About Los Angeles Ghost Tours: Why We're The Best

Our Founder

The founder of US Ghost Adventures developed a strong appreciation for history and the power of storytelling through his military service and travels around the world. These experiences shaped his commitment to preserving the stories of the past. At US Ghost Adventures, we do more than share ghost stories—we focus on honoring history and ensuring the legacies of those who came before us are remembered.

We proudly support the SYTA Youth Foundation and a host of other charitable organizations. Our tours are designed to connect people with the history and stories that have shaped the world we live in.

Real History | Real Hauntings

Los Angeles is a city built on dreams, but for many, those dreams ended in tragedy. Behind the glitter of Hollywood lies a darker history—one of dashed hopes, rampant drug abuse, and lives cut short far too soon. Countless stars who sought fame were swallowed by the unforgiving machine of Tinseltown, leaving their spirits behind to haunt the stages and studios where their hopes were destroyed. 

The weight of these tragedies hangs heavy in the air, and as you walk the haunted streets of LA, you’ll feel the eerie presence of those who never escaped the shadows of their broken dreams. Our tour reveals these real hauntings, rooted in the dark truth of Hollywood’s past.

Exclusive Stories and Locations

For those daring enough to explore further, our extended tour includes some of LA’s most chilling and exclusive stops:

• The Egyptian Theater – A historic landmark with something far more unsettling than stale popcorn lurking along the floors. Many claim they’ve seen shadowy figures that disappear just as quickly as they appear.

• Boardners by La Belle – This infamous bar is home to a dark presence that doesn’t just haunt the building—it’s been known to follow visitors home, leaving them with an unsettling sense they’re not alone.

• Stella Adler Academy of Acting – The elevator here has a sinister reputation. Guests report feeling cold hands brushing against them and the unnerving sensation of being watched as they ride between floors.

Best Local Guides

Our guides are the true gatekeepers of the city’s haunted history. With a deep understanding of the Hollywood tragedies, unsolved murders, and ghostly legends that lurk in the corners of Los Angeles, they bring a unique insight into every chilling story. More than just history buffs, they respect the eerie forces that still call this city home, offering a tour that dives into the unexplained. Whether it’s the specters of the stars or the haunted landmarks left behind, our guides ensure you don’t just hear the tales—you feel them.

Why is Los Angeles so Haunted?

Los Angeles may be the city of dreams, but beneath the glamour lies a history filled with darkness. The streets of LA are haunted by more than just broken hearts—they’re filled with the ghosts of those whose dreams turned to nightmares. From the tragic deaths of Hollywood stars to the victims of the city’s rampant crime and unsolved mysteries, LA’s past is soaked in sorrow. 

The bright lights of Tinseltown cast long shadows, hiding the pain of overdoses, scandals, and untimely deaths. For every success story, there are countless others who never made it, their restless spirits clinging to the city that promised them the world but delivered tragedy instead.

Some of Our Favorite Locations

On our ghost tour, we visit some of the most haunted and iconic locations in the city:

• TCL Chinese Theater – This legendary theater is said to host a friendly ghost named Fritz, a former projectionist who still watches over the place. Guests have reported seeing him wandering the halls, continuing his work long after death.

• Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel – While many come hoping to encounter the spirit of Marilyn Monroe, it’s not her ghost that most people meet. Instead, visitors often report running into a far darker presence lurking in the hotel’s halls.

• The Magic Castle – This exclusive clubhouse for magicians has a long history of strange and unsettling occurrences. Some say that the eerie atmosphere has driven guests to the brink of madness, as the spirits that haunt this place play tricks far more sinister.

Photos and Experiences

LA Ghosts invites you to document your experience—unlike many ghost tours, we allow and encourage photos at all our haunted locations. However, be cautious about what your lens might capture. Previous visitors have reported strange, ghostly figures appearing in their photos, images they couldn’t explain. So feel free to snap away, but keep in mind that the City of Angels may have more than just history hiding in the shadows.
