Alcatraz Federal Prison San Francisco, CA
Celebrity Phantom: Al Capone
Al Capone has certainly made his presence known here! There is no denying this, since he was one of the first inmates to occupy the Rock. To stir it up, his cell is the only one Alcatraz that has been preserved with his belonging, immortalized as he left it. You might say, he’s a bit of Alcatraz’s forever favorite celebrity!
He’s made himself known by his disembodied whispers, apparitions and even the sound of spectral banjo music has often been heard coming from inside his old cell. Capone received a banjo from his wife which he played in his cell. His second hangout was the shower room, where he found comfort in being in. And yes, he played his strings there too. And, double yes, strumming of his banjo cords have also been heard coming from the shower room!

The Haunted Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells Texas
Celebrity Phantoms: Bonnie & Clyde
The Baker Hotel is supposedly haunted by Bonnie and Clyde. History tell us that Bonnie and Clyde stayed at the Baker for several nights during their crime spree in Texas. Their preference at the Baker are two specific areas of the hotel, the Brazos Room and the Ballroom. Many feel their ghosts are still present because they are reliving their fond memories. Others they are attached to several objects the hotel owns, keeping their ghosts very active. The hotel, when it was active, displayed a poem that Bonnie wrote for Clyde and Bonnie’s 38 Revolver. Are they looking for these possessions now?
Evidence? A video was once captured of a ghostly woman wearing a long old-fashioned gown walking from one pillar to the next in the hotel lobby resembles Bonnie. Unfortunately, this video has been made “private” recently.

This iconic historic hotel is the longest running hotel in Hollywood, and with that comes the ghosts! No disappointments here, the Roosevelt is haunted by a multitudes of spirits, two that happen to be celebrities.
The first and probably the most iconic is the spirit of Marilyn Monroe. At the Roosevelt, sightings of Monroe’s spirit mainly in the suite she frequented; room 1200. Her ghost often would shock people by appearing in a full length mirror and it got so bad that they moved the mirror from the suite to the hallway in an attempt to not lose customers. Some guests wouldn’t be that upset to spend the night with her ghost, at least they can say they spent the night with Marilyn Monroe.
If you miss Marilyn here, no worries! This is not the only spot that Marilyn has been found in her afterlife. In fact, many claim that she is the hardest working ghost in showbiz!
The second famous haunt is that of Montgomery Clift who prefers to keep his spectral activity in Room 928. This is where he stayed while filming "From Here to Eternity”. It’s reported that his ghost is responsible for furniture moving about around in the room and shifting occupants' luggage. Other hotel guests have seen him in the hallway rehearsing his lines for a movie or playing the trumpet.
