Dateline>City of Angels would like to take this opportunity to wish readers a Happy Halloween and announce a special treat: Before dusk descends and the little costumed urchins hit the streets, I’ll be posting this site’s very first Podcast Report. (Be sure to check back here shortly!)
Technologically challenged as I am, this podcast was a long time in development — from originally interviewing my subject, to setting up a home podcast studio and learning to properly work the equipment, to mixing down the final recording to MP3 format. Unfortunately, the project got placed on the back burner again and again. Now, with Halloween in the air, it seems the ideal time to post the item. Special thanks to my interviewee for all his help and patience in creating the first of what I hope will be a long series of similar features…

Turns out, they may simply be measuring the invisible forces that play tricks on our minds…
… Not sure if Creepy L.A. has fallen under the spell of EM waves, but this week the blog takes a tour of several popular Hollywood haunts with Antebellum Gallery owner Rick Castro, who “sees ghosts all the time…”
