FORT LA offers several self-guided tours, each focusing on a different theme, created by writers, architects, and historians, each with their own narrative. In what has become a tradition, Amber has created six separate tours featuring some unique houses all set around the theme of witches and magic.
This year, Amber has created her sixth trail entitled “Witch Houses 6: Spells and Magic”. Earlier this month, I posted an article about this year's trail and how to download the free tour guide, including a map and an introduction by Amber. To view that article, click here.
I've never had the opportunity to visit Los Angeles, but for the last few years, I've really enjoyed reading the tour guides Amber has created and learning more about these fascinating houses. It seems I'm not the only one, as LA-based arts and culture journalist R. Daniel Foster recently wrote an article published on Forbes.com about Amber's work with FORT: LA.
The article looks at the work of FORT:LA and how the collaboration with Amber began. Amber also discusses the changing depiction of witches and finding supernatural stories to inspire her tours. This fascinating article not only looks at this year’s exciting trail but also some of her favourite houses from previous years, along with some fantastic photos of the properties featured.
When the article was first published online, I shared it on our dedicated Facebook and X feeds. However, I wanted to post it here as well, so if you are new to this site or not currently following us online, then you could find it too.

This is a fascinating article and a thoroughly enjoyable read, and I am delighted that Amber's work has been both recognised and featured in such a well-known publication.
This is a must-read for fans, and I would encourage anyone to check it out.
