    Bigfoot encounters in Southern California: Edwards AFB Sasquatch

    We’re talking Bigfoot encounters in Southern California with Canadian friend Tessa! Because there's so many Sasquatch stories to cover, this will be a multipart series. Today's episode focuses on the Bigfoot encounters in and around Edwards Air Force Base, about 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Stay tuned for next week's episode where we cover the Fontana Speedway Monster!

    David Koresh's Hollywood Era

    Today we’re talking about the man behind one of the most tragic cult stories in US history — David Koresh who was born Vernon Howell and who went on to become the leader of the Branch Davidian religious sect, his life ending on April 19, 1993 following a 51 day stand off with the ATF and FBI who raided their Waco compound, resulting in the deaths of 86 people, 26 of those being children. Many people associate David Koresh with Texas, but he spent time in Southern California, attempting to be a musician, building a religious following and even getting his name changed in Pomona. What happened during David Koresh's Hollywood era when he was known as Vernon Howell? Karina Wilson shares all the details.

    Broke actor murders for honeymoon money or "when Aries go bad"

    Today on Haunted Hollywood Hour, we have a little astrological fun and find out our friend’s astrology, then match them with a murderer who has the same sun sign as them. In this case, Bel is an Aries. And I’m going to tell her the story of Daniel Wozniak — who is also an Aries. He’s an Orange County community theater actor who might be the stupidest murderer of all time. I’m going to tell Bel Daniel’s story and then I’m going to ask her “Why are you people like this? Aries, explain yourselves.” Also on today’s episode is Andrea from Long Beach. Since Long Beach plays an important role in this murder, Andrea will give us the Long Beach perspective.

    The Scandalous Pancho Barnes & Her Happy Bottom Riding Club

    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.
