The Electrodome - A Forgotten Tale of Turnbull Canyon

[@robinpost9406]

I stumbled across this video on Facebook and what a shock it was when my Great Grandfather William Haight was mentioned To the maker of this video.. thank you! I would also like to know if you know anything else about my GG Grandfather. Our family didn't know too much about him and we definitely did not know this!! I'm pretty proud of him. Great video!!

[@Typcynic]

Great video that got me searching on-line for info. A William Haight did die in a car accident in 1934. Photos of the road and car are available in the USC photo archive. It lists a Moritz Funeral Home which I assume is where the body was sent. No Moritz is currently operating in Los Angeles but there are two places in NY and NJ. They started business in 1934. Mr Haight lived at 616 N. Normandy Ave in Los Angeles per an LA Times article. Also mentioned that a test was conducted in 1927 near Pasadena. Odd since other articles report his lab was in Montebello. The large-scale test was not conducted on NYE 1929. An article published on Jan 1, 1933 reported that the test was scheduled with-in the next two weeks. While I don't believe that his system would cause wide-scale rain, I do accept that he may have been affecting the micro-climate by enhancing rain formation in the localized area.

+mike shawn From Whittier ..Just stumbled across this video ... for a short time I lived in Montebello in the 80"s, and knew of someone that worked at a Funeral Home in Montebello ....called Moritz ! It is now called Funeraria Del Angel : 913 W. Whittier Blvd. .....FYI

[@doughaight418]

That's my grandpa!

[@MDRTales]

Def a chilling story on a stormy weekend! Good Job!

[@tomasstomjenkins]

I can't wait until you get to the NIKE missile silo. I love hearing stories about the area we are in. My favorite story of the area I learned about in a California History Class was the battle of Rio Hondo. Thank you for your videos and I always get excited when a new one pops up.

[@luketorres1408]

this content is deserving of much more Kudos amazing thank you very much

[@coreymacgregor176]

I love this documentary. The other are also great. So far this one’s my favorite. Subscribed and thank you

[@tulrob]

Your shows are fantastic. I wish you could do a show on the Glendale Grand Central Air terminal and the Incline railway above Altadena..

[@renesanchez5333]

You have to make more videos of Whittier

[@BeingAngelic83]

What the!! I moved to Whittier 2 years ago and I am now just learning about this? OMG!

[@jeffcampbell8404]

wonder if that is the house ( foundation at the top of sky line drive??...right below is a burned down house,,now foundation ( hellgates ) ..where we use to skate the pool that was there...its now been jack hammered and buried so it now is un skate able

[@xdialga361445x]

jeff campbell the pool that has the satanic items in it isnt there a house there where the satanist go to get there itms for rituals

[@yeaitsmemikec.2018]

its me mike I was on a brothers YT........the pool was there for decades..people skated it in the 70s.....all I remember was the pool and a chimney and the ''hell gates'' ... a little bit above at the highest peek at top of the drive way at sky line dr was a plat form with a 12 pointed zodiac painted on the ground...where I assume some rituals took place ( I have no idea when ) I remember a huge tree log was along the wall up the drive way.,.rumors were people would drive up there and get trapped in...but I don't know if true or rumor......ive never seen satanic items..other than the painted zodiac.....I hike the canyon often now.....I don't see any thing unusual......same time the pool was buried..so was that platform with the zodiac sign

[@yeaitsmemikec.2018]

im thinking the place where the platform was with the zodiac......... was about where this dome was.....@ ...that is the highest peek and use to be a shed there......one water tower remains..there use to be a hollow water tower with a couch inside in the 90s I remember....I only see one now and it is a functioning water tower...probably for irrigation for the canyon

[@ZenWorld]

Great Job

[@rickcampos8028]

Very cool video.

[@ERNWALACE]

Wow, awesome info. Love the local stories!

[@dburch7894]

In the 60’s we would Cruz about Turnbull Canyon at night. The guys liked to scare the hell outta us girls with tales of haunted old abandoned houses and the hand!!!☠️👻

[@deadheat5248]

We use to drive down Turnbull Canyon at night with the headlights turned off. Also told stories about the hand, and the midgets house.

[@grandasdos]

wow I didn't know about electrodome. Good research.

[@thelivingmanpart2]

holy shit! great stuff!!!!!!

[@ZantiMisfit198]

William Haight was murdered by the politics of water.

[@djsolo25]

Good stuff!!!!

[@whatsupsuperman0]

good video. what was that song at the end it sounds familiar.

[@forgottensocal]

whatsupsuperman0 It's AC-DC's Thunderstruck.

[@whatsupsuperman0]

Forgotten Tales thank you and sorry for the question. Forgot to look at the credits, sorry again

[@forgottensocal]

whatsupsuperman0 No problem at all.

[@anthonyg8805]

Great video! Approximately where in the canyon was this dome? Is it visible from the water tower hike?

[@forgottensocal]

Anthony G Right where Turnbull Canyon Road meets Skyline. Just North west of the Singing Kettle Tea House.

[@lucillehouseholder9853]

Thank you for doing all this research. I realize it was extensive. I wonder if Mr. Dodrill was the same man for whom Dodrill Hall at St. Mathews church is named. Also, the correlation between Tesla and this electric invention makes lots of sense. are there any remnants of the tower still up there off of Turnbull Canyon. Seems to be sort of close to the old Hacienda Heights Woman's Clubhouse (was North Whittier). I do know of a woman who is 100 with mental faculties who was a member of the club back then who may recall something - as there were few homes there then.

[@forgottensocal]

I do know Dodrill Drive off of Hacienda blvd is named after him. I believe that his ranch house once stood about where the OLD Taco bell stands today. I went up there to look at the area... the area if fenced off poorly. I imagine its fenced off because of the old well. But someone has been down there before and vandalized the gate. it was easy to look around in there. Then the bushes inside the gate rustled.. something was living in there. probably a deer, but i wasnt going to take any chances, I took that as a que to move on. The only other thing I saw up there was a large bent pipe sticking out of the ground.

[@jeffthompson303]

@@forgottensocal Good idea to not stick around that could of been a bum and that might not have been a pipe sticking up.

[@bobbypaluga4346]

A great series so well researched. Electrify was thought to be the key to solving al matter of problems by shooting electrify at an object, or the sky. Medical conditions such as infection, arthritis, and backaches. Skin burns or electrocution were the only real results, there were no cures. Most everyone has seen the pictures from the era showing women with small towers of tangled wires and metal clips which when charged with voltage would curl to hair or complete a permanent, shocks, burns, and a few deaths followed, as well as curly hair. We don’t know all that electrify can do but so much more than the “ fun” days when inventors filled the sky with manmade lightening another interesting episode of an odd character.

[@misslovelylove9262]

I Heard of Hells Gates down Turnbull Canyon I wonder if that place has anything to do with this Electrodome? I seen footage of the area by others and It kind of matches the description of where this thing might be located. There was a old abandoned shack looking thing. I bet they torn down that dome a long time ago.Pretty cool Story there so much to Whittier I still don't know yet. I wonder if they have any Hysterical buildings?......... I like what they did to the old train tracks. they put some info there on how Whittier use to be like.

[@forgottensocal]

I assure you that the Electrodome has nothing to do with "Hell's Gate." that place was an old house that burned down in the 1989 Turnbull Canyon fire. no more... no less. The history in Turnbull canyon is a lot more rich than those gates.

[@misslovelylove9262]

Forgotten Tales So It's not true then about Hells Gates Everone makes such a bigg fuss over it.

[@forgottensocal]

Priscila Nunez It's a house that burned down. Id really like to be able to say that it would make a great documentary... but, it just wouldn't.. Its a boring story. However, I did think about making a video about it... it probably wouldn't be any longer than 30 seconds though. HAHA.

[@boracho9964]

Imagine funding such an experiment for a trivial amount of $1,800?

[@nanoff815]

Is there a story behind that weird water tower with tons of grafiti? U know the on right

[@frankn.5439]

Was this the cause of the downfall of the Whittier Murphy Ranch ?

[@ManuelGarcia-ki4vc]

i smell a conspiracy!!

[@brianmiles4377]

Now wait. I saw that size of a flash in the canyon maybe 5 years ago late at night. I live only a mile from the entrance and was facing east. Anyone else?

[@olderolderman4603]

Go to Gravity Hill. Turnbull Canyon

[@mikecohen3274]

Yup birth of harp! Heard if first on Infowars from Alex Jones no wait I heard it first on forgotten tales lol

[@forgottensocal]

No fake news here.

[@nicoblaytherealflamingo445]

Its still work to this day even more so. I see it attached onto the sheriff planes 3 times a night all tge planes are flying much lower past few montha after not seeing any planes for a year and my view is directly colima road

[@goobercheese8330]

When i get really bad gas from taco bell my farts cause floods and earthquakes and wreaks havoc.

[@geopin7672]

Theres portal there

[@RedBaronlives]

Back in the 70s my friend and I would ride our BMX bikes up turnbull and our mission was to see "the kook". I never understood what made the person "the kook". Does any of the other whitterites know of the legend of "the kook" of turnbull?

[@blowingtrees2]

J.P. Morgan: Tesla wants to give free energy huh? Not on my watch! Tesla is dead and our money till this day goes to utility bills and in to Banks secured by J.P. Morgan company. We are live stock to the rich!

[@AprilsgettingcraftyinTexas]

The Corruption runs deep, doesn't it? Almost like this entire area was built with something bizarre in mind all along...

[@johnklar5131]

And 45 years after this, people thought a 100 mile per gallon Ford Mustang was built by Smokey Yunick. At least Smokey laughed at the thought. People will always believe shit like this.

[@forgottensocal]

I can assure you that I am not a conspiracy guy. I researched this story to debunk any myths that may have come with it. The science is sound. And the stuff with Russia and Australia is true. If you still think Im full of it, prove me wrong... I would love to hear about your findings. might want to start here. www.australianrain.com.au/

[@theshyguitarist]

Reminds me of Tesla, the govt's Philadelphia experiment, and now HAARP.

[@arnulfogonzalez7476]

Frankenstein...

[@blip1]

Seriously?

[@libertytwp1]

The beginning of HAARP!

[@choncha23]

Of course he died.
