The Scandalous Pancho Barnes & Her Happy Bottom Riding Club 1:18:29

1:18:29

This week’s story is about defying gender norms in the early 20th century, leading a life of adventure and chaos, and experiencing all the joy and heartache that comes with committing to authenticity. This is a tale of woman who was forced to marry a Reverend when she was just 19, and when she wanted out of the marriage and was refused a divorce, she told her husband she was going to live on her own terms. She became a stunt pilot and test pilot, breaking speed records and winning races. She tested planes that would eventually be flown by Buzz Aldrin (in fact the first plane Buzz Aldrin ever piloted, she was the one who tested it!). She was the first woman stunt pilot in Hollywood. She created a safe community for women. She unionized stunt pilots and doubled their pay. And she did a whole bunch of other things, but one of the most remarkable was that she sued the government and won. This week, Andrea and I are bringing you the story of Professor Thaddeus Lowe’s granddaughter, Florence Leontine Lowe aka Pancho Barnes.

On New Year’s Day, 1970, a man claiming to be an astral traveler visited astrologer Linda Goodman in her room at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. He claimed that inside a hill next to the Cahuenga Pass, there was an ancient Egyptian burial chamber that held the penis belonging to the Egyptian god Osiris. So began Linda’s quest to scan and study that hill to find out if the astral traveler's story was true. Today on the podcast, Karina Wilson shares the interesting and tragic life of Linda Goodman as we attempt to find out if there really could be an ancient pyramid within the Hollywood Hills.

Hollywood Forever Cemetery: Why are graveyard enjoyers enjoying this graveyard so much? 45:21

I first visited the Hollywood Forever cemetery in 2005. The lure of visiting celebrity graves is the initial hook, sure, but there’s so much more to Hollywood Forever than just the tombs of famous people. This place is weird . It’s got elements of beauty and elements of tackiness. There's hundreds of thousands of stories within its 62 acres. This week, writer and historian Karina Wilson ( https://karinawilson.substack.com/ ) takes us through Hollywood Forever and shares some of its most interesting tales. Check out Karina's substack article on the cemetery: https://karinawilson.substack.com/p/the-hollywood-dream-5-hollywood-cemetery The song used in this episode is "Our Blood" by Rona Rapadas: https://linktr.ee/ronarapadas The cover photo is by Karina Wilson.

This Queen Mary Ghost is Eager to Communicate 59:35

59:35

It’s a 1930’s era luxury ocean liner that’s permanently moored at Long Beach and you can actually visit there, eat there, and spend the night — it’s a hotel now. But is it haunted? In 2009, Ryan, from BuzzFeed Unsolved, recorded a very compelling video of a plastic bag being apparently jerked upright and a tube of toothpaste plummeted to the floor. But the magnificent vessel has a long history that predates Ryan — it was used as a filming location for an episode of the X-Files – and many, many people (55 in total) have died on its decks. We delve into the Queen Mary's fascinating history and tell you about the one ghost that really wants to talk.

Love Wicked ? This guy probably inspired The Wizard of Oz . This story of a whimsical professor is also a tribute to Altadena, a city recently devastated by the wildfires this month.

This is another special bi-coastal episode of Haunted Hollywood Hour! I’m joined today by Molly Mullin, who is coming to us from Knoxville, Tennessee. Molly is a producer and photographer who’s worked as an Associate Producer for some true crime TV shows that are produced and filmed in Knoxville. She also has a new history and politics podcast with her historian friend Patrick O’Neil. It's a conversation between two friends to help make sense of where we find ourselves in American politics today and how American history can inform and prepare us for what’s next. She’ll share the very spooky history of one of Knoxville’s most haunted buildings. Meanwhile, I reveal a delightful connection between that building and a Hollywood landmark — the Magic Castle, the famous mansion on Franklin Avenue that’s a venue and clubhouse for magicians.
