Description
On this DTLA Murder Mystery Ghost walking tour, you will go on an investigation of the noir underbelly of Los Angeles. Firstly, you'll visit the Biltmore Hotel, the last place the Black Dahlia was seen alive. Next, you'll, stop at Cliftonās and learn about the anti-corruption drive of its Christian founder (who had a few secrets of his own). After that, it's the Hotel Cecil, which has a hellish history of murders, suicides and killers (including the Night Stalker). From there, the group moves to the once-grand Alexandria Hotel, where Rudolph Valentinoās ghost still haunts his old penthouse, then the Barclay Hotel, home to two serial killers and the scene of some brutal murders. You'll also visit the site of the Chinatown Massacre of 1871, before the tour finishes at the Halls of Justice, site of many trials including those of Benjamin āBugsyā Siegel and Charles Manson.
