Dean Haglund's Real Life X-Files

Ghost Magnet with Bridget Marquardt - A podcast by Co-Conspiracy Entertainment - Mondays

For fans of The X-Files do we have a treat for you! Meet Dean Haglund, actor, comedian, inventor AND a downtown Los Angeles theater district aficionado! Prior to the show Dean took us on one of his signature tours from VERY SCARY ghost of the Hotel Cecil, The Bradbury, the Hotel Alexandria and many of DTLA’s varied theaters. In this episode Dean takes us on a deep dive of the creepy Los Angeles. Dean fell in love with the renaissance happening in DTLA. He has given tours for the Historic Theater Association and the LA Conservancy. He has lead tours highlighting Hollywood history, silent film locations and vaudeville legend & lore!  He spent the last few fears between LA and Australia, but now he’s shutting between Michigan and his LA lair.  In this episode we are recording from the historic Eastern Columbia Building, also known as the Eastern Columbia Lofts, it is a thirteen story Art Deco building. The Eastern Columbia Building is built of steel-reinforced concrete and clad in glossy turquoise terra cotta trimmed with deep blue and gold trim. The façade is decorated with a wealth of motifs—sunburst patterns, geometric shapes, zigzags, chevrons and stylized animal and plant forms. The building is capped with a four-sided clock tower emblazoned with the name "Eastern" in neon. When driving in or near downtown LA the building can’t be missed!  It opened on September 12, 1930 after just nine months of construction. It was built at a cost of $1.25 million as the new headquarters and 39th store for the Eastern-Columbia Department Store.  The building is widely considered the greatest surviving example of Art Deco architecture in the city. In 1985, it was listed as a historical cultural monument.  In 2006, the building was renovated into 147 condos and it is said the Johnny Depp owns 5 penthouses! But…is it haunted???
