Weird things in Los Angeles?

Question

I am looking for weird, spooky or interestingly odd things to explore and see in the Los Angeles area. Anyone know of anything like this?

Answer 1

Museum of Jurassic Technology on Venice Blvd. is a weird strange place.

Answer 2

from what i hear south central and compton can be kind of scary at night, probably not what you're looking for though. check out hollywood blvd. they got the ripleys museum there which is definetely interestinly odd, and a wax museum but stay away from the wax museum cuz its a rip off. 15 bucks to see maybe 20 wax figures that arent done that well. there's a bunch of scientologists around too they're kind of creepy. I have heard about the rooseavelt hotel in hollywood where maralyn monroe is rumored to have never left.

Answer 3

Go to Gravity Hill in Sylmar at night. It's a street outside of an ungated cemetary and there's a large dip in the pavement. If you put your car in neutral at the bottom of the dip, ghosts of the children will pull your car back up the hill. They sometimes leave little handprints on your bumper! It's scary but fun!

Answer 4

Get L.A. Bizzaro by Anthony Lovett and Matt Maranian. It's an excellent guide to all the strange and bizarre places around town, some of which no longer exist. Very informative and humorous.

Answer 5

there is this town in the middle of nowhere called, Hysberia, i dont even know how its spelled, well in general its like the state capital where they produce speed. its way off on the side of the los angeles county but its a freaky place, in fact for a period it was told there was some type of 'chupacabras' monster there, but that wasnt his name, there was another name, i forgot, but for a time it was said that it was haunting the area, i mean everyone had thier stories to tell. i had a friend who was from there and supposedly told me had seen one once in this dry sewer on the outskirts of the city. i didnt believe him so we went there on new years 2002 at 3 am to this dry sewer he was talking about it. it was soooooooooooo incredibly creapy, we were in four and this tunnel/sewer which was miles long was dry and supposedly said led down to the charles manson camp. we made it half way until in the middle of the tunnel in teh dark we began to smell fresh blood, and there these cold breezes passing by in a closed shut undergroudn sewere, it was soooo creapy. there was this crushed rat i remeber, not even killed or eaten, squished completely, who in the world had the strength to perfectly squish a huge rat and leave it flat on the ground??? we took off, i never saw the monster everyone alwasy said, but it felt really creapy. so go visit Hysberia, cool place hehe...

other things about los angeles, theres the hollywood cemetary, its said also to be haunted, theres also a hollywood hotel, a small oen that is also said to be haunted, ive heard about it in those travel channels haunted hotels.

in the orange county area in long beach, theres the famous, queen mary boat where till this day hasnt taken off. they have tours of the huge immense boat, but there also tours where they show you the haunted areas of the boat. its said to be haunted with many of the passengers in the past, murder, suicide, accidnets, ecc.

thats all i can think of in los angeles, well actually if your talking, 'wierd' not spooky things, you can go to the outskirts of downtown los angeles, im mean therefore central los angeles, make sure you go on some old beat up car, dress up like a poor woman, and drive by it late at night. there you can see very 'wierd' i mean really 'wierd wierd' people. its not a safe area at all so go with your doors well locked, in some ugly car so you have nothing to stolen off from. i can say 'wierd' people because my sister lives in downtown los angeles in the safe clean area, its safe during the day, but even while your sitting in some table outside a restaurant eating some food, youll get to see at 3 pm some wierd 40 year old guy walking aroudn in some grandma outfit, im seriously not kidding, and its not even a joke. there are 'wierd wierd' sadly, drugged out people,

the last thing i can say is wierd, but not IN los angles, but in california are the ghosttowns, those are real cool places to visit, they arent haunted nor creapy, they are real historical spots.

have fun!

Answer 6

You can take a tour of the Scientology building in Hollywood.

Answer 7

My friend Scott Michaels runs a tour in L.A. He takes a group around in his "tomb-buggy"(a nice, comfortable air-conditioned van) to where famous people died and where famous murders occured. Here are his website links...

He and his friends call themselves "death hags", similar to "fame hags". These are definitely the folks you want to hook up with for the weird and macabre in L.A.
