Itinerary and highlights

Home of the Oscars since 2002, you might assume this is just a great place to start the tour, but we are actually also at our first haunted location. Hear about how it was originally the site of the Hollywood Hotel, and how Hollywood’s original male heartthrob, Rudolph Valentino, would still frequent the hotel after death, planting goodnight kisses on the cheeks of female guests. Let’s just say the waitlist got long here once the word got out.

Long before it was the Hollywood Wax Museum, and currently the Stella Adler Academy of Acting and Theatre, this was the site of the 1920s Cafe Montmartre. The nightclub was more like the original Chateau Marmont when it came to a celebrity hangout for stars such as Charlie Chaplin and Gloria Swanson. Hear about the paranormal activities that have occurred here over the years, most notably a National Enquirer reporter’s night at the wax museum.

If this place looks familiar, you may have seen it in the Quentin Tarantino movie “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” or the Netflix series “Hollywood.” This is Hollywood’s oldest restaurant, operating since 1919, and certainly has more history then almost anywhere in town. Hear about how this is where Johnny Depp learned he was going to be a blockbuster star, look at memorabilia of some of the restaurant’s most famous diners, and see the booth where Charlie Chaplin’s ghost reportedly still frequents. Nowadays, diners who have sat at his booth claim that his reflection is in the window behind him. Talk about a celebrity photo bomb…

This is an awesome building with a ton of tragic, fun and mysterious history and ongoing hauntings. Hear about William Frawley, best known as the curmudgeonly neighbor Fred Mertz on “I Love Lucy,” who lived and died here many years apart. You’ll also get to learn about the seance arranged to communicate with Harry Houdini, which was broadcasted live from the rooftop.

Who is the Hollywood Golden Age actor who used to wait here for his audition results and still visits aspiring actors?

Discover the fascinating history around the Ripley's Odd-itorium building and the ghost stories experienced by the people that work there!

This theater is currently inhabited by spirits who seem to be here by choice. These are people that loved the theater in life and contine to enjoy their time here, even protecting people within its walls.

Who is the actor that is said to still haunt the theater and what strange synchronicities arose around his untimely death?

Site of the First Academy Awards & the most haunted building in all of Hollywood with ghost stories relating to Marilyn Monroe, Babe Ruth, Montgomery Clift and countless more with hauntings ranging from the rooftop to the pool and private rooms throughout.
