  • Episode 7: Gangster Ghost of Hollywood
    May 14 2025

    On this episode of murder and mystery, host Bianca Lopez visits with the ghost of Bugsy Siegel, said to be haunting Golden Age Hollywood's favorite local, uh...haunt, The Formosa Cafe.

    From his early days as the rising hitman in charge of Murder, Inc, to his wining and dining of Tinseltown's celebrity class, we shine a spotlight on the darker side of fame - and one man's pursuit of it no matter the cost. Was his death in a blaze of gunfire curtains for Bugsy, or does he linger, ever watching the door to his favorite watering hole?
