In this episode, we unravel the fascinating history of a reportedly haunted American location, the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
We explore the hotel's origins, from its construction in 1886 as a luxury resort for the wealthy to its transformation into a college and then into the notorious Baker Hospital, run by the fraudulent "Dr." Norman Baker in the 1930s. Baker’s claims of curing cancer led to untold suffering and deaths at the hotel.
With all of this history, you will see why it makes sense that there might be a few restless spirits remaining in the halls and rooms of the hotel. Join us for an episode filled with history and accounts of the supernatural as we uncover why the Crescent Hotel remains a draw for ghost hunters and curious travelers from around the world.
