Ghosts of the Knickerbocker (Stop 8)

Go behind the sign and on location to the Hollywood Knickerbocker Apartments (formally the Knickerbocker Hotel). The Knickerbocker was once the Hotel of the Stars, but as Hollywood Blvd. declined, it dragged the Knickerbocker down with it. It cycled from upscale apartment, to glamorous celebrity hotel, to a deteriorated residence for drug addicts and prostitutes, and finally to housing for seniors.

If you believe the stories, ghosts roam its halls. The massive art deco chandelier hanging from the ceiling in the lobby is the only remaining relic of the Knickerbocker’s once dazzling past. If you stare at it long enough, you might just be transported back to the days of Hollywood Land. Please don't forget to like & subscribe!

THE MENENDEZ BROTHERS (NEW EPISODE ALERT!)

Go behind the sign to the night of August 20, 1989, when the Menendez Brothers murdered their parents in the family's Beverly Hills mansion. It was a crime that shocked the world -- a prelude to the OJ Simpson saga. The Menendez murder case has been reexamined over the years with a new generation supporting the brothers who sit in prison for life without the possibility of parole. The questions remain: Did the brothers murder their parents in self-defense after years of unspeakable abuse? Or were the brothers spoiled rich kids who committed parricide? This series will culminate with a full-length documentary on the Brothers. If you can, keep an open mind until then.

COMING ATTRACTIONS: THE ASSASSINATION OF LEE HARVEY OSWALD

My obsession with the dark side of Hollywood began on the grassy knoll in the shadow of the Texas School Book Depository. When I was 15, my grandma would drop me off at Dealey Plaza on our way to my mom's chemotherapy appointments at Baylor University Medical Center. That summer, I read Helter Skelter for the first time on the Grassy Knoll. Sharon Tate was also from Dallas. Twenty years later, I found myself in the backyard of Lee Harvey Oswald's former home, a two-story Craftsman duplex in the heart of the Oak Cliff district of Dallas, questioning everything I thought I knew about Oswald. Stay tuned! Coming Soon!
