The Ghost Of Superman
To this day mystery still surrounds the death of televisions “Man of Steel” George Reeves (1914-1957), who starred in the television series Superman (1950-1957). Numerous witnesses have claimed to have seen Reeves restless spirit in the home on Benedict Canyon Drive where his body was discovered. Although Reeve's death on June 16th 1959, was ruled a suicide by the medical examiner, friends, relatives, and thousands of the actors fans still insist to this day he was murdered. Singer Don McLean wrote the song “Superman's Ghost” in tribute to the anguish experienced by those who still mourn the actor.
People have reported seeing Reeves’s ghost wearing a bathrobe much like the one he was wearing the night of his death. One couple who have the time had no idea about the history of 1579 Benedict Canyon Drive, ended up moving out suddenly in the middle of the night after confronting the spirit of a man who when they described him sounded a lot like Reeves. Other former occupants have claimed to have seen Reeves ghost in the middle of the night dressed in his full Superman costume, cape blowing in some form of nonexistent breeze.
Reeves body was exhumed and cremated in 1961 forever destroying any possible forensic evidence that would prove definitively if his suspicious death was murder or just a tragic suicide. An interesting note there were note documented reports of any ghostly activities inside of the home until after Reeves was cremated. Could the ghostly phenomena in the home lend credence that the actor was murdered and the police botched investigation or possibly covered it up? It's highly possible as a spirit of a murder victim who’s killer is never identified may feel as if it’s necessary to stay on and hopefully find a way to communicate exactly who it was they killed them and possibly even why. It may sound strange but even spirits need closure.
