America’s Most Haunted Hotel: The Paranormal History of the Crescent Hotel
Manage episode 485449001 series 3661123
High in the Ozarks stands the Crescent Hotel—America’s most haunted hotel. Behind its stone walls are true paranormal stories of restless spirits, strange encounters, and a dark past hidden in its basement morgue.
Once a luxury retreat, the hotel became the site of a fraudulent cancer hospital in the 1930s, leaving behind a legacy of suffering and death. Today, guests report apparitions, cold spots, and voices that linger in the halls.
In this episode of State of the Unknown, Robert Barber explores the haunted history and paranormal encounters that earned the Crescent Hotel its eerie reputation.
