rehabilitation hospital for wounded Army soldiers. There have been recent reports of a soldier seen in the hotel's library area, still in uniform.
In any case, if you have the time, stop by the restrauant and enjoy a good meal. If you are lucky (or maybe unlucky) you may spot one of the ghosts. It is also rumored that the cache itself is haunted as there have been reports of geocachers wandering around the area late at night not wanting to accept a DNF. Are they alive or ghosts????
The cache is on private property with the owner's permission and you have plenty of room to park. Watch out for ghosts.
