King Arthur Baking reminded me it’s National Parchment Day, and me without a single decoration hung! I’m so ashamed.

The Cecil Hotel Ghost Photo

The Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles is notorious for its dark and haunted history: serial killer Richard Ramirez (The Night Stalker) and “Black Dahlia” murder victim Elizabeth Short had both stayed there, and the building has played host to numerous gruesome deaths – the most recent of which involved the body of a missing student discovered in a rooftop water tank after hotel guests reported foul-smelling black water coming from their taps.Now it seems a new ghostly guest has signed in at the Cecil, as reported by L.A. affiliate KABC: this week their website revealed the photo, taken by Riverside resident Koston Alderete, which seems to depict a spectral figure outside a window on the building’s fourth floor.

"When I looked at that window, it just looked kind of creepy to me,” Alderete told KABC, “and then I showed my friend, and he kind of freaked out.” He also claims to have suffered nightmares after taking the photo.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KABC) -- At least three people were injured Thursday after a pickup truck crashed into the Bakersfield Christmas parade route.

It happened around 5:30 p.m. Officers with the Bakersfield Police Department were in the area preparing for the parade when they heard the sound of a vehicle accelerating.

Police said officers saw a white pickup truck hit three men at the parade -- a 21-year-old, a 42-year-old and a 77-year-old. They were all rushed to the hospital where they remain in stable condition.

The driver, identified only as a 72-year-old man, was quickly taken into custody after the crash.

Witnesses said the driver was reportedly upset that the road was closed and then sped through an alleyway onto the parade route where families were setting up to watch.

"The driver entered the truck and backed up northbound through the alley at a high rate of speed striking the three spectators," said police in a press release.

Investigators said alcohol intoxication played a role in the collision.

This crash remains under investigation.

LA's Morrison Hotel, made famous by Doors album, to become affordable housing

By ABC7.com staff

Wednesday, December 20, 2023 1:02AM

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The Morrison Hotel in Los Angeles - made famous by the legendary Doors' album of the same name - is set to become affordable housing.

The AIDS Healthcare Foundation acquired the downtown LA hotel property for $11.9 million earlier this month and plans to convert the building into 111 units of low-income housing.

On hand to make the announcement Tuesday were Doors drummer John Densmore, 79, and photographer Henry Diltz, who shot the iconic album cover more than 50 years ago.

"The people who work in the city can't afford to live in the city, so the Morrison Hotel is now going to be a solution to that problem," Densmore said.

The single-room occupancy hotel was built in 1914.

The Doors made the hotel's front facade famous when band members snuck in while the clerk was busy and Diltz quickly shot a series of photos under the "Morrison Hotel" lettering, with singer Jim Morrison front and center in the window.

The 1970 album is highly regarded in rock history, featuring classics such as "Roadhouse Blues" and "Peace Frog."

The AHF says a developer had originally planned to demolish the building and turn it into a luxury hotel, but the developer defaulted on the loan. AHF's plans call for adaptive reuse of the existing structure, "saving a piece of rock and roll history."

O Morrison Hotel de Los Angeles, que ficou famoso pelo álbum Doors, se tornará uma habitação a preços acessíveis

LOS ANGELES (KABC) – O Morrison Hotel em Los Angeles – que ficou famoso pelo lendário álbum de mesmo nome do Doors – está prestes a se tornar uma habitação acessível.

A AIDS Healthcare Foundation adquiriu o hotel no centro de Los Angeles por US$ 11,9 milhões no início deste mês e planeja converter o edifício em 111 unidades de habitação de baixa renda.

Presentes para fazer o anúncio na terça-feira estavam o baterista do Doors, John Densmore, 79, e o fotógrafo Henry Diltz, que fotografou a icônica capa do álbum há mais de 50 anos.

"As pessoas que trabalham na cidade não têm dinheiro para viver na cidade, por isso o Morrison Hotel será agora uma solução para esse problema", disse Densmore.

O hotel para ocupação de quarto individual foi construído em 1914.

The Doors tornou a fachada frontal do hotel famosa quando os membros da banda entraram furtivamente enquanto o funcionário estava ocupado e Diltz rapidamente tirou uma série de fotos sob as letras "Morrison Hotel", com o cantor Jim Morrison na frente e no centro da janela.

O álbum de 1970 é altamente considerado na história do rock, apresentando clássicos como “Roadhouse Blues” e “Peace Frog”.

A AHF diz que um desenvolvedor planejou originalmente demolir o prédio e transformá-lo em um hotel de luxo, mas o desenvolvedor não pagou o empréstimo. Os planos da AHF prevêem a reutilização adaptativa da estrutura existente, "salvando um pedaço da história do rock and roll".

Ng's family said they stopped hearing back from her on October 19. They also received a cryptic call from the retreat's organizer informing them of her disappearance. The Guatemalan Navy began search-and-rescue efforts the same day, but suspended the search after 72 hours without any leads.

"We don't really know exactly what happened," Nancy's brother Jonathan Ng told NBC. "The witnesses that were able to see what happened have not been extremely communicative."

The rescuers have spent the past few weeks scouring the murky volcanic lake with boats, aircraft, and drones, but have found no sign of the missing woman. Chris Sharpe, the owner of Black Wolf Helicopters, said that many witnesses have not been forthcoming and have since returned to the United States. "For me, this is now becoming a criminal investigation," he told ABC.

Nancy went missing on Oct. 19 during a "Be the Change" yoga retreat organized by Los Angeles instructor Eduardo Rimada. She went off on a kayaking excursion in Lake Atitlan with around ten people, including a San Bernardino County public defender named Christina Blazek. Blazek was allegedly the last person who saw Nancy before she disappeared, and Ng's family has desperately sought answers from Blazek but was met with silence for weeks, before Blazek finally spoke out - through her attorney. And this was only after the private search-and-rescue firm hired by the family to continue efforts on the ground, released Blazek's name in a press release to encourage her to come forward.

G. Christopher Gardner, Blazek's attorney, said in an interview with KABC-TV of Los Angeles last Wednesday that his client had tried to warn Nancy of the lake's rough waters when they were out kayaking right before she disappeared.

"[Blazek] kept one leg in her kayak and one leg in [Nancy's] kayak and tried to get back to her...and got close to her," Gardner told KABC. "And then apparently, [Blazek] lost the kayak again and she turned around to go back to get the kayak again, and when she turned back around, Ms. Ng was gone."

"If it is like she says and it is an accident, I don't understand how she could choose to leave my family in the dark for almost four weeks, and not just say that from the start," Ng's sister Nicky told ABC 7 LA.

But Blazek's account has prompted new questions from the family and resurfaced ones they've had.

"Nancy's a good swimmer. I don't understand how this could have happened. Was she struggling for a long time? Did Christina hear her scream or yell for help?" Nicky said. "What was the scope? The circumstances? Did she just disappear? Was there a land nearby that she could have swam? I had no context or not enough context of what was going on. So those are the same questions we still have today."

Gardner claims that his client didn't come forward sooner because she needed time to herself after going through the "traumatic experience."

Nancy's disappearance, however, has been even more devastating for the family of six, Nicky said.

"When we think about the [possibility of] drowning, my dad, he takes it really hard because he taught Nancy how to swim," Nicky said. "I think they're taking it really hard, and at the same time, they're trying to be strong for me and my brothers."

Nicky added that the search for Nancy, who worked with special needs children, has been difficult for the students she was close with as well.

"We have had a lot of her clients' parents reach out to us and just say Nancy had a special connection with their child and that their child now doesn't understand why Nancy's not back," Nicky said.

The investigation is ongoing and the FBI continues to interview witnesses in the case.

Earlier this month, the owners of the kayak company used by Ng before she vanished said the group she was with 'immediately clammed up' after she disappeared. Lee and Elaine Beal, the proprietors of Kayak Guatemala, said that ten people went out on the excursion, but only eight returned - with Ng and another woman seen paddling further into the body of water.

Eventually the woman returned to shore alone, with no sign of Ng.

"No one in the group was interested in talking to anybody," Lee told Good Morning America. "It was almost like, immediately clamming up and like we are not going to say anything."

The group failed to pay the owners then all left the country 'within 12 hours' of the suspected accident, which struck Elaine Beal as odd.

"They didn't say a word to us. I just don't understand that part, leaving within 12 hours," she added.

The couple described how they were watching the group, with Ng and the female kayaker about 100 yards away. The women continued paddling until they were out of sight.

The next thing the couple saw was a distress signal, before the woman returned alone.

"I witnessed the survivor being ushered up the steps," Elaine added. "She was clearly distressed."

Guatemalan authorities had struggled to locate the woman who was last with Nancy, or the tour guide as they left the country.

“Of course it's kitsch, and of course our love for every cult figure gets called kitsch when we want to separate the suffering it requires to create a symbol that lives in the world from the ravages of one's own life.”

W. Scott Poole, Vampira: Dark Goddess of Horror

April 30th 1954 marked the debut of Miss Maila Nurmi as the horror icon Vampira on Los Angeles tv station KABC, premiering fittingly at midnight. She was televisions first horror host, opening the creaking door for all those to come after. Monster kids across the good old US of A owe miss Nurmi a debt gratitude.
