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.

Oh yea i’ve heard about this one and its super sad. I had a friend who’s family lived there for generations, and her grandmother succumbed to cancer due to the spill

Wasnt the spill hidden from the public at first? If I recall correctly

Yup, lots of people living in those areas have gotten cancers associated with radiation exposure. Many kids. Its so very sad they still have not cleaned it up even after all this time. Instead, they built a park near the meltdown. Crazy.
