@@StrangeHistoryXdid you ever see the strange story told by singer Ricky Nelson's daughter about living in the house that was owned by Errol Flynn and how she believes it's possessed by his evil ghost and that it was dragging her on the floor ? You might want to look for that story .

Not everybody believes in hauntings , ghosts , and spirits ... I do , I've seen some things that I hope I would never ever have to see again . ... but then again it's always interesting to hear other people's ghost stories ... it's just not fun to actually experience them ... especially if you're alone . So if you want to tell us anything that you've experienced there on the paranormal side there are some of us who would like to hear of them ... if you feel like sharing .
@@gardensofthegods im a believer too but ive only had 1 place that i worked at that was freaky haunted but that building had a seedy history and i kind of got use to the spirits that walked the halls there as it was the alive people i worked with where much more concerning. But on the other hand ive had 3 other human gosht encounters and i dont know why i seem to see them but ive seen many dead pets of other peoples and 1 of my own, cats mainly. I personally think some people are just more open to seeing them and some people belive so strongly that ghosts dont exist that they unconsciously shut off that part of our ancestral humanity that they either would never believe it even if its in their faces or only belive it because it was right in their faces. Ie: a more disruptive presence. And every other encounter they probably did not realize it was not of this realm, kind of like the cats. They would just think they seen an alive cat and that was that. I only knew i seen cats because in my frist encounter that was pointed out that i just had an encounter was for example, i walked out of my room and as i was coming out of the door way to run to the toilet, 1 of the cats got under foot trying to smooch up my legs as cats do but i had to go, did not think much of it at first, i thought the silver tabby was one of our cats that had snuck in to escape the cold but from the bathroom i could see both of our cats asleep on the bonnet of my car like 20 seconds later. This was at my ex husband's grandmother's house where we where staying while our house was getting built and i asked her did she either let nibbles or scruffy in or our just now, Nope but she was quick to say that she see's tommy too but no one believes her, you just met a big silver tabby in the hall or kitchen yeah? Well he died 20+ years ago and you will see him hanging around there quite a bit, well if he likes you, you will have run ins with him. He must like you!. thats just 1 encounter. I met tommy and after that would see him kind of in my periphery in the hall and kitchen. It was not like i was getting couch cuddles. Mind you her son and grand son thought she was mad but i almost stood on her dead cat that she actually showed me photos of abd that was tommy ,so she cant be that bonkers...lol
Fabulous video, thank you soo much❣️ My brother n I have always been obsessed with Chateau and planned on a lifelong dream visit there....we waited too long and now he juz passed away 6.2.24😢 I promise to still go there though and take his ashes n memories🕊💋
What a fascinating history! I’ve been numerous times and always knew the Chateau had some stories to tell, but never fully researched. Vintage LA will always have my heart
In fall: 1997 I was visiting LA for a few days. We went by this hotel, area. I was walking by the back section. The residential neighborhoods 1990s were close to the hotel. It was 1000pm 1100pm week night. It seemed quiet, no street traffic.
The first time I stayed there in the 90s Keanu Reeves was living there at 5 PM every day. He would come down to the pool. he would strip down to his tidy Whiteys and cannonball into the pool he was kind of in his own little world, and he was quoting Shakespeare memorizing lines for his next movie if you want, I can tell you about the ghosts I experienced While staying in the room where Montgomery Cliff held out for six months Joey Bowie
You have done it again Scott! What a fantastic video. These old resorts always facinate me. I always wish i could get my hands on a set of the blueprints to see what this bldg really offers. If walls could talk! Great job again!
I respect your line, "...when people tried to act and look their best in public." I'm just old enough to remember those days, when folks wore their "Sunday Best" to travel by bus and air. Just curious: Why is 1970 your demarcation line for this huge societal shift?
Very well done, and intriguing as hell. I just found out that one of my favorite '80's movies, "Clue" was written by Jonathan Lynn at the Chateau Marmont while he was staying there.
Scott, this was fantastic. Thanks, for sharing. Just read your information to the video. Made me laugh. Your content far exceeds many I've seen on YT. Love the clothing of the 40's especially the women's. If I win the lottery or inherit a lot of money, I'd love to hire you to do a video of my hometown of Buckeye Lake, Ohio. There's a lot of history especially because of the Amusement Park & it's proximity to Columbus. I personally have a lot of memories at the Roller Skating Rink & the Crystal Pool. Also, my Grandparents owned a restaurant on the water front which was adjacent to the Pool & Crystal Ballroom. Ballroom was very popular during the Big Band Era. Quite a few celebrities were at the park. It was similar to a smaller version of Coney Island. You'd be a perfect fit to do a video. What I've seen on YT isn't that good. What made me think of the park was the postcards you shared. I've seen those of Buckeye Lake. Doing this type of content & obviously writing is definitely your calling. I'll keep you posted on the inheritance ;)
That all sounds really cool. Any chance the amusement park has a wooden rollercoaster? I was on one or two in my life, and they are really cool. Thanks for watching. I am glad you enjoyed it.
I am a lass of a certain age, that has lived in the area for decades. I have never stayed or visited. I guess I should have , for being a club hotel, that I will never be asked to join. Thanks for the post.
@@StrangeHistoryXI was going to zing you as if you were Mr.Broderick. You know various things about driving abroad or what have you. I really liked Matthew's father as an actor now that I'm thinking about it.
thank you for such a comprehensive look into the chateau. as a new yorker, this place always seemed to epitomize hollywood glamour and mystique. these types of cultural landmarks need to be preserved and operated in traditional fashions for as long as possible, in my opinion.
Well this just popped up so I skeptically watched. Blown Away!! Great video. Very very cool pictures of the olden days!! Really loved the post card of the LA Olympics! This made me subscribe as I can’t wait to see and hear all about it! Thanks so much for sharing this with me! Great job!
Thanks! We love to watch the historic videos. And as we are on west side of America, Vegas, NV, we would love to hear about some famous/infamous places like Desert Inn where Howard Hughes BOUGHT TOP PENTHOUSE WHEN HOTEL TRIED TO KICK HIM OUT. LOL NOW Demolished and replaced but we are watching Freemont street be refurbished downtown but there are so many different horror stories from that area. Now our CLASIC TOWN HALL has been converted into a MOB museum. Lol Lots of historic people lived in the Highlands hotel in LA. Imo Jolie feels like old money in Hollywood compared to Brad Pitt and their divorce has been going on forever. My hun said they should just get back together and retire and separate recliners like many of our grandparents did to make their marriage stretch. Lol We appreciate all of tour time. 🙌 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩
Pardon my typos, I'm typing with gloves on while we work. #EnvironmentalServicesMatter Also thanks for picking up trash people left behind on line, very kind. We appreciate your gesture.
I'm grateful for your support and appreciation! It means a lot to me that you enjoy watching the historic videos. I'll definitely explore more about Desert Inn and other famous places you mentioned. Thank you for your suggestions!
Sure was the golden age of film 🎥 love all the buildings in America 🇺🇸 being an English girl these films are of great interest as England doesn't have so many great buildings like America has we have lots of castles and churches and of course Buckingham Palace where our Queen lives and that is beautiful inside and out but nothing like America 🇺🇸 great video very interesting thank you for sharing it with us.
Hi! This is a great video, I work up the street at Book Soup. As far as I know, the "private club" thing for Chateau is kaput, Andre Balzas' harrassment situ and trying to ditch longtime employees during the pandemic kind of killed it. My acquaintance Shawn Levy wrote the most credible book about Chateau, look forward to watching more of your posts :)
@@stflaw Just read The Castle on Sunset by Shawn Levy & am now obsessed which brought me to this great channel. Envy those who have gotten to experience it irl.
New here but have to say wow. Fascinating stuff. I'm in haunted Pueblo Colorado but have visited L.A. a few times and knew nothing of this place. It's absolutely on my to do list for my next visit. Excellent video Brother! Keep up the good work.
Yes I myself have seen some weird things that I would not want to have to deal with ever again . Would you be interested in telling us about some of the hauntings in Pueblo Colorado ?
Thank you, Scott. I learned of Chateau Marmont from a book by Michael Connelly, my favorite crime novelist. I've been fascinated with the building every since. Looking forward to more interesting history lessons from you. ❤
Loved this! I stayed a couple of days mo big deal but mostly the location and the way its hidden it quiet magical and the history behind it. It changed so much after the 90s. I would have love to live here in the 40s my gosh! BTW Manson met a certain person at the chateau in s party in 2006 .So that was a dreadful day .
@@StrangeHistoryX after I mentioned the 1940 semembered the black dahlia case yikes . I was obsessed with the dahlia for so long. Weird enough I lived in an studio apartment in town that way after thr fact I found out it was one if the places sfr stated at. All these hotels became tiny overpriced apartments. So that was freaky . I lived here my whole life ( in San Fernando Valley ) it's just home but once in a while I am reminded of how special it is . Than you Scott! Oh BTW I am.the one that asked you about the magic castle in Franklin Avenue. I am sure you know it. 😏
@@RLC-tr1wn Magic Castle is cool. I need to figure out a way to get in. There is so much about in and around LA that is magical. I used to live up in Topanga Canyon. Totally different world than everywhere around it. I still think that most people daydream about what it was like 100 years ago. Less crowded. Everything was new and vibrant and energetic. Now the idea of getting in a car and going somewhere fills one with dread. Elliot Mintz is smart. He sleeps in the daytime and is up all night. I think John Lennon got him into that routine. I’ve been thinking about doing a project on Laurel Canyon in the 60s and 70s but it’s kinda overwhelming. I might just do individual houses.
I almost didn’t click on this video because I thought it was another AI narrated mash-up… so refreshing to find well produced content in a niche overrun with AI garbage. 👍
Interesting history! I recall around 1969/70 there used to be a Magic shop or bookstore by the street there which I went to once! It was like a small shop!
I think its safe to say that people *in general* were not happier before 1970s. I sometimes get homesick for this beautiful bygone era (in terms of clothing, music and architecture), but yea, there were so many social issues that made the time horrible for lots of people sadly.
I was born and raised in Hollywood the hotel is on Sunset Blvd a busy street in Los Angeles. The Hollywood Hills begin at the bottom of the hotel. Its also a block over from the end of Hollywood Blvd.
Went to a very fancy exclusive wedding there. They held it on the rooftop at sunset. Once in a lifetime for me. For the two of them, business as usual!❤
Hey dude, I’m not easily impressed when it comes to this type of thing but I am very impressed with the research you did and the information you provided. This is a very cool report. Thank you very much.
Love the story! Looks up the Chateau Marmont and wanted to see pictures of some of the rooms but couldn't. I just could see the site where you could book a room for an exuberant amount of money. Guess if I ever get out that way I'll be staying at a Budge Motel if the good folks of Los Angeles have such a thing. Thanks for this well put together video.
I used to lvie there with a friend and the actor Chris Jones. Chris wasnt too well back then. His mind was somewhat challenged. I bathed him and took as best care of him as I could,..when he wasnt taking off into the small forest in the Hollywood Hills. We'd have to go find him and try to get him to return with us. We were always afraid he might harm himself. The Marmont was absolutely gorgeous in the 70s.
Tunnels like that most certainly had a reason. During Prohibition, booze could be moved back and forth to avoid raids. Prostitutes also could be shuttled from a nightclub to a hotel with discretion. Content creator here must live a pretty sheltered life. 😅
What a stroke of genius hiring an actress to run it. She would have had an inside knowledge of what other actors were looking for and know doubt had a number of inside connections. ❤
I appreciate the video and you did a great job! I want to caution you in regards to your mention about how an attractive celebrity doesn’t need to creep since he could get a lot of women. Creepy people creep bc of the power of it. It seldom has to do with if the person can pull or not. Again, I really liked your video! I appreciate how you seamlessly introduced historical facts with architecture and made it come to life.
To hear how these “ celebrities “ behaved and people worship them tells you everything you need to know about American culture and why it is in terminal decay.
Should extraordinarily talented people, who fill people's life with art, stories and joy not be treated with a lil extra care??. I believe so..they earned it.

Lucky enough to have stayed there 3 times back in the 1980’s. Utterly unique and yes, the swimming pool is surprisingly intimate! ❤❤

@@RLC-tr1wn Magic Castle is cool. I need to figure out a way to get in. There is so much about in and around LA that is magical. I used to live up in Topanga Canyon. Totally different world than everywhere around it. I still think that most people daydream about what it was like 100 years ago. Less crowded. Everything was new and vibrant and energetic. Now the idea of getting in a car and going somewhere fills one with dread. Elliot Mintz is smart. He sleeps in the daytime and is up all night. I think John Lennon got him into that routine. I’ve been thinking about doing a project on Laurel Canyon in the 60s and 70s but it’s kinda overwhelming. I might just do individual houses.
Primo presentation. Voice, pace, info, interest, spot on. Thanks!
I really enjoyed this...I love history and learning new things...I also subscribed...thank you
Welcome aboard! Thank you!
thanks. your voice did not break up on my chromecast. love your videos.
nevermind it kept skipping. going to have to watch it with my old eyes on my phone.
Reminds me of my love, Jim Morrison. 🖤
Jim lived in Laurel Canyon....
@@cheryl9389 actually Jim stayed with me at CMM whenever I was in town.
@@DarkSkies72 I thought Jim Morrison was always more associated with the Alta Cienega Motel
Good video, I enjoyed that 🤗

You did a great job with this video
Looks paradise 👌
I almost didn’t click on this video because I thought it was another AI narrated mash-up… so refreshing to find well produced content in a niche overrun with AI garbage. 👍
I just found your channel and I love it!
Interesting share! Thank you
GREAT HISTORY! thanks for this! It was fun place to rent a room in the 90s... I had many a wild time there over the years.
Interesting history! I recall around 1969/70 there used to be a Magic shop or bookstore by the street there which I went to once! It was like a small shop!
Duck Soup, perhaps?
I think its safe to say that people *in general* were not happier before 1970s.
I sometimes get homesick for this beautiful bygone era (in terms of clothing, music and architecture), but yea, there were so many social issues that made the time horrible for lots of people sadly.
I was born and raised in Hollywood the hotel is on Sunset Blvd a busy street in Los Angeles. The Hollywood Hills begin at the bottom of the hotel. Its also a block over from the end of Hollywood Blvd.
We had lunch at the Chateau when we were in LA. in 2020. Beautiful and historic place.
Went to a very fancy exclusive wedding there. They held it on the rooftop at sunset. Once in a lifetime for me. For the two of them, business as usual!❤
I’d definitely stay there
Hey dude, I’m not easily impressed when it comes to this type of thing but I am very impressed with the research you did and the information you provided. This is a very cool report. Thank you very much.
Very beautiful place
Love the story! Looks up the Chateau Marmont and wanted to see pictures of some of the rooms but couldn't. I just could see the site where you could book a room for an exuberant amount of money. Guess if I ever get out that way I'll be staying at a Budge Motel if the good folks of Los Angeles have such a thing. Thanks for this well put together video.
I used to lvie there with a friend and the actor Chris Jones. Chris wasnt too well back then. His mind was somewhat challenged. I bathed him and took as best care of him as I could,..when he wasnt taking off into the small forest in the Hollywood Hills. We'd have to go find him and try to get him to return with us. We were always afraid he might harm himself.
The Marmont was absolutely gorgeous in the 70s.
Great video ty
Thank you Scott. This was fantastic. Beautiful building but I think I prefer country estates ;-)
Tunnels like that most certainly had a reason. During Prohibition, booze could be moved back and forth to avoid raids. Prostitutes also could be shuttled from a nightclub to a hotel with discretion.
Content creator here must live a pretty sheltered life. 😅
Wonderful video.... living in Pennsylvania I've never heard of this extraordinary place ... thank you for this amazing video.
@ 8:46 The 1932 Olympics were held at the LA Memorial Colliseum, now home to the USC Trojans! Great video. Subscribed!
Loved this video. Thanks!
Very interesting i ❤ this video!
What a stroke of genius hiring an actress to run it. She would have had an inside knowledge of what other actors were looking for and know doubt had a number of inside connections. ❤
❤❤❤❤❤ I love your show! Beautiful and interesting. Thank you 🙏
I appreciate the video and you did a great job!
I want to caution you in regards to your mention about how an attractive celebrity doesn’t need to creep since he could get a lot of women. Creepy people creep bc of the power of it. It seldom has to do with if the person can pull or not.
Again, I really liked your video! I appreciate how you seamlessly introduced historical facts with architecture and made it come to life.
Just because a celebrity can still be creepy doesn’t mean actual not psychotic humans apply
To hear how these “ celebrities “ behaved and people worship them tells you everything you need to know about American culture and why it is in terminal decay.
Should extraordinarily talented people, who fill people's life with art, stories and joy not be treated with a lil extra care??. I believe so..they earned it.
Always wanted to stay there
I love ❤️ history
I didn't even know I wanted to know about Chateau Marmont, but you sucked me in. Good stuff. Thanks.
Found your channel and had to subscribe. Great content and I look forward to seeing more!
WE❤LOVE ❤YOUR ❤CHANNEL 😊
Nice work! Would love to see you follow through on making that Craig Ellwood video.
The Bonham/Zeppelin stories were about the Hollywood Hilton, not the Ch. M.
Yeah. I read all sorts of fake stories about that CM. It was getting annoying. I didn’t include half of them because they were so silly.
Sunset Hyatt...the riot house😂
Well done video and I was staying in the hotel the night John Belushi OD'd in the adjacent cottage
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
