Haunted Hollywood: Episode 7, Hollywood's Haunted Hotels Part 3
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.

Haunted Hollywood: Episode 4, Hollywood's Haunted Theaters
What is about a theater that seems to attract a ghost? Could it be the range of emotions expressed by the actors, from joy to sorrow to fear?

Or perhaps terrible or tragic events occur in a theater – just as they do in other kinds of buildings – and that leaves an impression behind as a haunting.
Haunted Hollywood: Episode 3, Hollywood Studio Hauntings
