  • S9E4: Inglewood Horror Stories (Inglewood Park Cemetery, Airport Park View Hotel, and Centinela Park)
    May 19 2025

    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. This is The Scarecast, Season 9, Episode 4: Inglewood Horror Stories.
