- Today I will dive into the strange history of Griffith Park. From its early days as Rancho Los Feliz to its modern role as a giant urban park, the history of this land is stranger than you might think.

I grew up in LA (North Hollywood) and we would go to Griffith Park, the Observatory and Travel Town and I went to my first concert at The Greek when I was 13. I have never heard of it being cursed. This is news to me.
I lived in Burbank, 1984, while going to USC graduate school for engineering. Classes were at night, so I'd bicycle thru Griffin Park during the the day. Didn't know about the curse. I do remember going to the laser show at the Griffin Park Observatory and a concert at the Greek Theater. You have more guts than me to hike there with all the homeless people in LA.
Dude no Homeless in Griffith Park or Elysian Park. too many Steep Hills. The Only Homeless that you will see are the Actors or Producers that lost their homes recently,
Griffith
There are many homeless encampments in the park. It is extremely dangerous at night.@@TheVisualante11
I lived in Los Feliz for about 10 years. So glad to hear your history of this land. I researched this and would recount it as you narrated this vid to my friends and newcomers to this area. I miss the trees that surrounded home that i lived in. Also hearing the coyotes at night and P-22.❤🎉
There’s a huge underground reservoir in Griffith park that supplies drinking water for LA - it’s called Headworks Reservoir
@@lucybirney I will look into it 🧐 thanks for the lead!
I grew up in LA, spent many hours in this spectacular park.
2025 just learned about this tragic history.
The Observatory is so cool!
I’ve been learning about the curse for years when it was tied to the fatal incidents in its history like Peg Entwistle’s fatal jump on the Hollywoodland sign, the Sowden House’s and its (possible) ties to the Black Dahlia, Los Feliz Murder House, or the Mason Family Murders. There’s so much bad history that many would believe that the history of the town would likely be responsible. Although I wouldn’t believe it fully.
Phenomenal video! i love la history and this is a pivotal place in the city. keep it coming. Do the outpost estate sign next!
@@adl22596 I will look into it!
Late 60s/early 70s Mannix episode was filmed at the observatory. Stunning scenery back then.
Very interesting!
Ironic that Los Feliz translates to The Happy Ones... Yet its history is anything but. This whole thing should be turned into a film or tv series because the stories are fascinating and macabre... Great video!
@@stickynorth I would binge watch that, thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it!
The Manson LaBianca murders took place in Los Feliz. Glenn Danzig lived there, too.
@@indiglo1971I used to pass by the La Bianca home whenever a new friend came into Los Feliz where I lived. It was up the street off of Rowena whenI went to Trader Joe’s.
Loved this bro
@@samsts7682 Thank you!
Excellent video; thanks!
Let's not forget the Curse of "Rebel without a Cause"! The classic Movie of the 1950s set one of its most iconic scenes at the Observatory. It was a knife fight. Later on its 3 stars would die unexpectedly, tragically and violently. James Dean would die in his racing car which was numbered 13. Sal Mineo would die in a homosexual murder in the 1970s. Natalie Wood die in a drowning incident in the 1980s involving Chris Walken and husband Robert Wagner. As of 2025, the last two are still unsolved mysteries. Mineo's killer has not been found, Woods death remains unclassified as accident or murder. So the Griffith Park curse continues until today!
Actually James Dean's car "the little bastard" was numbered 130. Great classic movie.
founded by the Mexicans but claimed by White Angelinos, sounds like paradise
If it makes you feel better, it was founded by the Western European Portuguese and Spanish nobility and Roman Catholic Church who's conquests stretched to Peru in the South. California was first colonized at the presidio in the Bay area by Juniper Serra, a Franciscan monk, hence san Francisco, the military power was Spanish, Mexican rule was about 30 years, but all that means is the colonial government of Mexico as run by western European royalty and the Catholic Church. And yes, after that, made pre-state territory by American Mutts of German Scotch-Irish British Dutch, extract all comparably opportunistic in treating the indigenous in the disposable tradition of the Catholic Spanish and Portuguese.
Cool to see your subs numbers rising.
@@glocke380 Thank you for your support!
Considering the Tartarian influence across America, this story simply cannot be true.
"Mount Griffith" is actually named "Mt. Lee".
