THE LOS FELIZ MURDER MANSION

Location: Los Feliz, CA
Accessibility: Private Residence / No Trespassing
Built: 1925
The mansion on Glendower Place had a humble and well-intended beginning. Built in a Spanish-Revival style, the home was sold on December 6th 1931 after it's first owner, Harry F. Schumacher died. After the death of it's second owner, the Perelson family moved in. What happened on December 6th, 1959, would forever change the family and the Mansion's place in history.

It was another typical evening for Dr. Harold, his wife Lillian and their children, Judye, Debbie and Joel. After dinner, the children and Lillian retired to bed. Around 4:30am, Dr.Harold stood over his wife's sleeping body and struck her in the back of the head with a ball-peen hammer.  After leaving the gruesome damage, he walked out and into Judye's room where he tried to strike her, but she awoke in the midst of the blow. She escaped and ran to a neighbor's house for help.  Dr. Harold locked himself into the bathroom and gulped down a mixture of nembutal, barbiturates and white pills and died fifteen minutes later. The motives of the murderous Dr. Harold are still unclear. Since that evening, the Mansion became legendary for being deemed haunted and a popular spot for ghost hunters, trespassers and paranormal activity.​

UPDATE...

In March of 2016, the mansion was emptied of it's 50-year-old furniture and put on the market for $2.75 million.  In July of 2016, the house sold to Gloria Allred's daughter, Lisa Bloom for $2.3 million.
