A Dark Christmas Travel Guide to Los Angeles and Forest Lawn Glendale
This episode feels especially meaningful as we bring Season Three of Curious Travels by The Morbid Travel Guide to a close. Throughout this season, we explored death positivity, alternative burials, and dark tourism locations from New York City to Alaska. Your support and curiosity have meant so much to us.
Our thirteenth and final episode of 2025 looks at the Bloody Christmas events of Los Angeles in 1951, a moment of racial injustice that left deep wounds. The events of that night still remain a painful part of the Latino community’s history in Los Angeles and continue to be remembered today.
This episode also takes us to the quiet hillside of Forest Lawn Cemetery, where Edmund Gwenn, the actor who brought Santa Claus to life in Miracle on 34th Street, is laid to rest.
Placing these stories together reminded us why we create this podcast.
Dark tourism is not about shock but about listening, learning, and understanding the places where history’s light and darkness meet.
As we close this season, we are deeply grateful for everyone who has traveled with us. We will return in May 2026 with our first dark travel guide outside of the United States. Until then, we hope you enjoy our annual Christmas special and revisit the episodes that stayed with you.
We wish you all a happy holiday. Please don’t drink and drive.

A Dark Travel Guide to Macy's Department Store & Parade in NYC
Discover the hidden side of Macys in Herald Square. In the latest episode of Curious Travels by The Morbid Travel Guide, we move past the holiday lights to uncover the history most visitors never hear, a story shaped by courage, loss, and experiences that still echo through the building.
Macys is more than a landmark. Behind its bright displays is a past touched by tragedy and a lasting love story that shaped the store in ways most people never imagine. We follow the early owners whose fate became one of the most moving chapters connected to the Titanic, and explore the fires, accidents, and quiet mysteries that linger in the background of this famous space.
Join us as we step into the shadows of one of Americas most beloved landmarks and reveal why its history belongs at the heart of dark travel.

A Dark Guide to Austin, TX and Lady Bird Lake
In the newest episode of our Curious Travels podcast, we trace the tragic string of recent drownings at Lady Bird Lake, laying out the evidence and folklore related to the supposed “Rainey Street Ripper.” Many locals have unanswered questions, and we want to hear from you: Do you think Austin has a serial killer lurking in the shadows?
From True Crime tales both recent and past, to the famed hauntings of the Driscoll Hotel, we share how beneath the surface of one of Texas’ most visited travel destinations lies a history of tragedy that dark tourists can experience today.
