Haunted Paramount House Finally Solved By Electrician
In Paramount a longtime haunted house on Vermont Drive near Alondra baffled residents with nightly footstep noises. Harold Fout known as Shorty the electrician, traced the sounds to an old 1910 era door bell transformer. When it heated it vibrated a gas pipe under the hall floor creating moving footsteps every 65 minutes. Removing the transformer stopped the noises and pleased the custodian.
