Episode 5: The La Brea Tar Pits of Death

FOR A MAP OF THIS HAUNTED LOCATION PRESS HERE

Psychic Lee Barron investigates the ghosts of Miracle mile in Episode 5: The La Brea Tar Pits of Death. Since the dawn of time, this Hancock Park natural pool of viscous tar has led to the demise of many a prehistoric mammal, including large and threatening beasts such as saber-tooth tigresses and wooly mammoths. The tar reaches the surface at several locations in the park, forming pools. Methane gas also seeps up, causing bubbles which makes the asphalt appear to boil like a witch's cauldron.

Because the Ghost Wanted crew only investigates after sundown, Psychic Lee Barron was unable to legally gain access to the park grounds, so the reading was performed at the gated entrance, adjacent to Koo Koo Roo's and the Craft & Folk Art Museum.

Fortunately, Lee was still able to uncover a number of significant human death imprints in the foliage surrounding the park, as well as the strong energy of a recent crime scene shooting and a fatal car accident.

WATER LEVEL: HIGH (NEXT TO LAKE OF WATER?TAR MIXTURE)

UPDATE 3/5/09

A docent form Pit 91 has informed GHOSTS WANTED that the pool of tar that Psychic Lee Barron is standing in front of in this video is a man-made reservoir (and not actually a "pit").

Before the archeological value of these naturally ocurring pits was realized, people used to buy this tar to patch roofs and roads. So, a reservoir was dug next to Whilshire Blvd. to hold the black goo, and make it more accessable for trucks.

Thus, there are no pre-historic remains in this lake of tar shown in the video, which means that once again Psychic Lee Barron was correct when he could not "feel" any animals in that "tar pit."

Anonymous said...: Lee has powerful psychic gifts. Can be physically sensed, while watching the clip, all the way in the midwest. Lee is so natural; no gimmicks here. He's just one of those special people in touch with the world and its mysterious ways. With great humility Lee cares and shares. Bravo.; May 20, 2008 at 8:34 PM

The Skeleton Crew

LEE BARRON is a sketch comedy actor with a special gift. Born into a family with a genetic disposition for psychic receptivity, Lee can consciously small-talk with spirits and uses etheric humor to break the ice and help them along their path through the after-life. His grandfather used to do energy healing on the livestock on their Texas ranch, an ability that has been passed down through the generations.

His first shuddersome experience in tinseltown occurred while working behind the scenes on In Search of Haunted Hollywood with Max Maven and John Davidson. One morning on the Alcatraz set in GMT Studios, he heard tapping on the prison bars when no one was there. Set managers confirmed that they had heard, “strange sh*t, too.” Lee later discovered that the studio lot was built on top of the old Culver City Cemetery.

Since he has accepted his gifts, he has experienced ghosts in many unusual situations, such as haunting an apartment heater, attending a funeral, and possessing a laundry room. Lee’s advice to other ghost hunters; “Keep it Ethe-real, but don’t be a white-light wanker about it.”

RICHARD CARRADINE's passion for spooky subject matter was ignited when he came face to face with a “woman in white” that haunts a 19th century mansion in Pasadena, CA. Since that experience, he has had many unexplainable encounters with the other side, from full-bodied apparitions to heavy furniture sliding back and forth across a room.

In almost two decades of hunting, he has investigated ghosts from all over the world, (Canada, Scotland, England, Wales, Austria, Czech Republic, and Slovenia) and throughout the United States (Florida, California, New York, Louisiana, Virginia, and Montana). In California alone, he has investigated over 200 haunted locations (including all 23 missions).

His approach to each case is academic. Proving or disproving the spiritual activity of a certain spot isn’t what motivates this ghost hunter. Instead, he is more interested in collecting the stories and eyewitness accounts, and archiving them, not only as a means of getting a glimpse into that place’s past, but also as a means of recording them for future studies into these unusual phenomena that clearly affect so many seemingly unconnected people.
