The Blue Lady is the ghost of a woman reportedly seen in and around the Moss Beach Distillery Cafe in Moss Beach, California; she is so-named because she usually dressed all in blue. She is said to originate from the Prohibition era.
When the Distillery (known in its early years as "Frank's Place", after its builder and owner, Frank Torres) was first built in 1927, it was one of the main receivers of alcohol that was smuggled into California from ships that supplied liquor from Canada; following Prohibition, the San Francisco area, among other places in the United States, smuggled alcohol into the country in any way possible. As Frank's Place was located on an isolated bluff and was a classy restaurant, it was allegedly never raided by police. Whatever the story, the Blue Lady still frequents the Moss Beach Distillery, sometimes inside the cafe, sometimes wandering in reverie on the bluffs that overlook the sea, her clothing either bloodstained and cut, or intact and clean. The cache is hidden in the parking lot of the Moss Beach Distillery. This parking lot also serves as a scenic overlook. Combined this means HEAVY MUGGLE ACTIVITY (and it is visible from the back of the Distillery where the kitchen staff takes breaks). THIS IS A VERY VERY BUSY AREA (SORRY) SO EXTREME STEALTH IS IMPORTANT TO AVOID PATRONS, STAFF, NEIGHBORS, DOG WALKERS, VIEW SEEKERS AND OTHERS, There is a real $1 for the FTF and a real $0.25 for the STF (OK, we are cheap). Some fake gold coins and insects for all others. Stop by, sign the log and watch out for ghosts and other spirits (definitely some spirits in the bar). Also, really cool....the Distillery is dog friendly, so bring the mutts and enjoy the back patio complete with fire pits and blankets with a great Pacific view! Congrats to the Voucher for FTF! (
