Episode description

Happy Spooky Wednesday, everyone! We've got some classic locations for you this week: haunted hotels and an abandoned castle (well, castle adjacent). First, Kala reflects on her recent trip to Las Vegas, NV by discussing Flamingo Las Vegas and Westgate Las Vegas. The Flamingo Hotel and Casino was the desert dream of famous gangster Bugsy Siegel. He was killed before he was able to see the success of the business, but he may be sticking around to oversee his business in the afterlife. But this haunting is mild compared to what happens just off the strip. The Westgate is haunted by none other than the king of rock & roll, Elvis Presley! And he's not the only spirit hanging around the property. Hotel rooms and elevators have their own spirits lingering, especially in the mirrors, the light fixtures, and the showers. You read that right... the showers. And no one wants to see a random hand while showering, right? Well... if you stay at the Westgate, that just might be your experience, and we've got the personal encounter stories to back that claim up. And Brittany tells us all about Squire's Castle in Willoughby Hills, OH. This building gives us gorgeous, renaissance fair vibes, but the lady of the house wasn't as big of a fan. She described the location as "exceedingly rustic" and we don't think she meant that in a good way. And we can't fully disagree... give me indoor plumbing, or give me death. And she may not have escaped this rustic home even in death, as there have been reports of apparitions, the eerie red glow of a lantern, disembodied screams, and orbs. But if you can handle the ghostly activity, it might make an excellent place for a LARPing campaign!
