Linda Vista Community Hospital- Los Angeles, CA




By now, the name says it all. Linda Vista Hospital in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, is an attraction for paranormal enthusiasts and investigators. It was first built in 1904 and was known at the time as The Santa Fe Coast Lines Hospital for injured railroad workers. It was a state of the art medical facility. Over time, it became the Linda Vista Community Hospital. The hospital was running smoothly until the 1970’s and 80’s when it truly became the hospital of horrors.
Since it’s around the rougher parts of Los Angeles, the hospital attracted patients who were victims of gang shootings, stabbings, and beatings. It is said that that is the reason for the hospitals hauntings. Being in a tour of Linda Vista back in November 2011, there were old patient records lying around everywhere, indicating that the staff just picked up and left. You just had the feeling that this stagnant energy added to the hospitals hauntings. Linda Vista had many lawsuits against it since many deaths occurred there. The doors closed in 1991.
When you go into the boiler room, the energy there just doesn’t feel right. It’s like a draining, demotivated, and depressed feeling. If you look around the room enough, you find out why. There is a box down there that is full of human ashes. What was bizarre is that the hospital attracted many John and Jane Does. The hospital didn’t know what to do with these deceased bodies, so they burned them in the incinerator and forgot about them. It’s believed that this is the main reason for the buildings hauntings. In the afterlife, it’s a disastrous thing to not get closure to your life as a physical being. In March 2012, I was in this part of the hospital with my KII EMF meter. I asked a series of questions not getting any responses. I then asked if the whole box of human ash was the reason for Linda Vista’s hauntings. I then got a spike on my EMF detector. There’s no source of electricity in that area of the boiler room, so that response was a big deal.
Apparently, many surgeries had been improperly done. A guaranteed recipe for angry, sad, and confused spirits. One night, back in the 1980s, a Los Angeles gang member was shot and rushed to Linda Vista. A man by the name of Dr. Edwards was in charge of the surgery. Dr. Edwards had done everything in his power to save this gang members life. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. When Dr. Edwards left the building to go home, he was confronted by the gang in the parking lot and was shot to death.
Not only is Linda Vista a hospital, it’s also a psychiatric ward. Room 323 is the paranormal hot spot of this building. A demonic entity roams around in this room. This entity has been known to growl at and physically abuse people. Paranormal investigators have been scratched on the back when going into room 323. Also, when ghost hunters leave this room, the entity forcefully pushes them out. I was with a group of people in this room trying to get something out of this demonic entity. Of course, demons being the tricksters, it didn’t respond. However, there was a strange green light that was shining on the wall. I thought I was the only one that caught it, but my group caught it as well. Where room 323 is, it was strange to see a green light where we saw it in the room.
The surgical suite on the first floor is supposed to be the most terrifying part of the hospital. It’s also the room where Nick Groff of Ghost Adventures saw the manifestation of a girl. I started an EVP session and had my KII meter on to see if my group and I could capture any evidence of this girl. Nothing was captured on those devices, however there was a lot of noise coming from the room where she showed herself. I asked if there was a little that wanted to communicate. A tapping noise came from the room. I then asked if she was making the tapping noise. Another noise came from the room. I then asked my group to look in the hallway and see if anything was there. They went out into the hallway and saw nothing. I then asked if she was trapped at Linda Vista. Noises were coming from another room. I’m not sure if it was her or other people in my group, but it’s an interesting coincidence how the noise happened after I asked.
The locals that live near Linda Vista say it closed down because patients weren’t being treated properly. The hospital did have an unusually high death rate. It has been over 20 years since the hospital has closed down. However, it’s currently being converted into senior housing by the new owners. Currently, the new owners aren’t allowing any more investigations. Is this a wise idea of the new owners? Wouldn’t a renovated Linda Vista make the hauntings more potent? I think if Linda Vista is going to be renovated, the spirits trapped there need some sort of closure, and that lies in the help of paranormal investigators.

The Roosevelt Hotel- Hollywood, CA




When hotels and Los Angeles come to mind, you can’t help but think of The Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, CA. It’s one of Los Angeles county’s most historic sites. Since May 15,1927, it’s been of great service to movie stars and tourists. Interestingly, two of Hollywood’s biggest movie stars during this time who have passed on to the after life, are seen here today. Also, there are reports of paranormal activity throughout the hotel.
Montgomery Clift stayed here for three months in 1953 for his role in the movie “From Here to Eternity.” Today, it is said that his ghost resides in room 928 on the 9th floor of the Roosevelt. Guests that have stayed in this room have reported that their luggage has been moved around without being touched. One woman claimed that she woke up in the middle of the night while staying in room 928 and saw a man in a top hat and a suit sitting on her luggage looking out the window. Witnesses have said that he is either seen in the hallway rehearsing his lines for his movie, or playing a trumpet.
In suite 1200, guests that have stayed in this room have reported seeing the ghost of Marilyn Monroe. This room use to be her poolside suite. She has been seen many times in a full-length mirror in this room. One of the most notable incidents happened in December 1985, when a maid by the name of Suzanne Leonard was dusting the room. She went to clean the mirror when suddenly she saw a blonde woman standing behind in the mirror. When she turned around, she was gone. The mirror now sits next to the elevator on the lower level.
These two famous ghosts aren’t the only ones that haunt the Roosevelt Hotel. Apparently, there’s more paranormal activity going on in this famous hotel. On the same day the maid Suzanne Leonard saw a full body apparition of what appeared to be Marilyn Monroe, a man named Alan Russell, who was a personal assistant to the general manager at the time, discovered something strange in The Blossom Ballroom. He was sweeping the floor when he suddenly felt a very cold spot in the room. He called it to other employees attention and they couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. Psychics that have been here claim that a man in black clothing haunts this room. No one has been able to identify who this could be. Paranormal investigators believe that this coldspot is some kind of portal. People have also said that they’ve seen apparitions dancing in here as well as Marilyn Monroe’s. Perhaps it’s a portal for actors to dance at the Roosevelt.
We couldn’t end this paranormal detour of the Roosevelt without stopping by room Cabana Room 213 first. This is reported to be the most haunted room in the entire hotel. Front desk employees usually report on a regular basis that people check out in the middle of the night because the activity is so potent. They’re intuitions tell that something is very wrong with the room. About ten people have reported seeing a headless apparition coming at them. Guests have also said that the TV and sink in the bathroom turns on and off, as well as the coffee maker making strange rattling noises. Apparently, rumor is that a ghost hunter caught an EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) of a spirit screaming “Someone died here!”
The Roosevelt Hotel has quite the history and quite the hauntings. Come visit this historic site on 7000 Hollywood Blvd. in Hollywood, CA. if you’re visiting the Los Angeles area. Maybe you’ll see the ghost’s of Hollywood’s most famous actors.

Kinneloa Mesa- Altadena, CA




Up north towards the mountains of Pasadena, California, there is an area well known for it’s stories of the haunted forest and gravity hill. Both are in the same vicinity and are coincidentally haunted. What most people don’t know is that there is a third haunting within the same area. All of these hauntings are within three miles of with each other. The Haunted Forest and Gravity Hill are about a mile apart and the third is about two miles away from Gravity Hill. It is unknown what this third haunting is, however. It’s very mysterious. It’s a burnt-down building in the hills off of New York Dr. Some people say that it used to be an insane asylum. Some say it was a hospital. Either way, having a hospital or an asylum in this neighborhood doesn’t seem to make sense since it’s residential.
I first heard about this haunting in January, 2008, when I was hanging out with some friends of mine. We were talking about the local hauntings such as Suicide Bridge and The Haunted Forest. A friend of one of my companions had mentioned this third haunting. His friend said she was checking out the site of the third haunting, a burned down building, by herself. As she was investigating, she heard a deep, frightening voice call out her name. When that happened, she left immediately. After hearing about this, we wanted to go check it out.
Upon arriving, as we parked, a dog from across the street kept barking at us. The thing was, we weren’t on it’s property and we were walking away from it towards the burnt-down building. It seemed as if the dog was warning us not go over there. About five minutes later, we found some stairs that led down into a room. There was an uneasy feeling that suddenly came over me. We turned on our flashlights and found some disturbing graffiti work. We found something on the wall that said “save you”, along with some creepy faces. After looking around some more, my friend called my attention to something. There was a pentagram painted on the floor. During that time, my body went from feeling like we were in a meat locker, to burning hot. It was 40 degrees that night.
There was no doubt in our minds that satanic worship had taken place on this property. I started to think that this occult activity might be part of the reason for the area’s hauntings. We also found a quote on the wall that said “The dog is the father.” I didn’t know what that meant at the time. Then my friend told me that Satanists call God, “dog” because it’s God spelled backwards. An uneasy feeling came over me with goosebumps spreading on my arms. The energy of this place just got more intense.




As we continued the investigation, we captured some great EVP’s. The first one was of a girl’s voice. Keep in mind that there were no girls
with us on this investigation. It happened as I was photographing this place. We were talking amongst each other when suddenly a girl’s voice showed up on the digital recorder and said “I think I dropped my phone.........Hey!” Another one came up when my friend asked if any spirits had any last words. A chilling voice responded “Yes” immediately. The last EVP is probably the most interesting because it ties in with the first EVP. Another friend of mine asked “Are there any spirits that would like to say some final words to us at this time?” A women’s voice responded immediately saying “Don’t call her, all right?”







This got me thinking if there was a connection between the girl and the woman. Did this girl that said she dropped her phone need help? Why did this woman say not to call her? It seemed like this woman wants to keep this girl from moving on in the spirit world. It feels as if she may be a malevolent spirit. It made me wonder if this girl’s cell phone was somewhere around this burnt-down building.
After going back there a few times with different groups, I was never able to find anything or capture any additional evidence. The history of this place is still unknown. All I know is that people claim that it used to be an insane asylum. Is this mysterious place still haunted? I’d say that it still is.

Kinneloa Mesa Summary

-Unknown what it really was. All we know for now is that it was an Asylum that burnt down.
-Pentagram found indicating satanic rituals have been done here. Possible portal opened.
-Found the quote "The dog is the father." Dog is God spelled backwards and satanists do this.
-Odd temperature rises occur here.
-Connection between EVP 1 & 3. EVP 1- "I think I dropped my phone.....HEY!" EVP 3 Don't call her, all right?

The One Eyed Gypsy- Los Angeles, CA


Spirits With Spirits 



113 years is a long to be around. That’s how long The One Eyed Gypsy in Downtown Los Angeles has been around for. Since 1899, This bar has been quite the place for a drink and a social gathering. Rumor is it’s quite the place for a ghostly encounter as well.
During the late hours at the bar, workers claim to be touched, pushed, and pinched by spirits. They’ve also heard voices calling out to them in empty rooms. Things also turn on and off by themselves like the lights, and the faucets in the restrooms, as well as doors opening and closing by themselves. The men’s restroom is said to be the most active part of the bar. One witness claimed to have seen something truly remarkable. G.H.O.U.L.A. (Ghost Hunters of Urban Los Angeles) reported that this crown that’s on the head of a stature that no one can get to, flew across the room and hit someone in the head. I’m sure that guy didn’t find it remarkable at the time.
The bar has been around for over a 100 years, so it’s no surprise that there would be some sort of paranormal activity going on here. The bar was a brothel (A place where men can visit prostitutes) at one time. Unfortunately, the building burned down killing everyone that was inside. It’s also served as a saloon, a biker bar and has been used for bootlegging operations during prohibition.
It’s been reported that there have been numerous murders and incidents that have taken place at this bar. There was one that was more recent back in 2006 when a fight had flared up leading to gunshots outside the entrance of the bar. One person was murdered.
The staff believes that The One Eyed Gypsy is haunted by a female spirit. They think it’s either a madam or a waitress that was murdered. People also think that it could be a girl by the name of Anna Feliz. In 1902, she had committed suicide two blocks away because she had been working while she was very ill. People think it was a botched abortion, which happened often with women who worked in Brothels. There’s rumor that a man also haunts the bar. There was only one murder that had been reported in this bar, and that was back in 1906 when a man was shot in the barroom. There’s also the possibility that it could be a man that jumped off the 1st street bridge, which is just up the street from the bar, or a man who was poisoned. Then again, I’m sure it’s possible that any of these things could have happened in the past 100 years.
With all of that history being said, The One Eyed Gypsy is truly a unique bar of it’s own in the great city of Los Angeles with a great selection of interesting cocktails to choose from. Come have a spirit and talk about the spirits of the One Eyed Gypsy with the staff!

Los Angeles Gravity Hill- Altadena, CA



On Loma Alta Dr. in Altadena, sits a strange road. Many people know it as Gravity Hill. When you’re on this road, You’re supposed to put your car into neutral and it will start rolling up hill. This is strange because when you put your car on neutral on this kind of road, you’re suppose to go backwards because you're up hill. What’s even more intriguing is if you put baby powder on the hood or the trunk of your car, there are suppose to be fingerprints on it. Why is it that car’s get pushed up this mysterious hill? The history is unclear, but there are a few stories that explain what might have happened.
One story indicates that a girl and her friends had taken her parents car without permission and took it out for a joy ride. However, an unfortunate event occurred when the girl lost control of the car and crashed on the hill. It is said that their spirits are the ones that help you avoid a fatal car crash on the hill. The other story involves a school bus full of children. A school bus was driving on Gravity Hill when the driver lost control and everyone on the bus died. People believe that the kids on the bus help push your car up the hill to avoid an accident. The last story involves an Indian who was killed while pulling his carriage down the hill. Now his spirit remains there with intention of pulling you away from the hill.
I had been on this hill many times to show friends and people curious of the paranormal. I’ve never really investigated the area until now. It appears that Gravity Hill has some intelligent spirits around the area. I had an EMF detector with me and it seemed this one spirt liked communicating with me through it. I asked questions like “Are you a spirit?” “Are you wondering why we’re here?” “Are you a male spirit?” This spirit responded intelligently to my questions by spiking my K-II meter. I felt though at that time, it was time to bring out the SB7 Spirit Box. First things first though. The baby powder test.
I parked my truck at the starting point of the hill and started spreading the baby powder on my bumper. After that, it was go time. I got in my truck and put it on neutral and sure enough, it was moving. What’s interesting is it seems the higher it gets up the hill, the more speed picks up. After that was done, I got out to see the results. I was disappointed to see there was nothing. I wouldn’t excuse this claim just yet. Perhaps the baby powder needs to be placed specifically. Now for the Spirit Box!
If you don’t know what the SB7 Spirit Box does, it sweeps through radio frequencies delivering continuous white noise allowing spirits to communicate with the living. The results from this were pretty interesting. I’ll mention the best ones. I asked if a spirit had been pushing my car up the hill. The response I got was “I drove.” I was driving, but did a spirit channel through me? The other question I asked was “what happened here?” Strangely, the response I got was “Nothing.” My last question was if there were any evil spirits. The Spirit Box picked up“Hey...there’s 8.” This was strange because I’ve never felt anything evil at Gravity Hill.
After the investigation, there are a few things to note. Are the stories about Gravity Hill just made up? Are there evil spirits there? In my opinion, further research needs to be conducted.

Investigations 



Gravity Hill is one of the most talked about hauntings in Los Angeles County. Many young people like to come here looking for a paranormal experience. Rumor is if you leave baby powder on your car, you'll see the finger prints of the children that apparently died in a bus crash on the hill. I did this and nothing happened, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened. People have reported that they have gotten finger prints on their car after attempting the baby powder experiment. Is Gravity Hill haunted? I gathered some interesting evidence on this investigation.
