00:00Led Zeppelin's Haunted Tour Bus. Rock mythology meets folklore. Rock mythology in the 1970s wasn't

00:07just about guitar solos and groupies, it required genuine mystery. Led Zeppelin's eerie aura fueled

00:14endless debates over a possibly haunted tour bus. Page's occult fascination amplified these

00:19legendary tales. The guitarist's occult interests created a framework for decades of supernatural

00:25folklore. His 1970 purchase of Bullskin House, Alistair Crowley's former Scottish Manor, underscored

00:32a genuine commitment to mysticism. This artistic philosophy influenced albums like Led Zeppelin

00:384, weaving esoteric themes into tracks like Stairway to Heaven. The haunted tour bus exists

00:44more in fan legend than verified history, but its power persists. Stories include unexplained

00:50phenomena like strange knocks, whispers, and unsettling feelings. These tales, while lacking

00:57official confirmation from Zeppelin members, endure due to their alignment with the band's

01:01mystique. Page admits to supernatural energies affecting their work, but specific bus stories

01:07remain folklore. Supernatural narratives became integral to Zeppelin's artistic identity and

01:12enduring appeal. These stories reflect Led Zeppelin's genuine connection with mystery. Page curated

01:19an occult persona that enhanced their artistic output. The supernatural folklore, from Bullskin

01:25House's documented history to whispered tour bus encounters, created a feedback loop where mystery

01:30influenced art, which generated more mystery. This alchemy transformed Led Zeppelin into cultural

01:36mythology, enduring beyond their career. Folklore fuels Rock's artistry.
