The Scarecast: Scary Stories, Mysteries, and True Crime

Step into the shadows of Galster Wilderness Park—one of Southern California’s most talked‑about haunted locations, hidden in the hills of West Covina and wrapped in decades of urban legends, ghost stories, and first‑hand encounters from locals and listeners alike. In this episode, I’m not just revisiting the park’s eerie reputation—I’m finally taking you deep into the stories that have flooded my inbox and comments for years. After more than a decade of doing this podcast, I’m officially going all‑in full time alongside my social media channels, which means more episodes, more investigations, and a lot more nightmare fuel on a consistent basis—so make sure you’re following and have notifications turned on so you don’t miss what’s coming next. I start by exploring the true history of Galster Wilderness Park—42 acres of donated hillside land meant to be a peaceful nature preserve—and how it somehow became ground zero for chilling tales of missing children, occult activity, and a presence that seems to watch from just beyond the tree line. From there, we break down the infamous “Galster Park Butcher” legend: the story of a shadowy killer in a shack, trails that supposedly lead straight to his hideout, and the rumors of KKK gatherings and dark rituals that have only added fuel to the park’s already sinister reputation—despite the fact that no official records have ever confirmed a serial killer operating there. You’ll hear about the ghost boy said to appear at the south entrance around midnight, his form changing from a terrified child warning you away to an older figure beckoning you inside, along with the unsettling prom‑night encounter from a Reddit user who claims to have seen a boy with no eyes and a mouth full of darkness. We also dig into reports surrounding the park’s water tower and trail crossings, where visitors describe oppressive energy, the feeling of being watched from all directions, and a mid‑30s man said to have died by suicide there—contrasted with the one confirmed death on record: a man found hanging from a tree at the south end of the park in June 2013, ruled an apparent suicide by authorities. From disembodied children’s laughter and invisible swings that move on their own, to unexplained handprints on car windows and rocks thrown from the darkness, paranormal teams and casual visitors alike report signs of an intelligent, reactive haunting that seems to follow people long after they’ve left the park. Then we dive into listener stories you won’t find in any article: A man who appears at the park entrance and somehow follows a car all the way back to Baldwin Park.A towering shadow figure that glides across the road with no visible feet, disappearing into the trees.An afternoon at the playground where a swing starts moving on its own, a lone doll in a white dress mysteriously vanishes, and an empty park suddenly doesn’t feel empty at all.A night where robed figures gather in a circle around a “baby” at the playground, chanting and advancing toward parked cars as dread settles over everyone watching.Plastic bags filled with children’s clothes hanging from a tree, a motionless dog in the lot, and a lingering question: what exactly is happening in those woods after dark?Multiple accounts of unseen kids laughing and playing in an otherwise silent, empty park, and giggles that travel from the playground to the locked bathroom with no living source in sight. If this episode gives you chills, don’t forget to follow and subscribe to the podcast, drop a rating and review, and share it with a friend who loves creepy locations, urban legends, or late‑night drives to haunted parks. I’m planning a part two for Galster Park, so if you’ve had your own experience there—or at any other haunted spot—send your story in.

On this episode of The Scarecast, we’re diving deep into the haunted heart of Inglewood, California - a city where the past lingers in the shadows and every landmark seems to have a story to tell. In this episode, we’ll unravel chilling tales from three of Inglewood’s most infamous sites: Inglewood Park Cemetery, the old Airport Park View Hotel (now The Lum Hotel), and Centinela Park, now known as Edward Vincent Jr. Park. Inglewood Park Cemetery is more than just a final resting place for Hollywood legends-it’s a hotspot for ghostly encounters. Listeners have shared stories of vanishing hitchhikers, mysterious figures in mariachi suits, and the laughter of unseen children echoing through the night. But the cemetery isn’t the only place where the supernatural seeps through the city’s surface. The Airport Park View Hotel, now The Lum Hotel, sits on land with a reputation for restless spirits. Across town, Centinela Park-renamed Edward Vincent Jr. Park-holds its own dark secrets. Beyond the ghost stories and eerie feelings, the park was the site of one of Inglewood’s most tragic crimes: the 1937 abduction and murder of three young girls, an event that cast a shadow over the community for generations. Whether you’re a lifelong local or just passing through, Inglewood’s haunted history is impossible to ignore. So turn down the lights, lock your doors, and join us as we explore the true horror stories that make Inglewood one of Southern California’s most haunted cities.

In this chilling podcast episode, we dive into a terrifying encounter that occurred 20 years ago in Commerce, California. A group of friends, out for a night of harmless fun, stumbled upon something they couldn't explain near a massive Scientology building on Sheila Avenue. Finding a quiet place to park so they can drink and smoke would bring them to this particular parking lot. They parked facing the building, only to spot a shadowy figure at the top of a staircase visible through the glass windows. What happened next defies explanation: the figure bolted down the stairs at an inhuman speed, seemingly floating, before bursting out of the building in pursuit of the panicked friends. The episode details the heart-pounding chase that ensued, with the entity - described as a pale, bald figure in a black suit with no discernible face - sprinting after their car at impossible speeds. The friends fled in terror, eventually finding refuge in one of their backyards.

Whether or not you believe these tales, they’re all claimed to be real experiences. We’re kicking things off with a story about a man suffering from long COVID. According to a quick Google search, long COVID is a chronic condition that lasts for at least three months and can affect one or more organ systems, either continuously, in relapses, or progressively. The person in this story has been dealing with it for two years. At one point, his health takes a turn for the worse, but then he has a mysterious encounter that he believes triggers a healing phase. Coupled with bizarre lights in the sky and paranormal encounters in his bedroom, this experience leaves him questioning whether his sudden improvement is just a coincidence—or something more. Story #1: Something was with me in my room last night, i asked it to heal me and it did.

On the morning of July 31st, 2004, during a camping trip at Big Bear Lake, David vanished without a trace while attempting to retrieve a box of cookies from the family truck just 50 yards away from the Big Bear campground. Despite a massive search effort, David's remains was only discovered a year later, raising more questions than answers. Was it a mountain lion attack, a kidnapping, or something more sinister? Join us as we explore the theories, the investigation, and the unanswered questions surrounding this heartbreaking case. Tune in to unravel the mystery and pay tribute to David's memory. Old Chair Photography Lab Location (David's Memorial Accross Street - Unconfirmed): 39185 N Shore Dr, Fawnskin, CA 92333 Instagram Video: https://www.instagram.com/p/C7Xs6TjP76x/ Instagram Comments Mentioned: @camelia1506 - Just terrible but glad that his remains were found to help parents have closure with their son. Otherwise parents would be still looking for him. Rip little angel. @cesar_chingon_number_1 - I was just a little kid still when this happened. And strangely to this day i think alot about this little boys missing case. A few years ago i took my jeep to big bear and several times after that one day after wheeling i was airing up my tires , i looked over and there he was. His smiling face just as i remembered seeing him on tv. Its a memorial plaque located across the street from old chair photography lab in fawnskin Ca. If you ever go there please be respectful and say a prayer for little David. May he rest in peace. We may never know the truth of what happened to him. @jessneedsaninstaa - ight ?! I have a 9 year old as well and I am so paranoid I won’t let her walk to the mailbox without her holding one of our dogs and me and the other dogs watching from the door!! You never know who is lurking, or who is even living next door or across the street. Always be aware and alert !!! @mikeperrry620 - Kids go outside and play all the time without parents watching. It's ridiculous to blame the mom, the car was only fifty feet away. @noddika - I knew him, he was a twin. His mom used to make dresses for me when I was little. Last time I saw him he was jumping on the bed with his brother while we picked up one of my dresses. It was so terrible when we heard what happened. Be kind in the comments, the family went through a lot. 🤍 Sources https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-jun-03-me-bones3-story.html https://www.espn.com/outdoors/hunting/news/story?id=2075458 https://mountainlion.org/2005/06/03/lion-attack-theory-abandoned/ https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=124433&page=1 https://www.recordnet.com/story/news/2004/08/06/search-goes-on-for-missing/50697700007/ Connect With Me Make sure to follow @thescarecast on both TikTok and Instagram for thrilling content. https://www.instagram.com/thescarecast/ https://www.tiktok.com/@thescarecast?lang=en Subscribe to my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@scarecast and stay updated with my latest videos.
