The 9 Most Haunted Places in Los Angeles

Los Angeles may be known for its sunny skies and glamorous lifestyle, but beneath the bright lights lies a chilling, haunted past. From eerie hotels with tragic histories to abandoned hospitals where the echoes of the past still resonate, the City of Angels has its fair share of paranormal hotspots. If you’re a fan of ghost stories or enjoy a good scare, then these 9 most haunted places in Los Angeles will leave you both spooked and intrigued.

1️⃣ The Cecil Hotel (Downtown LA) The Cecil Hotel's history is dark and twisted, marked by a series of mysterious deaths, suicides, and even ties to notorious serial killers. While it once aimed to be a symbol of luxury in the 1920s, it quickly became infamous for housing some of LA's most tragic stories. The most chilling tale remains that of Elisa Lam, whose mysterious disappearance and death in 2013 captivated the world. Security footage showed her acting erratically in an elevator, seemingly hiding from something—or someone—that wasn’t visible. Days later, her body was found in the hotel’s water tank, but how she got there remains unsolved. Guests continue to report hearing strange noises, whispers, and feeling cold spots throughout the hotel. The Cecil is a must-visit for any paranormal enthusiast.

2️⃣ The Queen Mary (Long Beach) Docked in Long Beach, the Queen Mary isn’t just a historic ocean liner—it’s a ghost hunter’s dream. The ship’s dark history is filled with tragedy, from the WWII-era collision with another vessel that killed over 300 sailors to numerous mysterious deaths during its service. The ship’s swimming pool is said to be haunted by the spirits of children, and the engine room—where a crew member was crushed to death—is another paranormal hotspot. Visitors frequently report hearing disembodied voices, seeing shadowy figures, and experiencing cold chills. Whether you’re taking a tour or going for a paranormal investigation, the Queen Mary’s haunted legacy is undeniable.

3️⃣ Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel (Hollywood) The Roosevelt Hotel may be a glamorous Old Hollywood landmark, but it’s also home to a number of celebrity ghosts. Most famously, Marilyn Monroe is said to haunt the hotel’s mirror, where guests have reported seeing her reflection. Another spectral presence is that of actor Montgomery Clift, who stayed at the Roosevelt during the filming of From Here to Eternity. Guests who stay in his old room claim to hear his trumpet playing late into the night. This is a hotel where the stars of Hollywood’s golden age never truly left the stage.

4️⃣ The Silent Movie Theatre (Fairfax District) Built to preserve the golden era of silent films, the Silent Movie Theatre has a tragic history that some say is the root of its paranormal activity. Founder John Hampton dedicated his life to restoring old films, but the toxic chemicals he used for preservation eventually contributed to his death. After his passing, the theater experienced a second tragedy when its new owner, Lawrence Austin, was gunned down in a murder-for-hire plot in the lobby. Since then, visitors have reported cold spots, eerie whispers, and the feeling of being watched by unseen eyes.

5️⃣ Griffith Park (Los Feliz) Griffith Park might be known as a popular hiking destination, but it also harbors a dark, cursed past. Legend has it that Dona Petronilla cursed the land after being cheated out of her inheritance, and since then, the park has been plagued by strange events. One of the creepiest spots is the old LA Zoo, where decaying animal enclosures serve as the backdrop for reported ghost sightings and unexplained phenomena. Another unsettling location is a picnic table where a couple was tragically crushed by a falling tree in the 1970s. Visitors often feel an eerie presence near the table and hear phantom voices urging them to leave.

6️⃣ The Los Feliz Murder Mansion (Los Feliz) Perhaps one of the most unsettling homes in LA is the Los Feliz Murder Mansion. In 1959, Dr. Harold Perelson bludgeoned his wife to death with a hammer before attempting to murder his daughter and finally taking his own life. What makes the mansion even more chilling is that it was left frozen in time, with Christmas decorations and personal belongings still intact for decades. Visitors report an overwhelming sense of dread, hearing footsteps and whispers even though the house has long been abandoned.

7️⃣ The Chateau Marmont (West Hollywood) While known for being a celebrity hideaway, the Chateau Marmont has seen its fair share of tragedy. Most notably, comedian John Belushi died of a drug overdose in one of the hotel’s bungalows, and some guests believe his spirit still lingers there. Other paranormal reports include cold spots, strange noises, and shadowy figures. This isn’t just a hotel with Hollywood charm—it’s a place where the past may still be present.

8️⃣ The Doheny Mansion (Chester Place) The Doheny Mansion is a haunting reminder of the darker side of wealth and power. In 1929, oil tycoon Edward Doheny’s son, Ned, was found dead inside the mansion in what was ruled a murder-suicide involving his secretary. Theories of betrayal and conspiracy have surrounded the case ever since. Visitors often report eerie sounds, ghostly apparitions, and the sensation of being watched. The mansion may be beautiful, but it’s also shrouded in mystery and sorrow.

9️⃣ Linda Vista Community Hospital (Boyle Heights) Once a bustling hospital, Linda Vista is now a decaying building with a reputation for being one of the most haunted places in LA. Built in 1904, the hospital saw its share of tragedy, especially during the 1970s and 80s when crime surged in the area. Many patients died due to neglect, and their restless spirits are said to still roam the halls. Paranormal investigators have captured disembodied voices, cold spots, and shadowy figures in the surgical wing, making Linda Vista a popular spot for ghost hunters and filmmakers alike.

LA’s haunted history is more than just urban legends—it’s woven into the very fabric of the city. Whether you’re drawn by curiosity or disbelief, visiting these haunted spots is an experience that will leave you questioning the line between the past and the present.So next time you’re in Los Angeles, take a detour from the tourist hotspots and explore its darker, ghostly side. You never know what—or who—you might encounter. 👻 Link to full blog

Reposted from @kentcoastghosts Pluckley Village, Kent... 👻 Pluckley is a traditional looking small village, near Ashford in Kent. It looks like any of the other quaint, picturesque villages in the UK, but Pluckley has held the record for being "the most haunted village in Britain". At least 12 different ghosts are reported to be seen floating around this little village... The most famous is 'The Red Lady' who is spotted roaming the churchyard at night, often accompanied by a small white dog. The White Lady is also said to haunt this church; she is allegedly buried in 7 coffins AND an oak sarcophagus, deep within its walls. No one is sure why she was buried this way. If you're really lucky, (or not...), you may encounter the ghostly horse and carriage which has been seen gliding around the village at various times of day and night. And don't think you can get away with just driving through; various drivers have reported seeing mysterious figures standing in, and beside the road... www.kentcoastghost.com 👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤👻🖤 #HauntedVillage #HauntedKent #KentCoastGhosts #hauntedplaces #ghostsofkent #Pluckley #ghoststories #ghostlyencounters #spookyplaces #ghosthunters https://www.instagram.com/p/Cckb7TOMfqp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

《《《 spiraling down and down or is it up 》》》 Have you ever read the #southernreachtrilogy, by #jeffvandermeer? There was the film #annihilation too, based off of the first book. They are hands down the most bizarre books I have ever read and I loved them so so hard. They're deep, thought-provoking, confusing af, beautifully weird. . Anyway. I asked because you'll only know what I'm talking about if you've read them. . These spiraling stairs at #FortStevens gives me vibes of Area X. The tower/tunnel, the lighthouse, that Ghost Bird follows down, finds what's left of Saul. I can imagine vines on the wall writing it out, "Where lies the strangling fruit," and such. Right? . Those books are a series that will stick with me forever. I'm still not sure what exactly happened. Reading through dozens of pages of theories on @goodreads after I finished the last book gave me an immensely deeper understanding though - there were dozens of observations there that helped me see what an absolute artist Vandermeer is with storytelling, the layers that he wove together are amazing. I'll definitely read them again. But I would love love big love to hear thoughts on the books from anyone who has read them? Talk to me. Questions? Theories? Thoughts?? . I love the weird. I don't like horror, and don't like being scared (I have anxiety and telling the waitress I ordered the side salad not these fries is scary is scary enough for me omg thank you I need a Xanax bye). But I like creepy, sci-fi, mystery, suspense. I love #weirdscience and #timetravel and things that make you think deep. These are it. . Chat? (Also, any other mildly creepy locations in the PNW area that we should visit? This old spooky fort is along where Lewis & Clark traveled, cool history. There's a "haunted" hike I wanna check out. Give me your recommendations. . #whatimreading #booksarelife #talknerdytome #bookdiscussion #weirdbooks #scifibooks #sciencefiction #scifi #weirdosunite #booksuggestions #creepyplaces #spookyplaces #shesawitch #witchyvibes #spiralstaircase #oldbuildings #abandonedplace (at Fort Stevens State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMG0fKuhmQf/?igshid=1303oe66ervoh

One of the nicest hotels in Savannah has a history spanning back 167 years. It was a hospital during the Yellow Fever Epidemics in the mid-1800s, and operated as a Union hospital during the final months of the Civil War. The Marshall House was vacant for many years and was extensively restored in 1999. Artifacts found during the restoration are encased in creepy display cabinets on the second and third floor. What is not displayed or widely talked about are the numerous bones that were found during construction. The bones are said to be limbs of wounded soldiers from the Civil War. This is not only said to be the most haunted location in Savannah but in the United States. I had the pleasure of staying here a couple years ago and look forward to thecday ehen I can ghost hunting there again. After staying the night there and having long conversations with the people who work there about their experiences as well as former guests who have stayed there, I can see why it is voted the most haunted hotel in America. #ghosts #ghosthunter #ghoststories #ghosthunters #ghosthunting #paranormalactivity #paranormal #hauntedplaces #hauntedhotels #hauntedhistory #Savannah #hauntedsavannah #spookyplaces #spooky #civilwar #history #historicpreservation #southernliving #visitgeorgia #themarshallhouse #marymarshall (at The Marshall House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEAiRM9AKSxDmaKxOOhZvaA_qwEnLgRI_DytzA0/?igshid=grae1wfonkxu

👻This abandoned quarry isn’t just a beautiful place to hike, it is also rumored to be a hot bed of paranormal activity. https://familyadventuresinnewyorkstate.com/split-rock-quarry-camillus-ny/ Visitors who explore the quarry have reported hearing voices in the distance, heard the sounds of approaching footsteps with no one appearing. Some people have even claimed to hear the reviving of the stone crusher engine (even when there is no machine left.). #splitrockquarry #hauntedplaces #hauntednewyork #spooky #spookyplaces #halloween #halloweenfun #halloweenfunny #spookyseason #hauntedquarry #hauntedhistory #hike #hikingadventures #hiking #hikingwithdogs #hikingny #nyhikes #cny #visitcny #syracuse #visitsyracuse #syracuseny (at Split Rock Quarry) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUF9w-qlLLT/?utm_medium=tumblr
