Web Find: CreepyLA’s Map of Haunted Los Angeles

I don’t remember how I found this site, but it offers a very thorough list of haunt spots throughout Los Angeles. It seems like they’re not that interested in spreading it beyond Los Angeles though, who knows maybe they will in the future.

Site Update

Here’s a brief rundown of what’s new:

  • New images in nearly all sections, mainly Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego.
  • Each story has its proper book reference, and it’s linked to Amazon in case you’re curious enough.
  • Clicking on the link for ‘Location’ should take you to a google map view of it.

I’ve still got plenty of stories to upload, keep an eye out.

This adobe was the scene of a home-invasion robbery in which the thieves got away with some $35,000 in gold, as well as a pair of earrings literally ripped from the ears of Teodora Olivas, the matriarch. The spirit is believed to be that of one of the Olivas daughters, Dominga, who died during childbirth, but could possibly beTeodora herself. The apparition can be seen wearing a black-dress roaming the grounds. Note: Special thanks go to Richard Senate and Ventura Historian, Glenda Jackson, in regards to this story.
