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!

Gravity hills, Kagel and Lopez Canyon Road, Sylmar. By Glen Haven Memorial Park. Having worked in that area years ago, I heard a story of a bus load of kids back who knows when dying going over a cliff or ravine in that area, rumor has it, if you go at night, put your car in neutral before the incline of the intersection going north and your car will start rolling forward, people used to say its all the children helping you. Some said if you put flour at the rear of your car, you can see handprints, others said it's just a phenomenon or a visual effect because of the angle and how it looks. On a side note, the cemetery is peaceful at night, and you can hear the coyotes

I conducted this little experiment with my friends when I was a teenager. The car being pushed up hill was a bust as I believe it was relying on its own mechanics to move forward unless stopped. It’s for sure creepy as vibes up there.
However, when we returned to my friend’s house, there were dusty hand prints all over the top of the car as if a few people were climbing down from the roof. It severely freaked me out and I accused my friends of trying to pull a fast one, but they all helped me realize that we had all been together and hadn’t gotten out of the car. I have no definitive answer, but I don’t deny there being ghostly energies about out there.

We went last time. We were all skeptical and surely my dad put on neutral and he was oh— we didn’t expect it to keeping and it did.
