Just because "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" was cancelled on September 3, 1966, didn't mean that Ozzie Nelson's adventures ended there. They continued even after he died of Liver Cancer on June 3, 1975 at the age of 69. The Nelson House, located at 1822 Camino Palmero Street in Hollywood, California has a reputation for being haunted by Ozzie's restless, watchfull and at times amorous ghost. He had been seen by the members of his family (now themselves deceased) in various rooms of the house, watching somberly and no doubt feeling cheated in death even though he lived a healthy life.

When new owners bought the house later that same year and moved in, it wasn't long before they heard footsteps. Faucets and lights turned on and off, seeming to have a life of their own. Doors would open and close at will, by an unseen hand. The woman living there also felt a strong, loving and obviously sexually excited presence beside her in bed several times and it was not the presence of her husband. After feeling her breats kissed and fondled, the owners had had enough. They packed up and departed, never to return. In 1994, a painter who was working inside the house, kept hearing foot steps. One day while painting, he felt a strong unseen presence next to him. Looking over, he saw a white, misty form floating next to him, perhaps inspecting his work. It wasn't hostile, just seemed to be interested, like a home owner would act. It was enough for him. He downwed his stuff and quit on the spot.

In the twenty years that have passed which only seems like a few minutes to those on the Other Side, the house has changed hands many times because of the ghostly manifestations. A Parapsychologist has investigated reports of paranormal activity there. A Journalist who has been by the house to investigate the ghostly happenings says that he doesn't believe in ghosts and is convinced that someone has been pranking new owners of the property.
For almost 40 years? Not likely.
