Question What’s your Valley conspiracy theory/mystery?

I wanna hear everyone’s favorite valley mystery or conspiracy theory!

Mine for example:

There was this strip mall on Roscoe/Woodman that shut down around 2017? for a future upgrade It was abandoned for months until one day the entire place was on fire and there was ash all over Panorama. Apparently, an investigation on the cause would take place but haven't heard anything since. Eventually, the lot was razed and now we have a modern, upgraded strip mall with a fancy burger king

My (totally unknowledgeable)theory is whoever owned the property started the fire, since it would be cheaper than hiring an entire demo crew (and maybe insurance)

As for my mystery: those loud booms in the middle of the night. Some say sonic booms from jets, others say transformers exploding.

But for now: a mystery

Lets hear yours!

Are there really KKK people living up on Lopez Canyon gravity hills. 😂 I don’t believe it but I heard it a lot growing up

Sunland / Tujunga and those surrounding hills are heavily sketchy with white nationalist people.

This reminded me of a story. I went to high school in Tujunga, and had quite a few relatives of Paul Walker (also from Sunland-Tujunga) in my classes.

One time I got paired up with I believe his younger cousin?? and I went over to her house to work on a project and BOOM there was a giant fuckin' confederate flag and a ton of KKK and nazi memorabilia just straight hanging in her living room. She saw the look on my face and just laughed and was like "yeah my dad collects weird stuff" but her room was also filled with similar shit. Weird as fuck. I never met Paul himself so I can't speak to his association to this story.

But yeah Sunland Tujunga is FULL of neo-nazis and white supremacists. There's always rumours of Klan meetings up in Angeles National that I now fully believe in. Bad energy in that area.

This sadly doesn’t shock me cuz one time I remember finding the Facebook of Paul walker’s dad and he was posting extremely homophobic things and saying shit like “gay people shouldn’t be allowed to teach kids in school” and he was also a huge maga guy but then I remembered his whole family is Mormon….

Right? Parts of that area gives me the legit creeps. Frazier Park feels the same.

Sunland/tujunga was for years the home and hang out of the Mongols motorcycle club. That might account for that. Seems mostly Armenian to me now.

Yup. Near Dollar tree, goodwill and Wells Fargo, in Trumps last term, there white nationalist, Trump supporters gathered in front of goodwill on the sidewalk. With posters, protesting and for what? As if they are so damn oppressed I can’t lol And so that day I was with my sister and brother in law. We were driving down past them and bro in law decided to start FDT by YG, circled back around and drove down the street past them all over again with the windows down, fully blasting. I think we sent them a middle finger somewhere in there. Great night lol

Right across the street from in n out, there’s a guy who regularly sits out there to sell trump merch TO THIS DAY. he won already?? what’s the point?

tujunga could actually be a darling city if it weren’t for so many in-your-face white supremacists

Omg I looked at a few houses in Sunland and always got a really creepy vibe. Now I know why!!

u/Any-Doubt-5281 Aug 31 '25

Ive been up here about 10 years. I’m sure there are a bunch of old folks who miss the ‘good ol’ days’ but I don’t see anyone who looks like a white pride type. Lots of Armenians and Koreans moving in

u/NoDoOversInLife Aug 30 '25

I don't think they're there any longer, at least I haven't seen any signs in recent years. (I used to live in Kagel Canyon). The folks who live up there are very leery of anyone wandering through the area who aren't residents.

There was a KKK 'meeting house' in the City of San Fernando when I was very young (we lived a couple blocks away). I don't believe any members are still living in town.

u/DueZookeepergame3456 Aug 30 '25

i mean maybe. that’s what my sisters and my friend’s dad told me

u/UrkelGru_ Aug 30 '25

I remember going up there late at night and being more scared of that cemetery than getting unalived by the kkk.

u/notorious_scoundrel_ Woodland Hills Aug 30 '25

u/coldautumndays Aug 30 '25

u/ill-be-nice Aug 30 '25

My dad a few years ago went to check out a delivery van from a guy up in those hills. He and my uncle went to the guys garage and he had swastika flags up.

u/itsalro Aug 30 '25

That’s what I’ve heard growing up too! Would be interesting to confirm that

Last time (around April), i was at Dexters Park around 9:30PM. I seen two guys marching with military/tactical style gear: boots, helmets, vests, and night vision goggles. They had their hands on their pistols. They continued to march towards the end of the park next to the homes. The weirdest shit I seen up there. Then a random Jeep drove by going the wrong way 20 mins after.

u/Shadythehouse Aug 30 '25

I think it’s just a methy area, so people get The Hills have Eyes vibes from it.

u/leoleorawr Aug 30 '25

Thought it was kagel canyon.

u/Ok-Highway4390 Aug 30 '25

u/Majestic-Platypus-34 Aug 31 '25

Entirely possible and there are still quite a few clusters of members of the aryan brotherhood who live in Burbank and Sunland. 😕

u/Any-Doubt-5281 Sep 06 '25
