10050 Cielo Drive (08:30) was the street address of a former luxury home in Benedict Canyon, in the west-central part of the Beverly Crest neighborhood of Los Angeles, bordering Beverly Hills, where three members of the Manson Family committed the Tate murders in 1969.

The property had a main residence, guest house, pool, and 2-story garage. The main house had been occupied by various famous Hollywood and music industry figures. In 1994, both houses were demolished and a new house was constructed on the site, and the street address was changed.

Across the canyon from 10050 Cielo Drive is Falcon Lair (11:45). The Falcon Lair estate was built in 1925 by Rudolph Valentino, who named it after his unproduced film, The Hooded Falcon. The property is better known as a residence of heiress Doris Duke.

Aside from a steady string of famous previous residents, Falcon Lair forged its own reputation as a haunted house, with some speculating that the house is haunted by the late Valentino himself.
