Mysterious ‘HELP’ Signs On Google Maps In LA Might Have Disturbing Purpose
By Dave Basner
Google Maps is very helpful with providing directions, but it has also proven to be a wealth of strange and interesting images. From UFO crashes on deserted islands to invisible men running away to creepy killer clowns to cheaters caught in the act to demons or aliens to petty neighbors, you never know what you might find on it. Well this week, something disturbing was spotted in the satellite imagery of L.A. on Google Maps, and it has upset many people who have seen it.
In an area about a mile east of Los Angeles City Hall, just off of North Mission Road, is a plot of land that has the word “HELP” spelled out dozens of times on the ground with materials that had been laying around the site. In addition, words like “LAPD,” “FBI,” “FEDERAL,” and the Spanish words “TRAFFICO” and “TERRORISMO” (traffic and terrorism) can also be seen.
Some folks think the unsettling messages were put there by a person dealing with human trafficking as a cry for help, especially since the location is close to the city’s shipping yard, where human traffickers might be engaging in illegal activities. There also appears to be what looks like entrances to holes or tunnels in the pictures.
