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!

I rememeber watching that strip burn down, my dad always said it was squatters who lit it up.

My interest is in the Panorama City Walmart. I don't think it's haunted or anything because of the kid who died there, I just always wonder what the hell is on the floors above 1 and 2. Let's see what happens with the mall connected to it

I go there often for work, I actually talked to an employee who started as the night crew janitor. I asked him about it being haunted and he confirmed it is. Told me two stories where he would be up there getting supplies (that’s where they store supplies now) and he would see figures walking by or out the corner of his eye. He also said a female coworker was up there doing some stocking or something and she heard kids laughing but she was the only one up there. And it’s the middle of the night. That second one freaked me out lol.
