THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Devil's Gate Dam is surrounded by decades of dark folklore involving occult rituals, mysterious disappearances, shadowy figures, and stories that the horned rock formation marks a supernatural gateway.
Devil's Gate Dam and the surrounding Arroyo Seco have developed one of the Los Angeles area's most enduring supernatural legends. The site takes its name from a natural rock formation said to resemble the profile of a horned figure. Over the decades, stories have connected the area with occult rituals, mysterious disappearances, shadowy figures, and claims that the site acts as a supernatural gateway. Rocket scientist and occultist Jack Parsons is also historically associated with occult activity in the Arroyo Seco area. The paranormal claims remain folklore rather than established fact.
