It is no secret in Hollywood that Joan was a hard woman to get along with. She lived in a house in Brentwood at 426 Bristol Avenue. It was here that all the events from "Mommie, Dearest" went down.
Christina and her brother reported seeing the ghosts of children in the house and hearing voices in the dark. Joan scolded them for being bad, that is, until she too started hearing them.
She was diagnosed with cancer in 1974 and became a recluse.
On the day of her death while one of her care-takers started saying a rosary, Crawford looked at the woman and said, "Damn it, don't you dare ask God to help me!"
She died shortly afterward.
A couple of days later for some unknown reaon, the wall that was behind Joan's bed erupted into flames. The house has been said to be haunted. (Oh, really?)
The house was sold to Donald O'Commor who them sold it to Anthony Newley and his wife.
Even the new owners could feel an evil presence in the house. They contacted Rev. Rosalyn Bruyere and asked her to come and cleanse the house.
After arriving on the house and going from room to room, she told the current residents that the house was a hive of "conspicuous negative energy" and that negative spirits and entities came to the house....to "feed".
She came to the conclusion that the spitis in the house were purposely trying to destroy it because the house held "a terrifying secret" and they were trying desperately to keep it hidden.
