| 0:00.0 | In today's episode, we're heading back into the hauntings of Turnbull Canyon and Puente Hills near Whittier, California. |
| 0:08.1 | But this time, we're leaving the history books behind and stepping straight into the creepy encounters that you've commented and sent in over the last few years. |
| 0:19.1 | But before I dive into the stories, I'll give some brief background on what people typically |

| 1:43.8 | were halfway into the canyon. |
| 1:46.1 | And at that point in the mountain, almost all phone service cuts out. |
