This week’s question was who is/was Dona Petranilla
Feliz? Dona Petranilla Feliz was the
daughter of Don Feliz the owner of Rancho Los Feliz and, as the story goes,
currently haunts Griffith Park.
According to the aforementioned story, Don Feliz died when Petranilla
(who was blind) was 16. He left the
estate in the hands of Don Antonio Colonel in the belief that he would look
after her. He did not do this, leaving
Petranilla to fend for herself instead.
Petranilla cursed the unscrupulous guardian for this and misfortune
began befalling anyone associated with the estate.
