If we’re being totally honest, the most haunted “trail” in Southern California is Hollywood Boulevard at 3 a.m. And that’s whether or not you believe in ghosts. But today, in honor of Halloween approaching on the not-too-distant horizon, we’re speaking to our more spiritually-inclined readers. We’re taking a closer look at the most haunted trails […]
Weird things are afoot in California. Some of them with big feet, allegedly. The world has assigned a reputation for being a beacon for the weird to California. People who have only seen our sun-soaked shores in postcards and motion pictures frequently inflate this estimation. Still, every once in a while, we hear of a […]

If you’ve been paying attention (but not paying close enough attention), you’ll be mistaking today’s home for one we covered last year: The Bob Hope House.
