A haunted hotel.

A paranoid past.

And a story that reshapes everything we know about Angel.

In “Are You Now or Have You Ever Been,” Angel Investigations explores the abandoned Hyperion Hotel—but it’s more than just a creepy relic. Flashbacks to the 1950s reveal Angel’s first encounter with the building, its secrets, and the paranoia demon that preyed on its residents. Part noir, part ghost story, and all atmosphere, this episode is one of the most acclaimed hours of Angel—and it cements the Hyperion as the show’s new iconic setting.
