Summary
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.

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 beaten up, but they have a history – and it’s a history that keeps coming back again and again and often, it returns as stories of ghosts and other assorted strangeness...
