On December 16, 1935 the body of actress Thelma Todd was found in the garage of her Pacific Palisades home. "Despite the fact there was blood on her head, dress, coat, and car and that her ribs, nose, and teeth were broken," the police reported she died from self-inflicted asphyxiation.
Todd shared the home with acclaimed film director Roland West, who was overheard arguing with the actress the night of her death. "Theories and rumors refuse to die" as "numerous sightings of Thelma's ghost have awakened interest in her life and death". Address: 17531 Posetano Road. Pacific Palisades, CA.

Catalina Island is a rocky island off the coast of Southern California. The remote location "has long been considered a hotbed of UFO activity".
On July 8, 1947, dozens of military personnel and "hundreds of others" reported six "flying discs" traversing the island at 850 mph. Dozens of UFO sightings have been reported in the years since, leading many to believe there is a "huge undersea UFO base between Catalina and mainland". Address: Santa Catalina Island, CA.

Constructed in 1868, the building served as home to wealthy merchant David Charles Henry Rothschild.

Yost Theater was built in 1913 and has hosted a variety of concerts, vaudeville, cinema, and community events. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and located in the Downtown Santa Ana Historic District.
In 1927 singer Ernest Ball passed away at the Yost Theater after walking offstage. Some believe “he still haunts” the building and continues to “play host to a number of spirits”.

Gatsby Mansion, known as Pendray Inn and Tea House, is a restaurant and hotel located in Laurel Point, Victoria. The area is considered a sacred burial ground for the Lekwungen Nation.
The tribe practiced sky burials, a funerary custom whereby corpses are placed high in trees to "allow the elements to clean the flesh from the bones". In 1885, immigrant Jacob Sehl cleared the land to build a furniture factory, destroying many human remains and forever cursing the location. The factory burned down in 1894 and witnesses reported "figures leaping and dancing in the flames". In 1908, William Pendray reconstructed a paint factory on site, only to die instantly when a metal pipe fell from the ceiling. Pendray's son Ernest passed away several years later after being trampled by a spooked horse outside the factory. Today the Gatsby Mansion is widely known as one of the most haunted locations in Victoria. It is rumored that "if you would like to see a ghost, there is a good chance your wish will be granted". Address: 309 Belleville Street. Victoria, BC. Source: Victoria's Most Haunted, Gibbs, (2017).
