Tour Overview
Meet us in the heart of Chinatown, a gorgeous neighborhood teeming with stunning architecture and old Hollywood secrets.
Your tour guide will outfit everyone with EMF meters that you’ll use throughout the paranormal investigation, and explain the types of hauntings and ghosts that we encounter in Los Angeles.
From there we’ll enter the old neighborhood, hearing about the forgotten graves buried beneath us.
We’ll visit the Chinatown metro station, and hear of the cemeteries discovered as the metro was being constructed. Nearby is an old milling warehouse that may be haunted by the ghosts of two employees whose tragic deaths 100 years ago still linger.
In Chinatown’s Central Plaza, discover stunning architecture and learn of the communities that were here before, including early Italian and French communities.
At any point, we might detect EMF activity, and we’ll investigate further using tools such as dowsing rods and a Spirit Box.
We’ll end the investigation with a ceremony to honor whatever spirits joined us, with music, a candle, and a few rituals to ensure that nothing follows you home.
After the tour, we recommend you visit the nearby bars, so you can end your evening with one last spirit.
