Full Version: Turnbull Canyon
Wow i didnt know all those haunting stuff were there
cuz usually i go to Turnbull just to drift my car like every saturday and sunday
i dont pay attention to most of the stuff
but i've heard theres like a tanker on teh bottom of the ravine that has bullet holes on it, im still trying to figure out where the abandoned daycare is at, where once u walk in the faucets start turning on the u hear kids playing
i've been to turnbull alot before like at night
i dont thinks its that scary, i mean i've seen the gates of hell at night
i mostly go up there to drift

I have been to turnbull many times beacuse me and my bf live really close to it..and i love it!!! There are so many stories about it and i find it interesting..I have seen the road where the old insane Asylum used to be but they have the fence closed.....and the kkk stories are true because my bf and his brother where riding bikes and they saw 2 men walking down from a house wearing white robes...the men looked at them and kept walking...(my bf and his bro are white btw) if u want to see the house its well once u get to skyline turn right and go down the street.. the house is big and white on a hill...if front of the house there are anchor chains near the driveway...if you are going on the road that leads to whittier u can see it too...just look to the right and its the big white house on the top of the hill.....once in a while if your lucky u will see men come out. Satanist go up there too..i should know i knew some of them...during the day turnbull is fine..at night sometimes things happen...but the again there are also bike riders that ride at night through switchbacks and dont see anything weird..there are also caves where blacks where killed. and satanist hang there .but they are far from the trails..... i know alot about turnbull so if u have questions lets me know.....
I LOVE TURBULL CANYON!!!!!
I LOVE TURBULL CANYON!!!!!
i actually just moved to hacienda like 3 yrs ago and i live on turnbull, and all this stuff is kinda making me want to check out these spots, but also kinda don't cause i'm brazilian and of course the KKK guy's are gonna think i'm mexican and hang my ass but of course they'll just hang me cause of my skin color

I know this location very well, it looks like you're standing on Turnbull Cyn looking north.
These are mine from over the years. In all honesty, I think the best way to explore Turnbull is on a bike. Gather a large group and ride the canyon. You can do all sorts of different trails that all loop back to where you started. Or, you can trek across the ridge and travel east.
Be aware of the vandalism that does exist on either side of the hill. Don't leave your car parked at Beverly as it turns into Turnbull on the Whittier side and if you start in Hacienda Heights stay away from the end of Orange Grove and 7th Ave, look for a better populated residential area.

i walked the trail like once and left my car on the side of the road, i was kinda skeptic to leave it there but i left it there and went walking, kinda scary cause at any moment anyone can just pop out and harm you, luckly i carry a pretty big knife but still scary and wouldn't do it alone again.
wow... i want to take my girlfriend here (she is mexican and white..) but if i do i think i am going to have to bring 2 other friends. lol
What a creepy place, thanks for sharing all the info about it. Sounds like an interesting place to visit..
I was there actually just tonight after looking at different websites for new sights too see. I'm a bit of a novice investigator but hell I try 
. I do have digital shots of TurnBull Canyon but nothing really major other then a lot of orbs...some orbs are as white as powder which is rare since they are always translucent. I can post them if anyone is interested, I would just post em but I know most investigators aren't really convinced with orbs. They can be mistaken for dust particles but to me the ones that are visible and not so translucent have me thinking maybe I got something.
BTW I'm surprised there are so many locals posting here that's definitely awesome hell we should all gather info and see if we can plan something for this site.

I've only just started researhing this place and it's so effing cool!
Does anyone else find it alluring?
It's like,you don't wanna go,but at the same time,there's something drawing you there.....

A friend and I are gonna be explorating up there in a few weeks.

hello all! turnbull....i went today! i heard all of these cool myths and stories but sadly i found nothing. The first time i went, i was by myself on my bike.( 16 yo, West Covina high school 
) So i went up until Avacado and i tied my bike up. Then i walked....and walked...for who knows how many miles. It was quiet and nice, thats cool and all but not what i was looking for. So i asked my friends if they knew about anything, and one said he knew where the asylum was, and how to get to the indian burial ground.(he was lying of course) So i went again with them, and this time we made it to what i think was the top. Where the trail is by skyline. Once again nothing.....no scary stuff, i didnt even find any KKK people! haha, I'm willing to hire some kinda guide $$ someone wanna help? thanks!

If u r serious about hiring a guide U got one. I know everything there is to know about turnbull, including its history and how it was founded. I can take u throughout it and show u some pretty cool and scary stuff. If ure looking to hike through and look then daytime is best but if u rlly wanna trip then let me show u at nighttime. ull see the true side of turnbull. Dun listen to all theses people cause most these stories r false. Email me if u rlly wanna know the truth.
haha lmfao that was a daily place for me and the homies to go..never saw nothing wired or heard anything wired...them kkk *****s aint doing nothing either...when we'd go we see taggers mobbing like crazy not to mention i have parked up there for hours a few times at night.
and about being escorted by a cop? never have i been escorted by a cop or pulled over by a cop up there and i have seen plenty of cops up there only reason for it is to stop taggers...i was parked on the side of the road...with a girl and we seen a cop car pass by going up...then we were like coo he passed...but then he came back again i thought for sure he was gonna stop by my car and sucked cos i had brought some liquor we didnt drink it but still i was only 20 at the time so anyways we finished up and left!
you want real scary stories about the place...a girl was raped and tied to a car and got drag all the way up there...people get caught by other gangs for tagging and get shot...guys race their cars up there and sometimes crash (lucky if that) or go right off the cliff
theres real reasons to be scared about that place but there nothing spooky about it...like i said that was a daily place for me to be.

I have lived in Hacienda Heights since 1975, 25 years at the base of Turnbull, and 6 years on Edgeridge Dr. I have been riding Mountain Bikes weekly for 18 years at all hours through every trail in the Canyons. I rode Motorcycles in the 70's and led Dirt Bike night rides through the trails all through the 80's and 90's. I went to Los Altos High with the folks who lived in the so called KKK house. I dialed in my Road Race Bikes on Turnbull Canyon road at 3 A.M. for 20 years. There is a retired Sheriff that has ridden all the area since the 60's, he's never encountered anything weired. I still ride at night, never seen anything like the stories say. Too much Drama in todays Society....
