HAUNTED: The Hollywood Sign

This episode of So Supernatural explores the haunting legacy of Peg Entwistle, a 23-year-old actress who died by suicide at the Hollywood sign in 1932 after her big break in the film '13 Women' was sabotaged by studio executives who cut her scenes due to the film’s controversial lesbian subplot. Her tragic death, coupled with her deep longing for stardom and the loss of her parents and marriage, has fueled decades of ghost stories. Visitors and park rangers continue to report sightings of a woman in 1930s attire, floating above the ground and smelling of gardenias—Peg’s favorite perfume—near the letter H where she jumped. The episode also delves into the broader spiritual lore of Griffith Park, suggesting a centuries-old curse tied to land disputes, betrayal, and violent deaths, including the ghost of Petronia, who cursed her uncle’s heir and the land itself. Despite the darkness, the story ends on a hopeful note: Peg’s name endures, symbolizing resilience and the enduring power of dreams, even in the face of despair.
