California mansion remains vacant for 60 years due to disturbing reason

For six decades, a lavish California mansion in the outskirts of Los Angeles has remained uninhabited due to its unsettling past, with its current owners steadfastly declining to occupy it.

The luxurious residence, known as 2475 Glendower Place, features five bedrooms spanning 5,000 square feet. Despite being listed multiple times in the past decade, each new owner left it vacant before attempting to resell it.

After sitting unoccupied for sixty years, the building has begun to decay.

There stood a yellow wood staircase visible through an arched window, its decay evident. Despite attempts by the current owners to sell it in 2022, no buyers were enticed.

Dating back to its construction in 1925, the house carries a dark history, perhaps deterring potential buyers. Originally owned by Harold and Florence Schumacher, who made it their family abode, tragedy struck when both passed away within weeks of each other in 1928.

Adding to the eerie atmosphere, two years later, magazine editor Welford Beaton and his son Donald became residents of the home.

Shortly after moving into their new home, Donald fell ill and passed away at the young age of 21.

The narrative took a darker turn in 1956 when Harold Perelson, a physician, along with his wife Lillian and their three children, Judy, Joel, and Debbie, relocated to the same residence.

During this period, Harold’s medical practice was struggling with significant debt, placing immense pressure on their family dynamics.

In a letter to a relative, 18-year-old Judy detailed the financial strain and resulting tensions between her parents.

Tragically, on December 6, 1959, Harold fatally struck his wife Lillian with a ball-peen hammer while she slept. He then proceeded to Judy’s room, attacking her, though she miraculously survived.

The screams jolted awake her younger sister Debbie, whom their father reassured, “Go back to bed, sweetheart – it’s just a bad dream.”

Seeking refuge at a neighbor’s house, Judy received medical attention from the resident, Marshal Ross.

By the time Ross had contacted the authorities and they arrived to apprehend Harold, he had ingested 31 pentobarbital tablets, resulting in an overdose.

Records indicate that the father of three had spent a week in a psychiatric hospital just a year earlier, where he was prescribed chlorpromazine, an antipsychotic commonly used for treating schizophrenia.

The property gained notoriety as the “Los Feliz Murder Mansion,” as reported by the LA Times.
