Haunted Hollywood
My special guest is author and researcher Tom Ogden, here to uncover the ghostly legends and paranormal stories tied to Hollywood’s most iconic stars and locations. In his book Haunted Hollywood, Tom reveals eerie tales of phantoms still roaming the film capital of the world—long after their final curtain call.
In this chilling conversation, you’ll hear about:
- Jean Harlow, the film siren who died tragically at 26 and is said to still haunt her Beverly Hills home.
- Elke Sommer, who believes a ghost once saved her life by waking her as her house caught fire.
- John Wayne, who has been spotted aboard his beloved private yacht long after his passing.
- Plus, stories from haunted hotels, theaters, and Hollywood landmarks that carry the lingering presence of the stars who once walked their halls.
From glamorous homes to eerie watering holes, Ogden takes us behind the glitz and into the shadows of Haunted Hollywood, where the spirits of film and television icons may still walk among us.
