Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!

Booming derricks, Jazz Age decadence, and a fortune gushing straight from the California earth—Greystone Mansion was born of 1920s oil money and built to dwarf every other residence in Beverly Hills. At 47,000 square feet of concrete, limestone, and raw ambition, the estate became the backdrop for glittering parties where Hollywood legends clinked glasses beneath crystal chandeliers. But opulence has a price, and the Doheny family soon paid in tragedy: a mysterious 1929 murder-suicide that still stains the marble halls.

Nearly a century later, guests and film crews whisper about cold spots, shadow figures, and the echo of a single gunshot reverberating through empty corridors. In this episode, author and Greystone docent Clete Keith walks us through the mansion’s turbulent history, spanning oil booms, scandal, and a lingering darkness that refuses to leave. Step past the wrought-iron gates and discover why Greystone’s grandeur is matched only by its ghosts. This is Part Two of our conversation.
