Dead Famous Fans

Episode 309 - Rita Hayworth

The unforgettable Rita Hayworth died of Alzheimer's after a glittering Hollywood career. But will she appear for a final curtain-call at the theatre where she dated Orson Welles? Whose spirit comes through on the ouija board? And what accounts for the biggest orb Chris Fleming has ever seen? The team visit The Silent Movie Theater, The Downtown Palace Theater and The Hollywood Museum to find out.

Episode 203 - John Wayne

Since John Wayne, standing 6'4", was the archetypal larger-than-life character, you'd think his spirit would

be easy to find. "The hell it is," as the Duke might say. Our resident cynic Gail Porter and ghost hunter Chris Fleming, displaying True Grit, travel to Tombstone, Arizona--the setting for several of Wayne's films--and attempt to unearth the spirit of this giant of Westerns. Alone at night in Boot Hill Cemetery, they examine photographs they took and find a pair of eyes that had been staring at them--but nobody else was there...at least, not a living body! With 28 ghosts reputed to haunt the Birdcage Theatre, Gail and Chris head there with high hopes. Just what is it they caught on the camera they left in a locked, empty room? And what--or whom--did they encounter on the Wild Goose, the converted minesweeper that was John Wayne's pride and joy?

Episode 307 - Grace Kelly

Hollywood heart-throb Grace Kelly found her fairytale Prince and married him...but they didn't live happily ever after. She died in a mountain car crash in Monaco, a world away from the streets of Philadelphia where she grew up, learned to act, and made her name. So could her spirit have returned there to relax in the anonymity she enjoyed before her career took off? Gail and Chris search Philadelphia for the ghost of Grace, including a theater where she first trod the boards, and a haunted mansion where things go bump in the night.

Episode 102 - Frank Sinatra

Las Vegas--the place to start the search for the spirit of Ol' Blue eyes. Ghost hunter Chris Fleming spends the night in a hotel suite that was once Sinatra's favorite. There is lots of positive energy in the room but Chris is particularly unnerved when scratching is heard on the window pane...5 floors up! Next stop is Thunderbird Lodge, a beautiful location on Lake Tahoe where Sinatra reportedly played cards back in his heyday. This place is allegedly very active with paranormal activity and, although Gail Porter and Chris record a startling EVP, they don't feel like they have contacted Sinatra. Their journey concludes at the Cal-Neva, a hotel that Sinatra owned. This location has a colorful history and a séance here seems to entice a familiar face!
