As we all know, Holly Madison and Hugh Hefter had a complicated, bitter history before the controversial media magnate’s death in 2017.
Same goes for Bridget Marquardt, who in the last few years, has been very candid about her time in the Playboy mansion and her feelings about being one of Hugh’s girls.
The friends launched a podcast in 2024 called Girls Next Level to talk about their shared history, as well as current events.
Perhaps it’s one way of getting closer. Then again, it’s hard to forget that in 2019, two years after Hugh’s passing, the pair tried a different way to find closure: a Halloween seance.

Call in the Spirits, Wherever They’re At
Together with Bridget and a medium, Holly participated in a Halloween seance with the intention of contacting the late legend. Holly explained her plans to E! News on the Wednesday before Halloween that year.
“I had this dream about him shortly after he died,” Holly revealed the day before the seance. It was a dream “where I went to the mansion and he came down the stairs with his arms wide open.”
“And he gave out his big laugh, it’s like this giant cackle that he had,” Holly described. “And he goes, ‘My darling!’ and he gave me a big hug and I could smell his cologne and I could feel the texture of his jacket.”
“It just felt so real,” she expressed. “When I woke up, It felt like that wasn’t just a dream, that was something more.”
“That’s what I would ask him,” she concluded. “If that was a dream or if he really came to say goodbye.”
Inside The Seance
And so she did, and at the time, it sounded like the seance went pretty well.
The pair livestreamed the entire thing on YouTube (if you have more than an hour’s time to watch them and this very nice witch perform the ceremony.)
Bridget says that their mission to contact Hugh’s spirit as well as various others was a success. Holly asked that the ghosts – as apparently there were several others – not damage her home.
Apparently, the women heard from Hugh’s spirit, and it did sound like the rift was mended between Holly and her departed ex.
Bridget reported that Hugh revealed to Holly that he periodically checks in on her life and her well-being from beyond the grave.
There were no weird special effects — overturned tables or flickering lights — because this was not a movie.
And it sounded like Holly was happy to hear from him, despite their complicated history.
