Ghost Tales In Carbon Canyon!

Ghost Tales In Carbon Canyon!

05 July 2008
Come to consider it, St. Joseph's Hill of Hope is not the only religious side of Carbon Canyon. A bit of gander (OKAY, the place does that phrase come from?) at a web site devoted to ghost sightings, a website that proudly wears the bage of "Second Worst Website of the Yr" for 2005 from one thing known as I. I. Q. A., has some "stories" that could be of curiosity to a few of you on the market.
For instance, "The ghost of a silver-miner was made out a Carbon Canyon Mineral Springs earlier than dawn going nuts. The ghost was swallowed by the skinny air after being made out. According to what the residents declare, this ghost will get pleasure from scary of us who dare to disturb the peace in Yorba Linda. One thing's for sure, it's a menacing ghost that you should not go in search of."
OK, effectively, I hate to do that-sort of like sticking a needle in a kid's balloon at his party-however: silver was by no means mined in Carbon Canyon. Also, the canyon just isn't exactly in Yorba Linda, is it? I am guessing the "author" of this information might be from out of state (and, doubtless, out of his/her mind, too.) However, if there's a ghost at Carbon Canyon Mineral Springs, which based on latitude/longitude coordinates is simply east of The Occasion Home liquor store in Sleepy Hollow and on the north aspect of Carbon Canyon Highway, couldn't he give our faster-driving visitors a bit of scare to slow 'em down a bit?
This is another one: "A woman with a semi clear physique has often been witnessed at Carbon Canyon Dam at evening excavating a nook. Many locals assert this ghost takes pleasure in terrifying unwise individuals who come trying to find ghosts in Yorba Linda." Ummm, are you able to "excavate a nook"? Additionally, I am guessing that this ghost doesn't care about people looking for ghosts in Brea, which is where the dam really is situated?
A third one appears to refer to the Canyon: "The phantom of a gentleman in a police outfit has been seen on a small number of events one? by Horseshoe Bend mounding rocks. People who have made out this ghost argue on a small variety of events? this ghost will be the soul of a neighborhood who handed away here in Yorba Linda prior to now." Yeah, I suppose it would make sense that somebody died prior to now. Does anyone know if there is a Horseshoe Bend in Yorba Linda or is this referring to the S-curve on the Chino Hills facet of the canyon?
Here's a good one: "A sizeable creepy ghost has been mentioned to have been noticed on one or two occasions downing motor oil in Carbon Canyon Creek." By someone who's downed somewhat an excessive amount of of one thing else? Also, motor oil?
There's also one about a younger lady lined in blood in Angeles Nationwide Forest, which is only 25 miles from Yorba Linda, but I should not let info get in the way in which of a superb ghost tale, especially if it's on the Web.
Now, that's the Yorba Linda one, here are some sightings from Placentia:
"A half decayed human corpse confirmed up at Carbon Canyon Creek before daybreak throwing boulders into the flowing water. This precise ghost has been seen continuously on this spot. One thing's for certain, it is unquestionably a frightening spirit that's better not messed with." I am fascinated by the truth that this ghost is evidently very accurate in his/her boulder throwing. And, that is despite the disability of being half-decayed.
"A woman with maggots crawling out of her nostril has every so often been seen at Brea Dam at midnight staring at the water." Wow, what can you say about that one!
"The phantom of a youthful feminine having on a blood-coated dress can sometimes be noticed smoking a cigar down beside Carbon Canyon Mineral Springs late at night. In any case, that is an unsympathetic ghost that any smart individual wouldn't want to encounter." What would a sympathetic ghost be like and simply what sort of ghost would a smart individual want to encounter?
Effectively, here is the website that posts these true, actual life, and really SCARY accounts of ghosts in our space (you possibly can even submit your personal sighting!): I particularly loved the advertisements for "Tru Blood," which is described as a "synthetic blood nourishment beverage." Excellent for a bit refreshment when going out searching for ghosts in Carbon Canyon-too unhealthy The Social gathering Home would not carry it ( or does it?)

Whats up Jake,
Properly, I've solely been right here a few years and am a little bit of a skeptic in relation to paranormal phenomena, so I have not come throughout or heard anyone say anything about "haunted" locations in the canyon yet! Clearly, canyons have an inherent fascination for individuals with vivid imaginations or, maybe, a direct connection to the netherworld. Having said that, I will most likely now be visited by a few of these angry miners, ladies with semi-transparent our bodies, half-decayed corpses and (my favourite) someone who has died previously. Thanks for checking out the CCC and are available again soon!

One time I used to be driving dwelling from a pals house at about 2am on a saturday night time and as I was driving (near the place the hot springs used to be) I virtually hit a woman strolling on the aspect of the highway. And the weird factor was is that she was sporting a white ripped up marriage ceremony dress.. I have other pals which have seen her too. Ever heard of her ?
Hi Cameron, I suppose that, underneath the correct conditions, anyone driving within the Canyon at 2am on a Saturday can see absolutely anything. As I mentioned on the 17 Aug 08 remark and in the submit, I'm just about a skeptic (though open to conversion if it ever happens to me-guess I haven't been open-minded sufficient up to now.) Nonetheless, if others have seen stated lady in torn bridal apparel, go away a message!

Effectively with the city of "Sleepy Hole", has anybody seen a "headless horseman" in these neck of the woods?
Hey JD40, in case you search the weblog for Sleepy Hole and Halloween, you will see something a few custom carried out from the late 1960s by means of the late 1980s (on and off) with a headless horseman. That was a very long time again and never more likely to be introduced again, though. Thanks for visiting.
Howdy Meghan, I do dwell in Sleepy "Hole," do know the folks you point out, and have come up with a good quantity of the historical past (or so I'm instructed). However, there are definitely people who know more in regards to the Canyon's historical past than I do and, should you do too, then by all means get a weblog going and best of luck to you.

Still would possibly.) on the Brea side near the former Manely Mates stables. Truly, it is likely to be a homeless one that's doing this.

Hi Jess, thanks for the newest remark and the kind phrases for the weblog. There are more hoodoos, one, for example, in Sleepy Hollow at Rosemary Lane and Carbon Canyon Street. The one close to the previous Manely Associates steady close to La Vida has been knocked over. There are a pair extra that I've seen. Generally things just pop up, just like the pepper timber that were planted lately (and at the moment are dead or dying) along the freeway in Sleepy Hollow. Obviously, some landscaper had additional bushes and thought it good to plant them there (this happened maybe eight years ago with different timber.) Anyway, thanks for the continued interest.

My expertise with Carbon canyon dates back to the nineteen sixties when a automobile load of us teenagers would take midnight rides to see The Tree!" We might journey the darkish slender highway because it wound round, up and down by means of the slim canyon until it got here to a white publish fence. At that time we would turn right and comply with the much more slender, even darker highway that made its manner into the hills and away from any home lights and shortly no other lights at all, simply your automotive's head lights.
On approaching a clearing after a fairly sharp curve you again up in opposition to the fence at the rear of the clearing and face your vehicle towards the hill. We shut off the car, rolled down the windows and waited....
Usually different cars would already be parked there in your arrival, or one or two more would arrive whereas we waited. Courageous souls would exit their cars and lean in opposition to the fender.
Some occasions the wait was quick, typically the wait was lengthy, however ultimately a glow would start on the tip top of the tree that stood alone on prime of the going through hill. The glow would appear and then retreat. This could go on for fairly sometime but the glow was infrequent.
At occasions the glow would journey down the tree a little additional but then retreat again. Ready long enough would supply the wonderful web site of the glow touring all the best way down the tree, lighting up (extra like a glisten) all the branches as it went, all the best way to the bottom.
If one waited long enough the glow would travel slowly down your entire tree and then on down the hill toward the parked cars!!!! Instantly the area would away from all vehicles!
One Sunday night after church when I used to be sixteen my boyfriend, his brother and my mom drove out to "the Tree!" Adrian parked his automobile and all of us bought out. As we stood subsequent to the automobile the highest of the tree started to glow. That was after we held fingers and began strolling up the hill toward the tree...singing Superb Grace with every step! Yes...we made all of it the best way to the top of the hill and even touched the tree!
As we turned to view our environment we learned the thriller of 'the Tree!!" What an amazing find...and what an incredible strategy to conquer fear...all with Superb Grace!
Yes, it is a true story! I lived it and it is certainly one of my valuable reminiscences of rising up in southern California when it was an ideal place to reside!!
Do you now the thriller of The Tree??

Regarding the comments in regards to the tree. I too bear in mind the tree or as we referred to as it "the light" I visited the tree a number of times about forty five+ years in the past however by no means discovered the mystery of the tree. One time two of my pals and I decided to hike up to the tree and see what brought about the light. About three quarters of the way up, the light started down. We panicked and ran back down the hill. One among my friends tripped and fell chopping his leg on a rock. We needed to take him to the emergency room for stitches in his leg. That was the last time I visited the tree. We by no means discovered what brought about the sunshine and if somebody would put up a solution I might love to seek out out. I just lately moved to olinda village in carbon canyon and would like to see the tree again however I don't bear in mind the place it is and if its nonetheless there. If anyone is aware of please post it
I spent quite a lot of time in the Canyon in the early '70s but alas, I noticed no ghosts. Since my associates and I had often dropped acid and smoked pot we saw plenty of other unusual stuff however no spectres of any sort.
Back then the ski chalet and it is bungalows have been residence to many hippies and there was numerous drug dealing that occurred there, largely pot and LSD. It was mentioned there was a ghost that haunted the bar of the principle home and I met folks that claimed to have seen it. Ghosts usually haunt the scene of their traumatic loss of life and I used to be not aware of any such occurrence. Perhaps when it was still a ski resort?
One factor that always bothered me is the ruins of a village that was on the high of the ski hill, just west of the concrete slab and above the Hill of Hope. Now that was a spooky place. There were numerous tales of its fate however no one knew for sure. If you know the answer I would still like to hear it. There was no web back then so research would have required wanting via decades value of microfiche.
The Hill of Hope was new then but prior to its arrival the principle constructing was mentioned to be the haunted remains of a sanatorium of some sort. It was mentioned to be a haunted mad home but I believe a tuberculosis quarantine is a more seemingly clarification. Thanks for this weblog. It brings back fond memories of my sordid youth in Fullerton (Troy Excessive, class of 'seventy two) BTW, if you already know Ray Howe, inform him Barney and Nigel are waiting for us.
Hi there , thanks for the comment and the recollections of the Purple Haze part of the property that was previously the Ski Villa resort, the Canyon Hills Country Club and, from 1928 to 1958, the Jewish camp, Camp Kinder Ring.
Your question about the remains of the buildings atop the hill pertains to the Camp Kinder Ring years and a number of other posts on this weblog element a few of that historical past. Search for "Camp Kinder Ring" on the primary web page and you'll get to those posts. By the way, the remains of those constructions have, in the last few months, been bulldozed as the positioning is prepared for tract homes.
As to the Hill of Hope, any tales of a sanitarium are just that: tales. The structures there were built by the Hill of Hope after it purchased the property in the early 70s. Until someone is aware of otherwise, that is. Thanks once more.

I got here residence right this moment up the canyon to chino & saw the stacked rocks! There were perhaps 7 stacks; most of them on the southern, curvier part of the road. I've used the highway on & off for about 5 years & by no means observed any before so I assumed they're fairly cool.
