Turnbull Canyon, located in the Puente Hills, has been named the most haunted place in California, according to a list compiled by Thrillist. This eerie site, known for its scenic 4-mile hike, is infamous for a 1950s plane crash that killed 29 people.
Thrillist highlights Turnbull Canyon’s chilling history, which includes rumors of ritual sacrifices, the ghost of a teen who died using electroshock equipment from a nearby burned-down asylum, and even UFO sightings. The canyon’s dark past, combined with its stunning views, makes it a popular yet spine-tingling destination for thrill-seekers and hikers alike. Locals once called it “Hutukngna,” meaning “the place of the Devil.”
