FOR A MAP OF THIS HAUNTED LOCATION PRESS HERE

Welcome to Pasadena. Familiar home of quaint antique shops, the Rose Bowl Flea Market, and the bustle of corporate shops and gourmet restaurants of the revitalized Old Town. Yet the beautiful historic Colorado street bridge that welcomes college football fans and Art Center freshman each year, is in fact, swamped with death. This bridge is one of the most famous suicide spots in the world, earning it the most appropriate title of "Suicide Bridge".In perhaps the scariest Ghost Wanted Episode to date, Lee Barron walks the path of the forlorn and revisits the memories of their last moments...some intentional...others accidental. Journey with GW underneath the bridge where the crew experiences a rise in paranormal activity, and witness the near death of an all to daring cyclist who breaks the rules of the road. See it...and believe!

Episode 10: The Ghost of Orson Welles


FOR A MAP OF THIS HAUNTED LOCATION PRESS HERE

For years, rumors have circulated about the spirit of Orson Welles lingering at his favorite restaurant, Ma Maison, which is now home to the well known gourmet bakery Sweet Lady Jane, a place which resonates with a sort of "tea and crumpets" kind of atmosphere. Small, quaint and crowded as it is, there is always room for ghosts...but does this little cafe truly entertain such great company as the hungry ghost of Orson Welles?

The Ghosts Wanted Crew begs to differ. Research has led GW to the discovery that this cafe is NOT on the original spot of the famed Ma Maison restaurant, whose original glory has faded. There is a contemporary version of Ma Maison located across the street from Cedars-Sinai Hospital, but this is approximately one mile away from the scene of the ghost. Watch Episode 10 now to find out where Mr. Welles spirit is eating now!

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.

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."
