Lizard People of Los Angeles

This pin marks the former Fort Moore Hill area tied to the 1930s Los Angeles Lizard People story. Mining engineer G. Warren Shufelt claimed his device detected an ancient underground city and gold tablets beneath the hill, and officials briefly permitted excavation. Nothing extraordinary was found. The story survives as an unusual Los Angeles conspiracy and urban legend, not as a verified underground civilization.
