Episode 1: The Phantom Carriage


FOR A MAP TO THIS HAUNTED LOCATION PRESS HERE

For the premiere webisode of Ghosts Wanted, Psychic Lee Barron investigates the intersection of Laurel Canyon and Lookout Mountain based on a neighborhood tip that a haunted stagecoach arrives every night at midnight. While Frank Zappa lived here in the 1960's, in the 1860's Los Angeles was only 10 years old and the Spaniards and Mexican "Californios" were fighting for control of the land formerly home to the Tongva Native American Tribes.

Trackless Trolley

Yet, is it possible that the sounds of crackling branches could be the residual energy of the First Trackless Trolley in America? The Laurel Canyon Trackless Trolley (technological ancestor to the electric car) was operating briefly after the turn of the century by the Laurel Canyon Utility Company in order to create real estate interest, but failed because the roads were not paved. Trolley transportation did not return to Los Angeles again until 1947.

i've seen the ghost car and it moves way faster than you'd think. it goes like 60. but you were right about the direction you said it would go. it goes down the hill towards the hollywood/laurel cyn. fork and dissapears in a bright flash.

talk to me, we'll go get it on tape. myspace.com/k0rso
