The Old Zoo In Griffith Park Might Just Be The Most Haunted Park In Southern California

As one of the most popular parks in Los Angeles, Griffith Park has a secret that will send chills up your spine. On the east side of the park, there’s an abandoned zoo that now serves as a picnic area. During the day, visitors can eat lunch at the many tables around. However, at night it’s said that the cryptic cages come alive with the ghosts of animals who died there. What mystery lies behind this abandoned and haunted LA zoo?

The Old Zoo in Griffith Park was open from 1912 to 1966. It was said to have had a total of 15 animals on display.

After the opening of the Los Angeles Zoo, just 5 miles away, The Old Zoo shut down and became a picnic area. It also became a filming area for several Hollywood movies.

During the day, the zoo attracts visitors to the area. But after dark, it tells a different story.

It’s said that the sounds of animals in distress can be heard in the park at night. This rings true to the controversy surrounding the zoo and its small cages for its wildlife.

Allegedly, the animals that suffered and died in the cages still haunt the zoo today.

The chilling tale haunts people who have visited the scene after dark and seen images of the tormented animals.

The abandoned cages tell a story of animals held captive in unlivable conditions, with a bone-chilling ending.

It’s also said that the entire park is haunted by a curse that was cast over 150 years ago.

When you take a walk around, you’ll see that cryptic graffiti fills the old cages throughout the park.

Griffith Park has also been the scene of multiple murder investigations, with dead bodies found around the park. Talk about creepy.

A once lively attraction with tons of visitors, the Old Zoo now sits alone for those who dare to visit.

Sticking around after sunset is not for the faint of heart. You never know what mysterious things will be seen and heard.
