The Tombstone Thunderbird & Season 5 Announcement

American Hauntings Podcast ·

2021/01/19

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

Hollywood's Haunted Hotels Part 3

American Hauntings Podcast ·

2020/12/08

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

Hollywood's Haunted Hotels Part 2

American Hauntings Podcast ·

2020/11/24

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

Hollywood's Haunted Hotels Part 1

American Hauntings Podcast ·

2020/11/10

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.Where To Find Us:Sign up for our
