Errol Flynn and Mulholland Farm.
During the 1930’s and 1940’s, Errol Flynn was one of the most popular and successful screen legends in Hollywood.
As his fame spread and his wealth grew, he built a house up in the undeveloped Hollywood Hills just off of Mulholland Dr.
The walls were constructed of stucco on the outside and wood paneling of the purest pine inside which he varnished.
It was THE place to party if you were a friend of Errol Flynn. If your name was on the Guest List you were “In like Flynn!”
What people didn’t know was that behind some of the walls were secret doors to secret rooms.
The Ladies Bathroom had two way mirrors and in other parts of the house he had secret rooms with viewing tubes
so he could watch in secret as various lovers used the guest bedrooms. He even had his own private Casino.
Flynn was a voyeur, a womanizer and a hell raiser with a taste for the alcohol, cocaine and young girls.
After being accused of violating the Mann Act (Statutory Rape) by two underage girls named Betty Hansen and Peggy Satterlee,
his career nearly came to a halt.
After the War, the global consciousness and worship of European heroes and swashbucklers changed.
In 1950, Jack Warner of Warner Brothers Studios began a new regime by clearing out his old stable of actors.
Unfortunately, Errol Flynn was one of them.
The Scandal and the Trial became a media circus with lurid images and testimony, but in spite of it all,
Flynn was found Innocent, thanks to the aggressive cross examinations of his Attorney.
On October 15, 1959 while in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Flynn suffered a fatal heart attack.
He was only 50 years old.
On the night he died it was reported that his entire house shook!
His body was shipped back to Los Angeles and he was buried in an unmarked grave at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale.
Many claimed, as they still do when an icon dies, that it was the end of an era.
After Flynn was laid to rest, it slowly became clear that he really wasn’t ready to go just yet.
His ghost was seen on his private yacht which was slowly rotting away in a port in Italy.
Mulholland Farm was purchased by the Hamblen Family in 1959, not long after Flynn died.
While living in the house they saw and heard things:
The ghost of a young naked woman walked through the front gates of the property.
A dark cloud was seen hovering in the hallway.
The bottom of the pool in the back yard was painted black and several “sensitives” have detected something menacing in its depths.
A bed was found to be blocking a secret staircase in the Master Bedroom….but it moved without the help of human hands.
Singer Ricky Nelson of the famous Ozzie and Harriet Family bought the house in 1980.
Almost immediately after moving in, Gunnar Nelson, Ricky’s son, felt that something about the house wasn’t right.
He claimed that it had a dark, malevolent, sexual energy that could at times become quite aggressive
and would psychically attack its inhabitants. Gunnar claimed that his father, Ricky was on of those and that the entity consumed him.
Lights went off and on in the middle of the night.
Tracy Nelson’s shower door opened and closed by itself.
The smell of cheap perfume would come from nowhere…and a dark presence came with it.
The reflections of a mans face were seen in a mirror opposite a peep-hole where Flynn could view the activity on the first floor of his home.
Ricky Nelson and members of his band died in a tragic plane crash just outside of DeKalb, Texas on New Years Eve, 1985.
after which the malevolent spirit of the house grew. The Nelsons feuded over the property and feelings of animosity
were present even at Ricky’s funeral where he was laid to rest near the graves of his parents at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills.
Errol Flynn’s magnificent house was demolished in 1988. Since then there has been no way to properly
investigate the paranormal activity at what remains of Mulholland Farm.
For now, it is and shall remain one of the greatest unsolved paranormal mysteries in Los Angeles History.

While there has been many accounts of activity at this location most of what you read is cut and paste jobs from other sites. I grew up in this neighborhood when Stuart owned it. I used to feed his horses on what was Mulhulland Farm. The unfortunate result of writing an article using other sites as sources is that important information that is gathered by doing the legwork and searching databases not online is missed.
One key element in your article is missing. It involves the former owner of the land. James Lankershim. There is a scandle and mystery that far surpasses Flynns exploits.
The common thread in the Nelson,Hamblin and Flynn stories is often left out because folks think it’s trivial. Without the details you’ve got nothing more than a campfire tale being passed off as sensational fact. All owners reported the unique impression that what haunts the location is “older”. For Nelson and Hamblin they meant older than Flynn. For Flynn and his house guests this meant… Something else.
It involves parcel of land that has no street address. It doesn’t appear on any map and is basically in (what was) Flynn’s back yard. Not to mention the lie that has been perpetuated for decades by, I kid you not, the Boyscouts of America. A coverup that continues to this day.
Get off the internet. Do the legwork. You’ll find that what you thought you knew about Mullhulland Farms is just the tip of a very bizzare iceberg.
This case is one that I use in my lectures as a reason to continue research beyond the internet.
do you know of any photos past or present day of the casino? I have a client that wants to pay homage and rebuild a replica casino, with poker room and chicken ring. 409 658 1970 thomas.massey@yahoo.com
