Beverly Hills Bermuda Triangle

You will find Beverly Hills between Los Angeles and West Hollywood. This was formerly a humble lima bean ranch run by the Spanish in the early part of the 1900s. Since then, the cities have been glamorized and blossoming. Since this, Beverly Hills has been known as a place where movie stars and models live. It has been the image of opulence and wealth. You can see numerous palm trees, stars, and sun. However, there is a deeper part of this beautiful place. It is a place that is believed to be infused with insidious and dark forces. It is said that these forces will lash out and claim victims.

History

You wouldn’t suspect that the small area that is between North Linden Dr. And North Whittier Dr is anything but the ordinary. This area looks like any other part of Beverly Hills. It is upscale and high-class. You will notice luxurious houses and cars. This is the area you would want to see yourself living in. (That is if you can afford millions of dollars for a home.) However, this corner of the city has a long streak of freak accidents, tragedies, and murders. These have all happened in this small area is not just a coincidence anymore. People believe that this area is cursed.

It is believed that the evil of this place had started back in 1946.  It was in this year that Howard Hughes took off in his plane. He was a billionaire, filmmaker, and aviator. He was well-known for many things. He took his plane, XF-11, on a flight over the LA area. Hughes was known for being a veteran pilot. He knew what he was doing. This was just like any other flight, a routine flight. However, when he had approached the area over Beverly Hills, he had experienced some troubles with the engine. He had decided to do an emergency landing at a country club. However, despite all his knowledge with planes, he could not get to the club. He instead would come crashing down. The plane had crashed into several houses on Whittier Drive. Hughes had survived this accident, however, he suffered severe injuries. These injuries would haunt him through the rest of his life. Some burns had scared him severely. It was very unusual that such an experienced pilot would just fall out of the sky into a residential area.

Hughes survived this accident, however, the next accident at this scene would be more tragic. In 1947, the year after the crash, there was a violent death. This was the death of an infamous gangster, Bugsy. You may also know him as Benjamin Siegel. Benjamin was one of the most feared mob kings of the era. He was a founding member, as well as a leader, of the organized group, Murder Inc. He was also a very active participant in bootlegging during the Prohibition era. He was charming and handsome. He was considered a celebrity gangster because he was high-profile. However, he did have many enemies all over.

It was a June day in 1947. June 20th to be exact. Bugsy was at home in Beverly Hills just reading his newspaper. He was with his girlfriend at the time, Virginia Hill. It was at this time that someone had decided to open-fire from the outside of the home. Someone was shooting into the house from the sidewalk/street. There were nine bullets and five of them had hit Bugsy. Two of them had hit him in the head. It had blown the eye out of the socket. He was dead the moment he was shot in the head. The person responsible escaped and was never found. To this day, this murder remains a mystery.

For a few decades, the “curse” would not strike again. However, in 1966, another tragedy struck. Two men, Dean Ormsby Torrence and Jan Berry who were known as Jan and Dean, a music duo, would fall victim to the curse. It was the twelfth of April when Jan Berry was taking a drive. He was driving to a business that wasn’t far from the Dead Man’s Curve located on Whittier Drive. Jan was driving his corvette at very high speeds. He had struck a parked vehicle at full speed. He had severe head trauma that caused him to be in a coma for two months. He did survive the incident; however, he has injuries that left him not quite the same. He was disabled. He had paralysis of the right arm. This incident took place within a block of where the other two incidents occurred.

In more recent times, there was the mysterious death of a publicist. Ronni Sue Chasen was representing many big names in Hollywood. However, on the sixteenth of November in 2010, tragedy would strike. She was driving home from a premiere film and was passing Whittier and Sunset corner. At this corner, she was shot. The person shooting was never identified. She would not die from the shots but the crash that followed. To escape the gunfire, she would hit the gas pedal. She then had crashed the vehicle into a streetlight. The wreck of the car sits just across where the other accidents and tragedies had occurred.
