As we take a few days off to enjoy the holidays, enjoy this Patreon episode from December 2023.

Founded in 1965 by entrepreneur Sapuran “Spoony” Singh Sunder, the Hollywood Wax Museum on Hollywood Boulevard has delighted visitors for decades. Even if the famous wax figures aren’t considered the most artistic, the Museum has a charm that keeps people coming through its doors. The building that houses the Museum used to be an old brassiere and luggage factory, and of course was a front for a speakeasy in the 1920s. So, naturally, it’s HAUNTED AF. Hear the history of Spoony Singh, the Hollywood Wax Museum, and the ghosts that linger among the wax…with suitcases filled with bras!
