Legend has it that Harry Houdini once lived with his wife, Bess, in a guesthouse located on a large property overlooking Laurel Canyon. However, the property was actually owned by Ralf Walker and although tourist guidebooks such as “This is Hollywood” and publications featuring stories on Haunted Hollywood often identify the property with Houdini, the evidence is not conclusive. Good story, though.
Nice...there are so many tales from Laurel Canyon alone, haunted I'm sure but grisly with the infamous murders, Mansons and all—besides the happy music making stories. Hollywood, fantastical and in real life, has stories to keep us up for an eternity.
I have walked through Laurel Canyon from Ventura Boulevard in Studio City, up and over the hills to the point where it hits Hollywood Boulevard and becomes Crescent Heights.
