The Final Chapter: Returning to the Heart of the Haunting
In the gripping season finale of “Is it Haunted?”, Eric and Nena bring their journey full circle. They returned to the very place that ignited their passion for the paranormal: The Cosmopolitan Hotel and Restaurant in Old Town San Diego.
What started as a curiosity sparked by an episode of Ghost Adventures turned into a five-year obsession. When they first stepped onto the creaky floorboards of the “Cosmo,” they quickly realized that the activity here wasn’t just “made for TV”—it was terrifyingly real.
A Legacy of Spirits
Built in the late 1820s as a home for Juan Bandini and later transformed into a hotel and stagecoach station, the Cosmopolitan is a architectural crossroads of San Diego history. But as Eric and Nena reveal in their chilling finale, the hotel’s past guests haven’t all checked out.
Compelling Evidence: 5 Years in the Making
This isn’t just a single night’s investigation. Eric and Nena have compiled half a decade of evidence that challenges everything we know about the afterlife.
- The Lady in Red: A recurring figure seen wandering the balcony and guest rooms. Many believe she is a former resident still waiting for a lover to return.
- The Phantom Cat: One of the most unique reports involves a “ghost cat” that guests feel brushing against their legs in the dining area, only to look down and find nothing there.
- Room 11 & 4: These rooms are the epicenters of activity. During their stay, Eric and Nena experienced lights flickering on command and heavy, localized cold spots that seemed to track their movement.
Shaken to the Core
The duo admits that their first visit left them shaken. Unlike the controlled environment of a film set, the “Cosmo” offers a raw, unpredictable energy. In the video, you can see the moment the skepticism fades and the realization sets in: this place is truly occupied.
From disembodied whispers caught on digital recorders to the feeling of being watched from the darkened corners of the restaurant, the evidence gathered over five years suggests that the Cosmopolitan is one of the most active paranormal locations on the West Coast.
Experience it for Yourself
Located at the edge of the Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, the Cosmopolitan Hotel still operates today. You can dine in the same rooms where Bandini hosted his grand balls or stay overnight in a room that might already have a permanent resident.
“We had to come back to where it all began,” Eric says in the finale. “The evidence doesn’t lie. The Cosmopolitan isn’t just a hotel; it’s a portal to the past.”
