Hollywood is built on illusion.

Lights. Soundstages. Carefully controlled darkness.

But what happens when the darkness doesn’t follow directions?

In this episode of One Up the Annals, host Rab Greeson sits down at the séance table to explore the most infamous cursed and haunted movie sets in film history. From early silent cinema to modern horror, where coincidence piled up, accidents felt intentional, and rumors refused to die.

Guided by special guest Victoria co-hosting as the medium “the spirits agreed to speak through,” this episode unfolds like a séance disguised as a podcast. Together, we trace the strange pattern that emerges when cameras roll on stories about ghosts, demons, and the Devil himself and something off-script shows up to watch.

You’ll hear about:

• Films that survived fires meant to erase them
• Sets where actors didn’t just play ghosts, they became legends
• Locations that seemed to remember what was done there
• Why certain roles feel like they keep the people who play them
• And how rumor itself can become a haunting that never leaves the screen

This isn’t a list of jump scares. It’s a slow burn through Hollywood’s shadow history—where belief, coincidence, and fear blur just enough to make you check the hallway afterward.


You came for the facts.
You’re not leaving alone.

Goodnight
