As you can imagine, there are not always fresh stories to cover in skateboarding. New brands only pop up every so often, and you don’t really see skaters beefing to no end on IG like you used to. That’s why whenever we catch word of a tale that feels just a bit out of the ordinary, we’ll investigate it to no end.
That’s what happened after we saw this post by Tom Karangelov sharing rumors about a skate spot in Orange County and its supposed ties to Satanism. We were dubious of the claims at first, but were dying to learn more, so we got to digging.
We won’t spoil too much more and hope you enjoy our little journey into The Devil’s Playground.

I went there once with my friends to just hang out and smoke. This was before I knew anything about it being satanic ritual grounds. We met 2 guys there while we were walking around. They were kind of weird and after a few minutes of talking one of them pulled out a knife and said “have you ever wondered what it’s like to eat someone?” then they both laughed. Us being high and paranoid we laughed nervously but soon weaseled our way back out.
After I told the story to some other people they shared their stories about going there for halloween and seeing hooded people around a pentagram with candles. Nothing supernatural like this though. I really think it’s just a place that some satanic cult gathers at.
