When Peet Montzingo, 33, moved into his new downtown LA apartment, he had no idea one of the world’s most haunted places would be looming over him and his neighbours could be ghosts.
Hotel Cecil, often called ‘Hotel Death,’ is notorious for it’s dark history of murders, serial killers and unexplained deaths – the most talked about being the disappearance of Elisa Lam, who’s naked dead body was later found in the hotel’s water tank in 2013.

If you’re in the market for a spook-tacular vacation, then make a beeline for Alton in Southwest Illinois.
If you dare.
Alton has a deserved reputation as the most haunted small town in America, with a long roll-call of ghostly residents, from phantom nuns to a bank robber who haunts the local Irish pub and hotel guests… who can never leave.
We asked Cory Jobe, President & CEO of Great Rivers & Routes Tourism Bureau, how long Alton has had
A ‘haunted’ jailhouse in Indiana, a dilapidated cinema in Texas and an Illinois car graveyard.
These are some of the abandoned sites that photographer Ben Geier has captured, with his nostalgia-infused photography drumming up an ever-growing following on Instagram.
The Illinois native, 42, reveals his motivation is to ‘preserve or document’ abandoned spaces in the U.S, with a particular focus on relics from the 1950s. He says: ‘We are on the brink of that era fading away completely, so I’m
In the autumn of 2020, while stargazing on his balcony in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Teju Cole was inspired to start taking photos of his kitchen counter. He decided that the daily migrations of his pots, pans, spoons, and graters paralleled the revolutions of celestial bodies, and began to track them in a “counter history.” A year later, he published the results as “Golden Apple of the Sun” (2021), a book-length photo essay that magnifies his solitary domestic experiment until it seems
The video for “A Barely Lit Path,” the first single from “Again,” Daniel Lopatin’s tenth album as Oneohtrix Point Never, takes place on a dark road in a shadowy forest. Two CPR dummies wearing turquoise jumpsuits are strapped into a self-driving car. On the floor, there’s an artificial-intelligence manual, a book about understanding computers, and a copy of “Erewhon,” the 1872 satirical novel that imagines a future in which machines achieve consciousness. The dummies play chess; they nap. Their rubbery
Es wird Barbie zwar nicht in Angst und Schrecken versetzen, aber Disneys gruselige Familienkomödie dürfte in den Schulferien dafür sorgen, dass die Kassen klingeln.
Der zweite Film, der auf dem Disneyland-Fahrgeschäft basiert, ist eine große Verbesserung gegenüber der Eddie-Murphy-Version von 2003 und bietet ausgefallenen Humor für Erwachsene und leichte Schrecken für Kinder.
Die schockierendsten Aspekte sind das Timing (Halloween ist noch Monate entfernt), die Laufzeit (zwei Stunden für einen Kinderfilm!) und die Qualität der Besetzung, zu der die Oscar-Gewinner Jamie
The filmmaker Justin Simien was researching the Haunted Mansion long before he realized it. As a boy, he was a big fan of the Disney attraction. “I literally remember riding this ride over and over again and thinking, ‘God, how do they do this?’” he said. In film school, he realized, “This is all cinema. It was production design — smoke and mirrors and lighting and music and sound.”
Now he is the director of the movie version of “Haunted
Sally Thompson, 67, was four years old when her parents acquired the most haunted pub in Britain.
With Sally as the owner now, The Highwayman in Sourton, Devon, has a quirky Tudor exterior and an interior filled with all sorts of gothic ornaments, freaky ancient and modern furniture.
The interior includes an ornament that nods to an elderly woman who lived in a shoe, a fairy-tale pumpkin house, and a fire-breathing dragon.
There’s also a 6ft minotaur, crystal tree, Tutankhamun
Promotional campaigns for “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” were largely complete by the time the actors walked out on July 13. In contrast, the buzz machine for “Haunted Mansion” had been scheduled to start on July 15, with stars from the movie — Tiffany Haddish, Jamie Lee Curtis, Owen Wilson, LaKeith Stanfield, Danny DeVito, Rosario Dawson, Jared Leto — giving interviews and walking a red carpet at the premiere. Such events can generate tens of millions of mentions on social media.

When my older sister phoned to break the news, I fell apart. Our mother was 86; I knew she would die one day, but it was the cause that changed everything.
My sister’s voice cracked as she said: ‘She killed herself.’
My reaction was visceral, triggering a sharp stab of pain in my stomach that crippled me and lingers on even now. I fell to the floor, crying: ‘It hurts!’
And it did — it actually physically hurt. Weirdly, the
