The gorgeous property was built in homage to a 15th-century Loire Valley estate, but the history of the hotel is replete with tragedies on a cinematic scale, with a famous deaths and lesser-known tales of woe taking place in the decadent abode since it opened its doors in 1929.<\/p>\n<p>For decades, visitors have documented sightings of A-list spirits, including Marilyn Monroe, Howard Hughes and Jim Morrison. And the comedian John Belushi \u2014 who died on the property in 1982 of a drug overdose \u2014 has been a decidedly friendly presence. Years after the &#8220;SNL&#8221; star&#8217;s death, the two-year-old son of a young family living in Belushi&#8217;s former bungalow would dissolve into unexplained fits of giggles. When asked why by his parents, he would say &#8220;because of the funny man.&#8221; When the toddler saw his mother looking at a picture of Belushi, he pointed to the image and exclaimed, &#8220;the funny man!&#8221; But the hotel is known for its discretion, and the staff will not comment on the bold-faced paranormal activity.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full-size wp-image-42603\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1024px-Radio_City_Music_Hall_3051638324_4a385c5623.jpg\" alt=\"1024px-Radio_City_Music_Hall_3051638324_4a385c5623\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1024px-Radio_City_Music_Hall_3051638324_4a385c5623.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1024px-Radio_City_Music_Hall_3051638324_4a385c5623-525x350.jpg 525w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/1024px-Radio_City_Music_Hall_3051638324_4a385c5623-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\n<h3>Radio City Music Hall<\/h3>\n<p>One of the world\u2019s most legendary concert venues, New York City&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.radiocity.com\/\">Radio City Music Hall<\/a> has been keeping audiences entertained for decades with its preternaturally leggy Rockettes and elaborate stage productions.

The aptly named <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crescent-hotel.com\">1886 Crescent Hotel &amp; Spa<\/a> in Eureka Springs, Arkansas is frequently dubbed &#8220;the most haunted hotel in the world.&#8221; When the grand Victorian building opened as an upmarket health spa in the late 19th-century, it was met with breathless reception. A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crescent-hotel.com\/history.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">newspaper article<\/a> from the time writes that &#8220;the magnificent structure [is] furnished in the most exquisite manner&#8230; it is lighted with Edison lamps, heated with steam and open grates, has a hydraulic elevator, and is truly a showplace of today&#8217;s conveniences.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But this initial enthusiasm waned, and the hotel was reopened as a college in 1908. Later, in 1934, a man named Norman Baker purchased the property and converted it to a hospital. The one problem? Baker lacked any medical credentials. And his unfortunate patients are among the apparitions spotted by present-day guests. The hotel&#8217;s frequent citations of ghostly happenings \u2014 from unexplained temperature changes to unexplained whispers \u2014 persuaded the management to hire an onsite Director of Ghosts, who counts haunted room tours and paranormal conferences among his duties.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full-size wp-image-42623\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/10527368_836678706366146_4963248680238955848_n.jpg\" alt=\"10527368_836678706366146_4963248680238955848_n\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/10527368_836678706366146_4963248680238955848_n.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/10527368_836678706366146_4963248680238955848_n-525x350.jpg 525w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/10527368_836678706366146_4963248680238955848_n-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\n<h3>Millenium Biltmore Hotel<\/h3>\n<p>While many have heard of The Black Dahlia \u2014 one of California&#8217;s most infamous murder stories \u2014 fewer are aware that the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.millenniumhotels.com\/usa\/millenniumbiltmorelosangeles\/\">Millennium Biltmore Los Angeles<\/a> is the last place that the tale&#8217;s protagonist, Elizabeth Short, was ever seen before her 1947 death. The dark glamour of the property&#8217;s traditional decor lends itself well to the eerie occurrences that are told and retold by visitors and staff alike. These include the sounds of laughter emanating from the Crystal Ballroom to cell phones commandeered by spirits, suddenly showing film clips from the Academy Awards, which were hosted at the hotel for several years in the 1930s and early 1940s.<\/p>\n<p>Hollywood has always loved a tale of mystery, and this hotel offers plenty, even naming a drink after its most famous guest with black raspberry Chambord as its base. What&#8217;s more, the site even cemented itself in a particularly beloved piece of afterlife-obsessed cinema.
