Turnbull Canyon in Whittier offers visitors a four mile hike through Puente Hills. Stories say it also offers some spirits, believed to be the ghosts of the 29 people who perished here in a plane crash in the 1950s. Local legend says there are some children lingering the area in spirit as well. They were believed to have been taken from an orphanage nearby and used in ritualistic sacrifices.
Along with these ghosts, the spirit of a teen who found some old electroshock equipment from the canyon's burnt-down asylum and fried his brain despite the site having no power, is known to linger the canyon as well. Natives call the area “Hutukngna,” meaning the place of the Devil.
