I am a prop maker that works on the Sony (formerly MGM) lot. With Covid and the recent writers strike the lot has been slow so I’ve been trashed with lot maintenance and preservation. In this I have now had the chance to access every building in the lot, for work of course not ghost hunting lol. As far as my knowledge goes I know the lot is old, Triangle Studios owned it before MGM took over sometime in the early 1920s, MGM sold to Sony in the late 1980s, and that’s really all there is to know on the age of the lot.
My experience happened very recently, about a week ago. A crew or workers have been tasked to work near an old building called the “Thalberg Bulding”, named after Irving Thalberg who was one of the 3 owners of the original MGM along. The bulding was named after him shortly after his death in 1936 and is decorated with lots of his awards and memorabilia. We are working outside giving us access to the basement. The basement is where all the activities happen. Many many many reliable sources starting telling other co works stories, from light turning on and off to cold chills and gusts of air. The one story, besides mine, that holds the most evidence was about 3 weeks ago. Sony had shut down power to the entire lot for normal maintenance. While the power was off a foreman and a worker (who had an experience) went down to the basement. Once down there they opened one of the 4 doors in there and behind them in the basement the light turns on and off fast. There was zero way for this to happen, absolutely zero way. We had confirmed again after with the electricians that power was off, it was..
So my story goes.. I went down last week with an SLS. Myself and a coworker who handed been, we ventured in to the basement. Right away the vibe was lame, light where on and someone had been down there to work. We decided to enter on of the rooms. Two rooms host old theaters, I can’t find the history on them, the third continues to a service hallway, and the fourth is an electrical and plumbing closet. We get into one of the movie theaters and within seconds a figure comes and sits in the front row, he looks as if he is crossing his legs and taking notes or having a smoke.. you tell me
