12 Haunted Houses of Golden Age Stars You Won't Want to Visit After Dark

In 1990, actress Pia Zadora bulldozed Pickfair, the 70-year-old Beverly Hills mansion where Einstein and Chaplin once dined. Her reason: a tall woman in white kept appearing in her children's bedrooms. That's not even the darkest house on this list. Behind the palm trees and red carpets is another Hollywood: cases closed in 48 hours, mansions that sat empty for decades, and hotel rooms that sheltered killers. This video counts down 12 Hollywood addresses where real tragedy, unsolved deaths, and lingering ghost stories collide, from Houdini's final séance to the Black Dahlia house to the Cecil Hotel. You'll hear about: Houdini's failed séance and the ghosts of the Knickerbocker Hotel Marilyn Monroe's mirror and Montgomery Clift's phantom bugle at the Hollywood Roosevelt The Perelson House, frozen in time for over 50 years Pickfair and why it was demolished Mob history beneath The Comedy Store Jean Harlow and Paul Bern's suspicious "suicide" and Sharon Tate's eerie premonition George Reeves' (Superman) mysterious death Greystone Mansion and the Doheny murders The Sowden House and the Black Dahlia theory Boris Karloff's rose garden Falcon Lair and Rudolph Valentino's ghost The Cecil Hotel, Richard Ramirez, and Elisa Lam Some of these stories made headlines.
