Who knew that Nat King Cole's "Nature Boy" was written by a proto-hippie living in Big Tujunga Canyon in the 1950s? In the weird nature chapter, we learn the origin of the wild parrots of the valley, weird critters such as bats and horny toads, and oddball native plants such as dodder, a parasite that looks and feels like strings of bright orange plastic. And of course, Weird Crescenta Valley is rounded out by the usual assortment of local UFO and Bigfoot sightings, along with several chilling ghost stories. Don't be fooled by the Crescenta Valley's stable reputation. It's actually a weird place!

Autorenporträt
MIKE LAWLER is considered the go-to guy for the weirder aspects of local history. He has a natural affinity for the dark side of local heros and sees the twist in each local legend. Despite knowing where the bodies are buried, he loves the Crescenta Valley and its surprisingly weird history. With the help of the Historical Society of the Crescenta Valley, he compiles these odd facts from the past in several books and a weekly newspaper column. Mike has lived here all his life and plans to stay indefinitely. Who knows? Perhaps even after he dies.
