Submitted by Scott Spencer from Killeen, TX. On January 28, I went out to Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in Culver City to take some pics of some celebrity graves. I got pictures of the graves of Sharon Tate, Bing Crosby, Bela Lugosi, Rita Hayworth, Rosalind Russell and wanted to get pictures of several others. As I was searching (in vain) for the grave of Mr. Jimmy Durante, I happened to look to my left and [...]
On August 25th, the LAGP team ventured into one of the more exclusive private clubs in Los Angeles, a club dedicated to fostering the ancient art of magic: the world famous Magic Castle. Open to guests of member magicians or those lucky enough to be given a one-night pass, the Magic Castle offers dinner and magic shows in three different theatres – the Palace of Mystery, the Parlour of Prestidigitation [...]
The Security Bank Building stands at the corner of Spring & 5th in downtown Los Angeles. Built in 1906, it was the tallest building in LA until 1911. In the late 1950s or early 60s, the financial district moved from the area, the bank closed and the building fell into disrepair. Designated a Historic Cultural Landmark in 2003, the building has since been renovated and now houses upscale lofts. However, [...]
The first week of November 2010, Tyler, Carol and I drove up to Altadena for an investigation of the old Cobb Estate, or what is locally referred to as the Haunted Forest. It sits on 107 acres at the top of Lake Avenue in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. Because it is part of the Angeles National Forest, the estate is open 24/7, and it hosts numerous night [...]
Having just had a conversation about IR lights with someone from another investigative team, I realized I should call attention to our “how-to” instructions detailing the conversion of a Sima infrared light to battery power. The Sima IR lights throw a wide beam of light compared to the comparable Sony IR model which is spot heavy and leaves you with video where the edges go to black. The greatest drawback [...]
Last Friday night the LAGP team ventured into the haunted hallways of the famed Linda Vista Hospital. Located southeast of downtown LA in what can best be described as a dangerous neighborhood, we were given a 15 minute window to arrive and be let in the locked chain link gates surrounding the property. I don’t know which was more frightening: the prospect of the night’s investigation or this warning! Linda [...]
Probably one of Southern California’s most famous haunted locations, the Queen Mary sits permanently docked in Long Beach and caters to tourists and conventioneers. Walking its historic decks, one tries to imagine its former lives as both a luxury oceanliner (it’s larger than the doomed Titantic) and a World War II military troop transport nicknamed the Grey Ghost.Before the sun went down, we explored the public decks on our own, [...]

 Sherman Oaks ApartmentA friend of a friend put the LAGP in touch with the landlord of a small Sherman Oaks apartment complex. The landlord was perplexed by tenants repeatedly moving out of a specific second floor unit. The two women who had been living there last broke their lease and moved out suddenly in mid-January, insisting that the apartment was haunted. They reported hearing footsteps and a male voice speaking their names, [...] |

 Devil’s Gate: A Portal to Hell?The last Friday in April, the LAGP packed up our gear, jumped in the ghost mobile and headed out to La Cañada/Pasadena area to investigate the infamous Devil’s Gate Dam. Why I’m calling this location infamous is a bit of a history lesson, so read on. Devil’s Gate is named for the appearance of a horned devil face in a narrow canyon of the Arroyo Seco, a natural riverbed flowing [...] |
 Propaganda Films BuildingIn mid-March, we were fortunate to be able to investigate the historic former Propaganda Films building in Hollywood. Movie buffs will recognize Propaganda as the early home of music video & commercial directors turned major filmmakers David Fincher, Michael Bay and Spike Jonze, among others. Today the building is used by a production company as a workshop and studio. Carol did some research into the building and discovered that the [...] |
 Pasadena’s Suicide BridgeAfter a crazy week at work, what better way to lift our collective spirits than to head over to Pasadena to investigate the infamous Colorado Street Bridge, which is locally known as Suicide Bridge due to the hundred or so people who have jumped from it to their deaths below. It was a chilly night and Carol had brought along some hot tea. Also joining us was our friend Lenora, [...] |
