The Strangest House in Santa Cruz OR Bizarre Lessons in Kitchen Design!
New Year! New Season! New weird topics! We start 2026 by looking at the history (and mysteries) surrounding an unusual house built in the 1940s in Santa Cruz, California. We look into the stories surrounding Kenneth Kitchen who built this structure (which you can drive by and see even today!) and the legends that quickly built up around this incredible home.
