Former Belfast Hotel and Café del Mar

Ed at the Old Belfast Hotel

The old hotel and its paved grounds at the intersection on Sullivan Trail.

History & local legend

The former Belfast Hotel on Sullivan Trail became Café del Mar, with a restored restaurant and bar on the first floor. Staff called its elusive resident ghost Ed. Owner Miguel told visiting GhostBreakers investigators that he knew their stories but had not personally encountered the figure.

The team visited on a cold November weekend. Upstairs they found evidence of the building’s older uses, including photographs and a fire-blackened room. Beyond an open archway, another room appeared free of soot.

Their photographs contained numerous points of light, which they interpreted as orbs.
