The Nightout Podcast, Episode 54, Spirits at Sunset Strip, Part 1.

Welcome to the Night Out podcast. I'm your host Stephen Ballou, and this is a place for all your rest of spirits out there to tune in and hear true tales of the paranormal.

I hunt these stories down, capture them from the mouths of those who've experienced them,
