08.13.07 | la mirada, whittier, long beach

we head out around 8:30. it was dark, but you could tell there was still some sun left in the sky. we hit up creek park in la mirada first.


the park was huge! kim did some research and found that a few kids had been raped and killed at this park and their spirits linger around the park. there have been some reports of people seeing a young boy just wandering around the park. the park was pretty well lighted, but there was this one spot that we got drawn to twice. it was a darker area, pretty drab, and just a few trees kinda in the background. kim was videotaping while chris was talking, trying to get the boy to show us a sign that he was here. all of a sudden, kim freaked out because she saw a weird sort of "orb" in her camera just flash across the screen. we replayed the tape and all saw the same thing. after that encounter we explored the park a little more. we decided to head out because we felt like there was nothing left to do there. so, we walked back up to where chris' truck was and as we were coming up, a leaf fell from one of the trees or bushes. kinda freaked us out 'cuz we were already on edge. so, we kinda stopped and went to that area. then guro said "if you're here, drop another leaf." and immediately after, a leaf fell. being the "amateurs" that we are, we ran! lol. we hopped in the car, and peeled outta there!

the second place we hit up was a place in whitter. kim did some research and found a haunted place in whitter on workman mill road. we didn't think anything of it. as i was reading the directions, chris and i were joking about how this place might be somewhere near rose hills, which is a huge cemetery (for those that don't know). so, we're following the mapquest directions that kim printed out, and sure enough, we ended at 3888 workman mill road - the address of rose hills cemetery.


unfortunately, the place was closed. i think we were all thankful for that... lol.

the last place we hit up was probably the most eventful. we hit up de forest park in long beach. chris and i had gone to this place the previous saturday and heard some pretty weird stuff that night. we couldn't figure out if it was children laughing or just an animal making noise. so, we decided to go back to try and walk the trail. see, the first time we went we thought the trail was somewhere else... but, when we brought the rest of the team, we realized where the trail really was. to our left. it was dark, enclosed by big scary trees, with just a small opening made out of logs with a small sign that said "de forest nature trail". it was freaky. we were all pretty scared already and we were 30 feet away. so, we decided to brave up. we talked ourselves into at least going to the opening of the trail. we got to the opening and i [guro] already got butterflies in my stomach and felt my heart beating super hard. there was a red light that bri spotted that freaked out chris and made him run which made the rest of us run too! haha. we took a couple of deep breaths and made our way back to the opening. kim and i got the cojones to actually walk "inside". we walked in about 6 feet and stopped. the rest of the crew was behind us (still on the outside). all of a sudden, kim starts freakin out and starts whispering, "guro, do you see that?" apprarently, she saw a white figure in the distance. it was moving and leaned over a little bit (imagine someone peeking from behind a tree...). it stopped right there. as if it spotted us too. all of a sudden, it started moving toward us and we bolted! lol. now, when kim whispered that in my [guro] ear, the rest of the team couldn't hear her... but, from the outisde, they all saw the same thing. the same exact thing. oh yeah, can't forget about the cold spots. chris pointed it out when we first got there. trip out!

so yeah, we were freaked out, nonetheless. got any places in socal you'd like us to visit to see if there's any "ghosts" wandering around? if so, let us know by leaving us a comment!
