Hollywood Sign (Vanity Fair by Valerie Tejeda) - Peg Entwistle jumped to her death from the H in the Hollywood sign in 1932 after trying to have made it in Hollywood after having had success on broadway. There have been reports of a ghostly woman there ever since. Reports are of a blonde woman in 1930s clothing wandering around (or occasionally jumping from the sign itself), the scent of gardenias (said to be Entwistle’s favorite perfume). The Hollywood sign is located in Griffith Park, which has said to have been cursed to bring misfortune on anyone who uses the land for gain, as well as house several random ghosts and a humanoid creature

Del Monte Speakeasy (Time Out LA by Ramona Saviss and Michael Juliano) - former speakeasy with underground tunnels that now function as utility corridors. this one is unique bc it is haunted by its former owner, Frank Bennet, who haunts his favorite former booth across from the bar.

Montgomery Clift, who lived there while filming from Here to Eternity, and Carole Lombard have also been spotted at the Roosevelt.

Chateau Marmont (Curbed Los Angeles by Bianca Barragan) - where John Belushi overdosed. A family stayed there in 1999 and their toddler would laugh all the time when he was alone and when asked why he laughing, the toddler said it was because of the funny man.
