Hollywood was home to movie stars in the first decades of the twentieth century – which came with their share of scandals, drug overdoses, and sexcapades – but in 1920, Prohibition arrived and created a whole new set of problems for Los Angeles.

The Tombstone Thunderbird & Season 5 Announcement Jan 19, 2021

Show notes

On April 26, 1880, the Tombstone, Arizona, newspaper, The Epitaph, printed a startling report. According to the article, two cowboys saw a giant bird outside of town, shot it, and carried its gigantic carcass into Tombstone.

How, I asked myself, could what seemed to be a prehistoric flying creature have been shot down by cowboys in the 1880s? Such a thing seemed impossible, but here was the story – and, of course, there was the photograph. That was the really exciting part! I still remember what that photograph looked like! Or do I?

Hollywood's Haunted Hotels Part 3 Dec 08, 2020

Show notes

Hollywood. As we keep telling you, it’s not really on the maps anymore. It’s not a town and hasn’t been for years. It’s just another part of Los Angeles that doesn’t look nearly as great as it does in the movies or on postcards. It’s a little run-down, more than a little seedy, and desperately trying to hang onto its former glamor like an aging actress that’s had one too many facelifts.

But Hollywood is a place for reinvention. Such is the case with the once famous Knickerbocker Hotel – well, not the by the hour part, but you’ll soon understand what I mean – it started as one thing, became another, and then something else altogether.

Hollywood's Haunted Hotels Part 2 Nov 24, 2020

Show notes

Today we talk The Cecil Hotel, Richard Ramirez, Elisa Lam, and numerous suicides.

Hollywood is nothing but a façade these days. It’s not even a real town anymore – it’s just another part of Los Angeles that looks a little worse for wear. And the sun-bleached hotels are much like Hollywood itself. They’re aging, faded, and trying to hang onto the glamor they had in decades past, when it was movie stars and not hookers that you’d find along Hollywood Boulevard. Some of them may be seedy and a little beaten up, but they have a history – and it’s a history that keeps coming back again and again and often, it returns as stories of ghosts and other assorted strangeness...

Hollywood's Haunted Hotels Part 1 Nov 10, 2020

Show notes

Many of Hollywood’s older hotels are much like Hollywood itself. They are aging and slightly faded, still trying to hang onto the shimmer of glamour that they enjoyed in the days gone by. Like other parts of Hollywood, a few of the hotels have seen face-lifts in recent years, which have stirred up memories and “spirits” of the past. Not all the ghostly stories, and wicked scandals, are products of recent times, however, many of them have been around for years.
