Did George Reeves really take his own life with a single gunshot to the head or was his death part of a more sinister plot? Reeves, who is best known for his portrayal of Superman in the 1950s television show Adventures of Superman, died June 16, 1959 in his home at 1579 Benedict Canyon Dr Beverly Hills, CA 90210 -- just days before he was to marry socialite Leonore Lemmon. The night he died, he reportedly drank heavily and fought openly with Lemmon as witnessed by friends William Bliss, writer Robert Condon and Carol Van Ronkel. He went upstairs in a foul mood and shortly after, Lemmon and the guests say they heard a single gunshot from his bedroom. Though ruled a suicide, many people refuse to believe he killed himself, due to strange findings in the crime scene. There have been reports that the Reeves’ house being haunted with inexplicable noises in the upstairs bedroom and the smell of gunpowder, plus belongings being moved around. There are also stories of dogs standing in the doorway barking and refusing to enter the room as well as lights flickering on and off. Some even say George Reeves appears at the foot of the bed every now and then, dressed as Superman. Makes for a good story. Members, if money were no object, would you buy a house said to be haunted?
