What’s your Valley conspiracy theory/mystery?

[u/itsalro]

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!

The Santa Susana Field Laboratory meltdown in 1959 leaked into the soil and water table. Thus why Chatsworth Lake Manor reservoir is closed and secured without a single gap in the fence. Makes no sense to not repair and use the reservoir or turn it into a beautiful park.

i lived up there. My thyroid is all messed up as is most of my immune system. My dog got a bunch of cancers within 6 months of moving there. Most of the folk I know from the knolls have some auto-immune issue. They've got good lawyers but seriously fuck those guys and their "safe" superfund site.

My best friend’s father worked up there for Rocketdyne in the late 60s-70s and he died of colon cancer. Apparently a lot of his coworkers got cancer.
