Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide, including real-life incidents and urban legends. Listener discretion is advised.

Step into the chilling shadows of Pasadena’s Colorado Street Bridge—infamously known as “Suicide Bridge”—in this haunting episode of The Scarecast. Mike explores the bridge’s tragic legacy, from its construction in 1913 through decades of sorrow, supernatural encounters, and stories shared by listeners and locals alike.

Episode Highlights:

• Discover the urban legend of a worker entombed in concrete and the real-life 1913 construction accident that claimed a life and may have sparked the bridge’s haunted reputation.
• Hear the heartbreaking story of Myrtle Ward, who, overwhelmed by despair, jumped from the bridge with her young daughter in 1937. Miraculously, her daughter survived, and this event led to the installation of the first suicide barrier.
• Listeners and locals report sightings of a sorrowful woman in white, believed to be Myrtle or a jilted bride, and a mysterious man in wire-rimmed glasses who silently wanders the bridge before vanishing. Underneath the bridge, some have heard chilling whispers like “her fault” and “jump.”
• The episode recounts the 2008 murder-suicide involving Walter Garcia, as well as the 2015 death of actor Sam Sarpong, highlighting the bridge’s ongoing struggle with its tragic reputation despite increased prevention efforts..
• Several Firsthand Paranormal Encounters (as detailed below)

  Listeners share spine-tingling experiences:  

  - Feeling unseen hands beneath the bridge  

  - Witnessing vanishing figures and “ghost jumpers”  

  - Hearing unexplained screams and voices  

  - Encounters with shadowy forms and sudden waves of sadness or fear

The episode concludes with a heartfelt reminder about the importance of mental health and suicide prevention, urging anyone struggling to reach out to the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 for immediate support.

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.

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.

In this episode, we explore a family's 15-year journey living alongside an unseen presence in their Victorian home. What began as mysterious footsteps evolved into tangible evidence when a motion-activated camera captured a translucent figure in the upstairs hallway. The story intertwines the family's experiences, their grandmother's antique collection, and the shocking revelation of not one, but two spectral entities in a single photograph.

The episode discusses the family's transition from skepticism to belief, the potential connection between inherited antiques and paranormal activity, and the challenges of coexisting with otherworldly residents.

Join us as we blur the line between the known and unknown, and ponder the question: How does a family continue living in a home they now know is shared with ghostly inhabitants?
