This famous landmark is a must if you’re looking for some new haunted experience in LA. Get ready to uncover some gruesome past of the place on this breathtaking tour. The building started a new era of movie theaters with its lavish East-Asian style in 1927. Marvel at mesmerizing 30-foot-high pagoda made of stone and discover the secrets held inside the building. Sid Grauman, the theater’s founder, constructed a set of hidden rooms within the walls and witnesses say that some strange noises come from behind those walls. Hear the legends about two entities, Flitz and Annabelle. Hear captivating stories of robbery and murder inside the prominent movie theater.

Standing outside the glamorous Hollywood Roosevelt, you might just feel the lingering presence of its famous ghostly residents. This historic hotel is said to be haunted by none other than Marilyn Monroe herself, whose reflection has been spotted in a mirror that once hung in her old suite. Guests and staff have also reported eerie whispers and sudden cold spots near the Blossom Ballroom, believed to be the work of classic Hollywood actor Montgomery Clift. And if you listen closely near the vintage elevators, you may hear the playful giggles of Caroline, a little ghostly girl in a white dress who has been known to tug at the sleeves of unsuspecting visitors.

Stop 4

Be fascinated by this Victorian-like castle built in 1910 as a private residence and which is now a home to one of the most exclusive club in the world for magicians and magic fans. For 50 years it has been an international Mecca for magic, and some say it has more than a dozen ghosts. Only members of the club are allowed inside or those invited by them, but take a look at this amazing architecture and spooky stories themselves will come to your mind. It is said that a lot of objects inside move on their own during daytime, and some ghosts of children are seen there. A legend has it that on one occasion the castle’s first medium E. Raymond Carlyle actually materialized the spirit of his own daughter who had passed away just a few days before.

5

From the street, the Hollywood VIP Hotel may seem like an ordinary stay, but those who have lingered nearby at night tell of shadowy figures appearing in the windows before vanishing into thin air. Mysterious occurrences, such as doors unlocking on their own and footsteps echoing up and down the staircases when no one is inside, have left many visitors questioning whether unseen guests still roam the halls. Some say the spirits here are restless, drawn to the energy of Hollywood’s past, making this unassuming hotel a hidden hotspot for paranormal activity.

6

From this eerie vantage point, you might feel an unexpected chill as the haunted history of Hollywood stretches out before you. Many who linger here after dark report an unsettling sensation of being watched, as if unseen eyes from the hills above are observing their every move. Some claim to have seen shadowy figures standing motionless in the distance, only to vanish when approached. Others whisper of ghostly whispers carried on the wind, faint echoes of Hollywood’s past tragedies. Could it be the restless spirits of forgotten stars, forever roaming the land where they once dreamed of fame?

7

Get a chance to see the First National Bank of Hollywood. A gorgeous structure built in 1927 in Art-Deco and Neo-Gothic styles. Listen to your guide telling you a creepy story about a banker who ended up at attempted suicide after having built a perfect career.

8

Even from the sidewalk, Hollywood High School radiates an eerie energy, and those who have passed by at night have reported strange occurrences. The school’s historic auditorium, where countless performers have honed their craft, is said to be home to ghostly echoes of long-lost rehearsals, with flickering lights and phantom whispers filling the air. Some have even caught glimpses of a spectral custodian, an old janitor who still seems to wander the hallways even though he has long since passed. And if you hear a sudden, unexplained crash? It could be the sound of lockers slamming shut on their own, as if the spirits of former students are still making their presence known.
