Our original Life and Afterlife episode featuring John Lennon was one of the first episodes we produced, all the way back in December of 2014. We were intrigued, not only by his life and death, but by the many ghost stories featuring him that popped up after his death. He has been gone for 44 years and was assassinated when we were both under the age of 10. We didn't realize at the time that we had lost a musical legend in an unexpected way outside of a hotel in New York City near Central Park. This was The Dakota and we paid it a visit in 2020 when we visited New York City. Stories of it and the area around it being haunted by Lennon have been told for decades. Did Lennon sell his soul so The Beatles would attain their fame? Why was he gunned down? And is he still hanging around in the afterlife? Join us for the life and afterlife of John Lennon.
