In this episode… We close out spooky season with our final haunted, paranormal, ghost-themed story for the month of October & Jen’s pick does not disappoint!

If there was ever a place that can go on record as being truly haunted…we would put our money on the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. The stories, spirits and tragedies that haunt these walls are far too many to recount in one episode, but the few that we do explore are cringeworthy to say the least & may even give you CHILLS!

Jen’s Episode Notes:

The story of Harold Perelson and the Los Feliz Murder House can be summed up in a passage from his copy of Dante’s Divine Comedy, left open on Perelson's nightstand on the night he murdered his wife and then took his own life:

Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark, for the straightforward pathway had been lost…

At one point, Harold had it all: a flourishing career in medicine, a beautiful spouse, a loving family, and a palatial house in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. Then, in the early morning hours of December 6th, 1959, neighbors awoke to the sound of Harold’s daughter Judye screaming and pounding at their door. 

When the police finally arrived on the scene, they found Harold’s wife dead in her bed and Harold himself dead from a massive drug overdose—an apparent suicide.

But even after Harold Perelson was long gone and the surviving Perelson family members had scattered across the country, the so-called Los Feliz Murder House remained empty for decades. Now, despite passing into the hands of new owners, there are rumors that the place is more than just a monument to that horrific December night in 1959—some say it’s haunted.
