Wildomar Movie Ranch
01/10/2024
Back in 2019, Wildomar Movie Ranch was granted a personal tour and filming of The "then closed" Hotel Jeffery and Magnolia Saloon in Coulterville CA.
Coulterville, in the1850s was considered the west coast gateway to Yosemite, and the Jeffery, its only hotel.
The hotel entertained a U.S. President, a Queen, Novelists, Poets, Statesmen, Outlaws, Hollywood Celebrities, and even author, Helen Keller.
And most currently, the Jeffery is occupied by 17 individual spirits. Yep, the hotel is considered one of the most haunted places in the U.S..
After I had the cameras set and the realtor for the hotel and previous owner, an actor gentleman, and me, were ready to head inside, a county official appeared and said we could NOT go in, the location had just been "Red Tagged".
Great, a 400-mile trip for nothing!
So, I was directed to go over to the diner and wait. Oh boy. It appeared I was to be a part of a covert op!
I got a call on my cell phone directing me to a rear "non red tagged entrance".
Anyway, you can find the tour on YouTube under, CK Sussman, Celebrity Ghost Hunting inside The Hotel Jeffery, Coulterville, California.
But at the end I took the opportunity to sit down at the piano the entertained many, including Jesse and Frank James, and play for a few minutes!
So, in around 2019 we filmed a little western clip to showcase our 107 acre Wildomar Movie Ranch contract property.
When this was viewed by the published children's book author, "Professor Kids-brary" or Heidi Simmons I received a call.
Heidi asked, "When did you start working with Poe's Great Grandson?
"My response, "Heidi, what are you talking about???
"When she explained, she told me to look at the face of Dylan Walker, and then compare to Poe's face.
She went on to say, the bone structure, the cleft in his chin, even the facial lines were the same.
There it was!
Unbelievable!!!
That night I wrote the concept for "You may call me Reynolds", giving Dylan the role of Edgar Allan Poe!
