Dead Famous

S02:E01 - Alfred Hitchcock

Gail and Chris experience what could be their scariest moment so far in the sance room of The Winchester Mystery House in Santa Cruz - a spectacular sprawling mansion whose owner kept an army of carpenters working day and night for 38 years and claimed her design plans were dictated by the spirits themselves. Chris finds himself taken over by a mysterious and forceful spirit and is so distressed as he writhes about that Gail fears for his very sanity and the crew have to intervene to save him.Remember the creepy old schoolhouse from The Birds? Gail and Chris won't forget it in a hurry, after the weird goings-on they encountered there.And deep beneath a San Francisco hotel that featured in Hitchcock's thriller Vertigo, Gail inches fearfully into a dark, forbidding tunnel. Could the ghost of the corpulent film director really have squeezed himself into such a confined space? And if not, just what is it that scares Gail so much?
