The Haunted Side of Downtown LA

Elizabeth Short was last seen alive at the Biltmore Hotel on the evening of January 9, 1947. After her body was found a week later, newspapers nicknamed her “The Black Dahlia,” and despite a huge investigation by the LAPD, her case was never solved.

Long before Hollywood, Downtown Los Angeles was a place of corruption, violence, and desperation. The city's oldest streets are filled with stories that never faded with time. On our Downtown Los Angeles ghost tours, you'll hear the city's haunted history through researched accounts and documented events. American Ghost Walks provides guided walking tours that focus on the true stories connected to the streets, buildings, and crimes that defined LA's dark and mysterious past.
