In February 1929, owner Ned Doheny, son of oil tycoon Edward Doheny, was shot and killed by his personal secretary and childhood friend Hugh Plunkett who, minutes later, shot himself. The motive for the crime was never discovered, though rumors posited a sexual relationship, a dispute over Plunkett\u2019s salary and, most plausibly, the pair\u2019s involvement in the Teapot Dome scandal. Doheny\u2019s widow lived in the mansion until 1955, after which a series of sales almost led to its demolition, prevented by an  11th-hour purchase by the city of Beverly Hills, which converted the house into an event venue and the grounds into a park. Since then, there have been many reports by workers of mysterious sounds, the smell of rotting flesh and shadowy, spectral figures. That has not stopped it from becoming a favored filming spot for film and television, from \u201cThe Amazing Race\u201d to \u201cThere Will Be Blood,\u201d and a popular wedding venue. <\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"toggle-text-more text-preview\" data-toggle-trigger=\"bodyText\"><svg class=\"icon chevron-icon\"><use xlink:href=\"#chevron\"\/><\/svg><span class=\"more-text\">Show more<\/span> <span class=\"less-text\">Show less<\/span><svg class=\"icon chevron-icon\"><use xlink:href=\"#chevron\"\/><\/svg><\/span> <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.latimes.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The site of one of L.A.\u2019s most notorious murder-suicides, Greystone has been supposedly haunted ever since.
