Dateline>City of Angels

I’m probably going to regret this. An open call for ghost stories is a sure way to attract crackpots, who will likely respond in far greater numbers than serious eye-witnesses. Nonetheless, here goes…

It’s no secret that for a while now, the legendary Feliz Curse has been a passion of mine. Thanks to years of rummaging through early California archives, I’ve finally got quite a compelling story to tell. (Without giving it all away, let’s just say truth is stranger than fiction and you can forget everything you’ve ever read about the tale from ghost hunters, historians and tourist websites…)

One thing I still need is modern-day reports of ghosts in Griffith Park, which I know are out there. I’ve seen a few on paranormal websites.

So, if you or anyone you know has witnessed something spooky in the park (that is, other than Tom LaBonge wandering the trails with urban ecologists), drop me a line through the comment link below.

But before you do, a few ground rules:

• Hoaxers need not apply. Your story must be serious, real and credible.
• You must provide your full name and a valid email address before I’ll even consider interviewing you. (The comments link does not auto-post, so don’t worry about your private info being made public. I will NOT post or publish full names or e-mail addresses without your express permission.)
• Don’t leave phone numbers. I’ll make my first contacts with potential interviewees through e-mail only.

OK, there’s my request. Let’s see what kind of monster I’ve created…
