The scene of the Manson murders has found new life as a tourist attraction.

With the release of Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood,” a new generation of gawkers has swarmed Cielo Drive, where the notorious Manson killings took place, according to a new report from TMZ.

In 1969, followers of Manson descended on the West LA home, killing five. Among the dead was pregnant actress Sharon Tate and coffee heiress Abigail Folger.

The original home was demolished in 1994. A new residence was later built on the same site with a different address.

While most Cielo Drive residents today aren’t keen to discuss the murders, one man, David Oman, says he has been set upon by unsettled spirits — including the ghost of Sharon Tate — ever since moving in down the block.

“First couple of months I was in the house, there were things I would put on a table, come back a couple of hours later to find that they weren’t there anymore,” he said during a 2013 interview published to his YouTube channel. “And then we would find them in another part of the house I had not been in.”
