Turnbull Canyon
Hey,
Does any one know where the asylum is at Turnbull Canyon?
I have to do a documentary about Turnbull and was hoping to film some parts at the asylum. I just don’t know where the asylum is.
Thanks in advance!

haha, i heard there was an insane asylum, a guy that hung himself on a tree, indian burial ground, and a haunted house where a little girl tripped next to the pool and died, and at the same time mother set the house on fire.

The cult, however, was not the only veiled historical account that was remembered by the older residents. Apparently, during the 1930’s, there also used to be a hospital in the canyon. According to a woman wanting to be called “Esther”, this was an insane asylum. “Esther” claimed to be a former nurse at this institution, and said that most of the patients would have been diagnosed with some form of mental retardation had they lived today. Unfortunately, they lived in a time when electro shock therapy, lobotomies, and other barbaric practices were common place. “Esther” stated that the hospital was destroyed in a fire at the beginning of the 40s. According to her, she and a doctor were the only survivors. All the patients and the majority of the staff perished. Though no historical documents could be found, her story was corroborated by an elderly man who was passing by and overheard the conversation. The site of the hospital supposedly lies at the end of a dirt road that has been closed to the public for many years. Prior to meeting “Esther”, while exploring the canyon once, I observed, with a friend of mine who wishes not to be named, a police cruiser pulling out from the entrance to this road. The police car, however, was not a contemporary car. It looked like a restored car that was used in old movies from the WWII era. When “Esther” re-told her story of the hospital and of its location, a chill ran down my spine.

i dont think turnbull canyon was around in the 1930's and if it was, it could not have been much but dirt and hills. Hacienda heights did not develop until the mid-1970's. There's much history in the hills of turnbull, whittier and hacienda. Most are folklore and myth with everyone keeping the mystery alive by sparking the curious. There's a bunhc of nice homes, great streets to practice driving, even some great views of the city. Turnbull will always be the mystery in Hacienda heights. Whatever you hear about Turnbull, its like reading in the tabloids.
