Does Joan Crawford Haunt this Earth?

In this episode of Ghostly, Pat and Rebecca explore one of Tinseltown’s most unsettling legends: the ghost of Joan Crawford and her Brentwood mansion.

After Joan’s death, the house became infamous for spontaneous fires, ghostly cries, and cold spots that never seemed to fade. Some say it’s Joan herself, unable to let go of the home she built. Others believe it’s something darker — an energy that fed on her turmoil and fame.

Joan Crawford’s daughter, Christina, claimed the home was haunted even during her childhood. She described unseen figures, icy rooms, and strange sounds from behind the walls. Later owners reported walls bursting into blue flame with no source of ignition, baffling firefighters and paranormal investigators alike.

So, was this a case of Hollywood hysteria… or a genuine haunting left behind by one of its biggest stars?

• The ghostly evidence from Joan Crawford’s home
• Christina Crawford’s chilling memories and what she saw as a child
• Theories about spontaneous combustion and spiritual energy
• How trauma, fame, and obsession might fuel a haunting
• And in a special side segment — a quick trip to Poland for a dance with the Polish Disco Demon, a spirit said to be powered by rhythm, light, and emotion. Could energy and music explain hauntings like Joan’s?
